WALK HARD Release: Dec 07 - Review: 2 Jan Dec 09
Laugh Hard. ...RAY and WALK THE LINE, set the standard and simultaneously lowered the bar for musician biographies, WALK HARD takes every single cliché from those glossy turkeys and parties with a penis in your face. TOP
DAN IN REAL LIFE Release: Oct 07 - Review: 2 Jan 09
Dan in Reel Life. We know the movie's premise going in, so it's a waiting game for the Meet Cute. When it happens, men will run outside and vomit. It's that egregious. TOP
GRAN TORINO Release: Dec 08 - Review: 31 Dec 08
The Enforcer in the 'burbs. It's not a Dirty Harry film... really, it isn't. But someone forgot to tell Clint Eastwood. TOP
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD Release: Oct 07 - Review: 29 Dec 08
...and the Truth shall set you bleed... ...even the wordy title itself transports us back to grainy film and honky-tonk pianos, thrusting us bodily into the grimy, wild, paranoid frontier that was romanticized beyond its harsh reality. TOP
21 Release: Mar 08 - Review: 28 Dec 08
Counting to Dumb. I don't doubt this may be a true story. That the characters displayed such stupidity, I do doubt. TOP
GET SMART Release: Jun 08 - Review: 26 Dec 08
Get Dumb. And Dumber. It is obvious the filmmakers don't "get" GET SMART. They missed it... by THAT much. TOP
SAW Release: Oct 04 - Review: 25 Dec 08
To Die For. ...the original SAW displays a depth to its cutting edges that raises it miles above the average bear-trap nipple-twister. TOP
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH 2008 Release: Jul 08 - Review: 24 Dec 08
Hitting Bottom. Boy's Movie. In 3D. Serves its purpose of getting thirteen-year-old boys interested in slim blond girls with indeterminate Euro accents and tennis-ball ta-tas. TOP
FROST/NIXON Release: Dec 08 - Review: 22 Dec 08
...and the Truth shall set you bleed... ...from the stunning real life interviews that ex-president Richard M. Nixon granted British television host, David Frost in 1977, Ron Howard's compelling FROST/NIXON does what Oliver Stone's milky W. never could - it gets the job done. TOP
KUNG FU PANDA Release: Jun 08 - Review: 21 Dec 08
Movie: Chop Socky. Message: Kung Fooey. ...the awesomeness of the Panda is diluted with the insidiousness of the Pander. TOP
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL 2008 Release: Dec 08 - Review: 20 Dec 08
The Day Keanu's Face Muscles Stood Still. Keanu Reeves elevates his One Facial Expression Method to new levels of expressionlessness in this wooden remake of the 1951 film. TOP

Reviews in Progress: You can click on the pics to see the unfinished/rough writings that are surfing their way to their spot on this website even as you ogle them...don't expect them to be readable, or even to make any sense - they're just scribblings. Some are so unfinished they're not even posted here... d'oh! But you can see their pretty posters... ah, promises, promises.... hope was the greatest evil in Pandora's Jar....
