Review: “Blade: Trinity”

Review: “Dungeons and Dragons”
Long ago in a land of magic, some very beautiful CG vistas and a rocket paced action finale couldn't help save the soul of...
Review: “Equilibrium”
Slickly made but somewhat derivative, "Equilibrium" many assume will be some Phillip K. Dick adaptation ala "Minority Report" or "Impostor" and thankfully its more...
Review: “Honey”

Review: “Shakespeare in Love”
After watching the highly-acclaimed but disappointing "Rushmore" I was afraid to touch another comedy 'applauded by critics', thank god I did take a look....
Review: “Closer”
A superb study of relationship drama, "Closer" is a very entertaining and interesting look at the uglier side of love where sex, intimacy and...

A tragic but spectacularly filmed opening ending with a death at great heights, and a hero who hasn't climbed since that day forced to...
Review: “Frank Herbert’s Dune”
Whether you love it or loathe it, David Lynch's attempt to adapt the Frank Herbert sci-fi classic into a film had a few good...

Review: “The Hot Chick”
Surprisingly funny despite being the standard dumb script expected with a Rob Schneider comedy, "The Hot Chick" reworks the old "Dating the Enemy" and...
Review: “Texas Rangers”
After months of delays, the James Van Der Beek western finally hits theatres though one wonders why they even bothered with anything more than...
Review: “Solaris”
One very common mistake is labelling 'science fiction' as a genre. Like 'period pieces', 'science fiction' gives us the context/setting for a story rather...
Review: “Extreme Ops”
Not as bad as you might expect, this rather visually interesting teen-friendly actioneer still suffers from the usual problems of a limited budget &...
Review: “Treasure Planet”
A marked improvement on last year's rather dull "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," Disney's "Treasure Planet" is one of the better efforts to come out...
Review: “They”
A great concept poorly executed, "They" has all the problem present in the previous "Wes Craven Presents..." title "Wishmaster". Gross out gore has been...
Review: “Timeline”
A Michael Crichton adaptation has always been a tricky thing. Crichton is the ultimate techno-thriller author, he delivers intriguing premises and puts a lot...
Review: “The Haunted Mansion”
A few months ago Disney announced that aside from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels, they won't be doing any further Disneyland rides-turned-movies. They...
Review: “The Missing”

Review: “End of Days”
On paper, the concept of Schwarzenegger vs. Satan sounds like it has the potential to be either a totally kick ass action flick or...
Review: “Rent”
"Rent" is a solid musical stuck in not so much a bad movie as rather a bland one. Utilising the formula he applied to...
Review: “Unbreakable”
Some TV shows, as they progress through their seasons, find their stories becoming more sophisticated and complex with a streamlined look which comes across...
Review: “The Quiet American”
Floating Junks and dozens of warm lanterns dot the harbour of early 1950's Saigon as gunfire sparks and echoes in the distance - the...
Review: “The Cat in the Hat”
Is there anything redeeming? Myers does have one moment which spoofs infomercials that did give me a laugh. Likewise every now and then there's...
Review: “Gothika”
This psychological horror movie is admittedly the best product yet to come out of the Dark Castle film production label. However, when you previous...
Review: “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason”
Comedy sequels are always a tricky thing, especially when your first one was such a success. 2001's "Bridget Jones' Diary" was beloved by a...
Review: “Sleepy Hollow”
