Review: “Enough”
"Sleeping with the Enemy" was a cheesy B-Grade thriller sure, but the then still pre-superstar Julia Roberts was surprisingly convincing and Patrick Bergin's over...
Review: “Bruce Almighty”
After all too long Jim Carrey returns to his roots with a very mainstream studio comedy which sad to say is surprisingly ordinary. 'Bruce'...
Review: “Shanghai Noon”
I'm the first to admit that I've never been a big Jackie Chan fan though what I have seen of him, the one element...
Review: “Shrek 2”
The first "Shrek" was a bit of a masterpiece, an inventive send-up of fairy tales which was geared as much to an adult audience...
Review: “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”
As one of the seemingly few Net reviewers with no real love of "Star Wars" old or new (I was born in '78, so...
Review: “Godzilla 1998”
Many critics have trouble enjoying a 'popcorn' movie (ie. a film made purely for entertainment), which is why I hate being referred to as...
Review: “Dinosaur”
One of (if not the) most expensive film ever made - though the money could've been better spent. In terms of visuals "Dinosaur" is...
Review: “The In-Laws”
Funnier than expected, this remake of the 1979 comedy classic doesn't exactly work in a rehash way but does have its own quirky charms...
Review: “Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace”
As I came out of the theatre, I overheard a father asked his young son what he thought of the film - the son...
Review: “Shrek”
When Katzenberg left Disney after "The Lion King", their further animated films from "Pocahontas" onwards suffered as a consequence. Where they succeeded in though...
Review: “The Importance of Being Earnest”
After a successful and quite entertaining adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband", Director Oliver Parker dips into the well again to try and...
Review: “Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones”
Ahhh "Star Wars", at this juncture many a reviewer would be telling you how the original trilogy was such an important part of inspiring...
Review: “Down with Love”
Starting off as a delightful homage to the Rock Hudson/Doris Day comedies of the 60's, 'Down' sadly heads too far in that direction as...
Review: “The Matrix Reloaded”
We've been kind of spoiled lately in regards to major action/fantasy movie sequels with both "The Two Towers" and "X2" proving as good as...
Review: “Troy”
Let's get the two burning comparisons out of the way - "Troy" is not "The Iliad" or "Gladiator". Sure, this is 'inspired' by Homer's...
Review: “Unleashed”
Poor Jet Li. After a star turn as the villain of "Lethal Weapon 4", he looked all set to break into the US...
Review: “O Brother, Where Art Thou”
I've only ever been a so-so fan of the Coen Brothers. Whilst I liked its dark edge, "Fargo" I found only funny in patches....
Review: “Monster-in-Law”
A dud start to the Summer, "Monster-in-Law" could well have been written off as just a comedy that simply failed to click if it...
Review: “Kicking and Screaming”
A "Bad News Bears" for soccer dads, 'Kicking' is a dead weight comedy trying to earn laughs out of its solid albeit overrated lead...
Review: “Road Trip”
All genres seem to have about a 15 year period of recycling themselves. "Scream" resurrected the horror genre, "There's Something About Mary" brought back...
Review: “Unfaithful”
On the one hand "Unfaithful" is essentially a toned-down TV movie-esque remake of "Fatal Attraction" and aside from its stars, there's nothing really here...
Review: “Daddy Day Care”
'Daddy' is probably the cleanest movie you'll ever see - its G-rated antics make the stuff in last year's "Scooby-Doo" seem pornographic in comparison....
Review: “Moulin Rouge”
Forgive me if this review sounds somewhat vague but Baz Luhrmann's latest "Moulin Rouge" is, well hard to describe. Its a very good film...
Review: “Van Helsing”
If there's one lasting impression "Van Helsing" leaves, it's that Hugh Jackman can definitely hold his own as an action hero. Given the right...
Review: “The Mummy”
It's formulaic, cheesy, and rips off "Raiders of the Lost Ark" like nobody's business. Yet one can't help but have a fun time watching...
Review: “House of Wax”
In spite of some odd moments of brilliance and its darker rating, "House of Wax" is as bad as all the other bland horror...
Review: “Kingdom of Heaven”
When it comes to movies, timing may not be everything but it does play a part. Back in 2000, time was on Ridley Scott's...
Review: “Crash”
The directorial debut of "Million Dollar Baby" writer Paul Haggis is one of those slice of life dramas along "Magnolia" and "Short Cuts" style...
Review: “Star Trek: The Motion Picture – Director’s Cut”
Unfairly maligned for being too slow, abstract or serious - the first Trek film adventure is unlike anything that came before or since for...
