What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas. That is the theme of this movie, which involves three guys retracing their crazy bachelor’s party in order to find the missing groom (not unlike Dude, Where’s My Car — except a lot more cruder). I can say that this film was a return to form for director […]
The big selling point of the latest Disney/Pixar film is that it is the first such film to be shown in 3D. However, since pretty much every animated film is shown in 3D these days, that is not a surprise. One thing that was surprising about Up is how dramatic it was during the opening
Until he finally gets to doing it, Drag Me to Hell is closest Sam Raimi has gotten to doing a forth Evil Dead film. This film makes full use of the campy horror introduced in that series and I had a great time watching the film. The film mixed scares with almost goofy gags, which
After over eight months of waiting, I finally got to check out the The Brothers Bloom. Was it worth the wait? Yeah, I would say so. It’s a more lighter film than, director Rian Johnson’s previous film, Brick and I thought it was a fun little con film. Most of the comedy in the film

I thought that the original Night at the Museum was a fun family movie in the vein of Jumanji (maybe one reason why the producers cast Robin Williams in a supporting role).

Just when it seemed that the Star Trek movie series was over, along comes this film which successfully reboots the series, while still acknowledging what came before. I can definitely say that I enjoyed seeing the Star Trek universe from a new perspective. This world was quite different from the previous Star Trek experiences, however
Wolverine is the most popular of the X-Men character, so it was probably natural that they would make a movie about his origins. However, I do not think that the resulting film would succeed in revitalizing the X-Men series. It was an OK film, however about half the film is quite light on action and

I almost thought I wasn’t going to write this tonight. I went to see the film and due to a blackout, the film cut out with 45 minutes left to screen. I waited at the theatre for over an hour, but it never reopened and I thought the day was lost. I then made the
Sigh. It’s always disappointing when you see a film you were expecting to like and it ended up not being what you expected. It really seems they were trying hard to create a sequel to a film that had as complete an ending that you could think of. The result is a film that throws
