I know that James Cameron’s Avatar may not be everybody’s cup of tea, and I’m not a doctor, but it seems like a bit of a reach to blame this man’s death on watching the film.

I saw The Surrogates yesterday, and I really wanted to like it. The premise is interesting: what would happen if everybody in the world could use an idealized representation of him or herself to interact with others? Also, the awesome Rosamund Pike (who will forever be for me Jane Bennett) somehow agreed to be in [...]

I saw this movie over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I think that Amy Adams is awesome, but the real star of this movie is Meryl Streep, who is delightful as Julia Child. And Stanley Tucci! This is probably the first time I saw him in a role where he did not give me [...]

Thursday was a friend’s birthday, and so last night I treated him to dinner and a movie. I told him that he could pick whatever movie he wanted to see, and I wouldn’t make any sort of jokes about it or be a bad sport at all, but despite having been given carte blanche, his [...]

Remember those beer commercials? Yeah, neither do I. But I did got see the Paul Rudd and Jason Segal movie this weekend, and definitely enjoyed it. My love for these actors is only slightly more fervent than my desire not to witness anything really embarrassing ever, but that edge was all it took to make [...]

I’m not surprised that Nicolas Cage’s new movie, Knowing, scored a fresh rating of 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. No, I’m shocked that such a high percentage of people were able to come out of that movie believing that it wasn’t a waste of effort, money, and minutes of their lives. No Nicolas Cage movie in [...]

A friend of mine wants to go see He’s Just Not That into You. He really really wants to see that movie. He has asked more than once, and begging was involved. I said no every time though, because I suspect, in a 2009 that has brought viewings of The Unborn, My Bloody Valentine 3D, [...]

I went to see Push last night, and it was just as terrible as the previews made it seem. You may wonder why, going in to this film suspecting that it stunk to high heaven, I would even bother. The short answer is friendship, and the long answer is, “Because I absolutely refused to see [...]

Here’s a blurb from a review of Renee Zellwegger’s new movie, New in Town: “There have been a lot of bad romantic comedies that have come along in recent months but this one really takes the cake–it is so condescending, so stupid and so utterly devoid of laughs, charm or recognizable entertainment value that I [...]
