There’s some pretty thick competition at the movies this weekend as we head down the final stretch of the fall season and face the Holidays head on. So the question is, how early do you like your Christmas? Disney is guessing now. They bet you think Halloween was so last Saturday. They’re siding with the […]

You can’t really classify “Donnie Darko.” It’s not really a horror film though many parts are told that way. It’s not really science-fiction although it is focused on time travel. It’s also not really a drama because it has several humorous parts. All that considered, it’s not surprising that the film fell under the radar […]

Let’s be real, nobody actually wants to be 17 again, but it makes for decent comedy. “17 Again” borrows on that classic age reversal concept as made famous by “Big,” “Freaky Friday,” and “13 Going on 30” only it’s aimed at guys. I know, hard to believe that’s who would like this movie most, especially […]

As a journalist, I don’t do this very often, but let’s do a little math. Yesterday, November 3, summer flop Year One was released on DVD. The movie initially hit theaters on June 19. Days elapsed = 156. Also out on DVD yesterday was action flick G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. That movie didn’t […]

George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” is not standard horror. In fact, there are several minutes where this classic zombie film is just plain boring. There is brilliance, however, in the film’s static nature, like how one of the main characters, Barbra (Judith O’Dea), is in speechless shock for most of the film. […]

There’s something so timeless about “North by Northwest” and it’s not necessarily that it will echo with any generation. Cary Grant’s Roger Thornhill, for example, feels a little foreign among […]

Here it is, your first chance to see Jake Gyllenhaal with long hair and an English accent. Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer have released the full theatrical trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time due out on May 28, 2010. The movie is based on the popular video game series and the story follows […]

If Michael, Magic and Larry, etc. became the first ever “Dream Team” of basketball players in 1992, then the cast of the “Glengarry Glen Ross” should be considered the “Dream Team” of male acting. There’s Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin. You won’t find seven better […]

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Sony has announced it will extend This Is It to a third release week. The Michael Jackson behind-the-scenes footage easily moonwalked into first place with $23.2 million at the box office this weekend and made a tremendous killing overseas. In its first five days, it’s taken in a total gross […]
