Part two of our summer preview combines two genres not getting a whole lot of love this summer, science fiction and horror, albeit the summer’s most anticipated film is quite possibly at the top of this list. Of these six films, only three are particularly noteworthy. This a much more action-bent summer than past summers, […]

Here’s a list of movies not quite worthy of my Top 10 and not quite worthy of being branded as something you shouldn’t consider. I’ve also mixed in some indie movies as some films coming off the festival circuit are getting small releases these coming months. I call this my Watch List, because you’re supposed […]

Ah, here we go. Five movies to really look forward to these next couple of months. If you didn’t see the first half of my top ten, click the link. I think at least three of these movies will be very good. Not just good, very good. Can’t exactly say which ones although I could […]

Winter might be the queen of bad movie season, but spring has plenty of weeds in need of killing too, you just have to squint a little harder. Rainy days in spiring lure a lot of moviegoers into bad films, but you can keep that umbrella for when you’ll really need it if you follow […]

As promised, here are some other films that might pan out that didn’t quite have the chops for my Top 10 list. Check out the trailers below on YouTube and decide for yourself if they should’ve been Top 10 material. — Leap Year (Jan. 8) The Word: The impossible-to-dislike-even-slightly Amy Adams stars with handsome Brit […]

As I present you the Top 5 movies on my list of films to watch these next couple of winter months (click here for the first five), I’m getting a bit nervous. The reason is because when it comes to January and February, it’s hard to say with certainty that anything will be good. But […]

Winter is a season where bad movies are like landmines. These are all the movies every year that the studios lost confidence in so they release them during months when the box office historically does so-so and cross the fingers on making money back through a surprise hit. The only exception is usually Valentine’s Day […]

Winter is upon us! The first films of 2010 will vie to become the surprise first hits of the year. Last year, these films were Liam Neeson in Taken and sadly, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. As I mentioned during my Holiday Movie Preview, there’s a difference between Holiday and Winter – in my world. Any […]

There are plenty of Holiday movies that look good. The trouble is there are too many of them. We’re forced to sort through them; we wait to hear what critics have to say before we announce, “I have to see that!” The action blockbuster types we need little convincing on, but as for all the […]

Here are the top five movies I recommend this coming Holiday season. If you missed numbers 6 – 10, CLICK HERE. Keep in mind that Oscar-buzz movies got a bit of an advantage over the action blockbusters in this list. 5. Avatar (Dec. 18) The Word: James Cameron, the father of technologically progressive filmmaking, returns […]

There aren’t as many bad eggs in the Holiday basket as there are at other times during the year. You can generally find some upside in just about any film. With that said, I’m only really convinced that the top three movies on this list will be genuinely bad. The other two simply don’t match […]

Magazines, newspapers and websites have all been publishing something they refer to as a “Winter Movie Preview,” lately. How strange, you wonder, that I’m posting something called a “Holiday Movie Preview.” Let me explain. “Holiday Movie Preview” refers to the six weeks of awesomeness at the movie theaters from the weekend before Thanksgiving until the […]
