Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Elizabeth, The Golden Age: 1 of 8
Elizabeth: The Golden Age could have been the perfect continuation of the stunning 1998 award winner Elizabeth. The history is certainly fascinating enough. The events taking place in the period in which the film is set concerns everything from the Church of England becoming the country's official religion to the defeat of t... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Hitcher: 1 of 8
The original 1986 Hitcher was a campy B-movie turned cult classic that claimed one of the most memorably sadistic antagonists and its fair share of shocking moments. While the 2007 remake reverses a few roles and certainly updates the gore, it still manages to maintain the unnerving mood of its predecessor and stays surprisi... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: 9 of 70
After stunning our muggle readers with my less than positive review of the fourth installment of J.K. Rowling's beloved fantasy series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it took me weeks to wade through the massive amounts of hate mail and death threats I received from the franchise's diehard fans. As easy as it would hav... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Bewitched (2005): 1 of 7
There was something ironic about seeing this summer's biggest romantic comedy on opening weekend, there were many girls as expected, but tagging along at their sides were their boyfriends, and for the first time in a long time they didn't look one bit reluctant. What made this film so bewitching to the male demographic? Perh... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Doomsday: 1 of 7
Perhaps Doomsday was a bad movie to start with. It had all the trimmings of one. With its campy, post apocalyptic story, the genre film was already a target of studio scrutiny. When Neil Marshall showed Universal his disjointed director's cut the studio probably hit the panic button. The solution, gut the film so that it fit... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: A Scanner Darkly: 1 of 7
Richard Linklater established a glaring, jarring and brilliantly unique animated visual style for his previous film Waking Life, and then incorrectly believed he should employ that style for subsequent films. This is a perfect example of a film that would have been infinitely more enjoyable without the distracting interpolat... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Shine a Light: 1 of 7
Let me preface this review by stating two things. One, I am not a fan of The Rolling Stones music. Two, this is not a documentary like many have been led to believe. This is purely a concert film featuring The Rolling Stones. Shine a Light begins with director Martin Scorsese trying to figure out what the band's set list wil... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Drillbit Taylor: 1 of 7
Drillbit Taylor makes quite an accomplishment in that it is a PG-13-rated film that has the feel of last year's R-rated Superbad. Most of the vulgarity that made Apatow's previous venture inappropriately hilarious has absconded to unknown horizons, and Drillbit is left with utilizing more crafty means at achieving laughs. No...

To promote the feature-length computer animated remake of Horton Hears a Who!, Warner Bros. release of the Dr. Seuss Deluxe Collection on DVD features not only the original half-hour Chuck Jones cartoon, but three more Dr. Seuss animated films, including the Butter Battle Book, Daisy-Head Mayzie and Horton Hatches the Egg. T... More..

Twenty years after Rambo III and only 2 years after Rocky 6, Sylvester Stallone returns to reprise a seminal 80's action film role as John Rambo, a Vietnam veteran who has trouble reestablishing himself back into regular life. In an attempt to distance himself from normalcy, he holes up in various remote locations and gets b... More..
