Lindsay Lohan, you! Long-time readers of this website know how complicated my relationship with the Crimson Harlot has been. Early on, I loved this little Disney redhead, so cute and fun. Then she grew up and I liked her even more, between the spectacular guilty pleasure of Mean Girls and her silly off-set antics. But before long, her sexy party girl shenanigans became sad and tiresome. The…
Huck Cheever, man. Buzz wasn’t great on this film, mostly because it’s been shelved for so long. It was shot in 2005 and was supposed to come out in 2006, put the release date was pushed backed again and again until now, when it’s seemingly being dumped, smack dab into the “Spider-Man 3” opening weekend. Finally getting to see “Lucky You”, one can see why…
Movie Infos Title: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind Year: 2002 Director: George Clooney The very last US release of 2002, smacked at the year-end’s rear-end into a few LA and NYC theaters on the 31st of December, only now is it reaching Montréal. You’d think they would have premiered here, in the city where the film was shot; so many local folks (my buddy Johnny…
1997 (right!). Skynet and its network of computerized machines send waves of hellfire all over the planet, instantly annihilating billions of undesirable humans and destroying just about everything. Survivors then have to war against the machines, as they get more and more hi-tech and lethal. Like, the T-800 was already a pain in the ass, and now the humans must face a bunch of T-1000,…
“Who cares about the story? Why do we need to learn more about the girls? Who cares about them? [laughs] Don’t people just want to see us in bikinis and jumping off high buildings? Hello!” Hello Cameron! Don’t fret, I know all those other critics are beating hard on your new movie, but I’m on your side. I don’t care about the story. I don’t…
In Scott Frank’s surprisingly great “The Lookout”, we’re told at some point that accident victims who suffer frontal-lobe trauma sometimes lose their inhibitions. Far be it from me to suggest that the directors of “Grindhouse” got clunked something fierce during the shoot, but I’ve rarely seen filmmakers, in current Hollywood at least, expose their sexual and sadistic kinks on screen with such shameless glee! In…
Whenever I wander around my web site, I’m struck with how incomplete it sometimes is. What I mean is that I’ve seen much more flicks than I’ve reviewed. What’s missing is basically either classics I haven’t taken the time to rent, films I don’t remember well enough to review properly and flicks that, if you ask me, aren’t even worth reviewing all that much. I…
Aaaarghh! OK, I gotta say, maybe I’m gonna be too harsh on this half-assed romantic comedy. Oh, there aren’t two ways about it: this is crapola. But my feeling it’s absolute evil is a bit excessive. So you got Topher Grace as Pete, 20-something manager of a Piggly Wiggly grocery store and token smart-ass nice-guy best friend character. Then you’ve got Kate Bosworth as Rosalee,…

Then one day, all pretence of ordinary escapes the family home forever when Dad wakes his sons in the middle of the night to tell them he had a vision. An…
