Season One Season Two Season Three Here we go again! 4.1 – Authorized Personnel Only, Part 1 [ Talk about opening with a cheesecake bang! A blonde Jennifer Garner in a white baby-doll seducing some bad guy, then kicking a little ass before falling to a certain death… Ok, it’s just like the classic Superbowl episode on a train instead of a plane, and they…
The opening scene, which is straight out of the “Origin” miniseries, does a neat bit of sleight-of-hand and effectively depicts the traumatic childhood event which first triggered Wolverine’s mutant abilities. We then segue into an opening credits sequence which is almost as stunning as the one in “Watchmen”, showing how Wolverine (now played by the ever badass Hugh Jackman) and Sabretooth (Live Schreiber) fought in the…
The experience of watching “Idlewild” is unlike any I’ve ever had. Maybe this is what it felt like to Prince fans when they went to see “Purple Rain” and they already knew all the songs; this must also happen to those familiar with a Broadway musical who go see the big screen adaptation. Anyway, this was new for me, already having a “relationship” with…

Like in last year’s “I Capture the Castle”, Romola Garai plays a “consciously naïve” girl, Katey Miller, a straight-As American student who comes to Cuba when her father takes an executive posting at Ford in Havana. She should fit nicely in the country club crowd to which her family belongs, but instead she finds herself attracted to hotel busboy Javier (Diego Luna) and to the…
I only saw “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” for the first time recently and, while I thought it was kooky good fun and Gene Wilder was awesome as always, I found it rather inconsequential. This new adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl book, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the infamous chocolatier, is pretty much the same deal, minus the benefit…
Russell Crowe stars as John Forbes Nash Jr., who we meet as he arrives to Princeton University in 1947, a poor young man whose remarkable skills in mathematics won him a scholarship. He doesn’t really fit in with the other students though, and he has no interest in actually going to classes. He just wants to find a truly original theory, to think of something…
Movie Infos Title: Minority Report Year: 2002 While Spielberg’s recent work hasn’t been worthless per se, all of his movies for nearly a decade have been uneven at best: his “Jurassic Park” movies were fun monster flicks but excised all the scientific research Michael Crichton put in the novels and, while well meaning, “Amistad”, “Saving Private Ryan” and last summer’s “A.I.” were painfully maudlin. With…
Johnny Depp stars as George Jung, the only child of a working class man (Ray Liotta) struggling to make ends meet and a selfish woman (Rachel Griffith) who resents him for their modest lifestyle. Jung figures he’ll have none of that, so he moves to sunny California, where he gets into beaches, hot girls… and pot. It’s the late Sixties, and everyone seems to be…
There was a boy… A boy from London who fell for a beautiful French girl. A boy who fancied himself a writer, a poet who went by the name of Christian (Ewan McGregor), who came to 1899 Paris to write about the things dearest to his heart: Freedom,Beauty, Truth and above all, Love. Yet he did not know true love then, that is until a…
