āPearl Harborā is a movie you just couldnāt avoid. I must have seen the trailer fifty times; fortunately, itās one of the best crafted ones Iāve ever seen, so it never bored me. What came out of these few minutes Iāve seen over and over is the very dramatic speech made by President Roosevelt (played by Jon Voight), Hans Zimmerās powerful score (in spite or…
About Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which I was one of the few to love enough to put it on my year-end Top Ten in 2003, I wrote that āeven though the stakes are impossibly high, thereās still place for humor here. No one takes himself too seriously, certainly not Arnold, whoās more than willing to poke fun at himself and at his character.ā…
Man, is this movie cheesy! But at the same time, itās embarrassingly entertaining. Cause even though the plot is inane and the direction is corny, the film is really dynamic and itās filled with good spirit. Itās both a musical and an homage to the glorious 50s. And Iām not sure about this, but I think the filmmakers themselves are being ironic. I mean, they…
I think what critics hate about Adam Sandler is the reason why I myself like his work: he doesnāt give a damn about critics, all that matters to him is making you laugh. In this, his first starring role, he plays Billy Madison, a moron who happens to be the son of a rich business man. Billy spends all day doing practically nothing with his…
I love girls. Really, I love them, which is a good thing because this movie is all about them, what makes them so lovable but also all those little things they do that threaten to turn that love into pure hatred. I donāt want to sound sexist, guys are assholes too, but at least with a dude you know where you stand. If a guyās…
Over the last year, two of the most influential Hollywood franchises of the 1980s, “Die Hard” and “Rambo”, have already added fourth installments. But those comebacks were small potatoes compared to the one we are witnessing these days, namely the return of Indiana Jones. I don’t reckon there’s any other movie-movie series that’s as beloved as this one, spawned from the combined imaginations ofĀ George LucasĀ andĀ Steven…
āWhatās cooler than being cool?ā āICE COLD!ā ā AndrĆ© 3000 in Hey Ya I wish I could say that āBe Coolā is āice coldā; alas it wasnāt meant to be. Itās a movie with some cool to it, but not nearly enough to qualify as āice coldā. Iām quite disappointed in director F. Gary Gray. Heās a minor talent, capable of workmanlike efficiency at best,…

John (Jason Lee) lives a relatively pleasant existenceā¦ Except that he hates his job, his girlfriend (Leslie Mann) can be pushy and bitchy and his father-in-law (Dennis Farina) is an overprotective madman! Oh, and he once promised the daughter of his slutty trailer-trash sister that he would pay for her college education, and now that she got into Harvard she expects him to foot the…
The 21st century’s answer to Cheech and Chong,Ā John ChoĀ andĀ Kal PennĀ have not only become the new poster boys for stoner comedy, they’re also rare Hollywood leads that are neither white nor black but, respectively, Korean and Indian. More so, this distinction isn’t just skin-deep: the characters’ ethnicity plays a central part in the proceedings, especially in this here sequel. Mere hours after going on a hamburger…
