Est. 1998
Whoaa! What a weird film! Basically, it’s like “Wayne’s World” in a cheesy 80s comedy. Bill & Ted are two excellent dudes who like to play guitar, party on and meet babes. But guess what, they’re the bases of the future of humanity. If they split apart, civilization is doomed. So 700 years from now, some dude travels back in time to lend our most…
At first it’s like we’re in any regular gangster drama. We’re shown images of New York and the Mob as Robert De Niro in narration tells us about 1957, the last time all the Families of the New York area held a meeting. It went awry, and there’s hasn’t been another one since… until now. De Niro’s character Paul Vitti doesn’t feel too good about…
Movie Infos Title: It’s a Wonderful Life Year: 1942 Director: Frank Capra This is one of those films that are absolutely perfect and timeless, like “Citizen Kane”, “Casablanca”, “Gone With the Wind”, “The Wizard of Oz”… Well, according to the countdown of the 100 Greatest American flicks ever released by the AFI in 98, this ain’t exactly the films that top the chart, but they…
That’s right, Brett Ratner didn’t screw it up! That may come as a shock to his numerous detractors, but I personally never had a problem with him. As I’ve stated often, there’s nothing wrong with a director deciding to just have fun making fun movies. His work has been uneven, but I had a feeling that given a good script, inspired crew and capable cast, he might…

“It Only Hurts When I Think”, reads the boy’s shirt. Two boys they are, and they don’t think too much, they’re too busy cracking each other up and having fun. Tenoch (Diego Luna) is the smallish, smart-ass teenage son of a rich Mexican business man, Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) is poorer but taller and better looking, which doesn’t really matter anyway, as they hardly bother…
SUNSHINE CLEANING I have a low tolerance for a certain kind of film that specializes in quirkiness obviously, patently meant to get your sympathy. NOTHING LIKE THE HOLIDAYS This is an observant, heart-warming film. QUARANTINE For a decent portion of its running time, it is as nerve-wracking and pulse-pounding as they come. IRON MAN As superhero movies go, it ranks among the very best efforts…
“Remember, remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.” Four centuries after Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the British Parliament, a mysterious vigilante going only by the name of V has decided to finish the job. After years of war and plague, England has become a totalitarian state where…
It used to be that when you were reviewing a generic, boringly efficient low-rent movie, you could just compare it to something made for TV and people got the picture. But in the age of HBO and series that are often much better crafted than a lot of what’s in theaters, this doesn’t cut it anymore. If I wrote that “The Sentinel” is like a…
