Mirror Mirror - Movie Review


It seems like in most movies where there is a good versus evil story, the villain tends to steal the spotlight away from the hero and ends up being the more colorful of the two characters. This is definitely the case as Julia Roberts throws everything she has at creating a deliciously fun take on The Queen in this new version of the classic Snow White story.

The Hunger Games - Movie Review


"The World Will be Watching" is a very appropriate slogan for a movie that goes in to its release date with a huge built in fan base that has devoured a story originally presented over three best selling novels.

With high expectations firmly in place, the movie's success will depend on big box office numbers and that means recreating a story that will please both fans of the books and also those, like myself, that know virtually nothing about the story going in.

Winnie the Pooh - Movie Review


The return to the big screen of one of the most cherished animated characters of all time was a welcome addition to the year's crop of family friendly movies. Watching the honey loving bear and his friends in a an all new adventure is always a special treat to be shared by children and those that still remember what it was like.

Midnight In Paris - Movie Review


This may be surprising, but this is the first Woody Allen movie that I have ever watched. I'm sure I've missed out on some really interesting films over the years, but none of them have really looked very appealing to me. "Midnight in Paris" may not have been the best starting point to enter in to Mr. Allen's universe, but this is where my journey begins.

21 Jump Street - Movie Review


At first glance, "21 Jump Street" looks like the result of a movie studio attempting to cash in on yet another property from the 80's, but the end result goes far beyond that assumption with a really fun story that stays current while finding unique ways to both pay homage to and ridicule a decade that a lot of people really don't want to relive.

Silent House - Movie Review


This is yet another movie that is supposedly inspired by true events although you never really know how much of it is based on anything at all. "Silent House" does employ a film making technique that is actually really cool compared to some of the other gimmicks out there and gives the viewer a different perspective on watching how the movie plays out.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - Movie Review


"Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" is based on a novel by Paul Torday and is directed by Lasse Hallström who also brought Chocolat, Slumdog Millionaire, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to the screen. The movie stars Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, and Kristin Scott Thomas in roles that are absolutely perfect for each of them.

John Carter - Movie Review


Disney is hoping that "John Carter" will be a very successful and popular movie that can then become a franchise with the potential for several future installments. Based on a story that has a very rich history as a series of science fiction novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, this movie is based on the first novel which was titled "Princess of Mars".

Project X (2012) - Movie Review

Avatar - Movie Review



Easily the most hyped movie of any 2009 release partly due to the fact that this film and world was created by Mr. “King of the World” himself, James Cameron. He seems to carry a lot of baggage and expectation to everything he does although after making the highest grossing movie of all time in Titanic, you can’t really blame people for the reaction.

Aside from all of that, Cameron continues to put his heart and soul in to every film that he releases dating back to such great films as The Abyss, Aliens, Terminator 2, and even the Dark Angel TV series which starred a young and still unknown Jessica Alba.
