Movie Review: Alvin And The Chipmunks ? Go To The Movie ? Star Wreck
2009-09-21 04:04:00 I love spoofs. Most of the ones that are made today are just over the top and simply aren?t funny in the least. Older ones realized that hilarity resides inside of subtlety and it?s all about the clever allusions and off-the-wall bizarreness. There aren?t that many movies that get that any more, but some do ...
Movie Review: The Very First Alvin Show
2009-09-20 22:55:00 I enjoy watching very classic television show. Don?t misunderstand me ? I?m not a fan of old television. Most of those shows really sucked, with only a couple of notable exceptions. But it?s enjoyable to watch as a sociological experiment, to see just how much television, humor and entertainment have changed in the intervening years. ...
Movie Review: Barney ? Jungle Friends ? The Movie
2009-09-17 00:17:00 I would love to spend some time out in the jungle. I have some friends who got to go through the Amazon rainforest and I am eternally jealous of them for that. My brother even got to go fishing for piranhas and you really can?t get a whole lot cooler than that. Well, for those ...
Movie Review: Shaun The Sheep ? Little Sheep Of Horrors
2009-09-16 04:58:00 I think the creators of Wallace & Gromit are some of the most inventive and cunning people in entertainment. At least, they are some of the funniest and most clever people in British entertainment right now, a position that has been glaringly underwhelmed ever since Monty Python went off the scene. Now the latest collection ...
Movie Review: HIT Entertainment ? Trick Or Treat Tales
2009-09-16 02:56:00 I am not a big fan of Halloween. I never have any good costumes and the parties I go to are lame every single year. It?s a made-up holiday all about spending money on refined sugar products you don?t need and then eating far too many of the aforementioned refined sugar products. But, as a ...
Movie Review: Whistlefritz ? Spanish For Beginners ? Inside And Out
2009-09-16 01:10:00 I don?t speak a lick of Spanish. I can ask where the bathroom is but not understand the response and be able to order at a Mexican restaurant without greatly mispronouncing any of my items. Now, I would like to learn another foreign language (despite the passable amount of German I know), but it takes ...
Movie Review: Thomas & Friends ? Hero Of The Rails ? The Movie
2009-09-15 23:24:00 Making new friends is one of the coolest things out there. There?s the excitement of meeting them and then getting to know them and then you see some of your interests starting to line up. Then you hang out a couple of other times and things really start to gel and then you become trusted ...
Movie Review: Disney Princess ? Enchanted Tales ? Follow Your Dreams
2009-09-15 22:37:00 I?m not a girl. Correspondingly, I don?t understand the fascination that girls have with their princess fantasies. They want to dress in pink and wear a sash and a tiara and who knows what else. Even some of my female friends in college were all caught up in those impossible dreams. I don?t understand it, ...
Movie Review: Audience of One
2009-09-14 05:33:00 At the age of 40, Pastor Richard Gazowsky - the magnetic and vociferous leader of the Voice of Pentecost Church on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco, saw his first movie. Soon after, he announced to his congregation that God had called upon him to direct a major motion picture. But not just any major motion ...
Movie Review: Ghost Cat, starring Ellen Page
2009-09-14 04:13:00 Released in 2003 as a made-for-TV special, this film was originally titled Mrs. Ashboro’s Cat. After airing sporadically on different channels over the years, the film is now being repackaged and given a new life as Ghost Cat - thanks in no small part to Ellen Page’s recent stardom. And though it’s very likely that ...
Music Review: Paper Heart Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (with music by
2009-09-12 04:36:00 Last month, the low-budget indie charmer Paper Heart made its way into theaters. Much like the film’s two leads (Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi) it’s easy to describe using simplistic words like “cute”, “sweet” or “endearing.” But it also had a little bit of an upbeat, though melancholy, personal feel to it, subtly tucked away ...
Bedknobs & Broomsticks: DVD Review
2009-09-11 20:10:00 In a lot of ways, ?Bedknobs? is one of a pair of Disney bookends with ?Mary Poppins? ? or perhaps it is Mary Poppins? not-so-well-known twin, even though ?Bedknobs? movie did wander even farther from Mary Norton?s original book, than did Mary Poppins from P.L. Traver?s telling. ?Bedknobs? was released some five years later, ...
9 - Move Review
2009-09-10 23:40:00 ?9 is every bit a 10? I have typed, deleted, and retyped this opening sentence a dozen times trying to find just the right thought and description to summarize and begin telling you about the film 9. It is the 2nd animated film from Focus Features and the first one in many years to capture the ...
Movie Review: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ? Mickey?s Adventures In Wonderland
2009-09-10 05:51:00 As embarrassing as this is to admit, I have never actually read either of the books about Alice and her adventures in Wonderland. I do have both of them downloaded on my iTouch and I am set to read them right after I finish reading the Jules Verne novel about Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. ...
Movie Review: Little Einsteins ? Fire Truck Rocket?s Blastoff
2009-09-10 04:35:00 My sister does some work as a babysitter and the kids she sits totally love this show. I had not had the chance to watch this show prior to getting this DVD in the mail. I don?t ever watch the Disney Channel during the day, or actually ever, so I hadn?t ever watched this show. ...
Movie Review: Power Rangers ? RPM ? Race For Corinth ? Defending The Dome
2009-09-10 03:54:00 I have always enjoyed watching this show, ever since I was a little kid. Who doesn?t like a bunch of attractive people running around fighting people and playing with robots and doing all those other sorts of great things that happen on Japanese television. I always had a crush on the Pink Ranger, Kimberly. Now ...
Movie Review: Brothers And Sisters ? The Complete Third Season
2009-09-09 23:11:00 Someday, I think it would be pretty cool to start my own business. I have no clue what it would be about or when I would do this, but I know that I would be able to put in the work necessary to be or at least attempt to be successful. There?s an old maxim ...
Movie Review: Desperate Housewives ? The Complete Fifth Season ? The Red Ho
2009-09-09 21:59:00 I lost track of this show for a couple of years, but I watched the first season of this show religiously. One of the most fundamentalist kids I knew and I used to watch every single episode, which was very surprising for me. I loved this show because it was about drama and crazy storylines ...
Movie Review: Disney Nature ? Earth ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-09-09 01:17:00 I wanted to see this movie ever since I saw the first trailer for it on television. It consisted of beautiful shots of amazing scenery from a planet I love deeply and it was set to a song from one of my favorite bands of all time, Sigur Ros. Nature movies are amazing and something ...
Movie Review: The Tiger?s Tail
2009-09-08 23:56:00 When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to get to spend about a week in Ireland. I went with my high school band and toured nearly the entire country. It was a beautiful place and I got to see the oceans and the peat bog marshes and the hills and valleys and ...
Movie Review: Pooh?s Heffalump Halloween Movie
2009-09-08 23:19:00 I grew up watching the adventures of Pooh. I liked them a great deal, but my sister was the one who really fell in love with the poetry and magic of A.A. Milne. She has since passed that point in her life and I don?t know if she ever thinks back on him and the ...
Movie Review: Greek - Chapter Three
2009-09-08 22:48:00 Did you know that there are both sororities and fraternities designed specifically for membership by Evangelical Christians? How strange is that? It?s like having a McDonalds built specifically for billionaires from Upper East Side Manhattan. Oh sure, they say that frats are really all about brotherhood and creating connections which will last a lifetime. But ...
Movie Review: Eli Stone ? The Complete Second And Final Season
2009-09-08 22:12:00 As far as I can remember, I have never had any visions or hallucinations. I don?t believe in ecstatic spirituality nor do I take psychotropic drugs, so I?m sure that certainly helps. I have had some strange experiences while taking Vicodin and I was knocked unconscious a couple of days ago, but I do not ...
Movie Review: Samantha Who? ? The Complete Second And Final Season
2009-09-08 21:38:00 Once amnesia was discovered, that must have been the best day imaginable for writers of all sorts across the world. What types of storylines would have been impossible without someone completely losing their memory and becoming someone else? Admittedly, amnesia doesn?t work like that at all, but it still makes for some great stories. Now ...
Movie Review: Scrubs ? The Complete Eighth Season
2009-09-03 06:06:00 I have heard that they are going to be making a ninth season of this show, but that it will be about Zach Braff as Dr. John Dorian. Now, I don?t know if that is true or not, but I can only hope that it will in fact not be true. The entire cast is ...
Movie Review: Dirty Sexy Money ? The Complete And Final Second Season
2009-09-03 00:15:00 Having money and power would be one of the most amazing things in the world, especially if you ended up being born into it. You could go where you wanted and do whatever you wanted and even buy your way into or out of whatever situations could possibly come up. That?s one of the reasons ...
Movie Review: Boot Camp - Unrated
2009-09-01 21:32:00 Several years ago, back when I was unemployed, I used to watch a lot of daytime television. It was boring, but it passed the time while I waited for all of my friends to get done with work. I got to see all sorts of things, but most of it dealt with cheaters and paternity ...
Movie Review: The Suite Life On Deck ? Anchors Away!
2009-08-31 23:45:00 I don?t sail or spend much time at all on the water. But I would like to. Boating is just a lot of time and money and I don?t have too much of either of those right now. Nonetheless, sailing is still really interesting and an ideal that I look up to. Now there is ...
Movie Review: Sonny With A Chance ? Sonny?s Big Break ? Volume One
2009-08-31 22:39:00 A few nights ago, I went bowling with some of my friends. I won one game and did quite badly on the other two, but that?s not the point. They were playing a bunch of music videos at the alley that night because there weren?t any big sporting events on. One of the music videos ...
Movie Review: Adventureland
2009-08-29 08:55:00 Not since Pan’s Labyrinth has a great movie been so poorly marketed. Well, it’s a bit harsh to say “poorly” marketed considering that Adventureland didn’t completely tank at the box office for a low budget film without any real leading star power. Perhaps “mis-marketed” is a better description. Where Pan’s Labyrinth was marketed as a ...
Movie Review: Adventureland
2009-08-28 20:52:00 I was less than excited when I first saw previews for this movie. But as I learned more about it, I began to look forward to it more and more. I have always enjoyed Ryan Reynolds, although he needs to start doing more good movies. Then there?s Jesse Eisenberg, one of my favorite young actors. ...
Bakjwi (Thirst) - Movie Review
2009-08-28 17:08:00 ?Love sucks? Vampire films have been around since the days of silent pictures yet every now and then a filmmaker will come up with a new and twisted version that stands out as gloriously original. Such is the case of writer/director Chan-wook Park and his dark, dramatic, humor laced horror flick, Bakjwi (Thirst). A film so ...
Movie Review: American Son
2009-08-28 00:46:00 I have one cousin and several friends over in Iraq right now. I couldn?t imagine being over there because I don?t like following orders and I really don?t like it when people are trying to kill me. But these people who went over there to fight are sometimes escaping from something over here. Now there ...
Movie Review: Kissing Cousins
2009-08-27 23:26:00 I think it?s a tragedy that there are fantastic movies out there that don?t reach many people because they didn?t sell out to the big studios. These are movies that are thoroughly enjoyable and tons of fun and usually rely on good writing and acting instead of just explosions and boobs. Well, a great movie ...
Movie Review: Women?s Extreme Wrestling
2009-08-27 22:32:00 I used to believe that I was a fan of cheap entertainment. After all, I love zombie movies and will watch just about anything, including most of the free movies you get on demand through Comcast. But then I got this movie in the mail. Now, I am forced to admit that I have class ...
Movie Review: Pete?s Dragon ? High Flying Edition
2009-08-27 19:45:00 I had heard of this movie, but I had never seen it until now. I was never much of a big fan of dragons when I was a child and it?s certainly not an affectation I?ve picked up in the intervening period either. But this movie is packed full of classic stars of children?s movies ...
Movie Review: Hannah Montana ? The Movie ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-08-27 19:07:00 I always get lots of negativity from people when I talk bad about Hannah Montana. I realize that many adore her, but I think she?s one of the causes for dumbing down that?s happening to children. If something is very popular, it?s usually because it appeals to the lowest common denominator and that can be ...
Movie Review: How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-08-27 18:29:00 Right off the bat, I don?t like romantic comedies. For one, most things about romance are not worth laughing at. Cringing, brimming with regret, feeling great pain ? those are things that go along with romance. Laughter doesn?t belong in that category. The closest I?ve come to a romantic comedy in a long time would ...
Movie Review: Thomas & Friends ? Percy And The Bandstand
2009-08-18 23:42:00 I once spent the weekend at a friend?s cabin and passed most of the time watching classic episodes of this show with her youngest brother. It was awesome because I have always loved this show. The show has changed a great deal since those classic episodes, but it?s still just as wonderful. Now you can ...
Movie Review: Barney ? Book Fair ? DVD + Book Collection
2009-08-18 23:17:00 I love to read and simply devour books ? good ones, bad ones, long ones, short ones ? it doesn?t matter to me. I will read them all. I also come from the school of mind that believes that children do not read enough. Whatever it takes to get them to read more, it?s completely ...
Movie Review: Bob The Builder ? Built For Fun
2009-08-18 22:37:00 Television is a nearly magical invention, especially when you?re a child. You turn it on and it transports you to wherever you need to go. You can be at the bottom of the ocean or on the moon or in a fantastic foreign country. Especially as a child, you can learn about all sorts of ...
Movie Review: American Gladiators ? The Original Series ? The Battle Begins
2009-08-18 21:48:00 I never watched this show when it was on television originally, but I did make a habit of watching whatever reruns I could find of the original. It?s a great show and it?s wholly enjoyable. They rebooted it last year and brought out basically the same show that was updated just a little bit. Yet, ...
Movie Review: I Love You, Man
2009-08-18 06:41:00 I love these Bro-mance and man/baby movies. They are crude and hilarious and they tape into the mind of a generation that far too often feels emasculated and doesn?t know how to handle themselves as men any longer. The characters in these films grow up and learn about all aspects of being a man. Judd ...
Movie Review: Race To Witch Mountain ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-08-18 03:32:00 I love movies about aliens. There is usually adventure and intrigue and very often some great explosions. But these films also help us to confront the questions about what it means to be human and what exactly it is that sets us apart. Is there something about us that makes us worth saving? Those are ...
Movie Review: Delgo
2009-08-18 02:51:00 I?m not above liking a good fantasy story every now and again. I would rather deal with space or the future or a dystopia, but some fantasy stories are magnificent ? no doubt about it. One certainly thinks about J.R.R. Tolkien, but there have been others as well. In short, there?s nothing intrinsically bad about ...
What to do if you run into some Somali Pirates on your next voyage.
2009-04-14 20:03:00 We all heard the news, and we finally got some brave sailors who did not give into these modern day pirates. They fought back and that is the way it should be. Our society is lately trying so hard to make everybody think that we should not fight back again the bully. But I believe ...
Movie Review: A Mighty Heart ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-03-09 18:55:00 I think the media is fantastic. I don?t agree with everything they do but I certainly don?t think there?s some vast conspiracy of any sort in any direction. I particularly like journalists who put themselves in harm?s way to better inform us all. Well, now there?s a story about just that and it?s available in ...
The Young and The Restless : Soap Update for March 9, 2009
2009-03-09 18:10:00 Sharon asks Nick what he is doing when she pushes him away from her. He apologizes and admits that he just hates to see her hurting. She realizes this is really her fault, saying she practically threw herself at him. She says she knows he doesn?t want Phyllis to know he was here. When he ...
Classic British Comedy: Benny Hill
2009-03-07 14:01:00 I have lived on both sides of the ‘pond’, and I have to admit that I have a penchant for British comedy. It comes in two very distinctive flavours, the dry wry variety that I miss so much, and the slapstick. When I look back over the past 30 years that I have spent here ...
Movie Review: Things We Lost In The Fire ? Blu-ray Disc
2009-03-06 23:10:00 I lived with a drug addict for a year. That?s a dirty little secret to the small fundamentalist college I went to, something they would certainly deny. Not only was he a meth addict, but he was actively using the drug for most of the school year. It was an experience unlike any other I ... |
