Fantastic Mr. Fox is a 2009 stop-motion animated film directed by Wes Anderson, who is known for directing such live-action films as The Royal Tenenbaums. Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson’s first forray into animated cinema, but how well does Wes Anderson transition into the medium? Read more
Imagine that.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a film by Terry Gilliam, who is probably most famous for his work on Monty Python (particularly, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one of the funniest films ever made). The film stars the late Heath Ledger in his last major film role, and Christopher Plummer. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a film about the power of the imagination, but does the film have the power to captivate the imagination?

I feel somewhat guilty that I just now have my review for Pixar’s newest feature, Up. But quite frankly, this one took me awhile to get right, and for all the right reasons. It wasn’t like the case with Transformers, in which I felt a cold indifference, but rather that Up is so great, I literally had a hard time trying to describe it. It is just that unbelievably good.

*Note: I never like to spoil any details of a movie in my reviews, but in this case I may spoil some of the nature of plot twists, but I’ll refrain from outright spoiling anything. So if you want to see this movie and don’t want any kind of details spoiled whatsoever, you may want to wait to read this.

This is a terrible movie. You may as well know that. In fact, calling this movie terrible may be insulting to one of my most used adjectives. Read more
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third installment in the Ice Age series of animated films. Usually, by the third film most series tend to run out of steam, but how does Ice Age’s third outing fair? Read more
First I would like to get something off of my chest…

2008 saw a lot of highs and lows in the realms of movies and video games. Records were broken, hype was built and classics were born. But besides The Dark Knight there were a lot of other cool things too. Robots fell in love, brothers were Super Smashed and Metal Gear’s convoluted plot lines were unraveled (and still left some confused). And then there’s The Love Guru! Read more
Once again the (now undeservedly) biggest night for film has come and gone. I figured I would give my thoughts on the event. Let’s start with Hugh Jackman. I actually thought Hugh Jackman was a pretty good host…
I have to say, I wasn’t all that excited to see Enchanted when it was released, but after seeing it I must admit it is a rather enjoyable and charming movie that really does bring back some of Disney’s lost magic. Enchanted takes what could have been a horrible mess of a concept…

When I first saw the previews for Hancock I couldn’t wait to see it. The idea of a bumbling super hero intrigued me and the physics of it all seemed more realistic to me what with him landing and destroying the street around him and stopping trains that ends up in their derailment. Preview after preview and my excitement grew. Then, as the release date crept inexorable closer I began to worry. Some preliminary reviews came out and from what I read Hancock did not sound like it was the movie I was hoping for or the movie the trailers portrayed. Will Hancock be able to save itself from the hype? Keep reading to find out!
