War Inc.
Starring John Cusack, Hilary Duff, Joan Cusack. Rated R. John Cusack plays a character very similar to his character in Grosse Point Blank in that he is an assassin for hire. You see Cusack’s character Hauser is a hired gun going to the highest bidder. The world has been taken over by corporations, where the highest [...] -
DVD Review: Get Smart
First off I want to say that I’ve never really seen the show so I dont know how to compare the two. As far as a film “Get Smart” is one of the funnier action comedies I’ve seen in a while. There’s about a joke a minute and an action scene or stunt every five [...] -

DVD Review: The Incredible Hulk
I must start out by saying that whatever impact Ang Lee’s 2003 version called “Hulk” I felt was too confusing, didn’t follow and other the story from the comic books or even the television show. Watching the followup “redo” has proved to me that Stan Lee and Marvel have taken complete control over how these films should be [...] -
A Look Back: Near Dark
With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to talk about one of my favorite vampire movies from the 80’s (no, it’s not “The Lost Boys”). The other 1987 vampire film I am talking about is Katherine Bigelowe’s (Point Break, Strange Days) “Near Dark”. The film was helmed as a vampire western and is very [...] -
DVD Review: The Happening
I just want to start off by saying that I dont think there’s been a movie thats came out this year that I’ve laughed so hard at until I watched “The Happening”. The pathetic thing is that its suppose to be a horror movie of some sorts. The plot is so ridiculous, the acting is [...] -
A Look Back: Trainspotting
Next to “The Departed”, “Trainspotting” (1995) is my favorite film of all time. The film focuses on four friends in Scotland during sometime in the 1980’s that live their lives addicted to heroin and doing pretty much whatever the hell they want. The film is narrated and focuses on Renton (Ewan McGregor), who is probably [...] -
Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
For those of you that don’t know, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is a romantic-comedy that hit theaters last April and stars lesser-known actor Jason Segel (Knocked Up, TV’s How I met Your Mother). It was penned as the first Disaster Rom-Com and was produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin). This movie is about [...] -
A Look Back: True Romance
“True Romance” (1993) is a fast paced saga written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott. The film starts out with comic book store clerk Clarence (Christian Slater) getting shot down at a bar on his birthday. He then proceeds to see three kung foo movies (as he does every year on this day) when [...]
