I’ve been searching my brain for a reason to like the Twilight Series and have come up completely blank. SO on the eve of the New Moon release I decided to vent about all that is wrong with Stephenie Meyer’s writing...
At first glance, Law Abiding Citizen is a simple study of good vs. evil taking place in a game of cat and mouse. Underneath it penetrates deeper, asking us to look at ourselves if we were in the terrible situation Gerard Butler’s character finds himself in and the justice system itself...
In honor of the upcoming holiday I decided to put together my list of the 10 best horror movies (to me). Feel free to disagree or support my decisions...
As anyone close to me can tell you I LOVE a good book. Usually it’s of the horror variety but I have been known to pick up a thriller, true crime or humor book on occasion...
Basic rundown of the premiere. ...
First of all the opening was very cool but why the "matrix?" I mean yes, Laurence Fishbourne was in the movie but I was waiting for Catherine to pick the red or blue pill at the end of the opening...
Patrick Swayze died last night after a long fight against pancreatic cancer.
Not just a pretty face, Mr. Swayze made a career out of playing the loveable bad boy, always just this side of the law...
The big news today? What happened last night at the MTV awards. First of all, I have to say I'm astonished at how many people actually watched it? (Or at least "youtubed" it this morning when they heard about the incident...
I’m not sure what some were expecting from a fourth installment in a series of “thrillers” which deals with premonitions of death but apparently this wasn’t it...
A few weeks ago I went to Chicago to see a play involving CSI’s William Petersen, (hence the television tie in for this blog) under the impression I’d be watching two hours of one of my favorite actors bring the words on the page to life...
Two hours of robots fighting...that's what I wanted.
Two hours of robots fighting...that's what I got.
How can you go wrong with Transformers? Optimus Prime beating up on Megatron? Great stuff...
Dear David Yates/Steve Kloves:
Have you EVER read a Harry Potter book in your life? Or does reading the dust jacket give you the right to demolish one of the greatest stories ever put into print? Ms...
*CAUTION: Major Spoilers*
Movies rarely live up to their book predecessors, a case in point is the Harry Potter series. Now I may get publicly flogged for what I’m about to say but remember it’s my opinion and I’m only one in a sea of journalists who’ve put in their two cents about the Harry Potter phenomenon...
I’m a girl and I like movies so the ever-popular species among my kind is the “chick flick” at least on paper. Other than a few jabs and insults throughout I figured this movie would be an hour and a half of romantic comedy and for the most part it was, coming in 12 min shy of the 2 hour mark...
It’s taken me awhile to think of what to write about this movie. It’s not that I didn’t like it because I did. Although it lacks the punch of its former counterparts and focuses way to much on Hugh Jackman’s rippling muscles (of which there was much) it had a plot (as far as an X-Men movie can) and a believable back story (again, given the context...
At first glance UP is your typical “kids film” with an evil villain, lots of loveable characters, and the occasional silly joke. Good thing I didn’t take UP at face value...
As a dog lover, I was skeptical to see Marley & Me. I had heard how sad it was and coupled with it being about the life of a dog I could only deduce why...
If God has a problem, it will not be with what I have done but what I am about to do.
I just saw Angels and Demons and I have to say it’s an amazing movie...
An average romantic comedy with a bit of a twist: Men may actually go see it! Matthew McConaughey has box office pull from his stellar smile and Michael Douglas is an amazing actor who stepped out of his father’s shadow many years ago with movies such as Basic Instinct and Wall Street...
This season has us watching episodes about Mexican boxing and space age parodies, making me long for the days of "King Baby" and the difference between Furries and Plushies...
It is that time of year again…the leaves are full and green, the weather heats up and Hollywood does its best to get you to spend your hard earned Summer dollars at the movies...
The latest endeavor from John Wells Productions, who invited ER and West Wing into our homes, is a gritty crime drama about the boys in blue.
Originally called LAPD, the newest show on NBC’s line-up is SouthLAnd...
Those who know me know I’m not a Phils fan in fact I do my share of rooting for teams who play against Philadelphia teams in general (with the exception of the Flyers...
How quickly 200 episodes goes by? CSI , at its peak had intriguing characters, interesting plot twists, death, destruction, mayhem, a lot of forensics and a sprinkling of Grissom and his quips...
Nicholas Sparks is a well-known romance novelist whose popularity has only gotten bigger with blockbuster movies such as A Walk to Remember and The Notebook...
Repo! The Genetic Opera is deliciously good at being very bad! The blood soaked melodies and biting songs cut deep in the jugular and leaves no one unscathed from the wrath of the Repo Man...
This movie is probably one of the best "film noir" movies I've ever seen. It's interesting because it's one of those films that you don't realize how much it will affect you until after it's over...
What would a “Hollywood” blog be without the obligatory post about the Oscars? Year after year one of my best friends and I sit down and watch the 3 (going on 40) hour program even when the only thing redeeming is a casual glance of Jack Nicholson in the front row...
It’s funny how sometimes art imitates life.
The International, on first glance, is a typical action movie with some shooting, lots of crashes and a little bit of blood...
An airplane crashes on an island on the way to Los Angeles from Australia. Survivors flood the beach as a giant polar bear comes out of the jungle and a mysterious figure looms in the tree tops...
Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday New York life, it's tough to find anything cheap, or dare I say it FREE.
Other than David Letterman, the best bet for a studio audience chance is still the Maury Show...
As I sat in the theater wondering why no one else who said they were coming arrived I pondered why there are so many Holocaust movies out right now. Valkyrie, The Reader, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Defiance all came out around the same time...
