Director: Tim Johnson and Karey Kirkpatrick Genre: Animation/Family/Adventure/Comedy Year: 2006 Another kids movie, not by choice, I promise, but because my kids had been bugging me to see this one. And unlike Hoodwinked, this one actually was quite fun to watch. Though most people talked trash about Madagascar (which I actually liked), I agree with [...]

Director: Cory and Todd Edwards Genre: Family/Animation/Mystery/Crime Year: 2005 I normally would not have bothered to review this movie, but given that during my stay at Rocky Point the kids made me watch this about 3.5 times, I feel like I may as well give my two cents on it…which is about what this movie [...]

Director: Steven Spielberg Genre: Drama/History/Thriller Year: 2005 Good Ol’ Spielberg. A lot of the times it is hit or miss with him. When he misses, it is one of those devastating misses that make you wince. When he hits…he hits with decisiveness. I saw Munich when it came out in theaters and for one reason [...]

Director: J.J. Abrams Genre: Action/Adventure/Thriller Year: 2006 Ok, it was about time that I got off my ass and got started with the reviewing again, partly because of the hacking of my forum and partly because I have been largely distracted with my recent purchase of a 360, I have not watched as many movies [...]

Director: James McTeigue Genre: Crime/Drama/Thriller/Sci-fi Year: 2005 The first I hear of this movie was at the ComicCon last year, when we where shown previews of ‘The Fountain’ and the fourth installment of Harry Potter. However, I missed the actual trailer and only caught the interview with Natalie Portman. However, the idea intruiged me enough [...]

Director: Danny Boyle Genre: Crime/Drama/Family/Adventure Year: 2004 After having had a rather heavy load of films on my list, this movie came as a breath of fresh air. Light, spirited and inspiring, this pleasant film serves as a good counter point to the more disturbing subject matters I often find in the films I have [...]

Director: Lukas Moodyson Genre: Drama Year: 2002 Here is a bomb of a film to watch, in a way very reminiscent of “Nobody Knows” which I still hold as the saddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Here, as in the previously mentioned movie, the primary concept is that of abandonment, which in [...]

Director: Hayao Miyasaki Genre: Animation/Adventure/Mystery/Fantasy/Sci-Fi Year: 2004 For the longest time I had been on anime hiatus, mostly because anime largely is so disappointing half of the time. You get your occasional gems, Cowboy Bebop, Lain, Grave of the Firefly…but for the most part, even those that had potential, like Trigun and up being a [...]

Director: Eric Bress & J. Mackye Gruber Genre: Drama/Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Thriller Year: 2004 I got this movie for Christmas and it had been sitting in my unwatched pile of DVD’s for all this time. Perhaps shallow, perhaps not, I have to admit to not watching this movie solely because of Kutcher, whom I do not like outside [...]

Director: Fabian Bielinsky Genre: Crime/Thriller Year: 2000 I love Con films. I do not have it in me to ever be able to pull off a con like a con man, oustide of a harmless joke, but I admire (and loathe, in a twisted sort of combination) those that can consistantly pull it off without [...]
