Director: Clint Eastwood Genre: Drama/History/War Year: 2006 Ahhhh! This is what good movies are made of. The second part of Clint Eastwood’s Iwo Jima series actually tops the first one, which I already believed to be a spectacular film. Needless to say — if you have read my review of Flags of Our Fathers — [...]

Director: David Yates Genre: Adventure/Family/Fantasy Year: 2007 I didn’t review HP? I am scratching my head, trying to figure out how exactly I was able to forget to review this. Sadly, by the time most of you read this review you will have already seen it, which makes this almost moot. But for those of [...]

Director: Kevin Macdonald Genre: Drama/Thriller Year: 2006 That golden statue Forrest Whittaker walked away with for portraying Idi Amin? Yeah, the Oscar? It was very well deserved, let me tell you. Only now am I getting around to watching this movie and his performance was amazing. It helps that the entire cast does a good [...]

Director: Matthew Vaughn Genre: Fantasy/Adventure/Romance Year: 2007 When I was first made privy to a short amount of footage from this movie at the Comic-Con I was just a little bit worried. Yes, it was based on Neil Gaiman’s book by the same title and it had been adapted by the author himself and not [...]

Director: Craig Brewer Genre: Drama/Music Year: 2006 I know what you were all thinking when you saw that trailer. Man or woman…the comment I kept hearing over and over was: who knew that Christina Ricci could be so hot! This is the girl that used to play Wednesday in the Adams Family, but to say [...]

Director: Jean-Claude Brisseau Genre: Drama/Fantasy Year: 2006 I’m not exactly sure how this movie ended up in my list, or how I heard about it. I think it possibly sneaked in back when I was looking at movies in Slate.com and they mentioned something about this movie coming to DVD. I read a brief synopsis [...]

Director: Clint Eastwood Genre: War/Drama/Action/History Year: 2006 It took me a while to get on the boat of this one, even after I had heard amazing commentary on this film, the first of two parts of Clint Eastwood’s Iwo Jima series. Even though the film was not very well marketed and not as openly received [...]

Director: Zack Snyder Genre: Action/Drama/History/War Year: 2006 I can not say I am disappointed with this film, because it is exactly what I had braced myself for. Only by watching the trailers, I knew this would be a stunning visual feast with questionable acting. However, keeping up closely with reviews coming out, I had actually [...]

Director: Michael Bay Genre: Action/AdventureSci-Fi/Thriller Year: 2007 Ok, take a moment to read that second line again. It reads: Michael Bay, if you are familiar with his films, then you know what sort of movie this was. If you are hoping to get content and tickle your brain, get out and run, this is not [...]

Director: Tony Krantz Genre: Horror/Thriller Year: 2007 I saw this just a couple of days ago and I am still pissed. Oh, I know I should have heeded the warning signs, such as the fact that it went straight to video. But it had Thomas Cavanagh (of Ed and Scrubs fame) and I like the [...]
