The creative, visionary, and Oscar winning animation director Brad Bird (who has directed the likes of The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille) as well as the writing team of Andre Nemec and Josh Appelbaum (the producers and writers of hit show Alias and the highly underrated Life On Mars) have come together to create [...]

I agree Surprised Lemur. I was really excited to see Tolkein’s Middle Earth in a whole different light, and I had an immense amount of faith in Guillermo Del Toro to deliver a great series of films. A Hobbit with just a bit of its own personality that would separate it from the Lord of [...]

Elmo has never been one of my favorite characters, his popularity grew quite a bit after Sesame Street stopped appealing to someone of my age at the time. I also got to live through the craziness that was the Christmas of  Tickle Me Elmo during a period in my life where I was extra angsty. [...]

There is a rather large segment of the movie going audience, and even critics, that clamor for a return to the old Sherlock Holmes. They want a new film that portrays this classic literary character in proper fashion. There are those that do not like this big Hollywood take on the character and his story, [...]

The Three Musketeers is a classical story of friendship and honor. It’s been the base of many an adaptation, the story being retold again and again, so that it lives on.

Dark, visceral, and poignant are all words that can be used to describe Scorsese’s impressive catalog of [...]

At one time in my life (teens) I didn’t much like Leonardo DiCaprio. You see, it was cool to dislike him thanks to the overwhelming popularity of Titanic (teenagers are retarded.) It was a preference that I soon had to come to terms with when I fell in love with his roles in two of [...]

As a child I had a few shows that I watched, but I was never much of a fan of The Muppets. As an adult though, I’ve found their occasional appearance and the good hearted and old-time values of the characters endearing. The movie business has not been all that kind to the Muppets, with [...]

I have never been much of a fan of Ben Stiller’s work. I had even at one time complained that the much loved film Bridesmaids (a movie that I didn’t much care for) seemed like it was written for Ben Stiller. The plot focused so much on characters making horrible choices and bumbling their way [...]

I’ve been away for awhile and that means I needed to return to this all in a proper way. That proper way to me would be by punishing myself with my first movie review back. I have always been outspoken about how much I disliked the Twilight series, and yes some fans could say that [...]
