Review: Hoodwinked

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 13, 2006 @ 11:59am

Okay, you know that CGI-animation has taken over when the first indie-CGI animated film debuts. That's right, an indie film that is in CGI. Makes sense, right? Didn't think so.

Hoodwinked is the first computer-animated feature to be released theatrically without a studio backer. Since it's an indie, you would probably expect it to be sassier, ruder, quick-witted, and well...

Review: Tristan & Isolde

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 13, 2006 @ 11:59am

I have to admit it. I never thought that I would see a year where January produced some entertaining movies. Now after seeing Glory Road, Tristan and Isolde proves once more that a new kind of January might be making its way into theatres.

January is traditionally the dumping ground for studio embarrassments and the tradition has been going on for more than 15 years.

Review: Glory Road

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 13, 2006 @ 11:59am

Probably one of the greatest â€" or maybe the greatest â€" sports films of all time was the legendary basketball film Hoosiers from 1986. Nothing has been able to touch that film, and time after time it still shares its magic with movie-lovers.

Review: Bandidas

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  November 30, 2005 @ 11:59am

Surprisingly, Bandidas is a cute little western that pays homage to the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s.

Bandidas stars Salma Hayek, as Maria, a rich Mexican socialite and Penelope Cruz as Sara, a desperate farmer's daughter. Maria and Sara are brought together in turn of the century Mexico when a ruthless overseer (Dwight Yoakum) begins terrorizing their small town.

Review: The Matador

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  December 30, 2005 @ 11:59am

Who needs 007? The Golden Globe-nominated Pierce Brosnan is perfect as the conflicted hitman Julian Noble in The Matador, written and directed by Richard Shepard. Greg Kinnear is Danny Wright, the conflicted businessman, and Hope Davis is "Bean", Danny's wife.

Julian and Danny meet at a bar in Mexico City. In time, Julian explains his profession as a "facilitator of fatalities".

Review: Match Point

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  December 28, 2005 @ 11:59am

In recent years, eccentric and highly-praised director Woody Allen has been mainly focused on the lighter side of comedy. Well, for the most part.

Last year, we saw him start to drift back to more serious and examining fair with Melinda and Melinda, which was a detailed look at a woman's life through two different lenses, comedy and tragedy.

This could be the worst Jennifer Aniston movie ever!

Why? Well, let me get to that.

First off, what's it about?

Review: Munich

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  December 23, 2005 @ 11:59am

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Is it all worth it?

Vengeance is a dirty business. It is the kind of thing we all contemplate, from the smallest gut reaction to the eventual harming of another human being. Yes, it is probably true that in some circumstances it is justified, but at what price?

Review: Fun with Dick and Jane

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  December 21, 2005 @ 11:59am

After witnessing many of the trailers and advertising campaigns for Fun With Dick and Jane, I was quite worried that this film would be another disastrous comedy. Well, I was pleasantly surprised.

Jim Carrey stars as Dick Harper, a sleek up-and-coming executive who has been dreaming about that all-important promotion.
