Review: Mission: Impossible III

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  May 5, 2006 @ 11:59am

It's rare for a movie with this much advance publicity to live up to the hype, but you have done it.

I have always been a fan of yours. I mean, look at your resume: from Risky Business and Top Gun to Rain Man and Born on the 4th of July. I even know that you were born on the 3rd of July.

Review: RV

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 28, 2006 @ 11:59am

How much did you love those beloved National Lampoon's Vacation films from 1980s? I was a huge fan and yes, I even liked European Vacation.

I think when the filmmakers sat down to make RV they channeled those films, except they forgot one thing. You need a slapstick comedian to pull off all the outrageous stunts and gimmicks.

We all remember that fateful day. The day our safety evaporated with one single solitary image.

I went to this movie expecting to get about 90 minutes of good-natured fun without having to worry about plot-points and hidden messages. RV delivered.

Review: American Dreamz

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 21, 2006 @ 11:59am

Okay, not everyone out there enjoys parody and satire. Some people just can't take a joke. Smart writing in comedies seems to have gone the way of dodo with films like Are We There Yet?, The Benchwarmers, and others having insanely huge opening weekends.

Enter writer-director Paul Weitz, who seems to be a renaissance man when it comes to the modern comedy.

Review: The Sentinel

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 21, 2006 @ 11:59am

How many movies does one guy have to sit through that involve an attempted assassination of a Hollywood-inspired President? There have been so many and nine times out of ten, they are awful.

Review: Silent Hill

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 21, 2006 @ 11:59am

What happens when you have a continuously-screaming heroine, an assortment of grotesque hellbound minions, and enough razor-wire to choke a small country? Well normally it would be a Hellraiser sequel.

Now imagine this if you will.

Interview: Mark Waters, director of the upcoming Spiderwick Chronicles

Posted by: Mark McLeod  •  April 20, 2006 @ 12:00am

The first time I saw a film by director Mark Waters, it was the dreadful Freddie Prinze Jr. model drama, Head Over Heels, his second feature after The House of Yes, which was by Hollywood standards an independent production and one which I have since enjoyed.

Review: Scary Movie 4

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 14, 2006 @ 11:59am

It has been 26 years since 1980's Airplane!, which unleashed a brand of comedy that is still embraced to this day. That film took parody and slapstick to a new level in motion pictures.

Now one of the creative forces behind that landmark film, director David Zucker, returns to silver screen.
