Review: Guy Ritchie's Revolver
Posted by: Dean Kish • January 26, 2006 @ 11:59am
As far as I know, this film may never see the light of day in North America. That could be a blessing.
Guy Ritchie burst on the scene as the director of Snatch, which was such a great little film which practically redefined the whole "Euro-gangster" film genre.
Review: Underworld

Beneath our city streets and deep within our darkest sewers, a masquerade lives on. This masquerade must not be revealed to human eyes as a blood-thirsty war brews on.

Our top 10 films of 2005

The year of 2005 was considered a huge disappointment for the movie industry. The box office receipts fell for the first time in ages, and while studio mouthpieces may have you believe it was because of rampant downloading or the rise in DVD sales, the fact remains that in 2005, the movies just weren't as good.
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

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: BloodRayne

Yes, that's right, I am going to review the infamous film from director Uwe Boll.
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".
