GARDEN STATE is one of those debut films that gets all the right press. Zach Braff’s little indie dramedy has been getting all of the appropriate buzz at film festivals and in all the independent film rags…

I told myself that there was no way in hell I was missing this one. Ever since I first had heard of an Alien / Predator crossover in the comics over a decade ago, I swore to myself that I would see a movie version if it were to ever come out. And so opening weekend, I wasn’t missing ALIEN VS. PREDATOR…

It was not my choice to see THE VILLAGE this weekend. Personally, I was far more excited about the comedy HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE (It was apparently a big weekend for East Indians in Hollywood,) but I was outvoted…

While watching SAVED!, I couldn’t help but be reminded of an incident from over a decade ago. I was a freshman in College, and was putting around the streets of downtown Atlanta in between classes. I ran into a girl I went to high school with, who had a friend in tow…

I’ve heard a lot of critics giving NAPOLEON DYNAMITE a hard time, but those people need to lighten up. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is a good movie. It’s a good movie for many reasons, but the main reason why the film rules so much is because it takes place in Idaho…

I’ve decided something, after many years of dissention on the issue: It’s not that Will Ferrell isn’t funny, it’s that Will Ferrell wasn’t funny on Saturday Night Live. I’ve never really been a big fan of Will’s, as I’ve mentioned many times here before. But since his departure from Lorne Michaels’ long-unfunny sinking ship, Ferrell has been showing that he can can carry movies better than I would have ever suspected from watching his SNL days…

I saw the movie on a Saturday night, and here I am doing a review in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Rough week. I’m sipping ouzo and listening to Dr. Demento. Screw summation. I’m going to relay what I was thinking, in the order that I thunk it…

I wish I wasn’t having to write this review. I mean, it’s going to be a pretty fun review to write, but I sure wish I didn’t have to write it. Because having to write this review means that I had to sit through THE STEPFORD WIVES, 93 of the most painful minutes I’ve had to endure in a movie theater in my life…

The Joes and Cobras finally get their chance to duke it out on the big screen, and it doesn’t happen in a movie endorsed by Hasbro. Rather, it happens on a dodgeball court, in a little inside joke that it took me way too long to get…
