Published on: 30th June, 2007

It has been almost twenty years since the original Die Hard was released in 1988. It’s been twelve since we all thought the trilogy was over with Die Hard: With a Vengeance.

Sicko Review

Published on: 29th June, 2007

Controversy. Everywhere Michael Moore goes he brings controversy. It follows him like a tornado, gathering speed and stirring up the country into a frenzy of political discussion. And that’s exactly what he wants. I guess you could call this the calm before the storm.
It’s difficult not to get into a debate [...]

The fourth installment in the Die Hard series, Live Free or Die Hard, opened yesterday and made a strong estimated $9 million in it’s first day.

Evan Almighty Review

Published on: 27th June, 2007

Evan Almighty doesn’t work as a family comedy, a religious film, or a good movie. With a shaky premise, even Steve Carell’s comedic timing couldn’t rescue this movie from the flood of bad reviews. And this one will be another droplet in that cascade.
When Jim Carrey jumped overboard on this bad script, Carell [...]

50 Cent Ruins a Good Thing

Published on: 26th June, 2007

50 Cent is brokering a deal to be in the movie Righteous Kill. Seems like a perfect fit for a gangster rap artist, right?
No. Righteous Kill is the movie that will finally pair Robert De Niro and Al Pacino on screen. They were in Heat together, but only in one scene, and [...]
