Tyler Perry in Star Trek?

Published on: 31st December, 2007

Tyler Perry seems to have carved his own little niche. His films are primarily focused towards the younger black audience, and his odd cross-dressing role as Madea has gathered a lot of fan support somehow. But you have to admit that he has created his own empire; writing, directing, starring and producing his [...]

Juno Review

Published on: 30th December, 2007

In a year where independent film was laden with dramas about war and violence, this film is a refreshing comedy with warmth and endearing characters.  The legendary Roger Ebert (that old softie) recently listed his top films of the year and placed Juno at number one. I’m not sure I can give it that [...]

‘National Treasure’ Leads Through Christmas Week

Published on: 30th December, 2007

I hope everyone enjoyed the packed box office these past two weekends because other than a few scattered sleepers, it’s going to be a long time before anything good comes out.
After a few new entries on Christmas Day, the box office shuffled around before settling down a familiar top five.
Over the busy holiday week, National [...]

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem Review

Published on: 30th December, 2007

Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem isn’t a movie for fans of the original Aliens or Predator series. It isn’t even a movie for fans of the science fiction or horror genres. AvP-R isn’t a movie for fans of good movies. It’s just a really bad movie.
The Strause brothers want to be called [...]

National Treasure 2 Review

Published on: 28th December, 2007

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is an unimaginative rehash of the first National Treasure, substituting Ed Harris in for Sean Bean and the President for the Declaration of Independence. Then throw in Helen Mirren for 62-year-old sex appeal… However, the writers cheated a little, taking the goose chase overseas for a clue rather than keeping [...]

‘Harold and Kumar 2′ Trailer

Published on: 28th December, 2007

Here’s the family friendly trailer for Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
This is about as close as you’re going to get to making fun of 9/11. Terrorism, airplanes, George Bush… Not sure how a story about two stoners suddenly became a social and political satire. But whatever. Rob Corddry is [...]

‘Incredible Hulk’ First Look

Published on: 27th December, 2007

The first official pictures of Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk are making their way around the Internet.
Norton is a smart guy. He’s found a way to star in a superhero movie without really having the work out. He can just show up as his scrawny self and let the computers do all [...]

The Great Debaters Review

Published on: 24th December, 2007

“Debate is bloodsport. Combat. But your weapons are your words.” Based on a true story, the film follows the Melvin Tolson, a professor at Wiley College in 1935, who inspired his African American students to compete at a national level in debate.
The Great Debaters is good, but not great. Denzel [...]
