Cast: Bruce Willis Studio: MGM Rating: 6.5/10 Lieutenant Tommy Hart (Colin Farrell) is a second year law student who is enlisted as an officer’s aide in World War II due to his father’s political pull. Hart is out of his element and it shows when he is captured and thrown into a German prisoner of…

Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger Studio: Warner Bros. Rating: 3/10 The last action hero? Well, Arnold was once, like ten years ago. In a number of poor action films, Schwarzenegger hasn’t had the blockbusters like we saw in the ’80’s and the new millennium isn’t turning out that good either. Collateral Damage had been delayed because of…

Cast: Chris Klein Studio: MGM Rating: 2/10 This remake of the 1975 film is just another film that begs the question: what in the hell happened to Hollywood? Chris Klein plays a hotshot star athlete who becomes the new sensation in Rollerball. Can I just ask one question? Would you even watch a real game…

Cast: Nicole Kidman Studio: Miramax Rating: 5/10 Birthday Girl has potential, and like most it really just ends up going someplace, just not anywhere new. Nicole Kidman plays a Russian mail-order bride and I don’t quite understand the casting of Ben Chaplin as the guy who purchases her considering he’s a good looking guy. If…

Cast: Sean Penn Studio: Universal Rating: 5.5/10 I Am Sam proves that just throwing in a handicapped character doesn’t make a film worth viewing. Sean Penn does give a great performance as Sam Dawson, a mentally handicapped man. Sam’s only motive to his menial existence is scraping together money at Starbucks to give money to…

Cast: Cuba Gooding JR Studio: Disney Rating: 3/10 Snow Dogs is a family film and its only goal is being fun for kids. However, it can be quite wishy-washy and saltine-cracker-dry. There could be worse things to complain about. Snow Dogs is about carefree dentist Ted Brooks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) who seems to have it…

Cast: Vincent Cassels Studio: Universal Rating: 3/10 The Brotherhood Of The Wolf is all bark and no bite. The Brotherhood Of The Wolf is a French film that is full of lovely faces like Vincent Cassels and Emilie Dequenne. It has a monster, if you can call it that, as it blurs the line between…

Cast: Will Smith Studio: Columbia Rating: 6/10 Muhammad Ali lived one amazing life. The film Ali finds only a decade of that life worth focusing on, starting when Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, first won a title over Sonny Liston in 1964 until his knockout of George Foreman in Zaire. Although the film lasts…

Cast: Elijah Wood Studio: New Line Rating: 10/10 “One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” For decades, the words above have ignited the imaginations of more than one hundred million readers around the globe. They were first read in…

Cast: Tom Cruise Studio: Paramount Rating: 5/10 Vanilla Sky has a lot going for it. Great actors like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz and a pretty good director in Cameron Crowe. But was this remake better to have just been given the Crouching Tiger treatment and dubbed for English? David Aames (Tom Cruise) appears to…
