Cast: Tim Robbins Studio: Sony Rating: 6/10 A movie topic taken from not-so-recent headlines, Arlington Road addresses American terrorism and the suspicion an average citizen develops as a result. In a post-Columbine atmosphere, we’ve become increasingly paranoid about what might be going on in the house across the street. Arlington Road asks, “What if an […]

Cast: Al Pacino Studio: Warner Bros. Rating: 3.5/10 First, I have to get this off my chest. Oliver Stone is the most pompous director I’ve ever seen. He takes a movie with no plot, no substance, and no character depth and takes us on this boring ride for two and a half hours. And it […]

Cast: Mike Myers Studio: New Line Cinema Rating: 7/10 Austin Powers (Mike Myers), hipster secret agent and saver-of-the-world, has returned, baby. He’s still sporting the mushroom-shaped chest hair and yellow teeth, yet his legendary mojo, his shagability, entrances gorgeous CIA agent Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham). The sequel to the original Powers film starts where the […]

Cast: Julia Styles Studio: MGM Rating: 5/10 Welcome to the lives of the Stratford sisters, Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) and Kat (Julia Stiles). Bianca is the popular, pretty, and desperate to date younger sister, while Kat is opinionated, ill tempered, and doesn’t want to date anyone from her side of the country. Their father, Walter (Larry […]

Cast: Marlon Wayans Studio: Dimension Rating: 4/10 The Wayans brothers (Shawn and Marlon) are at it again, this time pushing the envelope with raunchy language and crass jokes in their latest film endeavor, Scary Movie. Written and directed by big brother Keenan Ivory Wayans, Scary Movie is tailored mostly in part to the recent horror […]

Cast: Animated Studio: Paramount Rating: 7/10 A mind boggling, non-stop tornado of profanity, South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut goes places few films would ever dare. The barrage of obscenities is so unrelenting that I think I need to see it again; some of them are worth remembering. It is epic naughtiness and very funny, […]

Cast: Kevin Bacon Studio: Artisan Rating: 6/10 Stir Of Echoes revolves around Tom Witzky (Kevin Bacon), your average husband and father, whose life is turned upside down after being hypnotized at a party. When Lisa (Illeana Douglas), Tom’s sister-in-law, leaves a posthypnotic suggestion, it releases a subconscious power that Tom didn’t know he possessed. Tom’s […]

Cast: Ben Affleck Studio: Dimension Rating: 5/10 I didn’t expect anything from Reindeer Games and that’s just about what it delivered. It’s smooshed into just over an hour and a half and has more plot twists than Scream, so I don’t think you’ll be surprised to find that the film was written by Ehren Kruger […]

Cast: Franky Potente Studio: Sony Rating: 9/10 If the world were a just and civilized place, Run Lola Run would be the top grossing movie of the summer, and The Phantom Menace would languish in obscurity, lucky to recoup it’s advertising budget. Reality is a different place, however. Summer releases include the likes of the […]

Cast: Bill Murray Studio: Touchstone Rating: 6/10 What happens when a fifteen-year-old and a married man fall in love with a widowed grade school teacher? Rushmore. Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) plays a barber’s son who gets into a prestigious school, Rushmore, because of a one-man play he wrote. Max is revered and admired by many […]
