(Marco Chacon) 07/26/2009 6:30 PM EDT The title comes from the story. There are two high school buddies: one an uptight virgin who badly preaches, on abstinence and is celibate with his lovely, Raquel Alessi, girlfriend -- the other dumb-and-dumber. When the "good" or maybe just "average" buddy is about to have sex for the first time, he falls down the s... Read More |
 
(Roger Longenbach) 07/25/2009 10:34 AM EDT Disney has decided that 3-D is the future of motion pictures at your local cinema, and with the exception of the "extra fee for 3-D", they may be right. While the current version of 3-D technology (instead of the red/blue 3-D from the 1950s) got kickstarted by the short films in the Disney theme parks (such as Captain EO, Honey I Shr... Read More |
(Marco Chacon) 07/23/2009 11:39 AM EDT If there was a single disc I would buy someone who just got a Blu-Ray player, 300 is definitely near the top of the list. Although almost any movie will look great on Blu-Ray - very few would suffer as much comparatively on DVD. The reason for this is that the movie is about the great historical battle at Thermopylae where a tiny force ... Read More |
 
(Nathan M Rose) 07/21/2009 7:03 PM EDT The surreal, Pushing Daisies, is back with the full Season 2 on DVD this July -- with new laughs to enjoy. This forensic fairytale follows Ned, a young man with a very special gift. As a boy, Ned discovered that he could return the dead briefly back to life with just one touch. Now a pie maker, Ned puts his ability to good use, no... Read More |
 
(Marco Chacon) 07/16/2009 3:28 PM EDT Anthony Hopkins plays a brilliant psychopath who coldly murders his cheating wife. He then has to face off against Ryan Gosling, a go-getter prosecutor, who is about to make the leap to the big-leagues in a private firm and decides to take the last case (Hopkins') because it looks like a slam dunk! After all, they have the... Read More |
(Roger Longenbach) 07/16/2009 8:56 AM EDT I don't know if it's just my luck, or just the quality of movies this summer, but this movie is another hard one to judge. If you're a fan of the books, or have followed the previous 5 movies and want to continue the story, you're going to see this movie even if I tell you to not waste your time. So, let's get down to business to see what I th... Read More |
(Marco Chacon) 07/09/2009 2:21 PM EDT "It is easy to shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France. But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They (the critics) review me before they have even seen the movie."-- Michael BayThe real question is, "What was Michael Bay thinking"? Did he sincerely believe tha... Read More |

(Roger Longenbach) 06/25/2009 9:23 AM EDT This is one of the hard movies to review, because I could give this movie an F and if you are a fan of the first movie, you're probably going to go see it in the theater anyway. While I did enjoy the movie, from a overall movie perspective the movie doesn't quite cut it. Set two years after the events of the first movie, we see Sam Witwic... Read More |
(Marco Chacon) 06/22/2009 7:04 PM EDT The Hangover fits into a category that is somewhat fuzzy and defined as "guy movies". That is, there are few women, there is a lot of male-bonding, and there are wacky, usually R-rated hijinks (well, X-Rated, but what you see in the movie will be R). Also, usually in these movies, the main characters behave stupidly -- or at least hormona... Read More |
(Nathan M Rose) 06/22/2009 10:07 AM EDT On January 23, 2009, a movie called Inkheart which was based on the top-selling novel by Cornelia Funke burst its way onto unsuspecting audiences and now comes to Warner Bros Blu-ray this June.Mo Folchart (Fraiser) drags his daughter Meggie (Bennet) all around the world. At the last home, an old enigmatic acquaintance of Mo's named Dustfinger... Read More |
