Marmaduke

Roger Longenbach | Jun 06, 2010

Old Yeller this isn't. Which is mildly amusing as Old Yeller is playing on a television in one of the movie's scenes. That's how I would summarize this movie. Mildly amusing. There are a few funny par...

Caddyshack

Stephen Compall | Jun 01, 2010

Shrek Forever After

Edge of Darkness

Stephen Compall | May 05, 2010

In the beginning she appears in one of those sorts of home movies that you know no real parent ever takes of their children. It is the sort of Hollywood home movie that depicts a pure frivolity...

The Blind Side

Eric English | May 05, 2010

Hollywood was literally hit in its "blind side" when the unassuming, rags to riches sports story "The Blind Side" was released in fall of 2009. A powerhouse, Oscar worthy performan...
