Ed Helms and company give heartland-comedy refreshing new life with the recent Sundance darling, Cedar Rapids. Helms, the executive producer of the film as well as its main character, is slowly inching his sweet little naïve self into the...
There’s a workinghorse-like mentality to all of Tony Scott’s films. You certainly know what to expect. Always enjoyable and seldom misfiring, his catalog of film is the stuff of legend (from Top Gun to Déjà Vu). Recently though, the machinery of...
Vampire films are as prolific as zits on a teen’s face. While there is something of a buzz the last couple of years about the fanged ones being the ‘it’ subject to mine right now, the truth is they have never really gone away. From Nosferatu into the 21st century...
Before I get too far ahead of myself, let me explain to you why I am even giving this film even one star. It boils down to one actress: Nicky Whelan. You know, the barista from the trailers. The one the two idiots lustfully gawk...

The go-go ‘80s get another loving celluloid tribute with Take Me Home Tonight, a film that succeeds (but just barely), not by poking fun at the decade of leg warmers, big hair, and even bigger cell phones, but rather by embracing...
You know you are dealing with a real “goodfella” when it takes two films to tell your life story. Jacques Mesrine was that type of larger-than-life figure of the criminal scene. Publicity hound or philosopher; both were...
Modern crime capers don’t get much better than Steven Soderbergh’s slick take on Elmore Leonard’s Out of Sight. Always a dazzler with rich material, Soderbergh has a wonderful habit of giving his audiences exactly what they want: style and...
You’re groaning already. I know you are. Deep down inside, there’s a part of your soul that cannot believe there is yet another retelling, respooling, redux, retread deluxe (the KING SIZED) version of Charlotte Brontë’s...
Good grief, Charlie Brown, is this movie ever really awful dinner theatre offerings. Uninspired and generally boring, Red Riding Hood plays out its tale of revenge as if it really were a dish best served cold - with no blood and no heart...
I love L.A. What other city affords such an enjoyable opportunity to make fun of, as it’s being slowly and methodically dismantled, piece-by-piece by an invading alien force? The string of potential jokes...
