An absolutely phenomenal movie. A breath-taking, story so epic that it’s been told many times before – but never this well. It’s the epic-sized version of Up! The obvious story comparisons are Pocahontas (colors of the wind and savages) and Dances With Wolves (haven’t seen it, I’ve just read the Wikipedia summation), [...]

A very enjoyable movie.  Lots of star power: Sean Bean as Zeus, Catherine Keener as Percy’s mom, Steve Coogan as Hades, Pierce Brosnan as the centaur Chiron, Uma Thurman as Medusa, and Joe Pantolioni as Percy’s drunken slob of a stepfather.
I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know how it compares.  I was initially [...]

Yay Seth MacFarlane as Ziggy the black market Tooth Fairy!
The song Randy keeps practicing on his guitar is “Sunshine Of Your Love” and has been recorded by numerous artists (including Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton – whom Randy mentions while talking about being a great guitarist).
Yay Julie Andrews!  She’s so adorable when she gets to [...]

Absolutely wonderful! I mean I already knew I would love it just for the talent (Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Strong!), but it turned out to be 100 times better than I could have possibly imagined.
I may boycott movie theatres except for big, BIG, releases (thank God there’s only [...]

Phenomenal! So much fun! The music, the casting, the performances…my God it’s beautiful! The new songs that original composer Maury Yeston wrote specifically for the adaptation perfectly complement his original tunes as well as uniquely honing Rob Marshall’s vision for exploring the pre-pubescent mind of 50 year old film director Guido Contini.

YES! That’s what sums up this movie at the end of the day for me – it was such a wonderful experience to watch that I can barely express it! I mean it’s New Orleans jazz! It’s Goliath the Gargoyle singing, dancing and casting voodoo spells! It’s got Jim Cummings as [...]

The Devil Wears Prada + US vs. UK + celebrity “journalism” instead of fashion “journalism” + Simon Pegg being an oblivious ass.  Absolutely delighful.  I would call it a romantic comedy in the same bawdy fashion of Wedding Crashers. 
I was suspicious of Jeff Bridges character (much in the same way I was suspicious of Mel [...]

Whee!
I love the Yeti designs.
Scorpion King of the Far East, but still enjoyable….
I just can’t understand Rob Cohen…he doesn’t know when a franchise has stalled out (creatively) and keeps making movies with lots of explosions and violence regardless of which cast members want to come back, but then he writes the lyrics to the movie’s [...]

This film is staggeringly epic in it’s darkness and execution. Heath Ledger’s performance is incredible, but not in my mind Oscar-worthy (but the Academy doesn’t listen to me so we’ll just let Marissa Tomei win again ;] ).
I love that the movie opens with the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) because it maintains the new Batman [...]

Quite an enjoyable film. I have to admit I was originally a little irked when I saw that the film highlighted fantastical elements (á la director Guillermo del Toro’s epic masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth), but Hellboy creator Mike Mingola as del Toro’s wingman, I can’t remain irked…nor can I complain about the results! Ron [...]
