Some of you may remember a Fox show entitled Firefly which aired in 2000. It was an action adventure, sci-fi sort of show, and it starred a Baldwin. Adam Baldwin to be exact, not of the other, (in)famous Baldwin Family.
Well Adam and the rest of the cast of Firefly have been reunited in the film […]

No more kidding around from George Lucas and company, who have officially laid charges against eight individuals suspected of being involved in the leak of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith the night before it was due to be released. It is estimated that illegally distributed movie was downloaded over 10,000 […]

Oh those Swedes sure do love their national symbols. Thanks to a grant from the Swedish parliament, restoration by the Swedish Film Institute and distribution by Universal Music, North Americans can own their very own DVD copy of this cinematic masterpiece ( I had difficultly typing that, even in pure sarcasm).
And what does the […]

I found it predictable, overly cliched and the Jigsaw puppet frankly just wasn’t that scary. But Saw was still one of the biggest thriller films of last year. The acting was decent (although it tainted my image of Cary Elwes as Wesley in The Princess Bride), the special effects were okay, but it […]

The fear with classical adaptations is that those with strong emotional ties to the book, as well […]

Last night I watched the Oscar winning Documentary “Fog of War” dircted by Errol Morris. It is essentially an expose on the very interesting Robert S. McNamara. Phillip Glass provides the soundtrack, and the film takes a very stirring look at some of the war-time activities of McNamara, and the effects of some of his […]

When I think of television shows that have been shuttled into a big screen venture, I think of Star Trek, Charlie’s Angels, Mission: Impossible, all of the Saturday Night Live skits that have been adapted (and then I smell them…..like this!), Teenage Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo, and The Muppet Show.
Did any of these take top […]

I must’ve been the world’s most oblivious child. A marketer’s nightmare. The kind of child that people who think children are easily and wholy impressionable loathe. I did, however, love to read, and read voraciously. I saw, on television, the British adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia and demanded the books, […]

Think this is an Adam Sandler movie? Not so much.
Adam is the star. No doubt about it. But this movie is only enjoyable because of the rest of the cast. There are so many atheletes in this movie that it is fun to watch just to spot them. There’s Bill Romanowski playing a prison […]
