Although I enjoyed seeing the new Star Trek movie, I have to say that the writers really dropped the ball with the script and some of the characterizations. The story was quite poor and not very interesting at all, and it seemed as if the story was written around …

My daughter loves Hannah Montana (even though she rarely watches the show) so we ended up renting Hannah Montana: The Movie for her. Turns out she barely even sat through the beginning but at least my wife and I ended up loving it.
I actually kind of like the show …

The only thing Brendan was known …

If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …

In 1958, Clark Gable and Doris Day starred in Teacher’s Pet. Now, I adore Teacher’s Pet, and Gable and Day are wonderful, together and individually. Still, it’s another time when I go, ‘Huh?’ at the casting. Gable was 20 years Day’s senior. In a way, it …

The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …

I honestly expected more from the creator of Parnormal Activity Oren Peli.

“The Lake House” …
