  • Dark Shadows

    When I heard that Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows was based on a 1970s horror-based soap opera, that was the film I was expecting it to be.  When the trailer came out, it looked like the film was taking a campy and comedic route, which I’m sure would have excited people who liked Tim Burton’s early work,…

  • 21 Jump Street

    I consider Jonah Hill to be quite a funny actor when he is cast in the right type of movie.  21 Jump Street is not the right type of movie (don’t get me started on co-star Channing Tatum).  You can tell when an action-comedy isn’t really working when you are able to keep a straight face…

  • The A-Team

    I was pretty much a toddler when the original television series was popular, however I still remember watching it.  As you can guess, I don’t really remember anything about the show other than Mr T. As such, I can’t really compare the new film version to the show.  However, I can say that this was…

  • Brüno

    You can say that 2006’s Borat brought guerrilla filmmaking to a new level with Sacha Baron Cohen fooling many unsuspecting Americans to the point that he was sued afterwards. Probably as a result, Brüno keeps it safe and at least half of the film seems to consist of mostly scripted content. However, there are still…

  • Star Trek

    Just when it seemed that the Star Trek movie series was over, along comes this film which successfully reboots the series, while still acknowledging what came before. I can definitely say that I enjoyed seeing the Star Trek universe from a new perspective. This world was quite different from the previous Star Trek experiences, however…
