The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I've been dreading this moment. Why? Because it means all the anticipation of seeing the movie is over. The anticipation kept me going for so long - now what? All right, enough about me. I don't have it half as bad as Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), who has his house demolished, finds out his best...

Sin City
Violence? Check. Sexy dames? Check. Gritty dialogue? Check. You're set for take off, Mr. Miller. Based on the collection of graphic novels by comic book veteran Frank Miller, "Sin City" is probably one of the most simultaneously beautiful and violent movies of all time. Using compelling imagery...

Constantine

Million Dollar Baby
While everything about boxing may be backwards as quoted by Morgan Freeman's character in "Million Dollar Baby," the film itself moves forward with the strength and speed of a locomotive. Heralded as the best picture of the year by many a critic and movie-goer, the film definitely deserves a shot at...

Sideways
I've been a lover of wine for a few years now, but this movie totally made me want to be a wine connoisseur. The amount of research that went into the dialogue involving wines must have been tremendous. But it all paid off. Sideways is the story two friends, one a struggling writer and one an actor,...

The Incredibles
Look! Up in the sky - it's bird! No, it's a plane! No it's... no wait, it was a bird after all. But in the theaters, you can see superheroes! Or, as they are called in The Incredibles, "supers." Pixar's sixth film proves itself just as strongly as their first film - Toy Story - did. The story...

I Heart Huckabees
"How am I not myself?" Haven't we all asked this question at one point? Well, I guess not, but if you believe in the interconnectedness of things, if one person asked it, we all did. Does it mean anything? Does anything mean anything? This movie definitely means something. It means a lot of laughs....

Team America: World Police
Satire in it's purest - and most disgusting - form. From the creators of South Park, we've got not animation, not computer animation, not claymation, but... marionettes? That's right! Marionettes a la Thunderbirds (the original series, not the recent live action flick). The world is in peril from...

Saw
Fucking twisted. Excuse the language, but that's what this movie was. I remember seeing the teaser trailer for this movie online and thinking to myself, "Who thought of this???" Now that I've seen the movie, I don't think I really want the answer to that question. Several people I know saw the movie...

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Been a while, huh? Bet you thought I deleted this blog, huh? Maybe you don't care. It's probably the last one. I had been tracking this movie for a good long time, almost a year I think. I read interviews with the producer, learned about the director, and was totally teased by the trailer. The big...
