Will Ferrell seems to be an actor whose comedy excels when it’s dirtier, he seems more at home in an R rated environment. Anchorman is the clear exception to this rule as it was PG-13 and still rocked, but movies like Talladega Nights and Kicking and Screaming would probably have been a whole lot better...

There’s a checklist that you can rundown for many directors, little indicators that let you know the movie is probably headed in the right direction. Tim Burton has his, from casting familiar actors with Johnny Depp and wife Helen Bonham Carter to having the main character be somewhat troubled and dark...

Charlie Wilson, a United States congressman, is someone with an incredible life story. It’s safe to say he isn’t your typical guy, I mean not everyone can covertly bring down the Soviet Union. His story, billed as ‘outrageous’, is now represented in the new Mike Nichols film, Charlie Wilson’s War...

It’s no secret that spoof movies have been dead for several years now. The genre may never have fully taken off, but what qualifies as ‘spoof’ these days is a far cry from flicks like Airplane.

After watching it the first time it was clear right way that I wouldn’t be watching it anytime soon again, but it is one of those movies that has its place. It can be on in the background somewhere and your able to glance over once and a while to get your dose...

I love the idea of pitting two cinematic icons on screen together. When news first broke that De Niro and Pacino would be squaring off in Heat it nearly blew my mind. While these next two actors may not be De Niro or Pacino they’re definitely icons in their own right. The Forbidden Kingdom will have Jet Li going toe to toe...

Don't you just hate seeing unnecessary special edition DVDs getting released, I mean the format has been around long enough for crap like this to stop. Case and point – the upcoming DVD release of Into the Wild. I thought the film was pretty decent, I would have liked it to be...

The first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army is now online, and I got to say that I’m pretty blown away. This looks like it’s going to be much better than the first Hellboy flick. It kind of makes me want to go back and re-watch the first one. In related Hellboy II news the...
