*Note: This is a review of one of my favorite movies.

Jumper |
GRADE : D+
Talk about disappointing. Director Doug Liman exuded style and cool in Swingers, Go and The Bourne Identity. He lost his way in the star bloat of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and now his mojo is bu... Posted by on Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:03:00 GMT |
The Spiderwick Chronicles |
GRADE : B
"The Spiderwick Chronicles" is a terrific entertainment for the whole family, except those below a certain age, who are likely to be scared out of their wits. What is that age? I dunno; they... Posted by on Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:26:00 GMT |

Cloverfield |
GRADE : B-
Godzilla meets the Queasy-Cam in "Cloverfield," a movie that crosses the Monster Attacks Manhattan formula with "Blair Witch." No, Godzilla doesn't appear in person, but the movie's monster... Posted by on Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:15:00 GMT |
Into The Wild |
GRADE : A
For those who have read Thoreau's Walden, there comes a time, maybe only lasting a few hours or a day, when the notion of living alone in a tiny cabin beside a pond and planting some beans s... Posted by on Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:04:00 GMT |
