Film roundup
August 28, 2007
Where is everyone else on this blog? Anyway, I was in Europe and fell far behind on all the movies that have come out. That’s kind of what this over saturated summer makes you feel like with so many back-to-back films lined up in a row. In fact, I’ve only seen four films since I [...]
License to Wed review/my take on the film’s sexual undertones
July 9, 2007
First of all, my apologies that I’m not posting these reviews as I see them right away. I also felt the need to see the movie twice to really get a firm grasp on it, because I know they lose relevance, the longer you wait. On to the review:
License to Wed (2007): 2 1/2 StarsDirected [...]
1408 Review
July 3, 2007
1408: 1 1/2 starsDirected by Mikael Hafstrom, Starring John Cusack, Mary McCormack and Samuel L Jackson
The premise established in an introduction that doesn’t even try to hide the film’s silliness is that a skeptical writer of ghost stories (John Cusack in a role that’s miscast on the grounds that it resembles his persona in “Midnight [...]
Evan Almighty review

A new AFI list?
June 20, 2007
This Wednesday, the AFI announced their 2nd edition of their famed Top 100 movies list and I am reminded of how monumental the release of the original AFI 100 Years.…100 Movies list was for me, because it led to my desire to be a film critic.
Back in 1998, when I heard a list was being [...]

May 27, 2007
Hi, I’m one of the movie writers for D.C. Scene and I’m sorry I’m a little late in contributing to this blog. Then again it is memorial day weekend when the summer usually begins:
Five years ago, Spiderman burst into movie theaters across the country an unprecedented three weekends before Memorial day. Boasting a head start [...]
