Life is too Short not to love this Guy: Almost 10 years ago I was reading an entertainment magazine, and they had an article about the most “bankable” actor in Hollywood. What they did was take the actors and add up the total gross off all their movies and that was the king. I can’t remember who was on top, maybe Bruce Willis or Tom Cruise, but I do remember that Bill Paxton was #3. I guess it was because he had a small part in Titanic. Fast forward 10 years, I believe that I have found the actor that might ... » Read more
Immortals-Review
Only two words can be used to describe the movie Immortals: visually-striking and graphically-stimulating. Hmm…I guess we can narrow that down to just one, visually stimulating. That’s it and that’s all. Immortals fell so short of amazing that watching it on mute is probably the best way to experience it. The plot line, or lack thereof, is so convoluted you can barely keep up or even feign interest. And if the lack of a plot line doesn’t get to you, the fact that Immortals is casted similar to 300 and as visually graphic as Sin City will cross your mind ... » Read more
Dreamhouse-Review
Categorizing this movie as a horror film would be quite incorrect.

However, the ghost story still doesn’t make up for ... » Read more
How Pirates of the Caribbean Became a Movie
Article By: Allison Strong The real treasure of the Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t Johnny Depp (although it wouldn’t have been a box office hit in the first place without him) the real gem is how the story came to be. A lot of movies that become big hits were first great novels. The literary fans usually bawk at the watered down version of the story that played out so fully in their mind as they turned the pages of their favorite book. But, since many movie-goers don’t read the book (why should you, they made a movie) the film becomes ... » Read more
The Hangover Part 2: Déjà Vu All Over Again
Memorial Day weekend - a time for honoring our past and current soldiers, family BBQs, and of course, the official beginning of summertime movie blockbusters. It is also my birthday. So, every year my husband takes me to see any movie of my choice (in other words, usually movies without aliens or things blowing up). Last year it was Sex and the City 2. Poor guy. This year I selected a movie that would make us both happy – The Hangover Part 2. Before going, my girlfriend said, “It’s going to be the same as the first one.” My response ... » Read more
