YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD ZOMBIE DOWN
Okay, so I know not everyone enjoyed “Land of the Dead.” Many people I’ve come across seemed to despise it. I however enjoyed it even in the light of its plot holes and paper thin story. I enjoy it, I really do. But Big Daddy has nothing on Bub. Moving on, people have claimed they’re [...]

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD: TINY DAGGERS
“Clerks II” is probably Kevin Smith’s best film. I know some will say it’s “Chasing Amy,” but I’ll kindly disagree. Why do I think this film is the one? Easy. It showed a natural maturity of the characters, and it proved that Smith has a good eye for bringing out the best in even the worst of people…

Once upon a time, going to the movies meant going into a single screen cinema. Many of these cinemas were actually a lot more entertaining than the films they screened. Their distinctive architecture and lush interior designs created a breathtaking experience – indeed, they were miniature palaces. Sadly, most of these venues are lost to [...]

IN THEATERS SEPTEMBER 8…The film as a whole is vaguely entertaining but due to the unsympathetic nature of the lead character, it’s hard to emotionally invest in the film beyond that feeling of watching yet another Jerry Springer-friendly family adventure…

THE BEATLES IN THE PICTURES
You can’t just put any band on a film and expect laughs. And chemistry and appeal. And that’s what happened to “Spice World.” The directors and creators behind it seemed to basically assume, “Hell, this band is popular, they’re a pop band, they have massive appeal with the male audience, they make catchy music, and [...]

Cecil B. DeMille’s 1914 Western “The Squaw Man” earned its place in movie history as the first feature film shot in Hollywood. But even without that bit of trivia, it is a fun old antique with plenty of action, nonsense and melodrama to keep today’s audiences interested.
