THE GUARDIAN
|
  Year Released: 2006 MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 127 minutes |
IN THEATERS…“The Guardian” is pretty to look at, and Kutcher and his similarly buff classmates (plus a few token females) spend an appreciable amount of time soaking wet, if that’s your thing…

DIRT NAP
|
  Year Released: 2005 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 95 minutes |
SAN DIEGO FILM FESTIVAL 2006 REVIEW! All philosophical musing and quality acting aside, though, this is a guy’s film. Debates about music and sports, copious cigar smoking, beer drinking and countless piss-breaks all add up to an experience so loaded with testosterone everyone leaves the theater with a deeper voice.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. IS “IRON MAN”
Hmmm….a very rich man is haunted by demons, becomes an alcoholic and goes out and does crazy things. Are we talking about Robert Downey Jr. or the man inside the “Iron Man” costume, Tony Stark? Turns out we’re talking about both as Downey has been chosen for the title role in Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man” [...]

SAN DIEGO FILM FESTIVAL 2006 REVIEW! There’s that one great thing about indies (amongst many others), and it’s that many times you never know exactly what you’re going to get.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD: NOAH’S BARK
I’m one of five people who has not read Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code.” I haven’t seen the movie, either. Tom Hanks with long, greasy hair is about as appealing as Cuba Gooding, Jr. playing a mentally disabled man riding around in a shopping cart. It’s unpleasant business I want no part of…
