by Zach Becker With a dearth of creativity, Hollywood seems to be angling for movie ideas wherever it can get them. Bobbing through the studio franchise vault, Dune Entertainment and director Joe Carnahan wrangled in a winner with The A-Team. I’ll admit, I had my doubts before I entered the theater. Whose idea was it […]

by Zach Becker I read a blog post written by one of my relatives, Nels Lindahl, in which he rated his favorite Star Trek iterations, including both television and movies. As a Trekkie myself, I was surprised by his rankings of the various Star Trek endeavors, specifically how low DS9 and First Contact rated on […]

My Sister’s Keeper gets a rating of 2/10 stars.

by Mike Courson Marley & Me could have been junk. Most of us have lost a pet at some point in our lives. Why did John Grogan’s book experience so much success, and did they really have to make it into a movie just because the book made money? I was skeptical about the book, […]

Review by Zach Becker Who would have thought that a screen adaptation of a television series over four decades old would feel this fresh, new and exciting? Director J.J. Abram’s simply-titled Star Trek takes us back to the 23rd century, the days of Kirk, Spock, Bones and the rest of the crew of Gene Roddenberry’s […]

Review by Zach Becker Paul Blart: Mall Cop is a film at odds with itself. It almost seems as if they wrote part of an offbeat romance comedy, then decided they’d rather make a comedic version of Die Hard. The first part works, but the second half just falls flat. The first half of the […]

It is, however, one exciting ride and well worth the price of admission. While […]

Jessica Lynn Green Contributor Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) – This prequel to Underworld and Underworld: Evolution has more action-packed goodness, but is set in medieval history instead of contemporary times. A few scenes could have used some work, such as Sonya’s execution, but overall… Hooray for more vampire and lycanthrope action! Baby Mama […]

by Jessica Lynn Green Click (2006) – This Adam Sandler flick didn’t leave much to be desired—there was the usual brand of comedy. Some pretty teary drama consumes the movie for a while near the end, but it only made the movie more worth watching. Ladykillers (2004) – This awesome comeback for Tom Hanks really […]

Jessica Lynn Green and Jay Yerxa Contributors Jumper (2008) Adventure movie about a guy who can teleport. I found this movie intriguing because it was edgy and brought back that old feeling that there might be a good Hollywood remaining, after all. This movie is pretty satisfying to watch. J.G. Labyrinth (1986) Fantasy movie starring […]
