Now Playing: Eastwood Makes a Bland Bio-pic
There’s no arguing that Clint Eastwood’s films are hit-or-miss. If ‘Letters from Iwo Jima‘ was a hit, ‘J. Edgar’ is a complete miss.

Shame on Adam Sandler, and shame on everyone who makes a cameo in this daft movie. Shame on Regis Philbin, on Tim Meadows, on Nick Swardson, on Katie Holmes, on Drew Carey, on Shaquille O’Neil, on Kobe Bryant, on Norm MacDon...
Full disclosure: I cannot stand Brett Ratner. ‘Red Dragon‘ is the only of his films that I find worthy of re-watching. Even before learning that ‘Tower Heist’ was a Ratner movie, I dreaded it based on that ...
I’m an odd fan of the movies set in the ‘Shrek‘ universe. The way I see it, the original ‘Shrek’ is a mediocre family flick. The best of the series, ‘Shrek 2’ is absolutely hilarious. R...

Why the ‘Paranormal Activity’ franchise has been such a big hit is beyond me. I get why ‘Saw’, ‘Final Destination’ and many of the horror movies of old went on to receive multiple sequels. They ...
If you know anything about ‘The Big Year’, you’ve probably asked yourself, “How can a movie about birding (a.k.a. bird-watching) be entertaining?” Well, it can’t. It’s not. And as you may ...
Some people believe that God occasionally intervenes and tries to stop us from making mistakes. When the projector at my ‘Footloose’ screening broke, causing the show to start 80-something minutes late, I should have t...
John Carpenter’s 1982 ‘The Thing‘ is revered as one of the best horror movies of all time. For those who hold the film with such high esteem, rest assured that the remake (also titled ‘The Thing’) doe...
Have you ever seen a movie that doesn’t know what it’s trying to be? Films with such identity crises are train wrecks. You’d think that the bigger they are, the harder they’d fall, making for fun disasters ...
