If you are part of the majority of guys out there who have found the perfect woman, but she just doesn’t know you’re alive, you need the services of Hitch. And we’re not just talking about Will Smith’s character in the movie. It’s the whole cast, especially Kevin James and Will Smith, who make this… Continue reading Movie Review: No rub, just the Hitch

Movie Review: Don’t listen to The Chorus of hype
In the past few years, the North American market has worked up quite the appetite for foreign language films. Many of these, with their critical and commercial success, received prestigious film awards. Roberto Benigni’s Life Is Beautiful won the Oscar for Best Actor, a first ever for a non-English speaking role. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,… Continue reading Movie Review: Don’t listen to The Chorus of hype
Zatoichi does not disappoint

There are more than a few ways to make a samurai movie. Given the range of ways a man can be dismembered alone, the diversity of executions and choreographed swordplay is boggling. And yet, in many ways, they remain largely the same movie–good finally triumphs over evil, as katana meets juicy, graphic flesh. Thankfully, it… Continue reading Zatoichi does not disappoint
Hail to the King, baby
What a drag getting old is. Mick Jagger said it almost 40 years ago, and though the fates have been kinder to him than most, there’s a dread that comes with aging. Spending a life alone save for a few awkward medical treatments, never visited by the grown children who are simply too busy to… Continue reading Hail to the King, baby
Sex, drugs and horror
By Chris Tait
If you had super powers, what power would you want to have? Would you want to fly, looking down the shirts of thousands of women? Would you want to be invisible to sneak into the women’s locker rooms? How about being able to give an orgasm to anyone with a simple touch of your finger… Continue reading Sex, drugs and horror
We’re with stupid
We aren’t the brightest sack of hammers in the bunch. In fact, we’re not even clever enough to understand what stupidity is.

It’s a documentary that manages to be informative and thoughtful while… Continue reading We’re with stupid
Bows, arrows and Paul Walker
By Alan Cho
The 21st century is in dire need of a new action hero. The warhorses of the genre have either moved on to the greener pastures of politics or found themselves left in the glue factory that is direct-to-video. Who out there will teach these children the art of driving recklessly at questionable speeds or the… Continue reading Bows, arrows and Paul Walker
Master found dead in the water
By Rob Scherf
After the staggering success of last summer’s Pirates of the Caribbean, it seemed almost inevitable that we would see a glut of seafaring copycat blockbusters on the cinematic horizon. Sure enough, a scant four months after the release of Pirates of the Caribbean, Miramax has unleashed Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,… Continue reading Master found dead in the water
Santa vs. the Snowman
Hot chocolate squirt guns, an army of snowmen and mistletoe missiles are probably not the first things that come to mind when one thinks of a heart-warming Christmas tale. And yet, Santa vs. the Snowman manages to transcend the traditional cute family film genre by incorporating more mature, entertaining material and radiant imagery.Santa vs. the… Continue reading Santa vs. the Snowman
Hugh Grant? Romance? Whaa?
By Rob Scherf
After writing Four Weddings and a Funeral, Black Adder, Mr. Bean and Bridget Jones’ Diary, acid-penned Brit auteur Richard Curtis would seemingly have nowhere left to go. After all, yet another romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant (this would make four in a row) might wear a little thin on some members of the audience. But… Continue reading Hugh Grant? Romance? Whaa?
