Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006) */***

When I first heard that famed crap-monger Jerry Bruckheimer was producing a film based on a theme ride at Disney World my head almost exploded at the monumental absurdity of the idea. Couple this with the fact that it was to be…

Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) */***

Going into Mr. And Mrs. Smith, it is important to know that the film is unintelligent and completely implausible. If you’re not going to be able to get past that, don’t go. If you’re going to go into the movie, detect plot holes, announce them to everyone around you…

Superman Returns (2006) */***

For me, Superman Returns is like the bi-polar art school girl that you can’t help but go out with even though you know there’s going to be complications later. While the film is visually stunning, and fully realized when it comes to casting, production design, and…

The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) /***

Director Jay Chandrasekhar is best known for his work making Super Troopers and Club Dread with his fellow comedy troupe members of Broken Lizard. I’ve been told by several people with decent taste that these two movies are funny. However, these people don’t have…

Clerks II (2006) /***

A lot of people were surprised when it was announced that Kevin Smith would be making a sequel to his cult turned mainstream 1994 indy-icon film Clerks. Previously he had announced that 2001s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was going to be the last foray into his much vaunted…

Fantastic Four (2005) */*****

Every once in a while a movie comes along that far surpasses your expectations. Whether you chalk it up to some sort of spontaneous creative synergy, a bulletproof script making lesser talents look good, great acting lifting mediocre material, particularly inspired directing…

The Departed (2006) /*

Just when I thought Martin Scorsese was completely washed up he goes and makes a pretty kickass crime movie. Typically I’m pretty bored with crime dramas, as they’re the same thing overandover what with the stock tough guy characters, the scintillating moral ambiguity, and…

Batman Begins (2005) /*

The most important thing to know about director Christopher Nolan’s newest effort Batman Begins is that it is totally badass. Down the line from story, to character development, to camera work, to acting, Batman Begins delivers in a way that none of the previous…

Marie Antoinette (2006) */***

I went into Sofia Coppola’s latest having heard nothing but bad things. Famously, it was supposedly booed by some Frenchies during it’s premiere at Cannes, and I hadn’t really heard any positive voices caring to come to the film’s defense. Regardless, I’ve liked…

Employee of the Month (2006) */*****

Punch. Punch. Punch. Punch. That’s what I want to do to the guy who made this terrible movie. I’m not going to spend much time talking about this one, because writer/director Greg Coolidge obviously didn’t spend much time putting it together. Bottom line, this…
