Director: Jon Avnet
Cast: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, 50 Cent, Carla Gugino, John Leguizamo

A great cast does not, unfortunately, equal a great movie. This movie’s cast is just not good enough to carry the heavy load of such a mediocre screenplay and weak directing. Even the greatest like De Niro and Pacino, who portray aging detectives, one of whom has turned into a vigilante after years of disappointments, are not… Read More

Directors: Josh Gordon, Will Speck
Cast: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jenna Fischer

When isn’t there a good time to See Will Ferrell? How about Will Arnett? NEVER! Add into the mix Amy Poehler, and Jon Heder and you have a movie to watch. This is the story of Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy, two rival figure skaters who take their rivalry too far and are thus banned… Read More

Director: Danny Cannon
Cast: Leonardo Guerra, Tony Plana, Miriam Colon, Kuno Becker, Jorge Cervera

While the movie refers to it as football, what they really mean is soccer. Just my own little American side note. Anyway, feel good sports movies are usually cute and heartwarming and everything, but they are largely unoriginal. These movies can either go one of two ways. Underprivileged kid gets a chance at becoming a big time sports… Read More

Director: Andrew Stanton
Cast: Ben Burtt, Fred Willard, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy, Sigourney Weaver

Any movie about robots is a movie for me. And if that movie happens to be the illegitimate child of Pixar…well then you’re just right up my alley. Anyway, WALL•E reminds me faintly of ET only in robot form because he has that whole alien puppy dog eyes thing going for him. Voiced by Ben Burtt, our visibly… Read More

Director: Sam Raimi
Cast: Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Cliff Robertson, Rosemary Harris

In the past several years, so many comic books and series have been turned into movies, and most of them to my dismay. This is not one of them. Maybe Sam Raimi should do all of them in the future. Tobey Maguire could not have been more perfectly cast as the extremely humble Peter Parker, who… Read More

Directors: Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava (co-director)
Cast: Patton Oswalt, Ian Holm, Lou Romano, Brian Dennehy, Peter Sohn, Peter O’Toole

Linguini is a young man who desperately wants to be a chef but can’t cook to save his life much less be accepted as anything other than a garbage boy. Remy is a rat who can cook but really can’t because, well, he is a rat.
Remy has been cast out of… Read More

Directors:Pete Docter, David Silverman (co-director)
Cast: John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Mary Gibbs, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, Jennifer Tilly

Monsters Inc was a seriously hilarious movie that took what’s a normally scary topic for little kids, and turned it into something fun. The idea of a monster hiding under your bed or in your closet just to have the opportunity to scare the bejeezus out of you, has been the major plotline of… Read More

Director: Karyn Kusama
Cast: Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, Adam Brody, Ryan Levine

Watch this movie. For the videography, for the bizarre new language that teenagers seem to be speaking these days, for the effects, and for the social commentary. This film has it all. Suspense, thrills, and yes, even humor.
Jennifer, played by the ridiculously gorgeous Megan Fox, is an extremely popular, extremely cruel high school girl. Because of… Read More
