ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN Release: Dec 80 - Review: 14 MAy 08 Any Which Way is a "Right turn, Clyde!" There’s nothing deep here; crack a beer, strip down to your wife-beater and just enjoy it. TOP
DRACULA Release: Feb 1931 - Review: 8 May 08 Evil's Fruity Face. Dracula is a mediocre 1931 movie, but the concept of the undead, blood-craving supernatural demon is so mythically instilled in the planet’s – ahem - bloodstream... TOP
RED PLANET Release: Nov 00 - Review: 5 May 08
Blue-Skying Salmon Sky. Smart-mouthing their way to Mars like glibness is fueling their ship, one of them says, “The hope and survival of mankind rests on us.” Gee, I hope not. TOP
THE FOUNTAIN Release: Nov 06 - Review: 1 May 08 Doubtin' The Fountain.
Raving beauty, rabid camera angling and startlingly somber performances almost save this movie from its own convoluted and ambitious storyline. TOP
KING KONG 1976 Release:
Dec 76 - Review: 1 May 08
Ape-tastrophe! ... a guy in an ape suit walking around like a guy in an ape suit... TOP
STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME Release: Nov 96 - Review: 30 Apr 08 Camping in a Row of Future Tense. I could say this movie was “a whale of a time” but it wasn’t really. Starting with a promising premise, as the story unfolded, it quickly lost its porpoise. TOP
BREACH Release: Feb 07 - Review: 29 Apr 08
Scapegoat for a far more evil government. George W. Bush’s and Dick Cheney’s Amerika offers absolutely zero moral high ground to crow about OTHER people selling secrets to enemies. TOP
ALIENS Release: Jul 86 - Review: 28 Apr 08
The Warrior/Goddess Dichotomy and the Eternal Feminine. Cameron creates a script that bluntly screams “More is Better” – more aliens, more victims, more explosions and incredible amounts of more mucus. TOP
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Release: Nov 07 - Review: 27 Apr 08
New Killer. Old Hairstyle. The plot is almost secondary to the exceptional manner in which the story is told through movie MAKING; through the “art” of making the movie... TOP

Reviews in Progress: You can click on the pics to see the unfinished/rough writings that are surfing their way to their spot on this website even as you ogle them...don't expect them to be readable, or even to make any sense - they're just scribblings. Some are so unfinished they're not even posted here... d'oh! But you can see their pretty posters... ah, promises, promises.... hope was the greatest evil in Pandora's Jar....
