That Poms is bad is something I could have written without having seen the movie. Star Diane Keaton hasn’t made a movie actually worth sitting through in more than 30 years—it was unlikely that dressi...

I am the last person I expected to be a huge of a biopic of The Hobbit creator J.R.R Tolkien, but here we are. As the mystical magic of the movies settled over me in a theater in Davenport, Iowa, I fo...

Bedtime Story is a relatively forgotten part of Marlon Brando’s filmography. It’s certainly a departure from the Brando of lore, the temperamental method actor, desperately serious about his craft in his early years, and debauched, and disengaged in his later years. Bedtime Story is Marlon Brando with a light comic touch, and it suits him nearly as well as his leather jackets of the 50s, and his Godfather personae of the 70s. 1964s Bedtime Story is the progenitor of both 1988s Dirty Rotten Scoun...

The latest entry in the 2000s Movie Project is Pitch Black starring Vin Diesel and Radha Mitchell. This movie gave Diesel the cult movie cred to match the blockbuster cred he earned from Fast and the Furious. Pitch Black is hardcore, dystopian sci-fi with blood, guts, and a body count.

Pitch Black stars Vin Di...

I am beginning a new project that involves looking back at the moves of this relatively young century. The 2000 Movie Project is part of a book I hope to write in the future looking close at the way movies reflect the time in which we now exist and the way culture shapes the world and the world shapes the culture. It’s going to be an eclectic compilation for sure, especially judging by my first entry, Walter Hill’s massive sci-fl flop Supernova. Released on January 14th of 2000, Supernova is a l...

In this second entry in my new series, The 2000s Movie Project, I am taking a look back at an actor whose work I have loathed and reviled for most of 20 years. In the late 90s, Freddie Prinze Jr. was my nemesis in a fashion that rivaled my similar disdain for the work of Adam Sandler and Eli Roth. In hindsight, I can see now that this hatred may not have been entirely warranted. Don’t misunderstand, movies such as She’s All That and the Scooby Doo movies are still garbage, but they are not on th...
