Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Review

Gary Smith

For the sake of being fair to this movie in this review, there’ll be no comparisons made between “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” or “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, because no one can play the role of Willy Wonka the way Gene Wilder did. With that said, Johnny Depp performed the role brilliantly, as he does pretty much every character. Poor kid Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) finds the last of Willy Wonka’s (Johnny Depp) “Golden Tickets”. The tickets, of which there were five…

The Notebook is the story of Noah (James Garner, Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Gena Rowlands, Rachel McAdams), and their love as told by old Noah to old Allie. The story of the two begins in the summer of the early 1940’s, when the blue collared Noah goes out of his way to get the wealthy Allie to go on a date with him. Over the course of that summer, the two fall in love, but are torn apart when Allie and her family return home from their summer vacation. After writing Allie for 365 straight days…

Underworld Rise of the Lycans Review

Gary Smith

I enjoyed the original Underworld movie, and thought it was quite a good film. The second one was good, but I found it to be just a tad worse than the first one, which is usually what happens with sequels. Then came word of a prequel without the two main characters from the first two films, and I thought it would be wonderful based off of the flashbacks and dialogue in the first film. And it is; I believe this prequel to be the best of the Underworld films. In this prequel, we see the birth of…

Stargate Continuum Review

Gary Smith

Day 42 of the QDR brings us the very last adventure (on camera anyway) of SG-1; the second and sadly last direct-to-DVD movie Stargate Continuum. This film has everything and almost everyone Stargate fans love.

Fool’s Gold Review

Gary Smith

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days pair, Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, team up again in this romantic-comedy. This time around, the duo play a divorced couple out on one last quest to find treasure buried at sea since 1715. McConaughey portrays Ben Finnegan, a child-at-heart surfer who has an obsession with finding the 18th century treasure. Hudson stars as his ex-wife, Tess Finnegan, who wants to move on with and rebuild her life. Tess takes a job working on a yacht, owned by a billionaire…

Confidence Review

Gary Smith

James Foley churned out a brilliant film led by a terrific cast with Confidence. If you like crime/thriller movies and films that deal with the art of conning, then you must see this film, again if you already have. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better, similar film. Edward Burns stars as master conman, Jake Vig. Once Jake and his crew, Gordo (Paul Giamatti), Miles (Brian Van Holt), Big Al (Louis Lombardi), and corrupted LAPD officers Whitworth (Donald Logue) and Manzano (Luis Guzman) con…

King Kong (1933) Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

At its release in 1933, King Kong was quite a spectacle and a true blockbuster. And while it’s been almost 80 years since this film released, it is still quite a spectacle. Prior to watching this for the first time, I had previously seen the 1976 remake starring Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange and thought it okay. I had also seen, and greatly enjoyed, the 2005 remake starring Naomi Watts and Adrian Brody. So I was more than familiar with the story of King Kong, but I had never seen the original…

The Expendables 2 Review

Gary Smith

Back in September of last year, our Features Editor, Jules, posted the full review of the theatrical release of The Expendables 2. For the most part, I agree almost completely with his review of the movie and so reviewing the movie isn’t why I’m posting this today. Instead, this quick review isn’t a critique of the movie itself (since Jules has already provided that) but rather of the Blu-ray release. Now I should point out that I didn't see the movie when it was in theaters, and I mention that…

Citizen Kane Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

Citizen Kane is widely considered by many to be the greatest film ever made, and it’s certainly noteworthy for a number of reasons. It was the motion picture debut of Orson Welles, already a noted theater performer. Welles starred in, directed, produced, and co-wrote the movie, and as director he brought a number of innovative techniques to the film. The camera angles he used, the way he staged scenes, and the lighting, amongst other things, were all innovative. More importantly it all worked…

Passion Play Review

William McPherson2 Comments

Mitch Glazer, you son of a bitch, I want both my time and money back, but excluding that I will settle for getting a little self therapy out here for having had to sit through your atrocious movie 'Passion Play' in this review. I hate to start off a post with an out and out obscenity like that folks but I’m really almost at a complete loss for words here. I feel as though my capacity for abject thought has been lowered substantially in the last ninety minutes of my life, and I therefore need to…
