Review for Tropic Thunder - Go - Gotta see Downey Jr
The movie started out great. I couldn't think of a better way to start the movie to create the back story. The previews were part of the greatness of the movie. The second greatest part was the cameos. I won't reveal the second one but it a good one. Overall, the movie started out awesome. It slowed a little in the middle but for the most part. Probably as funny as the modern classics (Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, 40 Year Old Virgin)
Review for Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Go - Action-packed beginning to a promising new series
Awesome animation and lots of action here in this newest Star Wars feature film. The production team didn't disappoint! There were some real funny parts in this movie too - the Jawas loitering around waiting to scavenge parts for example. And the whole dumb droid thing with the Separatist Army. Although it was a simple plot, I think the story served as a good introduction to the upcoming television series that I'm sure to watch. Great for Star Wars fans of all ages.
Review for The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience - Must Go! - Dark Knight
I tried not to go into the movie with expectations. However, it was absolutely incredible! There's really not much that can be said about Joker that already hasn't been said. It was not TOO long. The movie was amazing. Joker definitely made the movie. It was the most accurate portrayal of the real Joker I have ever seen. And no one has ever made Joker look so cool. Two-Face also looked incredbile. Definitely not for little kids. Two-Face's face is enough to give any kid nightmares. And I loved that the violence was more psychological than gorey. My favorite movie ever so far. To top it off, seeing it in IMAX was great. The first scene of the city looked like I could have fallen right through. Defnitely worth every penny and will be going soon to see it again!

'Mirrors'
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700
After muddling through this horror diversion, Kiefer Sutherland is better off keeping his day job on '24.' Hollywood, where vanity can seem not a vice but a virtue, would presumably love mirrors. Not so in "Mirrors," a ridiculous studio remake of a Korean horror film where at a burnt-out old department store, the new night-shift security guard (Kiefer Sutherland), a disgraced ex-cop, finds that the mirrors are home to evil, murderous spirits.
'Fly Me to the Moon'
Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Also: 'Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer,' 'Falling,' 'XXY' and 'Re-Cycle' "Fly Me to the Moon," a 3-D-animated tale of insects who want to be the first flies on the moon, seeks to instill in kids a sense of wonder at space exploration. Whether it succeeds is really in the eye of the beholder.
'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'
Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Woody Allen's latest, starring Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem, again tries to balance comedy and drama. Again, the result is off-kilter. LIKE shipwrecked sailors awaiting the return of the hero sent for help, comedy-deprived moviegoers are desperate for the return of the old Woody Allen, the one who made them laugh. Each new Allen film is frantically examined as soon as it appears on the horizon: "Is that him? Is he back? Please, God, let him be back."

Rolling Stone Movie Reviews

Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:51:48 -0700
Starring: Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Scarlet Johansson Review: Woody Allen goes latin (you heard me), and the romantic, richly comic result — powered by a dream cast — is his sexiest movie ever. Shooting in Spain has loosened up the Woodman. You want plot? Two American girls, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), spend the summer at the Barcelona hideaway of Vicky's pals, Mark (Kevin Dunn) and Judy (the ever-glorious Patricia Clarkson). No sooner do the girls spot Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a bedroom-eyed painter, than he's hitting on both of them. So far, so predictable. What sparks the movie is Penélope Cruz as Maria Elena, the painter's ex-wife, a fireball given to strong emotions — hell, she once stabbed Juan Antonio during an argument. You haven't lived till you've heard Cruz and Bardem trading Woody Allen o... Rating: 3 Stars
Tropic Thunder
Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:23:35 -0700
Starring: Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Steve Coogan, Jay Bar... Review: Think of all the ways you can hurt yourself laughing, as in fall down, split your sides, bust a gut, blow your mind. You get it all in Tropic Thunder, a knockout of a comedy that keeps you laughing constantly. It's also killer smart, lacing combustible action with explosive gags. Major props to Ben Stiller, the director, co-producer, co-writer and co-star, who shows us Hollywood at war with its own ginormous ego during the making of a megabudget Vietnam War movie with an uproariously inept cast and crew. Stiller took flak for the other three movies he's directed: 1994's Reality Bites was allegedly too soft, 1996's The Cable Guy too dark, 2001's Zoolander too airy-fairy. Confession: I liked them all. And I'm nuts about Tropic Thunder, with its dynamite script by Stiller, Justin Theroux and... Rating: 3.5 Stars
American Teen
Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:59:34 -0700
Starring: Hannah Bailey, Colin Clemens, Megan Krizmanich, Jake Tusing Review: Reality tv, welcome to the multiplex. If The Hills went back to high school and developed wit, perception and a conscience, it might play something like Nanette Burstein's wallop of a doc. Burstein (The Kid Stays in the Picture) did total immersion with a handful of seniors at the only high school in Warsaw, Indiana, which we're told is "mostly white, mostly Christian and red state all the way." It's not all condescending; a church sign announces, "Get an Afterlife." Camera in hand for more than 10 months, Burstein waited patiently for character types out of a John Hughes movie to shake off their clichéd shells — the prom queen (Megan Krizmanich), the star athlete (Colin Clemens), the band geek (Jake Tusing), the arty rebel (Hannah Bailey). The fact that they do, sometimes by happy... Rating: 3 Stars

84% Tropic Thunder
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:05:02 -0700
With biting satire, plenty of subversive humor, and an unforgettable turn by Robert Downey, Jr., Tropic Thunder is a triumphant late Summer comedy.
94% The Dark Knight
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:05:02 -0700
Dark, complex and unforgettable, The Dark Knight succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga.
18% The Clone Wars
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:05:02 -0700
Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.

How Batman became cinema's top trump
Sun, 17 Aug 2008 00:00:19 -0000
Every decade or so, a film passes from box-office hit to cultural phenomenon. That’s what is happening with The Dark Knight, the latest instalment in the Batman franchise. Even in Hollywood, nobody can quite believe how big a hit the $180m film, the second Batman movie to be directed by Christopher Nolan and to star Christian Bale as the superhero, has become. $“It’s a film that is rewriting the record books every day, redefining our notions of what a blockbuster can be,” says Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office tracker Media by Numbers.
