Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Reviewed by Jessica
Okay, so I really enjoyed this, but for all kinds of bizarre reasons. I can easily see how many people hated it, and why it left the theatres so quickly. What's bad: too much singing, Helena Bonham Carter, Helena Bonham Carter's singing... More

Stardust
Reviewed by Jessica
This movie was quite enjoyable. I probably never would have picked it up except that a co-worker recommended it to me, so I checked it out...and I am glad I did. I didn't like Tristan at first, but that quickly changed, and while corny ... More

Reviewed by Vocalities
11/18/07 Catch Me If You Can An unfortunate truth for an overwhelming number of modern films is that they lack theme, or at least a consistent, working theme. While some just seem to focus on something scene by scene, which can work whe... More

Amélie
Reviewed by Vocalities
There are many things that a person can take from this film other than the inspiration for a Travelocity commercial. From the very first shot of the film it’s clear that it’s not going to be just another film. Often labeled as artsy-far... More

Say Anything
Reviewed by Jessica
I loved this movie. I don't think I had ever seen it before this year, which is surprising, given my affinity for movies from the 1980's, and having grown up on said movies! A shame I hadn't seen it before, or at least, don't remember h... More

Animal control officer Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) is obsessed by a novel, The Number 23, which his girlfriend (Virginia Madsen) offers him for his birthday. Soon Walter believes the book was written about him, and his fascination increases... More

Lost - Season 1
Reviewed by Moz La Punk
You might have picked something up about Lost somewhere the past couple of years. It's a big success, so logically, it's everywhere. Don't be turned off by the fact that this is an extremely commercial product, though, because this first se... More

Life is Beautiful
Reviewed by Flash
This was a really heart warming movie. The first half of the movie is hilarious Roberto Benigni's antics. The love story is wonderful to watch. Then you get to the second half of the movie and get to see the stark realities of WW2. It i... More

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Reviewed by Jessica
This is one of my favourite musicals to watch. What is it about musicals that is just so appealing? The story is, as always, unbelievable, but the music and dancing more than makes up for that. The eldest of seven brothers heads into t... More

At Play in the Fields of the Lord
Reviewed by doudouce55
I remember the first time I picked this up to watch with my family, some 15 years ago. We all figured it was just another tv movie because we had never heard of it. Instead, we were all surprised by its quality. By the end of tape number on... More

Primer
Reviewed by Thom Britton
I love everything about this film. I do not recommend watching this flick if you are in a mood to just sit and 'veg out'. This movie requires your total attention, blink and you'll miss it. More

The Black Hole

Description: It's 2 A.M. in St Louis when a routine scientific experiment goes terribly wrong and an explosion shakes the city. A scientific team investigates, clashing with an intergalactic, voltage-devouring creature that vaporizes the... More

Heist
Reviewed by [dave]
I love the heist genre, and just received this on DVD. It was great to watch in the theater, and in the several times that I've seen it, there are new connections that I make to the pieces of the "job" that takes place... It's not a blockbu... More

Snakes on a Plane (Widescreen Edition)
Reviewed by jasoncarulli
It seems that all the internet hype surrounding this film and its brilliant title left more to the imagination than the actual film provided. And in the end, it may have been that movie title that caused more disappointment at the box offic... More

Cheaper by the Dozen 2
Reviewed by tjeffress
All of the twenty child actors seem to have good acting abilities, but with so many children in the cast the kids get about as much screen time as a cameo role in this movie dominated by Martin and Levy. For a full review go to: interrog... More

Tideland (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Reviewed by robelanator
Tideland is a visual treat, no great surprise considering the director, but the humor is far more black than anything Terry Gilliam has done before. If you can't stand the thought of watching a child prepare her parents' smack or cuddle ... More

Mindhunters
Reviewed by Jessica
The premise of this movie is interesting - however, the movie overall kind of falls flat. It IS watchable, but the group of profilers-in-training are supposed to be a promising group of individuals - special, better than the others. Yet... More

Deja Vu
Reviewed by sixty4
The actual story, which involves a murdered witness and an evil gulf war veteran (glassily played by Jim Caviezel), is your standard time-paradox puzzle box, neatly solved in a twisty final act. Tony Scott's visuals are as stylishly empty a... More
