Robin Hood, released May 14, 2010 stars Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. This version of the legendary story depicts the life of Robin Longstride, a prequel of sorts to the life of Robin Hood as we know it. Robin is an archer who fights in King Richard’s army. Following the king’s death, Robin and his [...]
Sex and the City 2 was released May 27, 2010. For a long-time franchise fan such as myself, this sequel was a disappointment. The original installment of the film franchise embodied everything the controversial HBO original television series was about. Designers, labels, friendships, New York City, and of course, sex. The latest installment, however, left [...]
Starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin, this film is, admittedly, weird. Zoe (J-Lo) is a woman who is sick of dating but wants a child and decides to get artificially inseminated. Shortly after she meets Stan and is afraid of what he will think if she tells him she’s pregnant. She’s concerned that Stan will [...]
When I first saw the trailer for Date Night, I knew I had to see it. I LOVE Steve Carell, and I think Tina Fey is pretty funny, too. I expected it to be just a hilarious comedy, which I was totally fine with, but it surprised me by being even better than just funny; [...]
Be honest with me; do you know anyone who does not like Robert Downey Jr.? His looks, talent, and charisma combined together would be any director’s dream. Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man 2, did an excellent job with the Iron Man sequel working together with Downey and the rest of the cast. Tony Stark [...]

When in Rome was neither a must see nor a complete flop. I don’t know that I would ever see it again, and I’m very glad I waited for the dollar theater, but it did have its high points. The parts with the ridiculous men that fall in love with the leading lady (Beth) are [...]
If you want to see a movie that is so hardcore it slaps your imagination in the face for being weak sauce, then you should definitely see Avatar. From the high-tech, deep space explorative side on down to the biologically unique ecosystem of planet Pandora, Avatar screams creativity. The movie Avatar was made possible by [...]
So, Avatar just came out on DVD. There has been a lot of hype about this movie, and its incredible computer graphics and special effects. I saw it in the dollar theater, and I feel like it was overrated. This is not to say I didn’t like it; I thought it was one of the [...]
Blindside is a movie I have heard nothing but good things about that I think deserves all the praise it has gotten over the past months. The plot is amazing, and is based on a true and very inspiring story. It was funny and poignant, and really tugged at the emotions. Sandra Bullock was truly [...]
