HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
The problem with translating any of the Harry Potter books to the big screen is that author J.K. Rowling has cram-packed so much delicious detail onto virtually every page of her magnum opus. As with the previous effort, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERERS STONE, director Chris Columbus and company have done a stand-out job of capturing the… Read More »
DIE ANOTHER DAY
Floating along as it does on a bubble of élan and a dash of wit, the Bond films, if theyre smartly done, move so quickly that you dont have time to let anything as pesky as logic take hold. And thus it is with the 20th installment, DIE ANOTHER DAY. There is a formula to these films… Read More »
SOLARIS
In a move as audacious as it is disastrous, Steve Soderbergh has decided to push the edges of what filmmaking can be and created in SOLARIS not so much a motion picture as a still life. One that is more sleep-inducing than a warm glass of milk and a bottle of Seconal. It is remarkable… Read More »
EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS
Adam Sandlers EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS may actually give Ed Woods PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE a run for its money as the worst movie ever made. But maybe thats just the shell shock kicking in.

TALK TO HER (HABLE CON ELLA)
Spains Pedro Almodovar has become a darling of world cinema with his absurdist take on the battle of the sexes. In dissecting what it is that draws us together and drives us apart, he doesnt exaggerate the situation so much as show his characters acting as insanely as any of us would, given half the… Read More »
STAR TREK: NEMESIS
The problem with reviewing any Star Trek film is that it is a no-win situation from the point of view of both the fan and the anti-fan. If I praise it, I will be accused of being a Trekker. If it slam it, its because I dont like Trek in general and diss the flick… Read More »
