When I first saw the red-band trailer for this movie I thought it looked funny, but then again ‘College’ looked pretty fun by the trailer also. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself …

Review: ‘W.’

Travis:
Enter W., that’s George W. Bush. At least, the conveniently humiliating aspects of the caricature of President Bush that serve to best convey director Oliver Stone’s political views. What? It’s all well and good. This …

Review: ‘Sukiyaki Western Django’

Jeremy:
As a director, Takashi Miike takes the old adage of “less is more” and tramples all over it like a bull in Pamplona. Miike’s films are stark-raving mad lunacy of epic proportions, many of which …

Review: ‘The Express’

Travis:
If I were to call this one of the best football movies of all-time, I wouldn’t be doing it enough justice. A good football movie is thrilling, captivating its audience through the gridiron battles. A …

Review: ‘Blindness’

Travis:
Two words to describe ‘Blindness’… bizarre and disappointing. In theory, the concept was great. The movie begins with a man suddenly and spontaneously losing his sight while driving through a busy downtown district. As a …

Review: ‘Miracle at St. Anna’

Scott:
This Spike Lee joint is filled with emotions that we haven’t seen from a war movie lately, and left me wanting more. The story follows 4 black soldiers in WWII that are part of a …

Review: ‘Nights in Rodanthe’

Zac:
This adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel succeeds at being an entertaining and engaging romance film that stays away from sap and clichés of the genre, but still kind of prescribes to the formula.

Review: ‘Igor’

Jeremy:
‘Igor’ is one of the second-tier, animated films that seem to get manufactured as if on an assembly line.  Over the past couple of years, animated films are released one right after the other.  Most …
