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: ‘Barstool Cowboy’

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 …

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: ‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’

Michelle:
The enthusiastic chuckling from my 10-yr old just at the teaser of miniature dancing dogs guaranteed my attendance at the first of 4 upcoming dog flicks with ‘Bolt,’ ‘Marley and Me,’ and ’Hotel for Dogs’ soon to follow. Disney bounds out of the pound …
