From Paris With Love is a movie that proves no matter what you expect to happen the exact opposite will come true. John Travolta’s newest look is immediately shocking. Sporting a thick goatee, and some of the most hideous outfits worn since Hairspray, I was inclined (at first) to dismiss his macho act as a complete dud. Ten minutes into the movie I could not possibly have been more engaged. How did this quick reversal occur? Read more to find out…

Love Happens is a heartwarming picture. If this were winter time anywhere other than in Florida I would appreciate the inner warmth it generated. Being that it is consistently 80 degree here in sunny South Florida I had to turn on the air conditioning instead! There go my electricity savings for the month. In this romantic drama (dramance?) Jennifer Aniston shines like a new penny in a role typically reserved for a far less talented actress…

Zombieland with Woody Harrelson |

Zombieland is perhaps the funniest movie engineered in a long time. Woody Harrelson (if you are a regular reader you understand why) is not one of my favorites, but he used to be. Channeling his inner Woody Boyd from "Cheers" and bowling prophylactic kingpin from Kingpin, he has hit a home run out of the park (providing that park has a zombie population of 0).

Mel Gibson is back…and no, not in the tabloids. The Jewish honor in me wants to slander the action star to return his drunken volley "Jews start all wars", but right now, in this arena I am a film critic and that is my job, not retaliation. Besides, are you ready for my honest evaluation of Edge of Darkness? Here it is…(yep you have to read more).

With the recent January 4 battle on Monday Night between TNA Wrestling and the WWE, I thought this would be a perfect time to review the Real Monday Night War between the WWF/WWE and WCW. This approximately 3 hour DVD is primarily a documentary with a fair amount of extras included.

Have you heard about Tucker Max? I heard from my brother that Tucker Max wrote a book based on insulting women while drinking heavily and then trying to seduce them after being a complete jerk. Sounds like the funniest premise ever right? This brings me to the film I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell…

Brothers with Tobey Maguire |

Brothers is a blast to watch (pun intended). Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman star in this smash hit that comes way too close to home for most viewers. The previews were a bit misleading with the intent of driving more viewers to the theater. This movie is not a Jerry Springer drama about two siblings sleeping with the same woman, it is a psychological thriller about a post traumatic stress disorder marine captain fresh off the battlefield. Well, almost…

Surrogates stars Bruce Willis and actors nobody has ever heard of before. It is a cross between The Fifth Element (fans are split on whether that movie is a disgrace or a thriller) and I Robot. I much prefer the iPhone or the iHome, and this holiday season wish for the iWrite so I will not have to compose any more articles! Surrogates has more than enough mechanical ammunition to keep us thrilled, but the enacting of a premise adapted from yet another graphic novel makes the idea too juvenile for my liking.

Every once in a while I have the opportunity to watch a movie that is a surefire winner. During the month of September it is rare a studio will release a good film. Fall television premiers and the popularity of football cause chaos in the movie world. The only genre that enjoys an advantage despite the obvious setbacks is the cartoon or animated films field.

The Spy Next Door, Youth in Revolt and The Imaginarium |

"ABC, 123 , baby you and me." I would like to use this song lyric by the late Michael Jackson as a paradigm for a tripartite review. The three movies under review are The Spy Next Door, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and Youth in Revolt.

Legion is equal parts greatness, discombobulation, filler and heresy. Paul Bettany has found his ability to act for the first time since A Beautiful Mind. No longer the prodigal roommate, he is the prodigal archangel Michael. Charles S. Dutton better known for his roles in "Roc" (playing the role of a philosophical garbage man) and Rudy makes for a colorful supporting actor insofar as he stays relatively in the background. Dennis Quaid does not belong in a low budget train wreck but he delivers a performance that exudes style and southern grace. Finally, the most prominent characters worth mentioning are Tyrese Gibson (Fast and the Furious 2) and Lucas Black (Fast and the Furious 3).
