Some of my favorite movies included classics like Revenge of the Ninja (all-time best ninja movie), American Ninja (I through V), Enter The Ninja, and, of course, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — with movies, cartoons, action figures, and video games, definitely […]

It’s not often that a movie at the top of the box office two weeks running and getting great reviews can live up to its hype. But Flightplan does just that. The plane-based thriller had me tense throughout and really felt like being on a plane. The story was told so well that not only […]

My dad and I finished watching Sideways last night, which Jen and I had started the other night. Usually when a movie has so much hype surrounding it, it’s hard to forget the hype and just watch the movie. I feared that’s what was happening at first, but then I realized I was really enjoying […]

‘Fahrenheit 9/11’: Connecting With a Hard Left (washingtonpost.com): “CANNES, France — ‘Fahrenheit 9/11,’ Michael Moore’s most powerful film since ‘Roger & Me,’ slices and dices President Bush’s presidency into a thousand satirical pieces. It’s a wonder the chief executive — at least, the one portrayed in this movie — doesn’t scatter to the four winds […]

If you’re not a teenage girl, a member of a frat, or Demi Moore, then you probably aren’t very into Ashton Kutcher. But if you can get past that, then give his latest movie, The Butterfly Effect, a chance. Feeling a bit stir crazy and the need to get out of the house, Jen and […]

As Jen has mentioned over on Dan’s blog, we saw Love Actually on Saturday. She sums it up best: It was “so sweet it’ll give you a cavity.” Perhaps it had something to do with my having had a mere four hours of sleep the night before prior to driving home from partying in Sacramento, […]
