Ice Cube fans will melt for this action flick, but the rest of us will be just left with our proverbial mouths on the floor.

Why they had to make a sequel to the "roid-pumped" spy flick XXX is beyond me.

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 29, 2005 @ 11:59am

Not familiar with the classic text and hitching a ride of my own, I climbed aboard a train bound for the stars. I guess curiosity had got the best of me since so many of my contemporaries were ecstatic about the classic novel by Douglas Adams. So I just had to see what all the fuss was all about.

Everyday Joe, Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman), is having a really bad day.

Review: The Interpreter

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 22, 2005 @ 11:59am

Review: Millions

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 15, 2005 @ 11:59am

What would happen if the innocence of a child was all of sudden faced with the responsibility and corruption of more money than he could possibly imagine?

Director Danny Boyle, who also brought us Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, asks that very question when two young brothers, Anthony and Damian, come across a duffel bag full of British pounds.

Review: Primer

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  April 9, 2005 @ 8:03am

What happens when you introduce a key device or concept from science-fiction into our universe?

In a small independent film made for a meager $7,000, writer, director, and star Shane Carruth brings forth a film that begins with 4 friends working away in a friend's garage as they try to put their minds together on a project that could save all their financial woes.
