Posted by: Dean Kish  •  February 10, 2006 @ 11:59am

For decades, Hollywood has tried to continue the Pink Panther series without the legendary star, Peter Sellers. The last one was the abysmal Son of the Pink Panther from 1993, which proved that trying to revive the series was impossible without Sellers.

Review: Firewall

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  February 10, 2006 @ 11:59am

Oh how the mighty have fallen! Other than a hefty cheque, what would possess Harrison Ford to make this movie? This has all been done before, and a lot better.

Ford plays Jack Stanfield, a banking executive in Seattle. His wife Beth is played by Virginia Madsen (Harrison is 63, Virginia is 42 â€" we'll let it go this time).

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  February 9, 2006 @ 12:00am

Review: Annapolis

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 27, 2006 @ 11:59am

What is it with Hollywood's fascination with boxing and equalizing of the squared-circle? Where two men enter and one man leaves.

Since practically the dawn of film, boxing films have enthralled fans in all sorts of ways.

Review: Guy Ritchie's Revolver

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 26, 2006 @ 11:59am

As far as I know, this film may never see the light of day in North America. That could be a blessing.

Guy Ritchie burst on the scene as the director of Snatch, which was such a great little film which practically redefined the whole "Euro-gangster" film genre.

Our top 10 films of 2005

Posted by: Paul Little  •  January 18, 2006 @ 5:17pm

The year of 2005 was considered a huge disappointment for the movie industry. The box office receipts fell for the first time in ages, and while studio mouthpieces may have you believe it was because of rampant downloading or the rise in DVD sales, the fact remains that in 2005, the movies just weren't as good.

Review: Hoodwinked

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 13, 2006 @ 11:59am

Okay, you know that CGI-animation has taken over when the first indie-CGI animated film debuts. That's right, an indie film that is in CGI. Makes sense, right? Didn't think so.

Hoodwinked is the first computer-animated feature to be released theatrically without a studio backer. Since it's an indie, you would probably expect it to be sassier, ruder, quick-witted, and well...

Review: Tristan & Isolde

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  January 13, 2006 @ 11:59am

I have to admit it. I never thought that I would see a year where January produced some entertaining movies. Now after seeing Glory Road, Tristan and Isolde proves once more that a new kind of January might be making its way into theatres.
