Review: Kingdom of Heaven

Posted by: Dean Kish  •  May 6, 2005 @ 11:59am

There are so many different ways that an epic film on the story of the Crusades could go. But as a historical event, they weren't really that interesting at their core. So why not focus on the people who lived and shed blood for them?

Kingdom of Heaven stars Orlando Bloom as Balian, a blacksmith who has just suffered a crippling loss and in turn lost his faith.

Review: Crash

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  May 6, 2005 @ 11:59am

What happens when you mix Grand Canyon, Magnolia, and 21 Grams? You get Crash, as written and directed by Paul Haggis, the man who wrote the Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby.

This is an ensemble cast in the truest sense of the words. There are a ton of stars, but no one gets that much screen time. There's Sandra Bullock, the spoiled rich-bitch.

If you don't know the name Paul Haggis quite yet, you better learn it and fast.

Review: XXX: State of the Union

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

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.

Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

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.

Okay, there are romantic comedies. I accept that they exist.

Review: The Interpreter

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

Oh how the mighty and brilliant have fallen.

On paper, a political thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, and directed by veteran director Sydney Pollack, seems like a no-brainer.

The film follows Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman), a young woman who was born in the US but raised in the fictional African nation of Motobo, which could be Zimbabwe.

Interview: Siblings director David Weaver

My opinion on interviews is widely known. I enjoy doing them occasionally, but am not the biggest fan of all the work that goes into preparing for them. Often, you have to talk to a publicist and the back and forth starts, trying to find a time that works for everyone involved.
