Once again, moviegoers and critics alike find themselves in January, the month where the Hollywood awards begin to be handed out and the number of new offerings at the local multiplex begins to diminish. Gone is the glut of movies fighting for the all important Christmas dollar where, 5 or even 6 new wide releases could come out on the same day.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. At least if you're at the malls or a multiplex or even better yet, a multiplex in a mall. Last time I looked at the calendar, the date read early November putting us squarely a month and a half away from the arrival of Santa.
David Lynch has always been a filmmaker that has polarized critics and moviegoers alike.
I'll be the first to admit that I've become a bit tired of computer generated animated feature films. It's just something that isn't fresh and exciting anymore.
Like in life itself, things in Hollywood go in cycles, with similarly themed movies often hitting the multiplex around the same time. Usually it happens with summer blockbusters like the summer of '98 when Armageddon and Deep Impact both shared the big screen in hopes of becoming the victor in the war of the "giant boulder hitting earth pictures".
Dex (Scott Speedman) and Royce (Wes Bentley) are a pair of strung-out slackers in a little bit of trouble. They owe their drug dealer friend Omar a rather large sum of money. Lucky for them their friend, a hooker by the name of Mattie (Taryn Manning), has an idea to rob one of her rich clients, a former hippie with a fear of banks.

What do you get when a picture finally gets released after languishing on the shelf for a long time? More often than not, a movie that is so bad the studio is finally ready to dump it in order to make a quick buck before DVD and normally this comes without advance screenings for the press.

How many things can you say about a romantic comedy? How many things can you say about a romantic comedy with a third wheel? How many things can you say about a romantic comedy with a third wheel that stars Zach Braff? Well, believe it or not that is about it.
On the eve of Spider-Man 3, I was literally excited beyond expectations. The first two films had lived up to the hype and proved that this was the strongest superhero franchise around. When I saw the first two films, I felt in heart that they emulated what was so great about the Superman movies back in the late 70s and early 80s.

As everyone knows, this is the "third" summer: we're looking forwrd to Shrek the Third, the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the third Jason Bourne, and of course the third Rush Hour.
