Flipped is a great wholesome movie. It was truly marvelous. It tells the classic story of young love between a boy and a girl but in regard to film, it doesn’t tell it in the classical way. The movie is set in the fifties and takes us back to a time of the radio where stories were just told verbally. Flipped heavily relies on the great monologues of the main characters and uses the visuals to support that. It’s a movie that can be enjoyed by young and old and has a light enjoyable feeling even when dealing with difficult subjects.

REVIEW: Piranha 3D
If you're ever in Thailand, go see a movie...their theaters are very luxurious even on Hollywood standards. At the beginning of each film they play a little montage in honor of their ruling King where you must stand...it's quite a different experience but very cool. Most of the movies they show are quite recent coming out at or around the same time as the US release dates and sometimes even before! Walking around Bangkok I noticed that they were promoting Piranha 3D a lot so I knew I had to check it out... As I expected, it was hilariously bad but ...
REVIEW: Going the Distance
Going the Distance is not your typical rom com (Remember, it's rated R). Sure, it has the romantic side for the ladies but the comedy is definitely for the dudes (women will get a kick out of it too though). Starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, Going the Distance delivers a nonstop (pun?) orgy of humor and emotions without going over the top and keeps it realistic. It has mass appeal but doesn't sell out to conform...no wonder it was pushed back a week for the Labor Day weekend...I think a lot of people are going to love this one. The ...
REVIEW: Lottery Ticket
I wasn't expecting much when I went into the screening of Lottery Ticket and I definitely did not expect to see what I saw. Lottery Ticket is not a family film...it's a lot more vulgar, sexy, and serious than it seems. It's a decent movie that's entertaining at times but doesn't add much to the cinematic world except more fire on the stereotypes. The ensemble cast is comprised of your usual suspects in an "urban" movie but still great including Loretta Devine, Keith David, Terry Crews, and comedians Mike Epps, Charley Murphy, and Bill Bellamy. Lottery Ticket is about Kevin Carson ...
REVIEW: Eat Pray Love
Eat Pray Love is written and directed in that mysterious language that only females understand. I got it, but thought it could have been a bit better...I wouldn't call it a chick flick but it's obviously targeted towards women. I hate to use this word, but it's charming. It has its moments of humor, emotion, and awe-inspiring visuals but at the same time it runs long and is quite dull at points. Based on the memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert, this is a globe-trotting story of self-discovery. The movie begins in Bali where Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is traveling for work and ...
REVIEW: Piranha 3D
Posted on August 26th, 2010 by Matthew FongPiranha 3D was hilariously bad but still a great time! If Avatar was a step forward for 3D, this was 2 giant steps back. I remember hearing about this film and seeing the trailer thinking it was a joking jab at James Cameron since he directed Piranha 2 back in the day and his huge 3D spectacular (Avatar) was about to come out. Well, it wasn’t a joke…it’s real and it’s really ridiculous. It seems that a bunch of guys in Hollywood got their hands on a 3D camera and wanted to see what they could get away with. Beautiful Girls? Check. Bad Script? Check. Bad Acting? Check. Gore? Check. Boobies? Double Check. That’s pretty much the formula for Piranha 3D.

REVIEW: The Other Guys
Posted on August 9th, 2010 by Marcus ThomasWhen I first saw the trailer for this movie, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell together was something I had never imagined, so it struck me as very odd. I came into this movie thinking it would probably be just another run of the mill comedy with a few jokes here and there. I was very mistaken. The Other Guys is a great film.
