If you had to rate your appearance on a scale from one to ten, what would you rate yourself? Dealing with your appearance as being a four or an eight can be tricky, but even trickier is thinking that you can only date someone two points higher than you or less. She’s out of My League is all about... Read more »

‘Alice in Wonderland’ is a mistake of a remake

March 19, 2010 • written by Justin Miles  
Filed under Entertainment, Movie Reviews

“I’ve been considering things starting with the letter M”: magnificent, marvelous, magical, merry, majestic, meritorious. Johnny Depp seems to be fascinated with M words and constantly repeats this line in Alice in Wonderland while playing the Mad Hatter. Yet, none of these M words seem to describe... Read more »

The Bible is the most widely read book, as well as the best-selling book, in the world. But imagine a world where the complete opposite is true, and not only have a scarce number of people read the Bible, but even fewer know it’s still in existence. The Book of Eli depicts this world.

Around Christmastime, I expect to be dazzled with stories about good ol’ Saint Nick and miracles. Before I went to see Everybody’s Fine, I had heard it was a tearjerker and expected to see a family triumph over hard times through a miraculous adventure.

When I received my ticket for Brothers, I was expecting a movie that would push the limits of movies about war, have my head spinning with betrayal and war and even have some romance twisted by the evil of death. When I walked out of the theater, my head was spinning from disappointment. To have such... Read more »

(Scroll down for movie trailer!) Where the Wild Things Are, director Spike Jonze’s take on Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book, is anything but a children’s movie.  And it was never supposed to be a children’s movie, either.  As Jonze put it, he didn’t set out to make a children’s... Read more »

There’s nothing inglorious about the new movie Inglourious Basterds. I’ve never seen a movie with such a creative plot, such huge twists, such amazing acting … and Brad Pitt. Director Quentin Tarantino molded and shaped this movie into one of the greatest of its genre of all time; but Basterds... Read more »
