February 14th, 2009
Confessions of a Shopaholic is a screen adaptation loosely based on the best-selling novels on the topic by Sophie Kinsella.

At twenty five she subconsciously lashes out ...

Friday the 13th

February 14th, 2009
Friday the 13th scheduled its opening day on the fist Friday the 13th of 2009 which is a lucky coincidence – not so lucky or course for anyone paying to see this remake – but if it didn’t open on Friday the 13th then the title would have nothing to do with the actual film. Camp Crystal Lake is again the scene of the crime(s) where in 1980 (the year of the original movies carnage) young Jason ...

He's Just Not That Into You

February 6th, 2009
He's Just Not That Into You has one of the key elements that I’m not usually into – an all-star cast. So when I see Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Connelly, Justin Long, Kris Kristofferson, and even Kevin Connolly as part of this entourage I immediately wonder how bad is this going to be? The truth is not bad at all. As a mater of fact it’s great! ...

Push

February 6th, 2009
Push is a sci-fi story about individuals with paranormal powers trying to stay one step ahead of a shady agency that wants to use their powers for nefarious gain. Hey wait a minute, isn’t that the premise for TV’s Heroes? Well uh, yes it is. Anyway, here those with telekinetic powers are movers and watchers can see the future. There are even those who can scream so loud that they cause fatal ...

The Pink Panther 2

February 6th, 2009
The Pink Panther 2 has Steve Martin reprising his homage to Peter Sellers and his 60’s buffoon character Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Although most of the action takes place in France, French accents are optional. Emily Mortimer as Clouseau’s clumsy love interest almost gets a pass but John Cleese as Chief Inspector Dreyfus doesn’t even try (something his predecessor Kevin Klein might have tak ...

February 6th, 2009
Coraline (Dakota Fanning) – not to be confused with Caroline (which invariably happens) is a bored pre-teen whose family has just move into the main floor unit of a somewhat rural heritage character home appropriately complete with a witch hat roof. In this computer generated animation (also screening in 3D) she’s cute as a button which is not really to her advantage since buttons become a re ...
