  • A Love Story Mash-Up From Moviefone

    My friends over at Moviefone (full disclosure: I’m a contributor there) have put together a marvelous little mash-up in honor of Valentine’s Day. The actual day, not the movie coming out tomorrow. It’s got all of our favorite film couples: Hepburn and Tracy, Pattinson and Stewart, Ford and Fisher, Roberts and Grant, Streep and Eastwood,…

  • DVD Review: ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

    Just getting caught up on a few DVDs that have been stacked in my office waiting for a review. ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ was released in several versions last year: Two-Disc Blu-ray with Digital Copy, Single Disc DVD, and Two-Disc Special Edition DVD with Digital Copy. The people who put these out must go nuts trying…

  • DVD Review: ‘The Tiger’s Tail’ – An Entertaining Crime Thriller

    ‘The Tiger’s Tail’ (2006) is a movie that you’ve probably never heard of, but was released on DVD Aug. 11, 2009 and is definitely worth checking out if you like crime thrillers. It stars Brendan Gleeson (Prof. Alastor ‘MadEye’ Moody in the ‘Harry Potter’ series) as an Irish property developer of humble origins who has…

  • DVD Review: ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ – a favorite romantic comedy!

    ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ is one of those completely predictable movies, but one I can watch over and over and not get bored with it. Really, there’s not much you can do with the romantic comedy formula, so it all comes down to the chemistry of the two leads. Kate Hudson…

  • ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVII’ – on DVD March 16, 2010!

    Squeeeeeeeeeee!!! That’s the sound of me opening my mail yesterday and finding a review copy of ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVII’ from Shout Factory!

  • Blu-ray Review: ‘Miracle’ – Gear Up for the Olympics

    In case you need something to get revved up for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver (beginning Friday, Feb. 12), I suggest ‘Miracle,’ the movie starring Kurt Russell as Herb Brooks, the determined Minnesota hockey coach who managed to assemble a once-in-a-lifetime team and whip them into a victorious frenzy over their Soviet champion opponents during…

  • DVD Review: ‘Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs’ – Cute With Great Animation

    They’ve really mined everything they can out of these "Ice Age" movies, haven’t they? That’s not to say they’re not cute and fun and all that stuff. Just that maybe they’ve come to the end of the line on these particular characters and stories. Then again, they’ve added a few new characters in this movie,…

  • Review: ‘The Final Destination’ – A Slasher Movie to Die For!

    OMG, I just finished watching “The Final Destination” — on DVD and Blu-ray Jan. 5, 2010. It took all of about 2 minutes before I was hiding my eyes, biting my nails, and emitting tiny yelps at the slasher-iffic stunts. Heads were severed, bodies sliced in two, and crowds of people smashed by mammoth cement…

  • ‘Southland’ season one hits DVD Jan. 26, 2010

    If you missed season one of “Southland,” now is your chance to get caught up on the gritty cop show that got a slow start, but is gaining steam. It was unceremoniously canceled by NBC last year (they’ve made some really great decisions lately, haven’t they?), and then picked up by TNT. Seems like a…

  • Have you seen ‘The Hangover’ yet?

    Have you seen “The Hangover” yet? And if not, why not? Ok, I admit it’s a little raunchy in spots. Ok, let’s not mince words – it’s a crude buddy movie with lots of sex and drugs. But it’s also smart and funny. A smart, funny, adult comedy with great writing and real characters. And…

  • Exclusive: Interview with Caitlin Sanchez, the new Dora the Explorer!

    (Interview conducted November, 2008.) I was thrilled to speak with Caitlin Sanchez recently. At 12 years old, she’s an up-and-coming actress whose star is rising by the minute. Last week, I watched her in an episode of NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle,” but more importantly, she’s the new voice of “Dora the Explorer”! Read on for Caitlin’s…
