Tropic Thunder: Director’s Cut Ben Stiller’s return to the director’s chair has resulted in a comedy of epic proportions, successfully spoofing both war movies and the massive Hollywood egos that make them. The fact that he combines the visceral experience of war with belly-laughs is a good example of his skill here. Admittedly the film […]
Troy: Director’s Cut It’s been a long time since the heyday of the truly epic movie, films that spanned the length of being over 3 (or 4) hours in length and featured a multitude of big name actors playing a wide variety of characters. Films such as Gone With The Wind, Cleopatra, and Lawrence Of […]

After the VERY interesting setup of the love triangle between Robert Pattinson’s Edward, Taylor Lautner’s Jacob, and Kristen Stewart’s Bella, things settle […]
Twilight: New Moon Well, it’s certainly clear that the differences between this film and its awful predecessor are like night and day: Perhaps it’s the fact that the main characters are now well-established and that it allows the story to hit the ground running, or maybe because it actually delves into some of the mythology […]
