Dumb And Dumber “That was so stupid it was almost funny.” A dismissive, yet positive appraisal given to many a goofball yet funny comedy over the years by many different people (most notably my dad), and it rightly sums up the appeal of a LOT of films in that genre, namely ones where a good […]

Easy Money One of the reasons the legendary comedy star Rodney Dangerfield was in many ways so enigmatic was mainly due to the fact that he had such a limited career acting in films, not producing nearly the body of work as others of his era, that one wonders what could have been if he […]

Easy Rider It can be best often said that the ability of a simple movie to sum up an entire decade, or rather, an entire era within the confines of its running time can be considered the greatest of all cinematic achievements, and director Dennis Hopper certainly accomplished that with his 1969 Grand Masterpiece, a […]

Eat Pray Love Not so much a movie as it is a two and a half hour endurance test, this release from last year by the more lucky than talented creator of Glee based on a autobiographical book by flash in the pan author Elizabeth Gilbert displays a worldview so twisted that its very existence […]

For all its positives, the […]

Edge Of Sanity Of all the so called “classic” movie monsters from The Golden Age Of Cinema (most of whom have had quality updated versions made during the current modern age), the one who seems to have been forgotten for Hollywood doing a ripe update was Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, the classic creation of […]

Edward Scissorhands Sometimes the purest form of artistic expression is when said artist is able to successfully filter their own personal experience and perspective (political shenanigans notwithstanding) directly into their art in such a way that it is not only fully palatable to the viewer but also relatable to anyone who can ever say they […]

El Mariachi The state of low budget independent filmmaking has come down to one major factor when it comes to young filmmakers who are both short on funds and also lacking the ingenuity to make something memorable. Indy filmmakers have usually resorted to churning out what amounts to badly acted, badly written, badly directed and […]
