Critics be darned once again! Clash of the Titans defied the dismal review (31% Tomatometer) to soar past $60 million to capture the number 1 box office spot (it's already earned over 100 mil worldwide). WOW, it surely is kraken-ka-ching for honchos at Warner Bros, as it'll make up its $125 million production cost quicker …

My reviews of movies/TV/trailers
The Bounty Hunter review (a.k.a. my open letter to Gerard Butler)
From the first time I heard about this project at its conception last year, I wasn't psyched that my fave actor once again entered rom-com territory. Not because he isn't funny or charming enough to pull it off, but after the abysmal The Ugly Truth, the script is likely going to be another stinker. TUT …

DVD Picks: Easy Virtue and A Good Year
Easy Virtue I've wanted to see this when I saw the trailer early last year, but wasn't fast enough to make it to the theater.

FlixChatter Review: Inglourious Basterds
Ok, 2 down, 10 more to go. As I mentioned in my Oscar nom musings, I've got twelve movies to catch up on by Oscar time (both nominated for Best Picture and those that feature Oscar-nominated performances). In the past 2 weeks, I finally caught this one and The Hurt Locker, here's what I generally think …
FlixChatter’s Sherlock Holmes Review
Let's just say one thing for sure, this isn't your grandfather's Sherlock Holmes. This version breathes the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, but purists beware that Guy Ritchie definitely takes some, ok a lot of liberties with his interpretation of the legendary detective. Reportedly, Madonna's ex is a Holmes aficionado who's clearly been …
FlixChatter’s AVATAR review
To say Avatar is like nothing you've seen before is a quite an understatement. Back in June, I list Avatar as one of five must-see flix of the rest of 2009 and ever since then, the hype promised it to be something of an epic thrill ride. Well, I can confidently say that fifteen years …
FlixChatter Review: Julie & Julia
Instead of staying in for our monthly girls' movie nite, we opted to see this movie at the theater. Truthfully, I don't know what to expect as this isn't usually the type of flick I get excited about, but it was actually pretty good. I knew nothing about who Julia Child is, other than she …
