  • Forgotten Friday – Cool as Ice

    Vanilla Ice was so big in his day he even got his own film. This falls in the category of a film SO bad that it becomes good. There are little redeeming qualities about this movie the way it was presented, but if you approach it as a parody, its damn near perfect.

  • Halloween 2 Review

  • Forgotten Fridays – Oscar

    Action star and pop culture icon of the 80s Sylvester Stallone surprised the hell out of me nailing this brilliant comedy. This is one damned funny movie that doesn't fail to give laugh after laugh. It makes me wonder why Stallone didn't do more.

  • Forgotten Friday – Highlander

    While developing my own sense of adventure and fantasy in my teens, I fell in love with the magic and action that is Highlander. Then as subsequent violations of the franchise were thrust upon us, we are reminded that there can only be one.

  • Inglourious Basterds Review

  • Forgotten Fridays – My Cousin Vinny

    One of the funniest movies of this generation, and I am continually surprised to find people who haven't seen this gem. So if you have, enjoy the reminder. If you haven't... this review is aimed at you.

  • Julie & Julia Review

    Julie and Julia is a fantastic film and maybe my 3rd or 4th favorite movie of the year thus far (which is rather shocking to be honest). This is terrific filmmaking. Yes, some of the emotional chords are a little out of tune and the film did drag on a bit past its optimal length, but it is endearing, funny, charming and entertaining. Meryl Streep must get an Oscar nomination for this role.

  • Funny People Review

    Funny People is a potentially smart comedy that quickly loses it's way and becomes mired in disjointed story telling, lack of focus, too many random celebrity cameos, an overly long run time, lack of pace and despite some decent chuckles here and there, lack of humor. Sandler shines in his more dramatic moments, but almost everything else falls well short. Judd Apatow is a genius, but I think we finally just saw his one bad day at the office.

  • Forgotten Fridays – St. Trinians

    Not at all an old film but one that likely slipped by the notice of the average film viewer. A good frolicking good time.

  • Forgotten Fridays – Ladyhawke

    Right after WarGames and just before Ferris Beuller's Day Off, Matthew Broderick filmed this fantasy adventure romance directed by Richard Donner. One of his youngest and earliest roles we get to see him alongside Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfieffer. Truly amazing film.

  • Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince Review

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince exceeds at continuing to develop the core three characters as they grow up and finally gives Malfoy a story arc of his own as well as showing us multiple dimensions to his character for the first time. However, huge flaws in logic and major story holes kill much of the enjoyment.

  • Forgotten Fridays – First Knight

    I love medieval movies, so this wasn't hard to like. But the cast and delicate handingling of the love triangle between Lancelot, Guinevere and King Arthur of Camelot is a great action adventure with just enough romance.

  • Public Enemies Review

    Public Enemies ends up being a good film with a couple of fantastic performances that successfully transports you back to the 1930's in the world of John Dillinger, but a few lacking performances, a poor story flow and the failure to develop key elements of the story leaves you feeling wanting and wishing the movie had more substance. I still enjoyed it, but it doesn't live up to it's huge potential.

  • Forgotten Fridays: American Flyers

    American Flyers is an inspirational tale of brothers and competitive cycling without all the Hollywood Baggage.
