Alice in Wonderland is an unappealing boring movie that squanders money, talent, and time like no film I’ve seen before. There’s almost nothing to like about this film, and studios should seriously question giving Tim Burton more than 20 million to make another movie again.
First off, the film is revolting to look at. From the [...]

4 Comments »The Crazies Reviewed
February 26th, 2010 rberry The Crazies was a film that really didn’t need a remake. The 1973 original is not a very well known film, and aside from having a good title and a connection to George Romero, I don’t see the benefit of paying any amount of money to do it. That being said, it’s a competent and [...]
Ian McShane Cast As Blackbeard in New “Pirates” Film
February 24th, 2010 rberry MTV and other gossipy sites are reporting that Deadwood and Lovejoy star Ian McShane will be playing the iconic Blackbeard in the next installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

February 12th, 2010 rberry The Wolfman is simply a horrible movie. The art direction and look of the film is wonderful, but that’s about it. On the surface, it seems to have all the right things going for it, but it’s poorly directed, horribly written, badly edited, awfully acted, and all around sucky. Benicio Del Toro delivers his lines [...]
Whatever Happned to Chesty Morgan?
February 5th, 2010 rberry Wow! What a cool story by Jeff Klinkenberg of the St. Petersurg Times in Florida.

New Avatar Trailer Debuts At Cowboys Game
October 29th, 2009 rberry Dallas Cowboys fans might actually have something good to watch this weekend when James Cameron’s Avatar has a new trailer that will show on their Diamondvision screen on November 1st’s game. I love Cameron’s work, but I’ll admit that what I’ve seen of Avatar so far looks like some sort of 3rd grader conceived furry [...]
The A-Team Movie Cast Photo Revealed
October 24th, 2009 rberry Here’s a look at the new A-Team cast. Why on earth is Liam Neeson wasting his time with this? I get that you need someone to replace George Peppard, so you’ll have to go with all new, but I think it’d be funnier if they still used Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T with [...]
The Amityville Horror
