JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH – Reviewed by David
I don’t know about 3D, but in 2D, at least, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a perfectly entertaining and family-friendly theme-park-ride of a movie with loads of impressive green-screen wizardry that nonetheless skimps on emotional depth. It features Mummy star Brendan Fraser as a scientist who, along with his nephew (Josh Hutcherson) [...]
Read MoreRED – Reviewed by Bruce
As directed by Lucky McKee (in-house favorite May) and adapted from the novel by Jack Ketchum (Girl Next Door), Red is, by appearances, a standard revenge story.

Read MoreTHE INCREDIBLE HULK – Reviewed by Jim
With an all-star cast and big-time effects, The Incredible Hulk movie makes up for the previous Hulk movie with better performances. There are some really great moments and some fine acting by Edward Norton, William Hurt, Tim Roth and even Liv Tyler. Though there seemed to be some missing plot development clues, overall the story [...]
Read MoreTHE STRANGERS – Reviewed by David
The Strangers is one of the most truly unsettling and frightening horror flicks I’ve seen in a long while. For me it ranks up there with Halloween and The Sixth Sense in how effectively and consistently it gives you goose bumps and makes you muffle startled screams. I watched it right before I went to [...]
