  • George Clooney Coming Back To DC?!?!?!?!

    Thumbnail image for clooneyandgirlfriend.jpgWhat's a bigger deal to us DC folks?  Transformers 3 shooting for 3 days on The Mall (and the possibility Abraham Lincoln is an Autobot?), or George Clooney directing Farragut North?  DC Ladies, let the swooning commence! 

    Cinematicalis reporting Clooney will start shooting the movie next February...

  • Summer Movie Attendance Lowest Since 1997, I Blame Marmaduke

    movietickets.jpgIf you believe the Hollywood spinmeisters, this was the best summer movie season ever! 

    Disney has become the first studio to release two $1 Billion movies in one year (Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3). 

    Box office take was $4.35 Billion for the summer, up 2.4% from last year, and setting a...

  • The American - Review

    americanposter.jpgI know many people think George Clooney is a walking talking special effect all by himself, but we need more than his bare chest and rugged jaw to make The American interesting.

    Clooney stars as Jack - an assassin on the run.  His boss, Pavel (Johan Leysen), has sent him to a remote Italian town...

  • Morning Glory - Trailer


    Is it just me, or is Morning Glory attempting to be this generation's Broadcast News?

    Rachel McAdams seems to have the Holly Hunter role down cold, but I am worried about Harrison Ford. Is he overdoing it early on, but delivering the dramatic goods late? Will he get an Oscar for Best Hair?

    What do we think? Oscar material? Date night material? Not-even-on-DVD material?

  • Paris Hilton Busted With Coke In Purse

    parishilton.jpgNo, we're not talking about the refreshing caffeinated drink in that oh so sexy curvy bottle. 

    We're talking about the nose candy.  Blow.  Snow.  The Powder.

    In a scene straight out of a Cheech and Chong movie, Hilton and her boyfriend, Cy Waits, were driving down the Vegas strip Friday night in a...

  • Clash of the Titans

    Clash of the Titans

    2 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - Go ahead and release your inner Kraken. more

  • The Last Song

    The Last Song

    ½ Waffle (Out of 4) - You can tell Miley Cyrus is trying to show her character is filled with dramatic, painful agony because she scrunches up her face like a Cabbage Patch Doll (or Renee Zellweger). Good luck with that acting career. more

  • Hot Tub Time Machine

    Hot Tub Time Machine

    1 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - How can anyone screw this up? We have a hot tub. We have a time machine. We have 80's classic music (and big hair). What went wrong? more

  • How To Train Your Dragon

    How To Train Your Dragon

    3 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - I was able to see this in IMAX 3D, which is highly highly highly recommended if you have one near you. Just make sure you bring some sort of sanitizer (I have a travel size one with me at all times) because they re-use all of the glasses from show to show, and I hope they... more

  • Chloe

    Chloe

    2 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - I want to make something clear to you perverts out there who assume the worst from me (not that I haven't justified it). When I say Amanda Seyfried has big eyes, I really mean she has big EYES. It's not a euphemism. more

  • Bounty Hunter

    Bounty Hunter

    1 Waffle (Out of 4) - Poor Jennifer Aniston. She is soooooo pretty, but her movies are so ugly. It's like she made a deal with the devil to have eternal beauty and a career in movies, but he pulled the old switcheroo by making those movies ones like The Bounty Hunter. more

  • Diary of a Wimpy Kid

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid

    1 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - Zachary Gordon stars as Greg Heffley - a young kid entering middle school with plans to be one of the cool kids. Along the way, he has to navigate the childhood dangers of nefarious cheese, no doors on the bathroom stalls, where to sit at lunch time, and the hazing by older... more

  • The Green Zone

    The Green Zone

    3 Waffles (Out of 4) - Don't worry. Despite having the word "Green" in the title, Matt Damon is not some eco-warrior trying to destroy an evil polluter, save the dolphins or attempting to take down Toyota (they seem to be doing that all on their own). It's a war movie, so stuff is going to blow... more

  • She's Out Of My League

    She's Out Of My League

    3 Waffles (Out of 4) - It's funny, and kinda sweet, but they shouldn't classify it as comedy. It's sci-fi/fantasy. more

  • Remember Me

    Remember Me

    2 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - The ending is one you will either love or hate, so put me in the hate category. I hate the ending. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it with the passion of 1000 burning suns. I hate it more than Kim Basinger hates Alec Baldwin. I hate it more than... more

  • Brooklyn's Finest

    Brooklyn's Finest

    2 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - In the 1970's, 80's and 90's, New York City and Brooklyn were portrayed in movies as dens of iniquity where evil (and rats) lurked in the shadows of every alley. That's why we believed each case on Cagney and Lacey, NYPD Blue and Law & Order could really happen (and often... more

  • Alice in Wonderland

    Alice in Wonderland

    2 ½ Waffles (Out of 4) - Poor Tim Burton. When his name gets attached to a film, the expectations and the hype explode beyond the stratosphere, and you can't live up to it every time (kind of like having a date with Megan Fox and finding out she's a nice girl who needs to be home by 11 PM). more
