Recommended THE FILM High-concept twaddle that rolled off the assembly line after the megasuccess of "Speed," "Hard Rain" sometimes makes it impossible to appreciate what few extraordinary qualities it's managed to retain. It's big, dumb, noisy, and teeming with idiotic dialogue, yet the finished feature has a certain merry swagger about it that keeps everything motoring right along, and the ...
Highly Recommended The Film: Contempt (Le Mepris) is a challenge, an odd thing for it to be seeing as how it's Jean-Luc Godard's closest attempt at creating mainstream cinema. Conversations are stilted and uncomfortable, the characters rarely appealing, and the relationships developing are clearly headed towards a brick wall; however, that's all the intent of the French auteur's film, as the ...

Horror comedy, and specifically zombie comedy, came back with a vengeance upon the arrival of the extremely popular British export Shaun of the Dead , and soon after, lesser fare, like Boy Eats Girl , Night of the Living Dorks , Zombie Strippers , and Dance ...
Rent It The Movie: When I was watching Law Abiding Citizen , I couldn't help but think back to another movie which of all things, was Forgetting Sarah Marshall . In it, there's a scene where four characters are discussing a movie whose premise is laughable to the point where it avoids common sense. The trailers for Law Abiding Citizen at least got the premise part in there so you could make your ...
Highly Recommended The Film: The deck seems stacked against Drew Barrymore with Whip It , her directorial debut. It's a film about roller derby -- scratch that, a coming-of-age comedy revolving around roller derby -- that features pulse-pounding music, girls clothes-lining each other, and Jimmy Fallon as the house announcer for the "hell on wheels". Moreover, Ellen Page is double (triple ...
