MOVIE REVIEWS

Incredible Hulk 06/20/08 For those of you out of touch with popular culture for the last 46 years, The Hulk is a big green man who talks like a third grader and is very mad and very strong, and the madder you make him, the stronger he gets.................................................Chris Boyle

Iron Man 05/15/08 Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, is atypical as far as superhero alter-egos go. He's not a nerdy school kid pining away for the girl of his dreams, nor is he some angst-ridden recluse out to avenge the death of his family. ................................................Chris Boyle

88 Minutes 04/28/08 When an American movie featuring a major star finishes filming in December of 2005 but isn’t released nationally until April of 2008, you tend to suspect its overall quality may have some...minor issues................................................Chris Boyle

Doomsday 04/01/08 Doomsday is basically a mish-mash combination of a number of various movies, and the resulting concoction adds up to far less than the sum of its parts...............................................Chris Boyle

The Bank Job 03/17/08 I’m horrible with accents. Call me uncultured or whatever, but if someone has a thick foreign accent, it just takes me a while to get my ears around it...............................................Chris Boyle

Semi-Pro with Will Farrell 03/06/08 Yes, it’s Will Ferrell in yet another sports spoof, and it's (surprise, surprise) exactly like every other Will Farrell movie ever made..............................................Chris Boyle

Rambo 02/06/08 My fellow moviegoers, let me tell you of a time known as the 1980’s. Former actor Ronald Regan was president, and in Regan’s America, an odd duality existed in the movies produced during that era- sex was bad.............................................Chris Boyle

Cloverfield 01/24/08 There’s been more mystery surrounding Cloverfield than any film in recent memory. A cryptic, untitled teaser trailer for this “giant monster eats Manhattan” movie was released this past summer.............................................Chris Boyle

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem 01/08/08 Merriam-Webster defines a Requiem as “A mass or solemn chant for the dead.” That alone tells us that no good will befall any of the characters involved in today’s review- 20th Century Fox’s Aliens Vs. Predator..............................................Chris Boyle

I Am Legend 12/19/07 The new film starring the always bankable Will Smith, originally came into existence back in 1954 in the form of a Science Fiction novel written by Richard Matheson about the last man alive on Earth..............................................Chris Boyle

Stephen King's 'The Mist' 11/29/07 Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my very first 4-star review. I suppose it's fair to inform you that I'm a huge fan of horror movies, and that The Mist is, in fact, a horror movie.

American Gangster 11/20/07 The easiest way to describe American Gangster is that it’s similar to Al Pacino’s Scarface in the sense that it covers the rise and fall of a crime lord from the ghetto...................................................................Chris Boyle

Saw 4 - A Cinematic Nightmare 11/02/07 I viewed Saw 4 last night and have no idea what the hell I watched. Honestly. I went on Wikipedia to read the plot recap right when I got home from the theater...................................................................Chris Boyle

Gone Baby Gone 10/25/07 Gone Baby Gone is horrific actor Ben Affleck’s directorial debut. And, to my surprise, it started out very solidly, with an especially excellent bit of character acting by star....................................................................Chris Boyle

We Own the Night 10/20/07 We Own the Night is a crime drama set in Brooklyn, NY during the late 1980’s, an era known for its decadence, style, and big, big hair................................................................Chris Boyle

Resident Evil: Extinction 10/10/07 You normally won't find the words 'fine cinema' and 'based on the hit videogame' in the same sentence. Such is the stigma that videogame-based film adaptations...................................................................Chris Boyle

Halloween 2007 - Rob Zombie 09/13/07 In 1978, fledgling director John Carpenter released a low-budget, independent horror film titled simply: Halloween. It told the tale of Michael Myers...................................................................Chris Boyle

Balls of Fury 09/01/07 Few things are worse than something the exhibits promise, yet fails to live up to it. A good example of such a thing would be a movie that claims to be a comedy, but in reality, it isn't....................................................................Chris Boyle

Rush Hour 3 08/17/07 There have been a lot of “cop buddy” movies throughout the years. A “cop buddy” film is when two police officers with obviously clashing personalities are forced to “team up” on a case, usually for comedic effect...................................................................Chris Boyle

The Bourne Ultimatum 08/08/07 People have long been intrigued by the glamorous picture painted by the celluloid spy, starting in the 1960’s with the granddaddy of them all, James Bond....................................................................Chris Boyle

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 07/27/07 Harry Potter. The famous boy wizard and star of author J.K. Rowling's recently-concluded series of books has become the stuff of pop-culture legend...................................................................Chris Boyle

Transformers 07/05/07 Initially starting out as a line of Japanese toys imported by Hasbro and released in America back in 1984, the idea of everyday, innocuous objects such as cars, jet planes and boom boxes that transformed into fighting robots caught the imagination of children everywhere....................................................................Chris Boyle

Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer 06/28/07 In 2005, the original Fantastic Four was released in theaters and was a major hit with moviegoers...................................................................Chris Boyle

Hostel Part II 06/14/07 In 2005, Eli Roth’s Hostel was released and managed to spark some controversy with its brutal subject matter....................................................................Chris Boyle

28 Weeks Later 06/08/07 28 Weeks Later is a horror movie and sequel to the critically acclaimed 28 Days Later by director Danny Boyle (no relation), which itself was a sequel to the hit film 28 Days starring the always-spunky Sandra Bullock...................................................................Chris Boyle

Distrubia with Shia LaBeouf 05/19/07 It’s always pretty cool when you go into a movie expecting it to be somewhat generic and uninspired and come out actually having had a quality entertainment experience. That’s the case with Distrubia..................................................................Chris Boyle

Spider-Man 3 with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst 05/10/07 First off, I feel compelled to mention that Spider-Man 3 has Venom in it, the best Spider-Man villain ever. Okay, on with the review.....................................................................Chris Boyle

The Condemned with Steve Austin 05/04/07 I love action movies. Movies that make no pretense of being high art- just good, old-fashioned blood, death, and violence. This magical genre saw its heyday in the late 80’s through to the early 90’s....................................................................Chris Boyle

The Reaping with Hilary Swank 04/26/07 There are a lot of instantly forgettable films released into theaters nowadays. Movies that are neither good nor bad, movies that decline to stand out in a special or memorable way, lost in a vast abyss of mediocrity....................................................................Chris Boyle

Grindhouse 04/16/07 Grindhouse is, if nothing else, an interesting experiment. It’s a testament to two men’s love of the Exploitation film genre and a throwback to the 70’s when sleazy, violent, sex-filled movies...................................................................Chris Boyle

Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell 04/09/07 It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good comedy- the best one in recent memory was 2003’s Old School...................................................................Chris Boyle

Shooter with Mark Wahlberg 03/31/07 Shooter. I hate the name (it’s super-generic), but I guess it wraps up what the movie is all about. It’s about a guy who shoots stuff with guns, and he’s real good at it...................................................................Chris Boyle

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon 03/21/07 Last night, my movie-going cohort and I were trying to decide on a new film to view this week. There were, as always, a plethora of various releases to decide upon, but the showtimes of the vast majority of them were pretty inconvenient..................................................................Chris Boyle

Ghost Rider - Nicolas Cage 03/06/07 The wave of movies based on comic books just keeps coming. And for someone whose childhood was greatly influenced by reading of the exploits of larger-than-life superheroes, I couldn't be happier.................................................................Chris Boyle

Hannibal Rising 02/21/07 Hannibal Lecter. The charismatic, cultured, cannibalistic serial killer was originally introduced to the world by novelist Thomas Harris in the 1981 novel Red Dragon and later popularized into iconic status by films such as Silence of the Lambs................................................................Chris Boyle

Epic Movie with Kal Penn, Adam Campbell, and Carmen Electra 02/07/07 Sorry, folks, but I can only review this movie up until about the 45-minute mark, because that's the point that I walked out of the theater in search of something less painful, like pulling out my toenails with rusty pliers. Yeah, Epic Movie is that bad...............................................................Chris Boyle

Smokin' Aces with Jeremy Pivan and Ray Liotta 02/02/07 After giving such a glowing review to Blood Diamond in my very first article written for this website last week, I began to wonder when I'd have the dubious honor of writing my first negative movie review..............................................................Chris Boyle

Blood Diamond with Leonardo Dicaprio 01/25/07 A lot of people have been talking about this movie, which released nationwide on December 8th. Our fellow movie going friend informed us that his father had seen it and that if we didn't do the same, that we would be "crazy".............................................................Chris Boyle
