Dry Jewish humor, a few brotherly moments, little action or slapstick, and alot of talking go on in this 1998 movie involving a pair of sad-sack lounge singers confused for sad-sack safecrackers employed by a gruff Jewish mob boss. If your a fan of East Coast basist in-jokes, enjoy, but the movie can juggle your senses for being either cool or boring. A college try for director John Hamberg of 'Meet the Parents' and 'Zoolander.'

Prior Garbage fans would easily eat this album up as fans of the latter. 'Bad Boyfriend', 'Run Baby Run', and 'Right Between the Eyes' are so high energy they'd shame coffee. 'Bleed Like Me' is a reflectionist anthem. Ballads, grinding guitars, singer Shirley Manson's sexy and sincere voice, the hard rock and electronic overlays shame pop music pretenders. An overlooked gem from 2005, the album has the spice and warmth of a toasted marshmallow.

Far more hard rocking than Stone Temple Pilots last three albums and by far more superior. No. 4 is less scattered in sound base than 'Core', and less pop-centric than ' Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop.' Bonified hard hitting tunes, a few strumming ballads, all instrumental, no synthesizers or sampling. Your either listening to a good song or a great song to this album.

Released in 2000, if you liked 'Serial Mom' or 'Cry Baby' from John Waters this movie could be up your ally. If you have standards on what you watch, skip this by all means. Stephen Dorf plays title character as a literalist movie director/terrorist who kidnaps shmultzy celebrity Melanie Griffin in a guerrila campaign on bad movies in a movie. Predating the dreck of reality shows and terrorist forshadows, the movie is obnoxious in vulgarity, but its attacks on the movie industry is very spot on.
What's not so great: Not for child audiences or people with standards.

Bradley Cooper ( 'The Hangover') portrays a photographer set to reveal the dark world of the unknown as to trail a serial killer butcher Mahogany to surprise ends. Brooke Shileds and Leslie Bibb of Iron Man co-star. A unique story about the horrors of "reality", the movie leaves some questions to the monsters in play plus what and why Mahogany is. Beautiful crisp scenery, the movie is simple gore and silent chills.
What's great about it: A movie for gore fans with a surprise horror twist.
What's not so great: Not much for back story. Lacks answers to plot holes.

A bit of a gorish dud to a premier Italian horror director. The actor who appeared in 'Wings' is alright but the movie is simply bare-bones gore and promescuity . Furthermore, it's too short and there's no surpirses. Most women may not like this movie

Vietnamese animator Peter Jung's Aeon Flux cartoon serial from MTV would pre-date the Charlize Theron movie later. Set in a parallel world of two seperate territories of political diversity, the rebellious Aeon Flux and her lover then authoritarian rival Trevor Goodchild battle science, psychosis, faith, realitivity and many other sci-fi debates with sharp animation and subtle stories that shame "dumb humor" tales in mainstream. Not for most kids. Best to look before leaping here.
What's great about it: Lifelike animation, sci-fi/spy themes, mature base stories.
What's not so great: No CGI. May bore small children. Suggestive themes.

Not an action movie by any means, but not a bad movie in terms of being a buddy comedy similar to The Odd Couple. Brosnan plays a burnt out International assassin whose the most interesting thing in the movie getting help with Greg Kinnear who copes in his own marriage losing a child. The movie, however, feels like it should have been two separately told stories.

From director David Cronenberg of "The Fly" and "Eastern Promises", Law is a PR guard to a wanted dead video game designer (Leigh) who has developed an intense reality altering game both play while running from assassins. Slow-paced, strange twists, not for die-hard action fans or poor attention span children. Smartly attacks technologies for altering human thought. Special effects crude for 1998, but story is superb.
Directed by suspense master and director of the first trilogy, Wes Craven, SCREAM 4 is the newest installment in the acclaimed franchise that ushered in a new wave of horror in the 1990s. In SCREAM 4, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale (Courteney Cox), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts). Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghost Face, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends (Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Adam Brody) and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.

The original actors (Cox, Arquette, and Campbell) feel tired and bored trying to catch a 4th killer with a horror film fixation back in the town of Woodsboro. The younger actors show more energy and intrigue with the mystery and humor still holding sharp commentaries but the film ends with a poor surprise. New viewers may need to catch the first 3 beforehand.
