Michael Moore has a knack for devising compelling theses on the state of American society and its maladies, but unfortunately he all too often undermines them with his style of argument.

Though set at a stadium and all about soccer, Offside offers only fleeting glimpses of the game; the big match takes place off-screen, watched by the soldiers obliged to guard the women through metal bars.

Damages can best be described as The Devil Wears Prada meets Basic Instinct, and not in a good way.

Dolph Lundgren is still alive and kicking.

To me, American Gangster seemed like it could be this year’s Departed, but without the swagger and panache.

This film about an Italian family immigrating to America comes to us from a joint French and Italian effort, so obviously things are bound to get interesting. And weird.

Richard Gere and Terrence Howard go in search of a Bosnian warlord.

This film is a dreadful bore and a gigantic, glaring disappointment.

Even though this is a heist movie it’s a more effective character study.

Margot at the Wedding is not a bad movie, it’s an ill-advised one.

The Rock goes head-to-head with fatherhood.

Adult fans like me will want something closer to old school Indiana Jones action.

Season 2 on DVD lives up to the release of season one in 2006.

Its not a film about King Kong, but instead is a humorous documentary on another famous Kong, the 80s arcade game relic—Donkey Kong—and those who have spent their lives trying to master it.

After years of doing Star Wars references on the hit animated FOX show Family Guy, the production team finally threw caution to the wind and did their own episode devoted exclusively to Star Wars.

Seriously? You cannot actually believe there is a market for this stuff, can you?

A Shakespearean re-write and a cast of Academy Award winners couldn’t save this pile - well ok, maybe that.

It’s hard not to not like the Brothers Solomon, the actual characters, not the movie… not.

DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the first film adaptation from the popular role-playing game Dragonlance, which is derived from the pop-culture gem Dungeons and Dragons.

If you’re like me, you missed Sunshine in theaters, maybe because it looked a little bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is the only movie that ever made me want to cut my wrists to avoid watching the remaining 48 hours of it (felt that long).

As the second direct-to-DVD sequel to the theatrical blockbusters, American Pie: Beta House at the very least delivers in the T&A department…

Penis biting snakes, flipping golf carts, and pooing in a plumbing store. If these things interest you, then Jackass 2.5 is your DVD.

A poorly thought out animation “experience” from the early 90s that saw a variety of Nintendo licensed characters battling other various Nintendo licensed characters.

With multiple storylines, a funky theme song and animated credits, Superbad would have made a good T.V. show. Imagine Freaks and Geeks with South Park crudeness.

The third title in a series is like middle age for movies. By now audiences know what to expect.

David Fincher’s Zodiac may not the film his fans and critics expected — but it was certainly good.

The shorts collected in The Chronological Donald: Volume Three are uneven, ranging from the lovely to the disposable.

Two strangers find love through music — will we find love through DVD?

With the exception of an archive release that was made for laserdisc originally (like Dragon’s Lair), I’ve always found DVD games to be awkward and hard to play.

The plot is ridiculous, the characters largely unlikable, and the comedy is forced.
