February 25, 2011 This Sunday marks the 83rd annual Academy Awards ceremony, the most glamorous night in Hollywood.

Movie Review- Unknown
February 21, 2011 If you were to take the “Bourne Identity” and add a little “Taken” and “The Fugitive” you get “Unknown”. Overall it’s not as good as those movies but still quite enjoyable, plus there’s a twist ending and those are always fun.

Review: ‘Hornet’ Car a Beauty, Rogen Bugs
January 17, 2011 Green Hornet co-writer, co-producer and star Seth Rogen is the weakest part of this superhero adventure. Hey, at least there's that awesome car.

“Country Strong” — Unrealized Potential
January 12, 2011 "Country Strong" may be just that -- strong country music, but it's not strong in storyline or acting. While it doesn't hit a sour note, it's still really disappointing. It had all the pieces to be really good.
