You ever wish you could turn back the clock and see where the stars of the moment were a while back?  EMPIRE RECORDS is a movie that will take you back 14 years to see where:  Liv Tyler (The Incredible Hulk), Debi Mazar (Entourage), Anthony LaPaglia (With Out A Trace), Rory Cochrane ... »

Written by: AnnieG  (A Work in Progress & Personal Essay) I could make a case that we have all some how lost our way when it comes to romance but since no one uses words under the pretence of their of their original meaning any more I’m almost certain it would fall on deaf ears. ... »

HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU really does deliver on everything it promises in the trailer and then some.  This truly is a chick flick guys can go watch with their girlfriends and enjoy.  Well, I won’t lie to you and say that all couples will come out of this winners.  It really is... »

Tyler Perry really is one of my favourites.  I don’t think this filmmaker gets enough credit for his ability to incorporate good values into great film making.  I truly enjoy all types and sorts of points of views when it comes to movies, but, I must say that I feel really good after watching... »

APPALOOSAreally turned out to be the right movie for Ed Harris to star in and direct.  I It’s aslow paced film in the way films should be slow paced: to allow for characterdevelopment and subtle plot development.  The reason you’re not bothered by the film’s pace is that it’s filled by the relationship between... »

This is a picture I wasn’t jazzed up to see but that turned out alright.  Lots of interesting characters, concepts, possibilities etc.  There are many cases for the television series turned feature film why not turn this feature film into a television series?  I could see this bad boy on a nine o’clock maybe... »

UNLEASHED is nothing short of a kick-ass-movie.  Not only is it an extraordinary idea (horrific as it may be) but it is a beautiful narrative that despite it’s violent content is quite beautiful to watch.  The cast is sublime: Jet Li, Morgan Freeman, and Bob Hoskins.  Another wonderfully written piece by Luc Besson... »

This movie is both cute and funny. Do I think I would go see it again in the cinema?–no.  It’s a chick flick through and through and if you aren’t in "girlfriend" mode you really won’t like it.  I think what really makes this film work is the casting.  We like these people because we... »

This is the Valentine Movie List according to MOI right now.  I may change my mind next year, but, this is what feels like the best (in retrospect) from the present moment.  (There’s a lot to mull over in the time space continuum of movie lists…I bet you other movie reviewers aren’t that honest…but... »

I speculated soon after watching this film that the character "Poppy" must have been Mike Leigh’s subtle allusion that we’d all be better off if we were main lining heroin and be a little more like Poppy going through our own lives–and I am joking when I say that.  This is a lovely... »
