"One Night at McCool's," is a good movie. Not a great movie, but good nonetheless.
"O Brother, Where Art Thou?" -- the new film from the Coen brothers -- is a fantastic comedy with elements of true genius. The Coen brothers have made a name for themselves with their previous movies, which include "Fargo" and "Raising Arizona," and "Brother" is likely to only increase their already impressive stature in Hollywood.
What happens when you take a confirmed male chauvinist and magically grant him the ability to hear everything that happens inside the minds of women? Apparently you produce a hit movie and make a lot of money at the box-office. This is the general plot of the new Mel Gibson comedy "What Women Want," which, while amusing in parts, is a film that manages to be totally empty and predictable.
"Charlie's Angels" is a terrible, terrible movie.
"Bedazzled" is light, fun and quite amusing. When I went to see the film, one of my friends ended up laughing so hard that the other audience members were shooting us dirty looks.
There is in this world a path of enlightenment that is superior to all other paths. Where truth is the final goal of all other paths, this path carries the greater reward of allowing its practitioners to get with any woman they want. This path is "The Tao of Steve."
"Nurse Betty" is not what you think it is. I don't really care what you might believe this film is about -- you are utterly and totally wrong.
The first thing I have to say about "Wonder Boys" is GO SEE THIS MOVIE! I don't care who you are or what kind of movies you normally like. As long as you are not missing a large portion of your frontal lobe, you must see "Wonder Boys."
"Where the Money Is" is a nicely done movie that everyone should go to in order to feel good about themselves. Especially if you happen to endorse a lifestyle of amorality. The film stars Paul Newman as an old bank robber who fakes being brain-dead in order to escape his life sentence in prison. Because the prison hospitals are so crowded, he's shipped off to an old folks' home in a backwater town.
Okay, so I'm supposed to do a review of Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather." I'm pretty sure that most of you out there have already seen the movie because it is the quintessential mafia flick. "The Godfather" is one of the films that made Coppola's reputation as a great director and it is, in fact, a great movie.
"The Cider House Rules" is a wonderful film with excellent production values and a super cast. It's a coming of age story that lacks the sticky sweetness so commonly found in movies of that type, instead choosing to hit the viewer with a solid dose of ugly reality.
There is very little that has not already been said about "The Shawshank Redemption," playing tonight as part of the Dartmouth Film Society "Movies of the Nineties" series. It is recognized in the general populace, if not necessarily in critical circles, as a wonderful movie with a great story and good acting.
I have never owned an album by the Sneaker Pimps. I have heard very good things about their music from various sources and so was pretty excited when I found out I was going to do a review on their latest release. Unfortunately, the buzz was wrong. Admittedly I don't know that much about techno, but good music is good music and "Becoming Remixed" is not good music.
Sometimes a chain of seemingly unrelated incidents come together to form a cohesive conclusion. "Life & Sex & Step & Flow" is the product of one of those chains. Created by Dartmouth students Tom Beale '00 and Jamie Fisher '99, this is a short, homemade video currently on sale for five dollars a copy.
What do you get if you mix all of the classics of board-gaming? Well, if you put together Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, Guesstures, Taboo and Balderdash, apparently you come up with Cranium.
Have you ever had a dream that was simply too big and too important? A dream that you just had to follow? Joe Buck, played by Jon Voight, has a dream like that. He wants to be a big-time gigolo in New York City. More than anything in life, Joe Buck is good at one thing, and that thing is screwing and he figures he's good enough at it to get paid for it in the classic film, "Midnight Cowboy."
"Pleasantville," written and directed by Gary Ross, is a whimsical and uplifting movie that tells the story of two modern teenagers who are sucked into a 1950s television series named, well, "Pleasantville."
In a world where alternative music is quickly becoming mainstream, it's nice to know that there are still groups that remain truly nontraditional. Uakti (pronounced wah-ke-chee) is most definitely one of those groups.
Do you like Christmas? I mean, do you really like Christmas? So much so that you would buy an album which consisted entirely of Christmas music?
Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" is a violently epic portrayal of urban life and all its disillusionments. Starring Robert DeNiro as Travis Bickle, a slightly insane cabbie, the movie follows his adventures through New York City, a place Travis describes as a cesspool breeding human filth. It is Travis' fondest desire to take a hose to all of New York and leave it spotless and empty, disposing of the human refuse and mundane variety.
