No vacation found in 'The Island'

By John Kim | July 28, 2005

While shooting the asteroid opus "Armageddon," Ben Affleck reportedly asked director Michael Bay why NASA would train a group of drillers to become astronauts, when training astronauts to become drillers would be infinitely easier. Bay responded by telling Affleck to shut up. That says everything you need to know about Michael Bay, currently competing with partner-in-crap Brett Ratner for the title of "World's Worst Director." The shame is not in being outsmarted by Ben Affleck, who is actually known for his deceptive intelligence (if not his discerning taste in movie roles or women). Rather, the story demonstrates Bay's complete disregard for anything resembling coherence in his productions. Some critics might tell you that the "The Island" is smarter than the cinematic turds that Bay has released in the past.

Crowe wins over audiences with 'Cinderella Man'

By Amie Sugarman | June 28, 2005

Although a 19-year-old girl is not the most likely person to love a boxing movie, the addition of several of the best actors in Hollywood, a renowned director, and one of the most unbelievable true sports stories of the century makes this quite possible in Ron Howard's "Cinderella Man," starring Russell Crowe as the Depression-era boxer, James Braddock. The film opens on Braddock as a rising boxing star in 1928, living in a wealthy New Jersey suburb with his beautiful wife, Mae (Renee Zellweger), and their three children.

Oasis returns to the arena with 'Don't Believe The Truth'

By Caroline McKenzie | June 23, 2005

Does the fact that only five of the songs on the newest Oasis album, "Don't Believe The Truth," are actually penned by Noel Gallagher make the album actually more representative (democratically) of Oasis, or less like Oasis (artistically)? Does the fact that Ringo Starr's son (Zak Starkey) drums on the album mean that the brothers Gallagher have gone further in their miming of the Beatles?

While not entirely soft and smooth, 'Sith' atones for prior disasters

By Chetan Mehta | May 23, 2005

The most anticipated movie event of the year is here, and thankfully, it does not disappoint. In "Star Wars: Episode III " Revenge of the Sith," Lucas has carefully melded emotion, adventure and tragedy to deliver the best entry in the series since "The Empire Strikes Back." Disgruntled fans and cynical critics take note: not only is this film vastly superior to the other prequels, but it also ends cinema's most beloved series with a resounding triumph. The film starts out with a rousing space battle in which Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) are engaged in a skirmish with a Sith Starfleet.
