Film Review: The Dark Knight
Through twenty years of life, I can say without hesitation that no movie during that time has been hyped as much as The Dark Knight. The sequel to the excellent Batman Begins attacked a long while back with a brilliant viral marketing scheme, and has held the film and comic worlds hostage ever since it was announced.

Film Review: Semi-Pro
The heavily promoted and Old Spice affiliated film Semi-Pro stars Will Ferrell as a basketball owner/player. Unfortunately, the unfunny trailers exactly depict the lack of laughs in the movie. You can read the rest of this review if you want, but I have to warn you now to not see this complete failure. Read on »
