The hype turned out to be more than the actual event.

Mamma Mia: Laughable, For the Wrong Reasons

Elle Mohs
August 29, 2008

The popular summer release Mamma Mia, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, was a cute, peppy musical, but definitely one of the worst to hit the big screen in a while.

Pixar Studios created a family-friendly reputation with its animated crowd-pleasers over the last decade, but Pixar’s latest film, Wall-e, resembles more of a crowd-mesmerizer that doesn’t just entertain a kid and his parents, but his non-conformist teenage sister, second grade teacher, cranky... Read more »

Beautiful scenery doesn’t save Fool’s Gold

March 19, 2008

When I first saw the commercial for Fool’s Gold, I thought “a simple, romantic comedy in a nice tropical setting with good-looking actors…maybe I’ll get a few laughs.” However, the shots of beautiful beach scenery and Matthew McConaughey’s abs are about all the movie has to offer. The producers... Read more »
