Creep Show: Review for "Vacancy"
The thriller Vacancyis your standard issue slasher film, but it’s better. Amy (Kate Beckinsale) and David (Luke Wilson) are on the verge of divorce. They’ve recently come from their parents’ wedding anniversary when they need to stop at a strange gas station to get some help. The guy who “fixes” their car makes it worse [...]
The Bets: Who I Think Will Win
Best Actor will definitely go to Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood. He’s a brilliant actor and he’s given a great performance. But I think Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd deserves it. He’s scary and he slashes and he sings. Best Actress is a tough one, with the brilliant Julie Christie as an Alzheimer’s [...]
You Can Never Have Too Much "Spam": Review for "Spamalot"

Big (Stupid) Brothel: Review for Moulin Rouge!
I know that those who know Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann will hate me for saying that I hate his movies. I have so far seen his MTV-era adaptation of William Skaespeare’s Romeo + Juliet and his love story-filled-with-old-songs tale Moulin Rouge! and have been so scarred from those viewings, I’m scared to see his first [...]
