Movie Trailer: The Croods (2013)

Apparently even in prehistoric times, mothers are abhorred by their daughters’ husbands. It, and many others, is a running joke in DreamWorks upcoming animated adventure The Croods. Nic Cage voices Grug, the overprotective father, husband and mother-in-law hater, who, after their cave is destroyed, must find his family a new home. With the help of…

Movie Review: The Oranges (2011)

The Oranges borrowed the underlying suburban malaise of “American Beauty” and remolded it into a comedy. West Orange, New Jersey resembles the 2000 Best Picture winner but the atmosphere is different.

The truth is that it is a formulaic and dull film whose predictability, especially after the first 45 minutes, is almost total….

Movie Review: The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

Hip hip hooray! Hip hip horray! I’ve waited patiently for a good comedy to come along and make me laugh. And since Hollywood hasn’t done much of a job coming out with anything worthwhile for quite sometime, I decided to pin my hopes on gut-wrenching adolescent humor on The 40 Year Old Virgin. I wasn’t…
