 | A Tale Nearly Two Decades In The Making After nineteen years of mishaps, pratfalls, and screwups, the epically moronic Homer Simpson finally has his shining moment of glory in the big screen version of "The Simpsons". I think not. One of America’s favorite idiots is in fine form in his big screen debut.More |  | A Tale of Good Sheep Gone BAAAAD! 40 million sheep reside in New Zealand. Fluffy, white, friendly sheep lope around beautiful green pastures without a care in the world. Well, there are the periodic sheerings, occasionally unfortunate shaggings, and the painfully necessary slaughterings. But, otherwise all is well in the sheep world. That is until one overly ambitious sheep farmer; Angus Oldfield (Peter Feeney) sets his sights on creating an über-sheep.More |  | Jilted at the Altar [b]License to Wed[/b] is the kind of film that has all the potential in the world to be enormously funny. You’ve got Robin Williams playing a manic, wacky reverend who specializes in a "marriage preparation course". You have an attractive, funny, soon-to-be wed couple in Mandy Moore as Sadie and John Krasinski as Ben. You even have a director who has helmed several hysterical episodes of NBC’s sitcom hit, "The Office". The end result is something far from hysterical.More |  | Roll Out! It’s not uncommon for huge expectations to be thrust upon your average summer tentpole flick. These films often make or break a studio for the year. Enter the most anticipated summer film in years, [b]Transformers[/b]. You’ve got diehard transformer geeks who expect a film that will be true to the spirit of the cartoons, a $150 million dollar budget to recoup, and a ton of summer blockbusters already in the theater to compete with.More |  | Released on Sony Legacy, 8/7/07 The first lady of jazz is back…well, in a manner of speaking. Billie Holiday, one of the most talented and renowned female jazz crooners has some of her finest original recordings "remixed and reimagined" by a number of DJs, producers, and artists such as Tony Humphries, Nickodemus, Ladybug Mecca, DJ Logic, and a litany of others. Appropriately enough, this compilation is entitled [b]Billie Holiday: Remixed and Reimagined[/b].More |  | The Yippie Ki Yay is Back… If Sylvester Stallone can slap on the gloves for a sixth time in [b]Rocky Balboa[/b], the idea of Bruce Willis bellowing "Yippie Ki Yay…" a few more times in yet another installment of [b]Die Hard[/b] is no less plausible. The everyman, down-on-his-luck-cop John McClane is back in [b]Live Free or Die Hard[/b]. He’s older, he’s balder, but he can still take a shot and gives as good as he gets.More |  | Nearly Fantastic The sequel onslaught continues with the second Marvel Comics inspired film of the summer, [b]Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer[/b]. The fantastic foursome -- Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), The Human Torch (Chris Evans), The Thing (Michael Chiklis), and Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba) -- find themselves in quite a quandary as the enigmatic entity known as "The Silver Surfer" pays a visit to Earth in preparation for the planet’s ultimate destruction at the hands of the planet hungry Galactus. Naturally, this minor wrinkle derails the imminent wedding of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. Such is the plight of your average superhero.More |  | Released on Virgin Records, 7/17/2007 A red haired, piercingly green eyed siren helms the band known as A Fine Frenzy. Allison Sudol is said siren. Strikingly beautiful, she’d make just about anyone swoon with a brief fleeting gaze. Fortunately, Sudol is not a one trick pony. Her vertigo inducing appearance is matched by powerful pipes and a poignant musical sensibility that just may elevate Allison and the rest of her fine frenzy into public consciousness.More |  | What are the odds of this one being entertaining? Truly, 2007 is shaping up to be the "summer of sequels". It’s barely June and we’ve seen [b]Shrek 3[/b], [b]Spiderman 3[/b], [b]Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End[/b], and now we have yet another installment of the adventures of the 21st century’s ratpack, [b]Ocean’s Thirteen[/b]. An lucky number? Perhaps. But, with a cast including the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon at the very least we’ve got some good eye candy if nothing else. Fortunately, this one delivers a little bit more than just eye candy.More |  | Where Babies Come From In 2005, we were blessed with one of the most brilliantly conceived comedies ever in writer/director Judd Apatow’s [b]The 40 Year Old Virgin[/b]. Two years later and Apatow is back with [b]Knocked Up[/b]. The premise of Apatow’s latest is perhaps as absurd as his directorial debut 2 years ago. In short, a deadbeat stoner somehow manages a one night stand with a driven, gorgeous blonde and naturally, she ends up "knocked up".More |
