When I first heard the premise of Slumdog Millionaire, I didn't think it could possibly be good. I'm so sick of the TV show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Why do I want to see a film . . .

Some stories need to be told. The stories of the unsung heroes of World War II, the Germans involved in the uprising against their own government, are certainly among the tales that need to be brought . . .

More often than not, when I see a film about to premiere I look at the credits, sizing up the crew that put that particular piece together. And again, more often than not, when I see at that helm . . .

I think it's safe to say that a trip through wine country isn't for everyone. That being said, I think Sideways might have a similar niche market. Critical acclaim aside, this . . .

Sometimes it's nice to be surprised. The trailers for this film left the impression that The Girl Next Door was to be a below average and crude film, who's funniest moments were given away . . .
