By FORCH F. FORTIER. I have always been a fan of Mike Myers.But after the 2008 film, The Love Guru, my faith in Myers has been shaken.Myers (Austin Powers), stars as Guru Maurice Pitka, the second most popular Guru, next to Deepak Chopra. This fact angers Pitka, who obsesses about being the greatest Guru in the world. Enter Jane Bullard, played by Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four), who is the owner

Or is he?Iron Man 2 takes place about six months after the first film, and continues the saga of the billionaire-playboy/international jet setter.But

By FORCH F. FORTIERThe right commercial can evoke the best response out of us all. We watch them, and maybe we use the product, maybe we don’t. But the memory of that commercial can live in our heads forever.Take for instance, The Old Spice commercial entitled “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like”. This commercial is simple, yet brilliant, and to top it all off it’s visually impressive.All it is,

By FORCH F. FortierThe Buddy Cop genre of film has been done to death, so how can an original twist be put on such an overworked and overdone film style?Why not make a movie about making a reality series?That’s pretty much the idea between the 2002 comedy, Showtime, starring Robert DeNiro and Eddie Murphy.Mitch Preston (DeNiro) is a no-nonsense Detective for the LAPD. Trey Sellars (Murphy) is a

It was a movie that revolutionized a genre of film, shattered box office records and cemented an action star’s legacy forever!What is the film in question? 2002’s xXxStarring world-renowned action star, Vin Diesel (The Fast and the Furious, The Pacifier) as Xander Cage, aka: xXx.The film starts off as an agent of the NSA gets killed trying to escape a group of thugs within a Rammstein concert.

Pound for pound, Sean Connery is one of the greatest on-screen presences of all time. Proof of this would be the 2000 film, Finding Forrester.Connery stars as the title character of the film, William Forrester, a former Pulitzer Prize winning author, living as a recluse in an apartment in The Bronx, N.Y.The protagonist of the film is Jamal Wallace, played by Rob Brown (Coach Carter, The Express),

There is a reason why Mel Brooks’ movies are timeless. He has an uncanny knack for making films that no matter when they’re made; they have a quality about them that never feels dated.1993’s Robin Hood: Men in Tights is no exception.Starring Cary Elwes (Hot Shots!, Days of Thunder) as the title character, Men in Tights is your typical spoof comedy with a distinct Brooks style to it. The story is

Oh, if only we could boldly go where no one has gone before.For now, we’ll just have to settle for the cinemas. And what better way to boldly go, with the 2009 film, Star Trek.Now before you start groaning, and think, no another Star Trek film, think again.Directed and Produced by J.J. Abrams (Creator of TV’s Lost and Fringe), Star Trek serves as an entirely new jumping point for the franchise.

Sometimes, a movie comes out which paints a bleak vision of the future of the human race, a vision in which our worst characteristics are shown, bright as day, even though they’re as dark as night.This bleak vision of the future is painted brilliantly in the 2009 movie, Pandorum.Starring Dennis Quaid (Frequency, The Rookie) as Payton And Ben Foster (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Punisher) as Bower,

But perhaps the greatest of those idiots was Derek Zoolander.Zoolander, the title character of the 2001 comedy, is perhaps one of the dumbest protagonists in the history of film, and Stiller (Meet the Parents, Tropic Thunder) pulls it off with such panache, that you can’t help but chuckle.The plot is basic.

It all started with a burglary in 1973, and it ended up being one of the most controversial events of the 20th Century. That event was Watergate. A nation was left forever changed due to the events of that scandal. But what were the series of events that lead up to this toppling of a government? All [or at least some] of the answers to that question are answered in the 1976 film, All the

What is it with Guy Ritchie and “Caper” films??? Is the man really a one-trick pony?That is at least what I think.After watching 2008’s RocknRolla, I am starting to think so.Ritchie, whose previous forays in directing include Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch, as well as the 2009 Blockbuster: Sherlock Holmes, really did not stray too much from the formula this outing.RocknRolla

By FORCH F. FORTIERIt’s a fact. Comic book movies tend to make the best scripts for Hollywood films for one main reason. They capture the imagination of the reader, and are played out visually like a screenplay.Nowhere is this more prevalent than in Warner Bros.’ latest offering: The Losers.Based on the DC/Vertigo book of the same name, written by Andy Diggle, The Losers is an action-lover’s

Sometimes, a movie comes along that once you've seen the trailer, you have no choice but to see that movie. For me, there are four words that come to mind. Hot Tub Time Machine. Just the title alone is enough to make even the most serious film fan cringe in terror, but for me, this is going to be a guilty pleasure gone wild. The premise?
