Riding high on the James Bond/spy wave, some of the most memorable movies from the 1960s are international affairs, with art and jewel thievery being a completely reasonable career choice. Thankfully, 1968’s “Grand Slam,” does nothing to dispel any of these cliches.
It’s not like you haven’t seen this one before. Two people don’t get along, they’re forced together… Will they find love? In Sandra Bullock’s movie, “The Proposal,” writer Pete Chiarelli shakes things up a little bit. (But only a little bit.)
There is no way to get past how ridiculous Matt Damon looks in ‘The Informant.’ He’s gained weight, changed his hair, and fits the role of the awkward bi-polar whistleblower perfectly.

In the Presley movie, he plays Walter Gulick, just …
Only Quentin Tarantino could make a World War II movie like this. “Inglourious Basterds,” is a more of a pastiche of the second World War than a accurate, detailed and correct study of the events of what happened in Nazi-occupied France.
I’ve heard a lot about ‘District 9,’ from amazing to overrated. ‘District 9’ is a project that came out of the defunct ‘Halo’ film that was supposed to be produced by Peter Jackson, and directed by Neill Blomkamp. Based on Blomkamp’s sci-fi short, Alive in Joburg, ‘District 9’ is a very original, extremely entertaining sci-fi …
