Breaking news: In The Duchess, Keira Knightly stars in a period film.

New Quantum of Solace Trailer

Here's the latest Quantum of Solace movie trailer.

The movie comes out in November of 2008 - and we cannot wait!

 

Reel Movie Reviews: Ghost Town

Appropriately, Ghost Town is being released in what is generally considered the grave yard at the box office.

Late summer releases are deemed as lacking the clout to compete with super heroes in June and July, while also falling short on the Oscar buzz required to fare well in the fall.

This Ricky Gervais comedy may fit both of those qualifications, but that doesn't mean it isn't a hoot. Check out our Ghost Town review now and see why.

Reel Movie Reviews: Righteous Kill

Righteous Kill features Al Pacino and Robert De Niro... and a bad plot.

The movie takes forever to get going; and, when it finally does, the story has been drained of all its drama.

Still, the film does star a pair of acting legends, along with the beautiful Carla Gugino. Read more of our Righteous Kill review now.

Reel Movie Reviews: Burn After Reading

Burn After Reading might not be the most fun you have at the movies this year, but it'll be awfully close!

Taking a break from the serious, albeit Oscar winning, tone of their previous film - No Country for Old Men - the Coen Brothers place actors such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt in roles with which they can just riff.

The plot may require a few convenient devices in order to move along, but who cares? No one on screen is taking anything too seriously. You shouldn't be, either.

Reel Movie Reviews: Bangkok Dangerous

Somehow, the 1995 movie Leaving Las Vegas produced an Academy Award win for Nicolas Cage and a nomination for Elizbaeth Shue. Neither star has come close to replicating that success in the 13 years since.

Now, each is starring in a new movie. Shue is actually receiving rave reviews for her part in Hamlet 2, but we can't say the same for Cage.

His one-note performance in Bangkok Dangerous isn't enough to overcome a tiresome story about a retiring assassin. We've seen it all before: the killer with a conscience, the chase sequences through the streets of a dimly-lit city, Cage's monotone.

Those are just a few of the reasons why our Bangkok Dangerous review is less than stellar. Check it out in full now.

Reel Movie Reviews: The Women

There's nary a man to be seen in the trailer for The Women.

But in the summer of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, maybe this isn't a bad thing. The movie has certainly chosen the ideal time to be released.

Thanks to its charming cast, our all-male staff actually didn't mind The Women. Check out our full review of it now!

Reel Movie Reviews: Office Space

We needed to write a review about Office Space.

The film may have come out in 1999, but with College and Disaster Movie trying to pass themselves off as comedies these days, it was imperative to remind readers about what true comedy is all about.

Cubicle frustration. Copy machine hatred. Bitter dudes named Michael Bolton.

That's where the laughter is at.

The Bobs, Peter

Peter might not be missing work... but you'll be missing out if you don't read our Office Space review!

 

Reel Movie Reviews: College

College seems to think it's a 21st century Animal House.

Let's just show how crazy life can be at a big-time university and hilarity will ensue, right? Wrong.

It takes more than passed out girls and drunken fraternity brothers to make us laugh. See what else the movie has to offer, or not offer, with our College movie review.

Reel Movie Reviews: Disaster Movie

We can't believe we're saying this, but Disaster Movie is no Scary Movie. It's not even a Date Movie.

While those spoof-riffic films had their funny moments, the latest installment of this Insert Generic Adjective Movie franchise can only be proud of the speed in which it was cranked out. The film makes fun of other films from this summer.

Amy Winehouse Mockery

The problem is that those movies already mock themselves. Case in point: The Love Guru. How can you spoof a flick everyone hated, largely because the main character was already unfunny and over the top?
