Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and many men feel that annual obligation to sit through a romantic movie with their honeys. This year, why don’t you order in some great take out, a bottle of her favourite beverage and your own brew, and get a couple of DVDs that won’t bore you to tears or make you laugh in the wrong places.

With eight Academy Award nominations, including best picture, Milk has established itself as one of the best movies of the year

Last year’s release of the film version of the video game Max Payne was negatively received by critics but supported by loyal gamers, garnering $84 million in box office sales worldwide.

Remember those movies that you would watch on Saturday afternoons growing up (or in college and too drunk/ hung over to care) that were just incredibly dumb, but somehow you just could not bring yourself to change the channel?

There’s something unnerving about knowing when exactly you’re going to die. In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of the same name), it doesn’t take too long for the title character to figure this out.

Movies can do a great many things. They can make us laugh, cry, grip the edge of our seats, and believe in the unbelievable. They have been known to spotlight social issues and even be the vehicle for change. Sadly, Babylon A.D. tries to do all of those things.

Fans of Jim Carrey, listen up: our rubber faced hero is back in action.

Jim stars as Carl Allen, a man who simply cannot say “yes” to anything in his life: his friends, his work, or to the notion of living his life.

By now most Saw fans would deem the franchise longwinded and pointless, as they respectfully should. Surprisingly, last year’s Saw IV found enough plot holes to keep Jigsaw’s (Bell) legacy alive for yet another 2 films (that’s right, Lionsgate approved three sequels after III).
