*1/2 out of **** "Alice in Wonderland" is quite possibly the most boring film Tim Burton has ever made. It is so boring - and tedious, and maddening, and flat - that it comes off … more

*** out of **** Here's a movie that goes big and attempts to re-write the rules of an age-old genre and emerges with delightfully mixed but exciting results. In "Beetlejuice", a … more
I just watched this movie last night for the first time in around 20 years, and it's still a barrel of fun after all these years!! This movie is quite darker than the animated series that … more

Yuck. As someone who enjoyed the Godzilla movies a lot when I was younger (even if a lot of them seem rather cheesy as an adult), this movie is a total disgrace to the Godzilla name. Roland … more
You may be wondering what exactly I mean by that title. What I mean is that it's widely-believed that the Matrix is one of the best sci-fi action films ever made. Oh what a grand lie that is. By the … more
So, no one ever told me the original Planet of the Apes movie was about religion! Now I can finally see what everyone had against the Tim Burton remake which came out a few years ago. (I was not a fan … more
As I said before, the character of The Incredible Hulk is like instant pudding: impossible to screw up. There can't be anything too difficult about a man who rages out into a giant green monster … more

I'm man enough to admit that I cried like a girl (Not trying to be chauvinistic here) during the last part of this movie. It was so bloody sad. Literally a 22nd Century Pinocchio Story Involving a … more

RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about Star Wars Trilogy.
March 10, 2012
While I like the original Star Wars Trilogy, I think it's massively overrated. I think it's overrated because when you get down to it, it's a pretty simple "good vs evil" tale merely … more
*** out of **** It's not easy having to review the sequel to a movie that you so passionately cherish, but here it goes. As it is, I have just started playing the theme from the … more
*** out of **** A movie as perplexing as "The Box" is a rare find, especially when it's a very mainstream picture. But then again, it isn't easy to imagine that Richard Kelly, whose … more
* out of **** "The Messengers" is a derivative and boring horror film so utterly desperate to find a style that it feels the need to have a dull black-and-white opening sequence. … more
While sharing a kiss at inspiration point, teenager Steve Andrews (Steve McQueen) and his date, Jane, see what looks like a falling star crash land and go to find it. First on the spot, however, is an … more

One of the worst movies of all time and easily the worst Batman movie ever made. I saw this turd in the theaters back in 1997 and even as a 9 year-old who didn't take film seriously, I still hated … more

Supremely disappointing. It had the potential of being the metaphor for late 20th century man where you can love but touching is potentially fatal (AIDS still had no effective treatment). Instead it's … more

RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about The Running Man.
January 01, 2012
Much like the other Schwarzenegger movie Commando (1985), this is a fine example of a "feel good" action movie. If you're having a bad day, this movie will cheer you up. The 80's interpretation of the … more
* out of **** Sometimes, I'm afraid I wonder just a bit too much. When I approached "Scrooged", I wondered whether a modernized spin on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" could … more
