Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third in the trilogy of 'toons about long lost animal ancestors.Once you're hooked, you're hooked so, for all the kidlets out there we provide a whole new mess of Ice Age Wallpapers for free downloads! |

Public Enemies stars Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as G-Man Melvin Purvis, who hunted Dillinger, and Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd and other tommy gun toting bank robbers of the 1930s.Another stunning film from director Michael Mann, as in the kind of stun a cow gets just before execution. Gun shots aside this is an incredibly boring piece of work. Cranky's movie review |

From Nia Vardalos, who scored with My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes I Hate Valentine's Day. You read that correctly, A Valentine's Day film released in July. No other critic we know got to see it either (our self included). Bad signs all around on this one. |

My Sister's Keeper stars Cameron Diaz and Abigail Breslin. Mom makes a second child to help treat cancer found in her first child. What looks like a major chick flick is truly a very good film for any adult male or female. Cranky's movie review
but for the ladies there is... |

Chéri stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend and Kathy Bates Set in France in the decades prior to the first World War it features a contracted love affair between a courtesan (prostitute to royalty) and the teenaged son of a former rival. For those insistent that there be an older woman/ younger man story for a change, this is it. Gorgeous photography overlays a dull story. But then, Cranky's a guy. Cranky's movie review. |

The Stoning of Soraya M. stars James Caviezel and a whole messa other actors you don't know in a tale of divorce in the Muslim world. You thought there was no divorce in Islam? There is if an unhappy husband can get a crooked cleric to declare the wife has cheated. The penalty for that is death. Critics we know are raving positive about the film. |

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is so dependent on its predecessor that it should have been named Transformers pt.2. It is incomprehensible to any newbie. Two hours of explosions, give or take, in a two and a half hour film bored us silly . . .which is why we brought a 16 year old with us to review the film. He spent his time afterwards calling friends to tell them about the film -- he loooved it and thought his uncle was out of (my) mind for not loving it -- instead of writing. We didn't hate everything. While Shia Labeouf is the name star, Megan Fox looks much better in a pair of tight jeans. John Turturro, Josh Duhamel and parental units Kevin Dunn and Julie White return with the whole mess of pro actors voicing the 'bots. You may grab your choice of wallpapers and posters from the film (papers from the first film, too) but that's about it.

The
Proposal stars Sandra Bullock
and Ryan Reynolds. She's a high powered book editor facing deportation
(to Canada) on a visa violation. He's her ground under her heel assistant and
unwilling fiance who turns the situation to his advantage at a family reunion.
The situation is old hat. The film is incredibly funny. Seriously. Our audience
was splitting sides, start to finish. Cranky's
movie review |

Year One from
very funny writer/director Harold Ramis and very funny star Jack Black
is . . . hold on to your shirts, folks . . . terrible (and that's putting it nicely).
For those who remember Mel Brook's History of the World, Part One, this
is a pale wannabee. For those that don't, get to a vidstore or netflix and save
some money. Michael Cera co-stars with Oliver Platt and Hank Azaria.

Whatever Works, from writer director Woody Allen, ultimately, doesn't. Larry David is in the hot seat as the older guy who finds a mutual attraction with a Southern belle (Evan Rachel Wood) he knows is way too young for him. Yeah, it's creepy but it's Woody Allen funny -- even if the jokes are running ragged with age. Things pick up with the arrival of parental units (Ed Begley Jr and Patricia Clarkson) but for those adults who'd rather wait, that's a good choice. Rent. |

The
Hangover may not star a lot of big comedy
names but it is very, very funny. Four males head to Las Vegas for a bachelor
party. Not only do they get so wasted that they lose the night, they also lose
the groom. Four letter words fly as fast and furiously as the jokes do and any
further attempt on our part to say more would wreck the fun. Okay... Heather
Graham adds some estrogen. And there's Chinese gangsters, a tiger and a baby
and boxing champ Mike Tyson, not necessarily in that order. Now go see
the thing. Cranky's movie review. |

We will continue to plug the, for the adult audience, Away We Go starring John Krasinsky and Maya Rudolph. She's newly pregnant. His parents, the only soon to be pair of grandparents (aka babysitters) drop the bomb that they are leaving the country, What's left for our heroes is a road trip in search of a new place to live and, perhaps, a new job for the male (She illustrates biology textbooks). Plus reunions with old friends and loved ones, all of whom are nuttier than the proverbial fruitcakes, in their own way. Grownups shall have a wonderful time! Find it and see it! |

Moon (ltd) stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell, the lone inhabitant of an automated mining operation on the moon. With only Gerty the computer (Kevin Spacey) to talk to, and two weeks to go on his three year contract, Sam thinks he is losing his sanity. Sam's a real smart guy. Cranky's movie review |
