Comics fans will find continuity galore in this story, penned by comics veteran Judd Winick, but even casual fans will find plenty to love in this dark little tale. IUnder the Red HoodI is packed to the gills with fan service, but it still explains everything sufficiently to entertain the folks who didnt even know there had been more than one Robin.

Billy Crudup hires Paul Giamatti to build him a rocket belt. Then things get weird.

IThe LosersI wins the award for being the best movie to have on in a gymstrip club entryway. When pro wrestling is just too real for you, find this on cable.

I just hopped in a time machine and went to five years from now, and nobody remembers this movie. But for now, its not the worst thing with subtitles.

Have you ever fantasized about your significant other and another partner? If not, IChloeI may still entertain you with all the sexy mystery. But if so, this will be right up your alley. Oh, and call me.

When you have a movie called IHot Tub Time Machinei, you kind of know what youre getting into. ISnakes on a Planei went with that title because it was trying to poke fun at the conventions of the genre it was in. IHTTMi is clearly doing the same thing, and in many respects, that tongue-in-cheek approach to the story works well. It also manages to remind us all what an utter fashion disaster the 1980s were. Im surprised more people didnt go blind if the world really was as colorful as those ski slopes of 1986.

A group of survivors getting picked off one by one...check. At least one is assumed to be infected, but isnt...check. The governmentmilitary response is overly zealous but ultimately incompetent...check. The lead and his lady love separate and she becomes the target of an attack...check. The lead and his lady love survive through the tragic sacrifice of a close friend...check. A shock ending reveals the horror isnt over yet...check.

Some day iTransformersi will look like the original iClash of the Titansi. The only way to combat the inevitable is with subtlety and by not letting special effects take over the film. It is for this exact reason that John McTiernans iPredatori remains a solid action film to this day.

Lets get this out of the way: Colin Firth, as George, is really the sole reason to see this film. Hes a great actor in a decent role who just kicks ass every time hes on the screen which is pretty much every scene. Georges loss, his hopelessness, and the touches of life he enjoys on what is supposed to be his last day are conveyed brilliantly by Firth. His Oscar nomination was well deserved.

The film version by director Niels Arden Oplev is a faithful adaptation of the novel...perhaps too faithful to work completely as cinema, but well-produced nonetheless.

Whats left to say about iShowgirlsi? We all know that its one of the worst movies ever made, but it has been dragged through the mud more that a 10-year-old on a Radio Flyer over its now 15-year career. At this point, telling you about the awful dialogue or how dreadful iSaved by the Bellsi Elizabeth Berkley is would just be belaboring the same points that have been hammered home for the last decade and a half. Instead, you should accept this movie for what it really is, one of the all-time great party-pleasers and the most entertaining piece of cinema for all the wrong reasons of the past 20 years.

Every once in a while I think you should step outside your comfort zone and try something new. An indie romance about a love triangle between young New Yorkers easily falls into this category for me unless one leg of the triangle has superpowers, or is an alien, or maybe a serial killer, or a super-powered alien serial killer.

iPercy Jacksoni feels like a cheat on a bunch of levels. Too many of its beats and scenes are copied right out of the Hogwarts playbook. Most of the challenges and obstacles in the story are overcome by Percys friends and family, not Percy himself. Even his dyslexia is a cheat. Were supposed to feel sorry for him and identify with his struggles because of it, except then we find out he doesnt actually have dyslexia. His brains just hardwired for ancient Greek because hes a demigod.

A mix of iBuffy the Vampire Slayeri, iKolchak: The Night Stalkeri, and iThe X-Filesi, ISupernaturali still manages to be its own thing in its first season. Its more like a miniature horror feature film each week. Most episodes provide full closure on the monster of the week, while a few begin to lay the foundation for the complex mythology that eventually dominates the series.

iPeacocki may wind up being one of those movies that few people see, but everyone who does seems to enjoy. Its not something to just throw on at a party to keep a group of friends amused, and its certainly not for everyone. But the right group of people in the right atmosphere will thoroughly enjoy the interesting and ultimately terrifying look into the world of schizophrenia that is iPeacocki.
