Review by Tom Burns  Despite how you feel about the final product, you have to admit that The Foot Fist Way, a long buzzed-about indie comedy about a strip-mall Tae Kwan Do sensei, has a pretty damn original marketing campaign - a campaign that basically boils down to "Very funny people ...Read more

   Review by Brian Tallerico Workplace comedies are a dime a dozen. The fact is, for every instant cult classic like Office Space, there are a dozen Mad Moneys. Steve Conrad's directorial debut (his screenwriting credits include The Weather Man and The Pursuit of Happyness) is a confident and clever character study ...Read more

 Review by Brian Tallerico More than anything else, You Don't Mess With the Zohan is proof that Adam Sandler can get anything he want green-lit. Seriously, can you think of another actor who could go to a studio with the story of an Israeli soldier who wants to be a hairdresser, ...Read more

 Review by Brian Tallerico There's been an interesting trend in CGI animated films over the last few years - they've become commonplace. The "wow" factor has worn off as each summer has seen more and more throwaway animated films like The Ant Bully, Open Season, and Surf's Up. Despite occasional advancements ...Read more

This was originally supposed to be a compilation of the best adaptations of Marvel Comics. But when we realized the list would be limited to Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and Iron Man, we felt that would be just a bit too obvious. So, we here at MovieRetriever.com ...Read more

 Occasionally, certain movies inspire so much critical debate that it's necessary to have more than one critic weigh in on the issue. Keeping that in mind, we here at MovieRetriever invited two of our editors to weigh in on the new M. Night Shyamalan thriller, The Happening, which hits theatres ...Read more

Review by Brian Tallerico I've got good news and bad news. The Incredible Hulk isn't nearly as awful as its previews made it out to be, but it also isn't nearly as good as it could have been. If anything, Hulk is further proof that the superhero genre has entered its ...Read more

To honor the release of the big screen adaptation of Get Smart (with apologies to the earlier Don Adams vehicle The Nude Bomb), we’ve decided to compile a list of some of the movies based on much-loved television shows that probably would have been best left in development. We’ll hope ...Read more

Review by Brian Tallerico Do you think it took this long to bring Get Smart to the big screen because producers knew the potential for title-based anti-quotes was just too easy? Just let me get this out of my system - "'Get Stupid' is more like it!" "There's nothing 'Smart' about ...Read more

 Review by Brian Tallerico Someone needs to be punished. The Love Guru isn't just your average bad movie. Smoothly limbo-ing below already low expectations, this "alleged" comedy is the kind of cultural and comedic offense that audiences should demand retribution after seeing. And just giving them back their money won’t do. ...Read more

The Hound is a busy dog – filming a cameo for Soderbergh's Che one day, cataloging his collection of Shannon Tweed production stills the next – so he doesn’t always have the time to write 2500-word opuses on the latest Picturehouse or "Corey Feldman Presents" DVD. But that doesn’t mean ...Read more

 Review by Brian Tallerico There's almost always something negative that can be said about a movie. Even some of the best in Hollywood history were "a bit too long" or had a performance or two that didn't totally work. Show me a classic, I'll show you something wrong with it. I’m ...Read more

Review by Brian Tallerico The guilty pleasure of the year has finally arrived. The movie that you'll be slightly ashamed to admit you secretly love - and that you'll probably end up watching on cable long after the "bigger" movies from Summer '08 have faded from memory - is called Wanted, ...Read more

Now that our critic at large, Brian Tallerico, has given his opinion on The Love Guru, we here at MovieRetriever.com thought you might enjoy an additional perspective from a VideoHound editor on the film. So, without further adieu, here is the opinion of... Turk182: While The Love Guru has its ...Read more

The Hound is a busy dog – giving Guillermo Del Toro notes on his Hobbit script one day, updating his Brangelina fan site the next – so he doesn’t always have the time to write 2,500-word opuses on the latest Sony Pictures Classics or "Masters of Horror" DVD. But that ...Read more
