The Ugly Truth: Lewdly Annoying

Posted by betweentheframes , Reader : 702 , 16:29:09

We all know that men and women don't always think alike, especially when it comes to romance and relationships. It seems that the divide between male and female perspectives couldn't get any wider. The question is: if men and women see romance so differently, how in the world do we ever manage to get on the same page? As directed by Robert Luketic, The Ugly Truth tries to answer that question, w....

Fame: Lacking Fluidity

Posted by betweentheframes , Reader : 384 , 16:25:55

Though the 1980 Fame is not a particularly spectacular film, its concept was arguably new, if not absolutely fresh. However, since then, we have been subjected to Disney's musical series High Sc....

Sorority Row: Ultimately Dismal Horror Flick

Posted by betweentheframes , Reader : 304 , 03:02:21

An occasionally stylish but ultimately dismal horror flick, Sorority Row is only interesting for what it says about (and to) its audience.The screen gets filled with half-dressed co-eds who may or may not have to flee for their lives. Yet the film's target demographic may surprise you. Largely thanks to Twilight's Bella and Edward, teenage girls are now just as enthusiastic about horror movies a....

G-Force: Occasionally Spectacular

Posted by betweentheframes , Reader : 244 , 02:58:28

"I'm a commando who just happens to be a guinea pig." So says one of the main characters in the 3-D fantasy adventure G-Force. This exuberant, occasionally spectacular, rodent romp -- which combines live action and animation -- presents positive lessons that make it suitable for all but the most impressionable viewers, who might be frightened by its repeated scenes of peril.
