X-Men: The Last Stand

Commentary by Max Einhorn

X-Men: The Last StandBy the time I was a young child, comic books had lost their fascination by kids and had been replaced with cartoons. Many adults had something against reading comics, but had no problem with their children watching TV, which I cannot understand. Comic books was in a way reading in disguise, there was a lot reading involved[…]

Over The Hedge

Commentary by Max Einhorn

Over The HedgeFilms for kids don’t necessarily need hidden messages, product placement, crude humor, or really heavy emotional life lessons in order to be successful. Another thing that seems to bring a film down is too many recognizable celebrity voice actors, all wanting their share of jokes and screen time[…]

The Da Vinci Code

Commentary by Max Einhorn

The Da Vinci CodeI was surprised at how much the film didn’t publicize itself, but sort of let the publicity of the entire controversy build to epic proportions.

So in a way you are actually helping the film[…]

Commentary by Max Einhorn

PoseidonI remember seeing Titanic with Leonardo Dicaprio and when I finally saw it, I still couldn’t really understand all the hype about it.

Mission: Impossible 3

Commentary by Max Einhorn

Mission: Impossible 3First time film Director, J.J. Abrams gives us a lot of action, not plenty of substance, but a solid enough plot to be quite enjoyable to watch. I was expecting the action and I was pleasantly pleased with the hyped stunts and maneuvers that make this trilogy so famed among action lovers (and Tom Cruise lovers). Abrams’ largest project was probably Michael Bay’s Armageddon[…]

An American Haunting

Commentary by Max Einhorn

An American HauntingAn American Haunting involves the specific taunting from one type of ghost, known as a Poltergeist. Many of us can recall, especially if you were alive during the 80s, is Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist in which a house is built upon the former site of cemetary, but neglectfully, only the tombstones were moved. Steven Spielberg’s masterful screenplay[…]
