Jet Li’s action thriller The One is a film about the classic struggle with ones self, interpreted literally, spanned across multiple universes, and the struggle is fought with martial arts. If you remember seeing the trailer, you’ve probably just about seen the entire movie.
What did I learn from watching The One? I’d say [...]

Cut to the Chase - Enchanted
Posted in Cut to the Chase, Movies on October 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Recently, Netflix added a bunch of content from Starz Play to its selection of instantly available movies, and now my Netflix queue is filled with a lot of great movies. Included is Enchanted.
Now, don’t get me wrong — I absolutely loved Enchanted. I gave it 5 stars — and not only because it was [...]
Cut to the Chase - One Last Thing
Posted in Cut to the Chase, Movies on September 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sorry about not writing for a while. I’ve been busy and relatively uninspired… that is, until I saw One Last Thing.
Featuring an all-star cast of the greatest actors in Hollywood left over after Stephen Soderbergh chose his cast for Ocean’s Thirteen, One Last Thing (2006) is a film that combines The Girl Next Door [...]
Cut to the Chase - Shanghai Kiss

What were my first thoughts after watching Shanghai Kiss? I believe it was, “finally, a Chinese Garden State!”
Shanghai Kiss is about a guy who doesn’t really get along with his dad and is living in Los Angeles, trying to start a career as an actor, when he finds out that a member of his [...]
Cut to the Chase - Meet Bill
Posted in Cut to the Chase, Movies on September 1, 2008 | No Comments »
What can I say? I’m a sucker for relatively new-looking movies available for streaming via NetFlix that I haven’t heard of but also have an all star cast. When I saw that Meet Bill (2008), starring Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Alba, and Aaron Eckhart was available for streaming, I knew I was in for a [...]
Cut to the Chase - Stick It
Posted in Cut to the Chase, Movies on August 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
To celebrate the Olympics, I’ve chosen the movie Stick It, a movie about the greatest sport of all time: Women’s Aerobic Gymnastics.
Stick It is about an teenaged ex-gymnast Haley Graham (played by Missy Peregrym, you may recognize her from the WB hit TV show Black Sash starring Russell Wong). Haley Graham’s got a [...]
Cut to the Chase - Teeth

Thanks to Netflix, I was able to watch Teeth today. What’s teeth about? Well, basically, picture Jess Weixler on a 90 minute journey, thinking:
Oh no, I have teeth in my vagina. I’m cursed!
…or am I…
My only real complaint about the movie was that they’d show cooling towers from a nuclear power plant spewing [...]
Cut to the Chase - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

What do we think about the movie that pairs Russell Wong and Jet Li for the first time since Romeo Must Die 2: 2 Romeo 2 Must Die? Well, it all came down to this:
Pilot: I’d tell you to buckle up, but I was too cheap to buy seat belts!
Rick: ha ha ha why am [...]

Cut to the Chase - America’s Next Top Model
Posted in Cut to the Chase on May 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
In today’s edition of Cut to the Chase, rather than look at a movie, I’ll be cutting to the chase of the TV series “America’s Next Top Model.” Tyra Banks is a model that likes to teach lessons like, “modeling is about more than just inner beauty.” On her show, she generally chooses winners that [...]
