acclaimed short story. (10:57)
October 28, 2008

October 10, 2008
Denise and Jason take the action-packed thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe that shows the war on terror is one backstab after another. (13:24)
September 12, 2008

July 30, 2008
Denise and Jason blow the dust off the 1983 classic WarGames with Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. Does it stand the test of time? (13:09)
July 18, 2008
Our reviewers, Denise and Jason, take in the much anticipated Batman sequel "The Dark Knight" and come away very impressed with the acting, stories and effects. Should be box-office gold for the Caped Crusader. (11:23)
July 03, 2008
Our movie-reviewing duo think Will Smith's July 4th parade of hits is coming to an end. Hancock is your typical summer fare,
but misses some of the deeper points to flesh out Smith's character. Plus, Denise knows the plot twist before the movie begins.
(11:18)
June 20, 2008
The classic TV show comes to the silver screen with Steve Carrell as Agent 86, Anne Hathaway as Agent 99 and a number of stars
making cameo appearances in this enjoyable summer movie. (12:29)
May 23, 2008

(15:07)
April 02, 2008
Jason and Denise take a look at 21, the movie based on a real-life group of MIT students that figured out a way to beat Las Vegas. If you read the book you might be disappointed with the movie, but if you like Blackjack, the movie might be a fun 2 hours. (9:59)
March 20, 2008
While not your typical tech flick, Be Kind Rewind starring Mos Def and Jack Black does entertain - even in surviving a multi-megawatt
jolt of electricity is a bit unreasonable. Those that made home movies growing up will particularly appreciate the "special
effects." (10:10)
March 06, 2008
Jason and Denise set their sights on Vantage Point, which looks at an attempted presidential assassination by terrorists from multiple points of view before ending with a spectacular car chase. (13:45)
February 19, 2008
Denise and Jason review Jumper, the box-office hit that makes one wish they could teleport to wherever they need to be. Sure
the science is a little sketchy and the story is a bit thin in spots, but the action really jumps. (12:35)
February 07, 2008
Denise and Jason look at Outsourced, a film about a guy forced to go to India to train his call center replacements. What
seems to be a disappointing trip becomes a learning experience on culture, life and love. It's not something you'll find in
theaters, but will enjoy as a rental. (10:25)
January 25, 2008
During this movie review, Denise and Jason examine the high and low points of Untraceable, a film starring Diane Lane that relies heavily on technology but strays a bit far from reality. (12:17)
