Marley and Me turned John Grogan (not to be confused with Josh Groban) from columnist to best-selling author in 2005. We personally sincerely hope its magic works on Jennifer Aniston and her box office rut. Considering David Frankel, of The Devil Wears Prada and Band of Brothers fame, directs the film adaptation, Aniston should have nothing to worry about.

The Christmas movie season limps on this month with the late release of Four Christmases. Pardon the cynicism, but really—has there been any Christmas movie worth remembering since Love Actually? Fred Clause perhaps? The Family Stone? I rest my case. Having said that, Four Christmases looks promising.

Baz Luhrmann can be compared to a martini—as something that is considered an acquired taste, yet immensely popular all the same. Despite less-than positive reviews, the film set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for an Australian film.

Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight is the stuff of adolescent angst and woe, with the assurance of a firm fan base in the best-selling novel it was based upon. So much so that Fandango sold 5 Twilight tickets per second before its US release despite less than impressive reviews. Twilight sucked the box office dry, and is virtually critic-proof. As such, this review might not be of any significance, but here’s our two cents worth anyway.

The zombie film never gets old and if it’s George A. Romero, we can bet that there’s a socially conscious message behind all the gore and horror.

There seems to be no end in sight for western cinema’s love affair with zombies. Following 28 Days Later and its sequel, George A. Romero‘s Dead films, Resident Evils and many others, comes the latest entry.

It’s hard to watch Cicakman 2 and bring the same expectations from seeing Iron Man, The Dark Knight and Spider-Man. It‘s best to expect something along the lines of Senario meets Power Rangers.

The new James Bond flick feels like a Jason Bourne movie for the hip green generation. It's all dirty, gritty, and undercoated with a socially responsible message about going green.

Before anything can be said, let's get this straight: amusing creepy penguins aside, Madagascar stunk like damp animal. Its only lasting memory is of annoyance in the song, "I like to move it move it", for crying out loud! However, before you roll your eyes at the topic of this review, we can assure you that Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa completely usurps its predecessor.

Stepping out into the shiny surrounds of the shopping mall after the screening of Punggok Rindukan Bulan at the cineplex, I noted the striking contrast. Here was middle-class Malaysia proudly toting crisp, fully laden shopping bags, drooling over the latest electronic playthings on display, sipping overpriced cups of coffee at oh-so-trendy cafes. It was far removed from the world of grungy nasi goreng warungs and grotty rundown flats to which, back in the darkened confines of the theatre, I had been transported.

If you’re heading to the cinema and want to watch a movie packed with car chases, explosions and a lot of running around, without having to think all that much about the plot then this is right up your alley.

As soon as the credits began to roll to Meet Uncle Hussain's "Lagu Untukmu", the audience at the media premiere of KAMI: The Movie burst into applause. True, it wasn't The Dark Knight but it was obvious to everyone in the hall that the film they had just watched was a labour of immense love from creators and co-directors, Effendee Mazlan and Fariza Azlina Isahak.

The Love Guru takes its name from yet another crazy character created by Mike Myers, the funny-man behind Austin Powers and Shrek. Guru Pitka (Mike Myers) is an American who, as a child, was left on the doorstep of an Indian ashram. Flashforward more than 30 years and His Holiness is the world's #2 spiritual man, inferior to none but child-hood rival Deepak Chopra...

Death Race has everything you need to give yourself a nice testosterone jolt. The movie is set in a time when America’s overcrowded prison population becomes fodder for televised entertainment.

The film Penelope can essentially be summed up with one word: charming. This modern fairy tale has Christina Ricci playing the role of Penelope Wilhern, a blueblood who carries a curse passed on from her great-great grandfather.

The mass fascination with anything Tudor-related denies the slightest chance for television and filmmakers to go wrong. Who can resist the general formula of barbaric scandal beneath royally refined closed doors?

Just when we thought The Mummy was laid to rest; it rears its ugly head. Back after a 7-year hiatus, the third installment of The Mummy catches up with Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn (Maria Bello) O'Connell who have retired from the business of risky adventures and chasing mummies.

Pixar’s latest sci-fi animated feature film, WALL-E is Disney’s answer to Dreamwork’s Kung Fu Panda. To date, it has raked in over USD$163 million at the box office and is already garnering Oscar buzz for Best Picture (a first for an animated feature).

Forgetting Sarah Marshall centralises on the repercussions of a break up between the very slobby Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) and his long-time girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Wretchedly depressed, he attempts numbing his inner pain with a string of tawdry one-night stands, until he is advised to go on a much-needed vacation in Hawaii. However, he subsequently discovers Sarah and her new beau, rock sensation Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) are staying at the same hotel.

Without even the film’s marketers doing much, Sex and the City is already the chick flick movie event of the year. When the television series ended with Carrie’s and Mr Big’s happily-ever-after in 2004, it was a finale that only left fans wanting more.
