We all have guilty pleasures. Guilty movie pleasures, I mean. Meg Ryan movies, heist movies, Christian Bale in anything, John Cusack/Jeremy Piven movies, made-for-TV holiday movies on ABC Family, watching The Notebook"" four times in one week. Whatever.
\Yeah, I saw 'Spider-Man 3.' I also saw the reviews. Do I agree? Well, no. However, it's not my job to review this movie for the Daily Cardinal. That's been done,"" writes Tarah Scalzo in the last ""The Taraminator"" column.'
\Picture a boxing ring. The air is so damp you can almost sip it from a spoon. In one corner, there's a drunk pirate, and in the other, there's a ferocious lion. Who would win in a fight?"" writes Tarah in this week's The Taraminator.'
What began as a half-decent portrayal of upper-middle class white America, soon spiraled into a schmaltzy extravaganza of total blasphemy in ""The Invisible."" This is one of those pseudo-thrillers that indulges so shamelessly in its characters that anybody who has ever seen a movie in their lifetime can literally feel the script as it struggles to produce sensitivity and depth.
