Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Review

Eric and J.D., unorthodox film critics at www.scene-stealers.com, Review the most anticipated movie of the summer "Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Indiana Jones is back and he's not after the raiders of the lost arc, he must instead deal with Russians, Rebels and Roswell. The "Last Crusade" was not the last Indiana Jones movie to kick some ass. Harrison Ford, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg are all back for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull." But is the magic back? Eric and JD have all the answers and more, with clips from "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Iron Man Movie Review

Directly after an advance screening of Marvel Comics’ “Iron Man,” starring Robert Downey, Jr., Eric and J.D. give an Instant Review of the movie. Summer is here an the influx of superheroes is just beginning, but “Iron Man” is a cut above the rest. Thanks to a strong lead performane by Robert Downey, Jr., a script that’s actually about something, and director Jon Favreau’s keen eye for comedy, “Iron Man” gets two rock fists up even though it doesn’t use Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” until the closing credits.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall Movie Review

Eric and J.D. from Scene-Stealers.com discuss why Jason Segel is the new Seth Rogen ("Superbad") and what makes "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" better than most romantic comedies of it ilk. It may have something to do with producer Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up, "The 40 Year-old Virgin"), but they're pretty sure it has more to do with an unflinching sense of honesty, lots of male nudity, and a keen eye on satirizing Hollywood types. Plus, UK comedian Russell Brand is hilarious.

Shine A Light Movie Review

The joke goes something like this: “Shine A Light,” the new Rolling Stones concert film, is the first Martin Scorsese movie to not feature “Gimme Shelter.” It’s true, Marty has used the Stones in “Mean Streets,” “GoodFellas,” and “The Departed,” but never before has he orchestrated a entire rapturous two-hour concert film about his favorite dangerous English rockers. So what if they’re in their sixties? Eric and J.D. are convinced that if you are a rock n’ roll fan, you’ll love this movie, especially in IMAX.

30 Days of Night Movie Review

this movie must have been greenlit on idea alone, because the screenwriters (all three of them) left everybody else out in the cold on this one. Director David Slade, who showed such promise with the twisted psychological thriller “Hard Candy” two years ago, shoots the movie with style to spare, but cannot muster an ounce of suspense. What’s more, “30 Days” feels every bit as long as its title.

Knocked Up Movie Review


Eric and J.D. debate the merits of dick and fart jokes vs. pithy remarks about male/female relationships. Either way you cut it, "Knocked Up" is one of the funniest films in recent memory.
