Review: The Dictator

Borat was a modern-day classic. Bruno was so, so terrible. So, you’d figure that The Dictator would have to be somewhere in between, but probably much closer to funny instead of awful. You would have thought that they learned the same old shtick wasn’t getting any better, right? Well, unfortunately for Sacha Baron Cohen and co., it was yet [...]

Review: The Avengers

I will say I was pretty surprised that this movie was in the 90′s on Rotten Tomatoes just before it officially was released across the country. I’ll also say that I’m not at all surprised at the positive reactions after I saw it and was truly shocked how good it was. No, I’m not yet [...]

Review: Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Mark Duplass plays the character Pete in the very underrated and possibly funniest show on television “The League” on FX. Now, this show is purely hysterical, and when I saw that Jeff, Who Lives at Home was co-directed and co-written by Mark (with his brother Jay), I though this could be a comedy goldmine. But, like their [...]

Review: 21 Jump Street

I was looking forward to this movie for a good number of months now, and was really, really hoping it wouldn’t turn out to be a flop. Well, the 87% on Rotten Tomatoes didn’t hurt my excitement, and after one more viewing of the epic red band trailer, I was off to the theater. Two hours later, [...]

Review: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

I saw this one a long time ago and really just never got around to writing a review on it – not entirely sure why. So, with that said, please expect a very short, somewhat half-assed take on Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. From what I recall, the second and third installments in this series weren’t high [...]

Review: The Descendants

  I saw this one about two or three weeks ago, and I really have no other reason for the delay in posting this review than…laziness. My apologies to the tens of people that might read this. A little strange that it was this movie, out of all the ones I’ve seen over the past [...]

Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I think I should apologize in advance for this review, as it’s going to sound like praise, praise, and more praise towards what seems to be a perfect piece. I don’t really have any criticisms, at all, for this film. I went into the theater with somewhat high expectations because of who made it, but [...]

The Top Ten Movies of 2011!

2011 turned out to be quite similar to any other year at the movies: a lot of disappointments, tons of crap coming out that I didn’t even bother with, and various surprises scattered over twelve months…just enough so to make it worth the while. With that said, the year on the silver screen certainly started [...]

Review: The Sitter

Woof, what a stinker. It’s not typical of me to completely trash any movie, regardless of who’s in it, what it’s about, or anything like that, but The Sitter has to rank up there (or, down there) with some of the worst movies I’ve seen this year. At the very least, when you look at what the director [...]

Review: The Muppets

I remember the Muppets very vaguely from my childhood growing up, and to tell you the truth, I haven’t spent a seconds worth of thought on them in years. The memories have all but faded, as newer cartoons, programs, and other kids entertainment have come rushing into relevance. But this is just one of the [...]
