Review: That Awkward Moment
Freshman screenwriter and director Tom Gormican gets a lot of credit for getting financing for this movie. Not only is it a rom-com where the main characters are guys instead of clumsy, too-busy-for-men ladies,...
Independent Film Review of “It’s Not You, It’s Me”
Romantic comedy with an interesting conceptual angle
Review: “Ride Along” is shockingly not terrible
The first 40 minutes of "Ride Along" are awkward, poorly edited and acted, and not nearly as funny as it thinks it is.
None of this seems surprising- as stated before, January is Trash Duty. A cop comedy wit...
The Legend of Hercules movie review
Well it's January, boys and girls, and that means it's Trash Time! For those not fortunate enough to know, the first two or three months of every year are dedicated to studios clearing their shelves of all thei...
Lenny Cooke – Documentary Film Review
Lenny Cooke could have been one of the NBA greats, but it was not to be
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug review
It's a well-worn joke that Peter Jackson doesn't know how to make a short movie. All of his major films have clocked in at 2.5 hours or longer (that's before the special release director's cut, and the DVD ...
The Hunger Games “Catching Fire” Movie Review
Respectable follow up to the first Hunger Games film
Thor: The Dark World review
Chris Hemsworth's character might be the title of this sequel, and an Avenger to boot, but dammit, Thor: The Dark World is Tom Hiddleston's movie.
Directed by: Alan Taylor
Written by: Christopher Yost, ...
The Fifth Estate review
It's a common maxim that history is written by the winners. But what about the history when there are no clear winners? When something momentous happens- and then nothing really changes at all? And what if we a...
Captain Phillips Review
A starkly beautiful achievement, which is absolutely exhausting.
“Machete Kills” movie review
Machete Kills poster
I only just saw "Machete" a few weeks ago- I caught a poorly edited version of it on TNT or FX or something- so I have only been recently entranced by the Robert Rodriguez 70s action sc...
“Gravity” movie review
In every movie nerd's subconscious, there is a file marked "Do Not Destroy." In that file are all the cinematic images that have refused to be washed away by the tides of lifelong media saturation. Among other ...
Movie Review: “Rush”
It's not difficult to explain what "Rush," the Ron Howard historical film about the contentious rivalry of two Formula One drivers in the 1970s was trying to tell me. It's a movie about speed, both the mech...
Movie Review: “Baggage Claim”
About halfway through "Baggage Claim," a feather-light rom-com, the requisite slutty and funny BFF (the fantastic Jill Scott) asks our heroine Montana (Paula Patton) why she's so hell-bent on getting married. A...
“Don Jon” review
Every few years there exists something that we as a culture are going to have to shamefully admit we created and supported once it’s gone. Between the years of 2009-2012, the MTV show Jersey Shore allowed for s...
Review: “Prisoners” kinda sucks
On the way home from this movie, I thought about what I could have done during the two-a-half hours that would have been more productive, enlightening, or entertaining than sitting and watching this pretentious...
