Real Steel

reviewed on January 10th, 2012 09:08AM

Are you a father who has an 10-12 year old son and just don't know what to watch with him during movie time? Well, look no further, because Real Steel is here and it's got you covered. I don't know what I was expecting when I sat down to watch ...

Cowboys & Aliens

reviewed on December 9th, 2011 01:20AM

I should probably mention right off the bat that we watched the Extended Version of the film tonight, it may factor in, it might not. I thought the movie was decent. I really wish that I had read the graphic novel before hand so I'd had a basis...

Hugo

reviewed on November 29th, 2011 03:06PM

Hugo is a film that if someone walked up to me and said, "Oh, you saw Hugo? What was it about?" I'm not entirely sure that I would be able to do the film any justice in explaining it but I'll try for the sake of not wasting your time here. Hugo...

The Muppets

reviewed on November 27th, 2011 01:13AM

* SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS * Allow me to preface my review with this: I enjoyed the film a great deal. I laughed, I got nostalgic, and there were even moments when I felt that I was watching a truly great Muppet movie. That being said, there ...

Conan the Barbarian

reviewed on November 21st, 2011 02:26AM

This movie was awful. Had they not called it "Conan the Barbarian" but instead just have presented it as another Barbarian lore-type film perhaps I could have gotten into it a little more, but I doubt that. The dialogue was absolutely laughable...

Another Earth

reviewed on November 13th, 2011 10:19AM

Another Earth packed quite the emotional punch. Though some moments felt a little "arty" at times, it had done nothing to detract from this powerful film about forgiveness and self exploration. Beautifully shot and wonderfully acted by the fil...

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas

reviewed on November 7th, 2011 03:54PM

It's 11:15 a.m. The theater has all but 5 inside of it, and you're coming off of three nights of straight partying for your wife's birthday weekend, it's time to treat your already outer-worldly state of mind to some Harold & Kumar! This H & K ...

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

reviewed on October 20th, 2011 01:30AM

I kind of regret not seeing Transformers 3 in the theaters in IMAX 3D. That must have been one hell of a ride. But the movie itself was garbage. Overlong, often boring, and defying the laws of human anatomy and what it can withstand, the film i...

Horrible Bosses

reviewed on October 12th, 2011 04:45PM

Woof. It pains me to say that this movie was near abysmal in the laughs department. It's a sad state of affairs when I laugh more at the closing credits outtakes than the film itself. Boasting an outstanding cast (including Aniston NOT doing her u...

Drive

reviewed on September 18th, 2011 06:39PM

After all the great word of mouth and several 9/10 - 10/10 reviews, my wife, Kitty Green, and I had decided to hit up our local $5 theater for this slow-burn near masterpiece. Drive is a film that I had little to no idea what I was in for when...

Bridesmaids

reviewed on September 7th, 2011 04:43PM

There's nothing like a swarm of women during the planning and partying stages of a good wedding. It's frightening business indeed. I think that perhaps this movie might have been a little over-hyped for me. What with all the hullabaloo when it ...

Arthur

reviewed on September 3rd, 2011 02:31AM

I've never seen the original Arthur staring the ever ridiculous Dudley Moore, so I really don't have anything to hold this movie up against, not that I do that anyway, but you see my point. Anyway, I actually kind of enjoyed Arthur. Going into ...

Hanna

reviewed on September 2nd, 2011 11:51PM

The Warrior's Way

reviewed on August 4th, 2011 10:47AM

The Warrior's Way is one of those movies, again, where I'm just not quite sure how I feel about it. While it wasn't the biggest waste of my time there are certainly other things I could have watched that probably would have been much better. Yo...

Battle: Los Angeles

reviewed on July 5th, 2011 02:36PM

I actually really dug Battle: Los Angeles. It wasn't anything earth shattering but if you think of it in terms of being a straight War picture (replace humans with aliens) rather than straight up sci-fi, then it's pretty damn entertaining. I enjoy...

Super 8

reviewed on June 12th, 2011 04:47PM

Super 8 was wonderful!. Nostalgic, endearing and satisfying on every level. A must see for anyone who loves film. For more of my thoughts be sure to listen to this weeks edition of the Super Podcast hosted by our own SuperMarcey!

Paul

reviewed on June 12th, 2011 02:09AM

I'm really not surprised that I liked Paul as much as I did. I never blew the idea of the film out of proportion for myself by holding it up to films Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz. No, all I really wanted was another chance to see what Simon Pegg ...

Season of the Witch

reviewed on June 10th, 2011 12:28AM

*SPOILERS because it's funnier that way* I was alright with this movie for a little while. I knew going into it that it wasn't going to be anything to write home about. But it was the scene with the wolves that had done it for me. I'd hope that...

Gulliver's Travels

I Am Number Four

reviewed on June 2nd, 2011 01:39AM

Between this and The Tourist, that's two boring ass movies I sat through today. SPOILERS BABY!!!! Seriously, this movie sucked. The whole movie felt to me like I was watching a new sci-fi movie of the week on the CW Network. Almost everythin...

The Tourist

reviewed on June 1st, 2011 11:59AM

Boring. Casting Johnny Depp to be a believable "nobody" really just doesn't work for this movie. The man is far too gifted and iconic to play some dim witted shlub. Angelina pretty much just walks around the entire movie and does next to nothing b...

Little Fockers

reviewed on May 30th, 2011 12:36AM

This may very well be the first movie that has made me think about killing myself. It gets one star above the lowest possible amount only for the ball pit scene where De Niro for one shining moment became Jaws.

American: The Bill Hicks Story

X-Men: The Last Stand

reviewed on May 15th, 2011 01:25PM

X-Men: The Last Stand, or as I like to refer to it, The Wolverine and Storm Show was an absolute piece of shit of a movie. It's taken me all these years to finally finish off the last 20 minutes of this film and man o man was it awful. I'm goin...

X2: X-Men United

reviewed on May 14th, 2011 12:40PM

X-2 was a fine X-Men movie. I used to think that I liked it a lot more than the first iteration but upon another watch I'm finding that I like them about the same. This is the point in the series where the writers really began to pour on the c...

Last Action Hero

reviewed on April 23rd, 2011 01:23PM

Lethal Weapon 2

reviewed on February 10th, 2011 11:12PM

Lethal Weapon 2 was pretty good. Though, I do feel like there was a significant dip in the writing this time around. I feel like this film did almost nothing to build on the characters after the conclusion of the first film. Mel Gibson totally sol...

Lethal Weapon

reviewed on February 10th, 2011 02:44PM

It's kind of hard to look back at the 80's and find a more iconic buddy action/comedy film. There were many, but each one of them seemed to borrow or pay homage to this classic tale of east meets west partnership of old cop and crazy cop. Back ...

I didn't know what to make of Megamind at first. I'd seen the trailer for it so many times that it was quite off-putting to see that the first 15 minutes or so of the film was just about everything I'd seen in the trailer. I couldn't quite figure ...
