I watched the internship last night at an advanced screening and I can happily say this movie will make many of you laugh... a lot. I have to say, for me personally I felt a "Old School" vibe in this movie and it really worked well! There was a surprise cameo I had no idea about which turned out to be a great surprise ^_^ Do your self a favor and don't spoil it by looking at the cast for a pleasant surprise. Of course the duo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn was terrific. These two work so well with each other, and I think the rest of the audience would agree with that. When this film comes out, do your self a favor and see this movie! It's definitely worth your money. Enjoy!

A movie I was very much looking forward to from the cast alone, but ultimately fell short in my opinion. I never really could connect with ANY of the characters as they were all pretty much bad or annoying in every way. At the conclusion of the film, for me personally this was one of those "what was the point of watching this" type of movie's. As far as acting goes, I give credit to both Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. From watching the performance of Bradley Cooper in "Silver Lining Playbook", I will say I felt let down on his performance. With the many reviews of this that is extremely positive, I say give it a chance as you might like it for their same reasons, but I can say I would never want to watch this one again.

My first animated Batman movie I saw was also the most recent one, "Under the Red Hood". I really enjoyed that one and I found this one to be equally as good. As noted in the aforementioned plot, the story takes place 10 years after Bruce Wayne retired. This animated film features a much older Bruce Wayne who is noticeably much older than Batman as we know, gray hair and all. Bruce Wayne is voiced by Peter Weller of Robocop who does a great job. I found the music to be epic in the scale of of "Under the Red Hood". Story wise it was a unique perspective to see Batman like this and I totally dug the vibe of it. Not sure how many more "parts" will be included in this story, but I can say I am looking forward to the next one. If your a batman fan I would say definitely check this one out. Worthy of a dvd/blu ray purchase. 8.5 out of a 10

WOW! Is it possible to top the HILARIOUS "In Bruges" by director Martin McDonagh? That answer? Hell yeah! I, along with what was seemingly the majority of the early screening folks thoroughly enjoyed the movie, which was evident with the constant laughing. Make sure you stick around a little bit after the credits are rolling or you will certainly miss another hilarious bit. I thought all the main actors did a wonderful job as their parts respectively and I can't really whole hardheartedly say one or two of them stole the show because ALL the main characters were just perfect for the role. From start to end (even after end if you count credits) the audience was laughing a good deal throughout this film. Do yourself a favor and see this movie when it comes out for you to see in theaters. This will definitely be a bluray/dvd purchase upon release. Hope you enjoy the movie!

One hell of a movie! Fight choreography in this film was ridiculous. Polar opposite of the Bourne films as you get some masterful fight scenes and top notch hand to hand combat. For music you have Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park working his magic which ended up working out really well. End song was really dope. Do yourself a favor and catch this one as soon as you can. Blu ray worthy for sure!

I remember seeing the review back in January 2011 Chris Bumbray did and I finally have got a chance to see it. The the acting was definitely the strongest part about the film. I thought the lead actor (Shannon) and actress (Chastain) did a terrific job. I have seen a few movies here and there with Shannon, but this one he put on a truly amazing performance. I thought the score was overall fitting for the type of film that it was. A couple of tracks in particular stuck out for me. The story was good for the most part except for a few dry parts. Overall a pretty good movie which I would recommend as a rental/netflix.

By far one of the most anticipated indie films I was looking forward to. After I saw all kinds of high praise from review sites on the web, I couldn't wait to get my paws on the blu ray. Definitely my biggest upset of the year of 2009. While it wasn't total crap, it definitely was no gem either. First, I'll begin with the good. For the flick having almost no budget at all, I was extremely happy to say the film locations were beautiful. They are almost worth just the money to see them. The BEST thing in this movie for me no doubt was the score. The director himself also scored the flick, which I am damn impressed with. It just was perfect for the type of movie that it was. Also the movie did have a few unique ideas to go along with the poor budget, which was nice. Now for the ugly. Speaking back on unique ideas, I was thoroughly upset to see that the director re-used almost the exact scene he did in a short film he also did called Spin. The whole series of chain reactions that occur and snow balls into something else he did in this movie as well. Also the acting in this film was painful to watch. The blind man was definitely the worst. I think the lead character did a fine job though (John). The fighting was also poorly done. You never really get to...[more]...

Never saw the original with John Wayne, but after seeing this one, I kind of want to see the differences used between the two. I think the Coen brothers did wonders again this this film. Had the excellent dialogue that No Country For Old Men had that will at times have you laughing. I was thoroughly impressed with the performances of both Jeff Bridges and the newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. When she filmed this she was only thirteen years old which to have a cast of Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin is pretty intimating. She definitely was very confident, and you can tell throughout the film too. I will definitely have to buy a blu ray (for captions) of this when it does come out though, as Jeff Bridges country accent was extremely thick so I missed on much of his dialogue. The Cohen brothers fingerprints were all over this film, which is a good thing for me. For a pg-13 movie too I thought it was a pretty hard pg-13 for the blood/violence involved. So those of you who are weary of it not being rated R fear not. Hope everyone gets to check this movie out!

Finally got the chance to see this film, and very glad I was able to. Most of the movies that gets high praise I tend not to like, but this one finally was able to break away from that. The real story always intrigued me and it was nice to learn more about what really went down. Like one thing you may or may not know though is that Aron Ralston, actually showed James Franco the real video's he recorded while he was trapped in the canyon. So many of the facial expressions, and the dialogue are very much true. Aron also wanted to make sure that many of his hallucinations went into the film as well so those were real. So keep that in mind when you see the film. This is only the second film I have seen by Danny Boyle, the first being 28 Days Later, but I can definitely see what people see in his work now though. Many of the shots he used were spectacular. High praise all the way to James Franco for the living, breathing impersonation of Aron Ralston. I really hope he wins the best actor award for his work in this film. You almost feel just as euphoric in the film when he is experiencing euphoria. The score I thought was brilliant too. The near ending song with Sigor-Ros playing was just a perfect choice and I I felt just as pumped up as James Franco. Truly a great...[more]...

Wow... are you ready for some shits and giggles? I have to admit at first I was hesitant to watch this film in 3D, but it worked wonders! Through much of the film they had awesome 3D footage they showed you in super slow motion so you can be sure to catch the whole scene in it's entirety. Like me, most of the crowd was just laughing for the majority of the film. I would have to say this by far was the best of the three hands down, followed by the second, then first movie. There was only one scene that really grossed me out (involving sweat), but other than that the film was friggin' hilarious. Without a doubt try to catch this one in 3D while it's out, they dont bull shit with the 3D quality like they did with Clash of the Titans and half ass it. Hope you enjoy it!

I have to admit I was surprised with this one. It surprised me in area's I didn't expect to be good. Namely the acting by both Jaden Smith, and Jackie Chan, but more so the latter of the two. Jackie definitely held his own at certain parts of the movie that I am quite sure you will be able to notice how good of a actor he has become since we saw him in his earlier movies. Only really have one complaint. HAVE MERCY!!! The actress who played Jaden Smith's mom in the flick!? I was hoping the Kung fu kid would do some Kung fu on her!!! She was just excessively annoying. There were many positives to the film to make up for those few things. As I mentioned earlier the acting was great, as well as the music, and I really dug the fight choreography. Overall I think the movie is worth a DVD purchase, (a rental at minimum) Hope you enjoy it!

As long as your not expecting a phenomenal story with this flick, I think you really will have a good time with The Expendables. I really enjoyed the fight choreography (Watching the Expendables beat some ass was great!) Also for the most part the gun play was good except for a few minor CGI kills that looked pretty bad to put it nicely. Nice to see the lovely Charisma Carpenter get another role, she looked great in this one (sad you only see her for a bit) but that's okay because there was another great looking actress (Giselle Itié.) All in all it was a nice summer flick for sure, and would be worth a rental for sure. My review is a 6.5
Hope you enjoy it as well!

After seeing Gone Baby Gone (one of my favorite movies) I was really looking forward to seeing Casey Affleck's next film. I thought he did a spectacular job acting in Gone Baby Gone, and he plays this part very well. Unfortunately that is the only bright spot I can say about this movie. With a movie like this I was kind of expecting a great story at least but that never came. I really couldn't recommend this movie in any way so I would say skip it. 2010 for me has been filled with movies rated extremely high, yet I haven't found one I remotely like yet :( Hope to find one eventually.

As a HUGE fan of the first Boondock Saints film, I really wasn't too sure where I was in terms of being for or against a sequel. When finishing the first movie, there really wasn't a strong desire for a sequel to be made. I was happy though to see that the same director, and pretty much the entire cast was retained for the sequel. After FINALLY seeing it, I now say to you I wish I hadn't. The movie to me I think couldn't tell what it wanted to be. It definitely did not feel anything like the original. When they recreated scenes in the movie, I think it just took away from the seriousness of it and felt they took this project lightly. Really the movie just felt weird to me to put it simply. Not sure if it's just because so much time has passed since the first one came out or what, but that much is clear. Overall I think it wouldn't hurt you any if you skipped this film.

Where to begin when reviewing Inception? I have thought about this film for several hours after watching it. As with most of the movies that have been getting serious praise across the board, I have left this film highly disappointed. While it's different for everyone in what truly defines a "great" movie, for me though I know I shouldn't have to ask myself several times throughout a movie "when is this movie going to be great?" Inception did have some good points though. I really thought the cast for the most part did well. Leo once again has proven to be a bad ass actor, and there is no wonder why he is cast in many blockbuster films. Although I will admit I was disappointed with Ken Watanabe. Saying that is difficult enough for me because I thoroughly enjoyed his performance in The Last Samurai, and was looking forward to seeing Inception for seeing him in a new role. Your not really immersed in anyone's past except for Leo's so as a result, I could care less if any of the other cast lived or died. I also enjoyed the music, but that doesn't come to any shock since it came from the talented Hans Zimmer. The special effects were nothing short of spectacular. The story though never really grabbed my attention. Obviously the whole is this REALLY a dream or is this real has been done before, cough cough The Matrix, so I didn'...[more]...

Since this movie is in the same universe as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, (which I loved) I definitely thought I would check this one out. Plus Russell Brand was hilarious in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so now that this movie is featuring him, I definitely was looking forward to seeing this one. Well he did his part, and he definitely had me rolling. Just not as frequently as I did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Don't get me wrong, this movie I did laugh pretty hard in several spots, it's just they were spread out pretty far. I really liked Sean Puffy Combs cameo in this movie. He stole the show for me with the little acting time he had. Sadly there was some slow parts to the movie, hurt it quite a bit for me. Also on a side note I thought it was strange while Jonah Hill and Russell Brand played played the same exact characters that they were in Sarah Marshall, they didn't appear to know each other in this film, which was weird, (Jonah Hill's character was like a psycho stalker of him in the Sarah Marshal, you would think when they meet up again it would have played out much differently.) Overall I would say if you dug Forgetting Sarah Marshall, this movie is worth a rental to have a few good laughs.

I was really looking forward to seeing Kick-Ass when it was released. The trailers to it looked great, along with the horde of amazing reviews claiming "Kick-Ass was Kick Ass!!" I am not sure if I was let down because my expectations were so high, or just that I am tired of seeing all these geeky actors star in these movies. Its been the "in" thing to do lately it seems with Juno, Superbad, Zombieland, Adventureland, and Youth in Revolt. They all just start off like a geek in them all and as the movie progresses they get some balls somewhere along the line. So having the main character AND another super nerd (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) I think was a bit much for me. I will say this though, I thought Nicolas Cage did well for his part. Him and his daughter of the movie I thought worked well together and were pretty funny. Had a few good laughs here and there, but overall I definitely was disappointed with what I was hearing. In the end I would say the movie is worth a rental.

Wow, where the hell was I when this one came out? Ashton Kutcher proves once again he has the acting ability to hold down his own for a drama flick. Especially a couple of parts in the film, he really solidified that he could. I felt he did a phenomenal job, as well the other main man Kevin Costner. The banter used between him Kutcher's character, and numerous other ones throughout the film were pretty funny to see. Actually quite a bit of laughter ensues through a decent majority of the film. Happy to report even with the 139 minute long run-time, the movie never felt like it was dragging on or anything of the sort. I highly recommend everyone giving this great movie a watch, who knows, you might fancy it as much as I do. Blu ray purchase worthy, dvd at minimum.

What area was I NOT disappointed in this movie? Thankfully I went into this movie not knowing much so I wasn't highly disappointed with the pile of poo that it was. I haven't the slightest inkling of what anyone saw in this movie other than the strong acting chops Sam Rockwell provided. I was bored through pretty much all of it. With the little dialogue that there was, none of it really had me saying holy shit!, this movie was great." The ending came and went with me scratching my head thinking... this cant be it. Only other positive I can say for the movie is the score was dope, which isn't a surprise cause it's done by the man himself, Clint Mansell. Avoid this movie at all costs. Save your coin for something better.
