Movie Review: SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD
Director Edgar Wright isn’t very well-known in Hollywood. Although he’s had comedic success with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, he hasn’t done any other mainstream projects. Enter Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a comic telling the story of a young 20-something who meets the woman of his dreams, only to find out her [...]
Movie Review: THE OTHER GUYS
The Other Guys has a lot going on. First, it’s the first venture into action-comedy by director Adam McKay. Second, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg constantly trade comedic barbs at one another, stressing the comedy aspect of the film. Third, the storyline begins simplistic, gets jumbled and eventually ties back together. A lot of comedy [...]

Movie Review: THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE
The ultimate failure a movie can succumb to is the inability to entertain. That is why we go to watch movies, right? We want to be taken away to another world, one where we actually believe sorcerers and magic and epic battles really exist. This problem is the downfall for Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. It [...]
Movie Review: PREDATORS
I’m something of an expert on the Predator mythos as my love affair with all things Predator goes back roughly 22 years. I had both Predator and Predator 2 virtually memorized before my voice had even begun to crack in puberty. At the age of 12, while all of my friends were reading “X-Men” and [...]

Movie Review: TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE
When it comes to reviewing a movie like Twilight: Eclipse, it is difficult to separate the film from the cannon upon which it is based. Basically, to objectively critique the film, I have to put aside my stance on the series and look at the movie individually. In the third installment of the Twilight series, [...]
Movie Review: KNIGHT AND DAY
After a decade of Spy-on-the-run flicks ranging from the entertaining ( The BOURNE Series) to the mundane (KILLERS). Let’s stop kidding ourselves, they didn’t do whatever the government suits claim they did. If they did though, it wasn’t for the reasons given. In KNIGHT AND DAY, Tom Cruise plays a super spy hunted by the [...]

Movie Review: THE A-TEAM
Summer is a good time to go to the movies and unwind. Beat the heat and the sun by sitting in a nice air conditioned theater and watch a flick for two hours. That is why popcorn flicks, or movies that are meant to be entertaining and fun, are best marketed for summer. When Joe [...]

Movie Review: CLASH OF THE TITANS
I feel bad for Sam Worthington. First, he saved humanity from Skynet’s Terminators. Then, he saved the Smurfs from humanity. Now, in the remake of the classic CLASH OF THE TITANS, he attempts to save humanity and the gods from each other. I wonder if he’ll ever be in a romantic comedy. But until then, [...]
