This movie is curious because I remember liking it decently as I watched it, and that’s good. But only two days later I can hardly remember a thing about it, and that’s not so good. It was solid, wholesome, respectable…and just a little bit boring. This movie is so old fashioned it could be one…

This movie should have been better than it was. It’s loosely based (and, to me, very loosely) on the actual life of the man chosen to be Uday Hussein’s body double. It starts around the time of the Iraq/Iran war and ends several years after the first Gulf War. Dominic Cooper plays both the poor,…

I hate this “movie” which is really just an excuse to make money on top of money. First they make money by selling tickets to people but also the film practically pays for itself by some of the most obvious product placement I’ve ever seen in a major film. Justin Timberlake’s “character” in this extended…

The best thing I can say for Zookeeper is that I didn’t hate it. I don’t know what it says about me that I know Zookeeper sucks but I still found myself thinking it was as good as any of the other movies I’m reviewing today. Although Captain America, The Devil’s Double, and Friends with…

Harry Potter is the only movie where you’ll find screaming kids and grown men saying “fuck” at the top of their lungs because they can’t get a better seat. The theater I saw it in started leaking heavily during the climax–making it feel like I was watching it in the middle of a rainfall–and no…

I want to say right off the bat that I like this movie. I want that to be crystal clear because the review for it might seem like I don’t like it. So just to get that out of the way, the movie is pretty good, very enjoyable, and a solid B+…now let’s get into…

Even in the summertime a small independent film with no well known actors and a complete lack of special effects can sneak into theaters, cross your radar, and floor you. A Better Life is one of those movies. It’s not a perfect film but it’s one of the best two or three movies I’ve seen…

The unnecessary sequel is a necessary staple of summertime moviegoing (as I’ve already pointed out in reviews for Pirates 4, Transformers 3, Hangover 2, etc.) but that doesn’t mean you have to like it. No sooner did I waste three hours of my life watching Transformers 3 did I go watch Cars 2, a significantly…

What can you even say about a Transformers movie? “It’s there” is about the nicest thing. Michael Bay is such a special needs director that you feel like giving him a passing grade just for turning in a movie on time (his signature 4th of July slot) and letting him finally graduate so you don’t…
