We didn’t really know what to expect from WARM BODIES. A romantic comedy with zombies with John Malkovich, really? All we knew was very little of the premise, but it was enough to get us into theaters to see it. What did we think? Could WARM BODIES be the first solid offering of 2013?? All […]
Sylvester Stallone has always been one of the greats. Sure, he may have stumbled here and there when he asked people to stop or his mom would shoot, but for every Judge Dredd, we got a Demolition Man. Recently, there’s been a Stallone resurgence. Rambo ROCKED, and even if Expendables didn’t live up to its […]
As kids, Arnold Schwarzenegger was our hero, our aspirational role-model, our friend. He fought aliens, terrorists and exterminated humanity for our pleasure. So when “he’s back” in a new action movie, we of course needed to be there. That triumphant return is in the movie, THE LAST STAND, now in theaters, and stars Arnie as […]
Now that 2013 has begun, we’re kicking things off with a new podcast, with our take on Gangster Squad, the flick that stars Ryan Gosling doing a really weird characterization of a 1940s cop that’s sheep in wolf’s clothing. We share our thoughts on the movie, avoiding spoilers as much as possible, in 20 minutes […]
We saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (most of it, at least), and decided that Peter Jackson’s return to Middle-Earth had to be the start of a new podcast series we’re starting. We discuss the movie we saw, our general thoughts and nerd nitpickyisms, as well as being happy to simply be back in The […]
Caught up with a film from 2011 called Munger Road. Inspired by a urban folklore tale about a paranormal event that happens out on… wait for it… Munger Road, I wish I could say more about the story but this movie is complete junk. It’s the Seinfeld of movies, in that it’s about nothing. Nothing […]
For our MoviePass review, let me give you some details first on what it is. MoviePass.com gives you “access to Unlimited Movies in Theaters Nationwide for a monthly fee.” A Netflix for movie theaters in a sense. And it’s now in beta, following the ol’ Gmail formula of needing an invite to join. Well, needless […]
After a weak start, 2011 ended with an onslaught of awesome in theaters. While there certainly were other films I enjoyed, this list boils down to the stuff that I enjoyed enough to own a blu-ray of… Although, let’s face it — my absolute favorite film of 2011 was really 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The […]
I can’t argue with most of what Eros has complained about. What I can do is focus on the positive – sure, The Thing 2011 is no The Thing 1982, and had the chance at really being something special, and is certainly not a great movie… but that’s just glass-half-empty stinkin’ thinkin’. In the half […]
The Thing remake/prequel is a pale imitation to the movie that inspired it. Mary Elizabeth Winstead headlines a cast of nobodies that play characters you never care about in a story that’s an inferior retread of the original film directed by John Carpenter. What makes me sad about The Thing is that, it’s not an […]
Here’s a look how Summer 2011 ranked for me. I skipped more films than I normally do during these months – and of the 25 I did see, most should have been ignored as well. Yet a few gems managed to make this season not a complete waste. Still, overall — worst summer movie season […]
Cowboys & Aliens is the biggest disappointment in an already off-Summer. Spielberg. Howard. Grazer. They should all be ashamed of themselves for not stepping in and calling out Favreau’s lackluster western and Kurtzman/Orci’s lazy piece of storytelling. A strong opening and solid first act lead down a trail of underwhelming mess full of uninspired performances […]
Here’s a look how the Summer 2011 has ranked for me 75% in… 21} X-Men: First Class – Failed on every level for me. Every level a film works on, this did not work for me. Pure hate. 20} Bridesmaids – Walked out an hour in and demanded refund for the hour of my life […]

Recently I was insane enough to accept an invite to a cast and crew screening of a no-budget digital movie. As I feared, it was another entry into the mumblecore genre, but… I’m pleased to say I enjoyed it. The film was funny, an odd little digital treat. The film is called DEALING, and the […]

Here’s a look how the first half of Summer 2011 ranked for me… 16} X-Men: First Class – Failed on every level for me. Every level a film works on, this did not work for me. Pure hate. 15} Bridesmaids – Walked out an hour in and demanded refund for the hour of my life […]
