Now Playing Review – The Art of Getting By

I don’t mean to brag, but years and years ago I drove through New York during a family trip to Niagara Falls, so I know a thing or two about the excitement of the bustling city life. Ok, not really. Honestly, from what I have seen of it depicted on screen I live more in […]

Now Playing Review – Green Lantern

As a character the Green Lantern doesn’t have as large of a fan base as the big names like Batman, Superman, and Spider-man. Heck, a lot of people who don’t proudly call themselves nerdy aren’t even aware of him. Luckily for the more obscure superheroes, the film swell for the genre is bringing more attention […]

Now Playing Review – Super 8

Those still plagued by their childhood fears of ET rejoice! Though J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 pays deep respect to Steven Spielberg’s beloved (by others) classic, we are now old enough to appreciate these films without cowering behind our blankets. And thank goodness because Super 8 is not one to be missed. In a time where […]

Still Playing Review – The Hangover Part II

The Hangover Part II could have easily been one of the best comedies of the summer, but instead of embracing the challenge of besting the first film, it hides behind the popularity of its predecessor, becoming nothing more than an uninspired copy. The film opens up on Phil exclaiming that “it happened again,” and these […]

Now Playing Review – Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

With the release of L.A. Noire last Tuesday my time has been embarrassingly devoted to playing through the video game, so I may have gotten behind on reviewing the new Pirates of the Caribbean film. I wish I could say this was the only reason for the delay, but it may have to do with […]

Now Playing Review – Bridesmaids

If there is anything to take from Bridesmaids, it is that being the Maid of Honor sucks (which I hope my best friend will remember when I am most likely crying my eyes out over all I have to do for her when the day comes). More importantly, and more relavent, it’s the relief that […]

Now Playing Review – There Be Dragons

Let me open this with a disclaimer that will save plenty of viewers the deep disappointment when realizing that the swelling excitement catalyzed by the inclusion of an epic mythological beast in the title is all for naught: There are no dragons. Now pick yourself back up because if that is enough to send you […]

Now Playing Review – Fast Five

With Fast Five following shortly after Scream 4, looks like higher numbered sequels that don’t have the name Harry Potter in the title aren’t necessarily something to dread anymore. It may not be time to start a list of the successes this year quite yet (hopefully once Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is […]

Now Playing Review – Scream 4

When the original Scream was released back in 1996 I was at the impressionable age of 8 (or 8 and 3 quarters if we are going based on how I would have said it then); definitely not the correct time to be showing a young girl horror films. Let’s just say that I was scared […]

Now Playing Review – Arthur

With the actors attached to this remake, Arthur does have a ton of moments of comedic magic, but this is not enough to completely overcompensate for the unsurprisingly overdone storyline. The story follows Arthur, a bajillionaire who was born into money and now has no inclination to make his own. Living large as a playboy […]
