If Management depicts what constitutes a love story in the real world, then romance should be avoided at all costs. Steve Zahn plays Mike, a motel manager who falls in love with (AKA becomes obsessed with) Jennifer Aniston’s art saleswoman, Sue, while she is passing through on business. Stupidly, in a bout of loneliness she […]
Read more "Rental Review – Management"Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a really fun children’s film, but for those of us who grew up with The Lion King, the obvious comparisons between the two make this movie come up seriously lacking. Madagascar 2 picks up where the first ends, with Alex (the lion), Marty (the zebra), Melman (the giraffe), and Gloria […]
Read more "Rental Review – Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa"Though I cannot take the same stand that I am sure many comic book fanatics are taking against this film, I will say that I feel slightly cheated by X-Men Origins: Wolverine. As the name states, Wolverine is an origin story for the beloved X-Men character, so let’s start at the beginning. The character of […]
Read more "Rental Review – X-Men Origins: Wolverine"I remember back when I first saw the trailer for Fighting and thought to myself: “Ugh, this looks kinda lame. But ooo! Channing Tatum! Well I have to see it now…” Yeah I know. But trust me, sitting through this movie was punishment enough for that mistake. The problem with Fighting is that the only […]
Read more "Rental Review – Fighting"Duplicity has drawn a lot of comparisons to Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which does a great disservice to both films. Smith is the far superior film of the genre, and there is no way for Duplicity to reach its high level with this story, style, and quite frankly, the weaker acting. Duplicity follows two spies, […]

Prepare to have your minds blown, because here comes some exposition of epic proportions (preempted by a little reaction of my own): After watching Reefer Madness I was a little […]
Read more "Rental Review – Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical"The Last House on the Left is a gratuitous (both nudity and violence wise), brutal look at what people are willing to do to those who harm their family, and unfortunately, takes this revenge plot a bit too far. During the summer, Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) and her family decide to vacation at their lake […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Last House on the Left (Unrated Edition)"We’ve all been there. Making friends can be a scary experience, full of rejection and awkward attempts to impress others with menial talents and sentence forming capabilities, all in the hopes of finding that special someone to share your bucket of chalk with as you draw beautiful murals on the sidewalk. Oh to be five […]
Read more "Rental Review – I Love You, Man"Although 17 Again revisits a story that has had many incarnations already, from Big (1988) to 13 Going on 30 (2004), as this movie proves, sometimes its nice to revisit the past. 17 Again begins in the best years of Mike O’Donnell life. He’s the star of the high school basketball team, he’s in love […]
Read more "Rental Review – 17 Again"These days it is not hard to find a movie or novel pertaining to the horrors of WWII, rarely do these stories rise above the usual sob story and become something more uplifting. Such is the case of Defiance. This film tells the true story of four Jewish brothers (three of which are played by […]
