Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a kinetic, and often times perfect, adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s fantastic comic series and is a movie that is unlike almost anything you have ever seen. Scott Pilgrim is a nice guy, but he can be kind of a dick, and rather oblivious, but ultimately he […]
Read more "Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World"Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables is a man on a mission, action all stars extravaganza being sold as an explosion a minute yarn. But if it wasn’t for a solid final 25 minutes or so of non-stop action then this film would have been a colossal failure of its potential. Now I hate to feel a […]
Read more "Review: The Expendables"Based on this title there are three things in the world needed to bring oneself out of an overwhelming depression that has ruined one’s sense of direction in life. First one must eat to build strength and energy for the long journey ahead. With a full stomach and a foot placed hesitantly on the trail, […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Eat Pray Love"Eat Pray Love is a dull and poorly executed picture that meanders, is no where near as good as it thinks it is, and fails to engage or fill us with emotion almost every step of the way. Liz Gilbert isn’t happy in life and when she decides she can’t take it any more she […]
Read more "Review: Eat Pray Love"The first feature film from the brilliant British duo Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais is a bit more of a dramatic affair but still serves as an excellent, if a tad conventional, portrait of an era with their excellent blend of humor, sadness, and reality.

Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz are not the guys, that title is held by Detectives Highsmith and […]
Read more "Review: The Other Guys"Rob Reiner’s Flipped is based around an interesting gimmick, flipping perspectives after every sequence from the boy to the girl’s perspective, but it is rarely used to any real effect. Added to this, Reiner and companies attempt to capture the 60’s doesn’t quite work as well as they think it does. Bryce didn’t really like […]
Read more "Review: Flipped"Step Up 3D is a clichéd narrative nightmare but when its focus is dance the film works pretty damn well. The film, oddly enough, is also a saving grace for the 3D medium after a series of mediocre post conversions that have enraged many avid filmgoers. The story for this installment of Step Up seems […]
Read more "Review: Step Up 3D"If you are like me then Will Ferrell acting out the role of a cop gunning down criminals is an intriguing thought. I mean, he’s done pretty much everything else at this point, so why not fill the shoes of an action star? Unfortunately the film’s poster isn’t really an appropriate representation considering you can’t […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – The Other Guys"Exit Through the Gift Shop is about as entertaining as a documentary can get. And while its subject matter, street art, is fascinating, the third act of this film will have you wondering if the wool is being pulled over your eyes; in a good way. The film is directed by famous street artist, Banksy, […]
