The Karate Kid remake is more of in spirit re-imagining but the result is an effective family film that avoids sap, teaches good morals/lessons, and features a couple of great turns by its two leads. Dre and his Mom are forced to move to China as times are tough in Detroit and if Dre’s mom […]
Read more "Review: The Karate Kid"Letters to Juliet is another entry into the romantic comedy genre that is about as cookie cutter as cookie cutters can get. It is predictable, cheesy, and underwhelming more often than not, but somehow even though I was rolling my eyes at it all, I couldn’t help but be charmed by the familiar love story. […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Letters to Juliet"2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall introduced the scene-stealing character of Aldous Snow, who quite deservingly got a spin-off of his own with Get Him to the Greek. Though it was not exactly what I hoped for, it had enough hilarious bits to tip the scales in a favorable direction. Following the events of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Get Him to the Greek"The Forgetting Sarah Marshall spin off, Get Him to the Greek, is a scatter shot of randomness and hilarious that is a tad disjointed but more than makes up for any awkwardness with some great humor from its three leads. The film picks up sometime after Sarah Marshall’s timeline, Aldous Snow is no longer sober […]
Read more "Review: Get Him to the Greek"Vincenzo Natali’s latest is a weird, interesting, and often messed up creature feature that isn’t the horror movie it is being sold as until the third act, in which it pretty much wastes all of its well earned curiosity and enjoyment by going from something almost wholly original to riddled with cliché. The film follows […]
Read more "Review: Splice"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time may not be the most faithful adaptation, but it still keeps the spirit of the video game alive in this production in its representation of the comedy, characters, and action of the fan favorite game. The brief backstory of this incarnation of the Sands of Time story starts […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time"I sure hope the man upstairs is too busy going about his Godly chores to sit down and watch this movie, because if he does, Legion might just be reason enough to bring on the next apocalypse. As the story goes, when God loses faith in mankind he catastrophically shakes his global Etch-A-Sketch to clear […]
Read more "Rental Review – Legion"This could be the best video game adaptation yet, certainly the best looking, but it still feels all too clichéd and familiar even though the action is pretty exciting at times and there is a lot of it. The film follows Dastan, a street urchin plucked into royalty after the king sees him perform a […]
Read more "Review: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time"The sequel to Sex and the City on the silver screen excels past the first film, unfortunately that film was a big steaming pile of awfulness, and while this films first act starts off on a fairly right foot it crumbles in it’s final after laboring and dragging through the middle. The film picks up […]
Read more "Review: Sex and the City 2"The latest Shrek film greatly improves upon the abysmal third film and while it feels a tad to greatest hits and unoriginal it is solid fun and works when it isn’t trying to use pop songs for humor. Shrek is a bit tired of family life and the routine and while he loves his family […]
