Film Review: In Time

In Time is a mess of a movie with a weak script, little story, and a great allegory to go along with its creative premise.

Film Review: The Rum Diary

Years ago when Captain Jack Sparrow was wondering where all the rum had gone, he probably would have never guessed that it was being stockpiled for another movie by the man filling his shoes. That traitor! Johnny Depp’s appropriately titled new film, The Rum Diary, has lots of rum, and not much else.

ESPN Films Review: The Real Rocky

Tonights documentary The Real Rocky by Jeff Feuerzeig was the story of former heavy weight boxer, Chuck Wepner. Wepner has lived most of his life as a traveling liquor salesman and continues to earn his living through that trade to this day. Boxing was never Chuck’s main priority in life but it was something he […]

Open Thread – Games: A Scarier Format Than Film?

Lauren: With Halloween coming up just around the corner, now is the time to up your yearly dose of horror infused entertainment. Personally I love the genre, but films are one thing, while video games are something else. They are the killer sharpening his blade in my closet while he softly, albeit menacingly, whispers my […]

For Your Renting Pleasure

Week after week I apparently find ways to theme my rentals without realizing it beforehand. Scratch that, I totally did it on purpose, and you know it’s true cuz I said totally.

Film Review: The Thing (2011)

The Thing prequel from Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. is not only a worthy follow up to John Carpenter’s 1982 film but is also able to blaze enough of its own path while seamlessly connecting to its “follow up.”

Film Review: Footloose (2011)

Footloose is a silly, stereotypical, and safe love story that is elevated by director Craig Brewer, who makes it fun with a heart that will undoubtedly entertain all that are interested.

Film Review: The Thing

If any of you read my “For Your Renting Pleasure” post from last week then you would have seen that I just watched the original The Thing (1982), and though I didn’t get the appeal of that film, I was not going to let it stomp out my excitement for this prequel.

ESPN Films Review: The Dotted Line

This week ESPN Films gave us The Dotted Line by Morgan Spurlock. The Dotted Line is a documentary that gives us a glimpse into the life of sports agents. Morgan Spurlock is the man most famous for being the guy who ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days in his documentary Super Size Me. His […]

The Breakdown: Marvel’s The Avengers Trailer

Last night the ALCS game ran long on FOX due to extra innings, so neither Nate or myself got more than 8 minutes of Terra Nova’s episode recorded. Lucky us, if FOX is still doing their “make you suffer” game of posting shows 8 days after airing, we’re gonna have to wait a while to […]
