For Your Renting Pleasure
As I go through the movies of 2012 that I didn’t manage to see while in theaters, I’m starting to realize that there’s probably a reason that I chose to skip out on some. Because once they’re seen, things like Dark Shadows and Rock of Ages can’t be unseen.

Rock of Ages is a travesty of a musical whose jukebox musical numbers never even comes close to topping their original counterparts and I would deem at least 50% of the film unwatchable.

The film opens up on Phil exclaiming that “it happened again,” and these […]

The Hangover Part II is a lazy, uncreative, and terrible film that improves nothing upon the first film and in fact it copies the original almost note for note to painful affect. You know the story, (no, literally, it’s exactly the same) Stu, Phil, and Alan go out and get so messed up that they […]

The latest from Tony Gilroy is not quite as good as his previous effort, but it is still a fun and fairly unconventional con game/spy/thriller that will have you scratching your head here and there as the plot unravels to the end. Ray Koval is former MI6, Claire Stenwick is former CIA, and after a […]
