Step Up 3D

Step Up 3D

Before getting to the actual review, I must confess; that I haven't seen the first two Step Up movies. I'm told it doesn't matter though, because none of the others have a whole lot to do with the other. Step Up 3D tells the story of an aspiring film maker and dance enthusiast (played by Rick Malamb... [More]

The Expendables

The Expendables

Recently, I boasted about The Expendables panel at Comic-Con. How cool it was. And how certain I was this movie was gonna kick ass! Alas, that panel was considerably better than the film. This isn't to say that The Expendables is a complete pile of crap, but it certainly doesn't live up to its manly... [More]

Piranha 3D

Piranha 3D

Piranha 3D is silly, bloodsoaked, and overflowing with gratuitous nudity, but when it comes to films about prehistoric piranha wreaking havoc on unsuspecting twenty somethings during spring break, it is--HANDS DOWN-- the best film of the summer. No, this isn't a rebirth of the modern horror picture,... [More]

Eat, Love, Pray

Eat, Love, Pray

A more appropriate title for this film might have been Eat Pray Love Sleep, and sleep is what I wanted to do most during this movie's obnoxiously long running time. I don't want to come across as the typical insensitive male type here. I know I'm not Eat Pray Love's target demographic, but seriously... [More]

The Last Exorcism

The Last Exorcism

Of all the strange plot happenings in the new thriller The Last Exorcism, perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the film is that it was produced by extreme horror meister Eli Roth (who served as an actor in Alexandre Aja's recently released Piranha 3D) and somehow still managed to acquire a PG-13 ra...

Predators

Predators

Had Predators come out a couple of years after John McTiernan's original, I might have slightly rejected it, but taking into consideration that it's over twenty years later and that we've had to bare witness to a sub-par sequel and two weak Alien Vs. Predator films, Predators feels like a godsend. A... [More]

Scott Pilgram Vs The World

Scott Pilgram Vs The World

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World is the latest energetic effort from director Edgar Wright (the witty Brit behind the masterful zombie homage Shaun of the Dead and the side splittingly hilarious actioneer send up Hot Fuzz). Based on Brian Lee O'Malley's graphic novel, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World features... [More]

Inception

Inception

Inception is the best movie of the summer and a clear contender for best film of the year. While this mind bender from the gifted Christopher Nolan offers up elements and themes featured in films like Dreamscape, Total Recall, The Matrix, Blade Runner and even A Nightmare on Elm Street, rest assured...

Mother and Child

Mother and Child

Director Rodrigo Garcia (who made the stellar Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her) once again juggles intersecting storylines. This time, the focus is mothers and daughters. In one plotline, a fiercely independent Naomi Watts plays an attorney who engages in a relationship with her boss (pla... [More]

Salt

Salt

The biggest mistake I made going into Salt was thinking it would be The Bourne Identity with a chick. That was probably a little too much to hope for. While Angelina Jolie can certainly kick ass with the best of them, she is no Jason Bourne. Salt moves at a brisk pace and it certainly offers up wond... [More]

Dinner For Scmucks

Dinner For Scmucks

A couple of months ago, I suggested that sheer star power alone made Date Night worth checking out. While poor writing and an incredibly generic plot could have killed that movie, Steve Carell and Tina Fey managed to make the proceedings watchable. Now, Carell is trying to pull this task off a secon... [More]

Get Him to the Greek

Get Him to the Greek

This Forgetting Sarah Marshall spinoff is sloppy and chaotic, but given that Get Him to the Greek is a broad, R rated comedy about sex, drugs and rock n' roll, I suppose that's perfectly appropriate. Taking a page from the playbook of one of the all time great bro-mance road movies--I'm referring to... [More]

Grown Ups

Grown Ups

If real life pals Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider went on a weekend retreat at a cabin in the woods, captured their adventures on video tape, and brought their home movies back to share with you the viewer, it might look a little like Grown Ups--a harmless all s...

The Kids Are Alright

The Kids Are Alright

Annette Benning and Julianne Moore are in top form as Nic and Jules, a married lesbian couple whose lives are turned upside down when their teenage children (played by Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson) make contact with Paul--the sperm donor responsible for helping bring Nic and Jules' kids into t...

A-TEAM

A-TEAM (PG-13) Starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinto "Rampage" Jackson, and Sharlto Copley Released by 20th Century Fox You're probably saying to yourself, "Is Adam off his rocker? He actually gave A-Team a B?" The truth is, perhaps I am a little off my rocker. It isn't like this flick,... [More]
