A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas is the most profane and irreverent holiday film since Bad Santa. But is it any good? Well, it isn't in the same league as Terry Zwigoff's dark holiday flick aimed at folks who don't like holiday flicks, but it does offer up a handful of hilarious (if a tad disgu... [More]

Arthur Christmas

Arthur Christmas

This latest animated effort from Aardman Animation (Wallace and Gromit and Flushed Away) puts a lively spin on the Santa Claus legend. Arthur is a young man with a most interesting life. He works in the mail room at Santa's Workshop and if that weren't grand enough, it just so happens that Santa... [More]

Being Elmo

Being Elmo

If Disney's The Muppets represents pure cinematic joy then the new documentary Being Elmo represents the joy behind that joy. Chronicling the life of muppeteer Kevin Clash, this wonderful movie--which I was fortunate enough to catch at the recent Red Rock Film Festival-- tells the story of a creat... [More]

50/50

50/50

The new dramedy 50/50 takes subject matter that isn't at all funny and manages to paint a portrait that's hard not to laugh at. 50/50 features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a twenty-seven year old who discovers he has cancer. Like I said, not very funny subject matter. Tell that to Seth Rogen who appears... [More]

Real Steel

Real Steel

Real Steel offers up some of the best special effects of the year, but at its core, this is another underdog sports film with a father/son story at the center. In fact, I wonder if Sylvester Stallone was a ghost writer on this bad boy, because this Sock Em' meets Transformers adventure certainly has... [More]

The Thing

The Thing

Before commencing with this review, it should be noted that John Carpenter's The Thing is my all time favorite horror picture. I even prefer it to Howard Hawkes' original. This new version of The Thing has billed itself as a prequel to Carpenter's movie and focuses on the Norwegian Arctic research t... [More]

Paranormal Activity 3

Paranormal Activity 3

Paranormal Activity 3 really surprised me. While this ghost story is certainly more of the same, I'll be damned if it still didn't generate spine tingling scares. The entire experience was like taking in a solid Spook Alley attraction. This latest installment of the enduring franchise continues the... [More]

Puss in Boots

Puss in Boots

Puss In Boots offers up a cute back-story for a Shrek favorite. While this simple family film (laced with sporadic adult humor) has energy and vibrant images to spare, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I had seen some footage from Puss In Boots back in March and I was really impressed.... [More]

Apollo 18

Apollo 18

Apollo 18 uses the "Found Footage" concept to less than startling effect. It features a couple of astronauts dealing with a strange situation on the surface of the moon. Upon landing, our two leads discover a deserted Russian craft and shortly thereafter, a strange infection begins to drive one of t... [More]

Shark Night 3D

Shark Night 3D

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but Shark Night 3-D is pretty entertaining! In fact, aside from Our Idiot Brother and Midnight in Paris, it might just be the funniest movie of the year thus far. I know what your thinking; "I thought Shark Night was a horror movie." That may be true but if you... [More]

The Lion King

The Lion King

Disney's The Lion King returns to theaters with an impressive 3D facelift, but even without the 3D, it would still be worth seeing in the theater again. And in fact, upon watching this gorgeous digital print, I'm still trying to figure out why The Lion King wasn't nominated for a Best Picture Oscar... [More]

MoneyBall

MoneyBall

Brad Pitt turns in a wonderfully engaging performance as Billy Beane, an ex-underachiever of a pro baseball player who ultimately gets a new lease in life as the GM for the Oakland A's. Moneyball--which is based on a true story-- delves into the inner workings of the baseball player trade industry a... [More]

Red State

Red State

Billed as a horror movie, Kevin Smith's first supposed foray into the genre is really more of a "extremists causing chaos" movie. It certainly has a horror movie set up (evoking Eli Roth's Hostel), but then it quickly switches gears. As Red State opens, three horny teens answer an online ad inviting... [More]

The Help

The Help

The Help is a film that could have gone south really fast (ironic given that the film takes place in the south). Its an earnest movie that pulls at the heartstrings nearly every second but the spectacular cast bring sincerity, warmth, and honesty to nearly every frame and ultimately, that's why the... [More]

Final Destination 5

Final Destination 5

FINAL DESTINATION 5 (R) Starring Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell, Tony Todd, and Tom Crui...er...I mean Miles Fisher Wow! This was a surprise. Final Destination 5 is a lot of fun! It doesn't really take the franchise in a new direction (in that regard, its sort of a throwback to the horror franchises... [More]
