Scream 4

Scream 4

Scream 4 actually opens fairly strong with a cleverly entertaining play on the sheer predictability of the the genre. But then, the plot kicks into gear, ultimately displaying...well...the sheer predictability of the genre. Sure, Scream 4 is lovingly self referrencial and it's nice to see director W... [More]

Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles

There were times during Battle: Los Angeles when I wasn't sure if I was watching a sci-fi war film or a recruitment video for the Marines. "The few. The proud. The Marines." Not that I have a problem with the Marines. Far from it. I guess I just didn't expect that kind of a vibe from this kind of a... [More]

Rango

Rango

Wow! The year is early but for my money, Rango emerges as the best film of 2011 thus far. In Gore Verbinski's animated feature, Johnny Depp voices the title character, an eager chameleon out to solve the mystery behind a water shortage in the desert town of Dirt. Rango is certainly on the adult side... [More]

Paul

Paul

Ultimately, Paul is one of those films that should be much funnier and far more clever than it actually is. It features the hilarious pairing of Brits Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (this dynamic duo--who appeared in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz--also wrote the screenplay) as a couple of film geeks fro...

The Lincoln Lawyer

The Lincoln Lawyer

After nearly a decade of smiling, preening, and taking his shirt off in a plethora of less than satisfactory rom-coms, Matthew McConaughey returns to the Courtroom in The Lincoln Lawyer - a thriller that is all but tailor made for the actor's sensibilities. And he doesn't take his shirt off once in... [More]

Limitless

Limitless

Limitless has been brought to you by Charlie Sheen. All joking aside, this is a damn entertaining film if a tad reckless. There will be those who refuse to defend it because of it's apparent pro-drug use stance, but I'm not one of those people. In Limitless, Bradley Cooper plays a down on his luck... [More]

Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids is a quirky delight. It features Ed Helms (of The Hangoer, and The Office) as Tim Lippie, a naive insurance salesman whose sent to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to attend an insurance convention after the head honcho at his firm croaks. What follows is a chain reaction of incidents that open Helm... [More]

Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch

Zack Snyder's overly stylized (and terribly long) Sucker Punch is by no means a masterwork, but its hardly the pile of crap some would have you believe. It's an ambitious, mind numbing, mess of a movie that has the sheer audacity to fuse the likes of Moulin Rouge, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a... [More]

Monsters

Monsters

Looking for a unique genre picture to check out on DVD? May I suggest Monsters? True, the set up has a District 9/Cloverfield/The Mist ring to it, but Monsters earns extra points for a quiet, atmospheric slant. As the film opens, we are introduced to a planet now over-run with alien life forms. Terr... [More]

Sanctum 3D

Sanctum 3D

From producer James Cameron comes a survivalist adventure about a team of adrenalin junky/explorers who find themselves trapped in a deep, uncharted cave system in the South Pacific. Sanctum is one of those films that should be 100 times more intense than it actually is, and the entire time I sat th... [More]

Unknown

Unknown

Odd that its taken Liam Neeson all these years to become a bonafide action star. The trailer for Unknown would have you believe that this is a Taken sequel of sorts. Actually, aside from the fact that both films are thrillers and both star Liam Neeson, Unknown and Taken have very little in common. U... [More]

I Am Number Four

I Am Number Four

Some folks are calling I Am Number 4 Twilight with aliens instead of vampires. While there is some logic in that statement, I Am Number 4 has an entirely different tone. This sci fi flick (based on the novel by Pittacus Lore) features Alex Pettyfer as John - a young man who moves from town to town... [More]

Drive Angry

Drive Angry

Drive Angry is the latest film to try and tap into the glorious exploitation craze of the 70's and while it certainly has a fair share of insanity and a much welcome trashy sensibility, it comes up a little short. Where films like Piranha and Machete managed to excel. Nicolas Cage plays a calm and c... [More]

Hall Pass

Hall Pass

Those wacky Farrelly Brothers are at it again with Hall Pass, a raunchy R rated comedy featuring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis as a couple of buddies whose wives grant them a week long hall pass (translation; they're given a week off from marriage). First, the good news. Hall Pass is much better th... [More]

The Company Men

The Company Men

Coming out just over a year after Jason Reitman's outstanding Up in the Air, The Company Men feels almost dated by comparison. This drama about corporate downsizing was written and directed by John Wells (one of the many talented individuals involved in the creation of NBC's E.R.), and while it do... [More]
