Hey, there’s some event weekend called, I believe, The Academy Awards, where they give away this little fake gold statue to a bunch of spoiled rich actors. They nominate Meryl Streep EVERY year for Best Actress – for no real reason. I guess it is so we can always see the shot of her disappointment […]

Wanderlust – Yet Another Vulgar Comedy With Heart From The Judd Apatow Laugh Factory!
Judd Apatow may not have directed Wanderlust [that would be David Wain], but his instincts as a producer remain pretty much flawless. Like last year’s Bridesmaids, the trailers for Wanderlust really don’t begin to hint at how funny it really is.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Michelle’s Review
Somehow I missed out on the millions of voices screaming for a sequel to Nicolas Cage’s 2007 Ghost Rider movie. The original wasn’t exactly well received by fans, but it must have made enough money to convince the Producers to give it another go in a “bigger” and more “showy” version. I liked the first […]
The Crank Guys Energize Ghost Rider!
I was in the minority when it came to Ghost Rider, a few years back. It worked as a western, a biker flick, and a superhero movie. I also love the work of the Crank guys, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. So I was pretty stoked to see Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.
Of Course You Realize… This Means War!
This Means War is a truly bizarre mash-up of bromance, romantic comedy, spy flick and Bugs Bunny. Tonally, it’s all over the place and, frankly, it makes sense only infrequently. Prior to its release, I could say with confidence that I had never actually felt guilty about liking a movie. Now, I’m flummoxed.

Safe House brings two Mega Stars Together. Michelle’s Review
Safe House is a fun, but ultimately pointless spy thriller that is more big action sequences than necessarily being the “mystery thriller” it wants to be. This movie hinges on the chemistry between its two leads Denzel Washington (Tobin Frost) and Ryan Reynolds (Matt Weston). On paper it seems like a weird pairing but it […]
