Trailer: The Internship–Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson Poke at Google!
Two unemployed salesmen – Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson – try to finagle their way into an internship at Google in hopes of it leading to real jobs. I’m not sure if this is sad or what – but it is funny! The question is whether it will lead to another Wedding Crashers or just […]
It’s a Good Day to Kill a Franchise!
As a fan of even the fourth entry in the Die Hard franchise, which introduced John McClane’s estranged daughter Lucy, it is my sad duty to announce that A Good Day to Die Hard is not just the worst entry in the series, but one of the worst movies I’ve seen over the last few […]
Taken 2: Second Verse Same As The First!
In Taken, Liam Neeson’s Bryan Mills tracked down the human traffickers who’d kidnapped his daughter and killed them. In Taken 2, relatives of the men he killed come after him seeking vengeance – but even with some serious attempts to do something different, the sequel is still too much of the same thing.
Glee Crash PSA: Stop the Texts, Stop the Wrecks!
In a scene from Glee, the possible results of texting while driving were horrifically laid out as Dianna Agron’s character, Quinn Fabray, took her eyes off the road for five seconds to respond to a text. Now that scene is being used as one of a series of PSAs urging young drivers to ‘Stop the […]
Prometheus Is Spectacular!
Ridley Scott returns to the Alien universe with a spectacular movie that asks the big questions and suggests the possibility that we might not like the answers.
International Trailer For Prometheus Includes New Footage!
This movie just looks more and more intriguing!
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.
Chronicle – Kids Just Want to Have Super Fun!
Chronicle is not a superhero movie – even though it has kids who gain superpowers. Instead, it’s a chronicle of the way kids might really behave if they gained such abilities – and it’s both delightful and terrifying.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Doesn’t Monkey Around!
The trailers for Rise of the Planet of the Apes haven’t exactly been riveting, so I was lukewarm on checking it out. On the other hand, seeing a would-be blockbuster that wasn’t trying to artificially its box office with 3D levies was appealing. In a plain, old-fashioned theater – no 3D, no special big screen […]
Gleeks See Glee 3D Movie A Day Earlier Than Everyone Else and Get some Swag!
I know many of you probably expect me to hate on the idea of a Glee 3D Concert movie but I am a Gleek. There I said it. I had tickets for the show at Verizon Center in DC (not comped, out of my own pocket!) and couldn’t go because of my recent move to […]
