When you first hear the words Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter there are several thoughts it immediately conjures including; laughter, disbelief and the standard “my god what a stupid concept.” The title of the movie sounds like one of those cheesy Syfy channel Saturday night movies. Another great thing about this title – it tells you […]

Brave: Pixar Bounces Back With A Celtic Fable!
With its first ‘princess’ movie, Brave, Pixar recovers from the creative (though not financial) disaster that was Cars 2. The story of Merida, the tomboy teen at the heart of Brave, takes familiar princess tropes and spins them enough to feel fresh and fun. And, as always, the animation is stunning.
Prometheus is no Pirahna 3D! Michelle’s Review!
Director Ridley Scott‘s name instantly inspires awe and wonder in many filmgoers’ minds. I had the amazing experience of meeting the man and watching him direct an episode of his hit TV Show Numbers. With that said, I think I must have been the only one who wasn’t particularly excited when he announced that he was […]

This movie is almost the perfect example of a film without soul and I have almost nothing constructive to say about this movie, so you can stop reading this review now.
Michelle Loves Battleship!
As a visceral thing, the idea of making board games into Movies offends me on so many different levels. Its shows how creatively bankrupt Hollywood has become that they think that because people play a game like Life, Chutes and Ladders, or Monopoly that somehow there is material there for a movie. When I heard […]
Josh Brolin and Michael Stuhlbarg Steal Men in Black 3!
Men in Black 3 finds Agent J time-traveling to 1969 to save his partner, Agent K, from being killed before he can stop an alien invasion. It’s definitely better than MIB2, but nowhere near as good as MIB.
Sheldon Doesn’t Hate Battleship!
Battleship is Battle Los Angeles with character we can care about and a sense of humor. It takes the standard alien invasion flick and rejuvenates it by giving it a tenuous connection to a popular Hasbro board game and adding some twists of its own.
