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.
The Secret World Of Arrietty Is A Wondrous Place!
The Studio Ghibli adaptation of Mary Norton’s The Borrowers, The Secret World Of Arrietty, is a tiny tale told extraordinarily well.

Queen: Days Of Our Lives is Perfect for ANY Queen fan
Queen: Days Of Our Lives is an excellent documentary that was put together for the “World’s Greatest Rock Band”. This special collection of Queen footage was directed by Matt O’Casey and produced by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas. The remaining band members of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had asked Lupton and Thomas to […]
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 […]
