#150 – Spy

Spy is a movie that should be celebrated more but sadly will have a brief moment to shine before being bowled over by bigger Summer blockbusters.  The spy genre has been an easy target lately with several spoofs and send up films but few have had the great mix of parody and reverence as well…

#143 – The Duff

A pretty by-the-numbers teenage romantic comedy.  Everything you figure to happen, does and nothing is very surprising except for the excellent performances pretty much across the board.  Mae Whitman is strong in the lead role (although I completely disagree with her designation as The DUFF and once you look up that term you should as…

#114 – Brick Mansions

Just a solid and exciting action film here.  Nothing exceptional but a good enough story to keep you interested and a few fun performances.  RZA overacts but even that is fun to watch, but the elephant in the room is Paul Walker.  Walker once again shows that he’s good in these types of roles but…

#128 – Zombeavers

Okay look, I love a ridiculous, out of control, horror comedy as much as the next guy but when the main characters are as loathsome as these ones and the comedy can’t even bring out a chuckle, well then you’ve failed.  Of anyone I know, I was most looking forward to this movie because of…

My Most Anticipated Movies Of June

While looking at the June movie schedule you may not be as excited as the other Summer months, but what the month may lack in volume like May for example, it now has the opportunity to make up for in quality as June offers your usual blockbusters but also some indie releases that have tons…

#111 – Lucy

I really don’t need a reason to see Scarlett Johansson kick ass for an hour and twenty minutes so this was an easy selection for me.  Everything is great except for that last twenty minutes when things really go off the rails.  That first hour though is so much fun and has some great action.…

#63 – House Of Cards Season 3

This is probably my favorite season of the political drama that established Netflix as a real player in the original entertainment game.  Every season of House Of Cards has it’s flaws and this season is no exception, but overall I found myself liking this season much better than the last and I felt its high…

#113 – Joy Ride 3: Roadkill

Nothing about this movie is scary, the horror scenes are dull and none of the characters are interesting let alone compelling.  I should’ve wrote this review right after I watched it because I hardly remember a thing about it except the feeling of dullness.  Maybe had I seen the first 2 Joy Ride films it…

#125 – Dawg Fight

I really enjoy Billy Corben as a filmmaker and was looking forward to this documentary about backyard brawls in Florida, but I never could get a handle on what he was trying to say.  This came off more as a hype film than than anything else.  I enjoyed how the film was shot and learning more…
