#48 – Birdman

There is a vibrance and an energy to Birdman that starts right from the opening frame and really continues to that final look out of the window.  A movie that straddles the line between dream and reality, where the camera seems to never leave the actors and one where the actors are given a showcase…

#11 – This Is Where I Leave You

A solid movie about family and loss.  A couple unnecessary story lines and Adam Driver was really miscast but overall a good movie.  With such an impressive cast that includes Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Corey Stoll, it’s absolutely worth seeing. Recommend? Yes, it’s a good family comedy and we don’t get a lot of…

#5 – Welcome To The Jungle

Jean-Claude Van Damme continues his great pick of recent roles with a hilarious corporate retreat farce.  Rob Huebel is hilarious as the foil and Adam Brody plays a great straight man.  Stupid and silly yet hilarious, one of the better comedies I’ve seen in a long while. Recommend? For sure, Rob Heubel and Jean-Claude are…

#23 – Better Living Through Chemistry

I lost interest in this movie pretty quickly.  Thin characters and an alright story, I just couldn’t find a way to stay interested.  Sam Rockwell gives his usual great performance but when you don’t really care about any of the characters then there’s really no reason to stick around.  Not horrible, just not very good.…

Spy

I’m a big fan of the Action/Comedy genre and this looks like a great addition! This one has all of the hallmarks to be a summer hit.  Paul Feig has a great track record in such a short period of time and I love the blend of the comedic standouts Melissa McCarthy and Allison Janney…

Entourage

Like it or not, an Entourage movie is coming. I’ll be honest, I thought the Entourage guys started to get tired towards the end so I’m not even sure if I’m excited for this movie, but I will admit that the trailer is great.  Hopefully it’s a satisfying end to the series.

Trainwreck

It seems like the good summer comedy has become an afterthought with superhero movies and action sequels, but Trainwreck looks great! Amy Schumer, Bill Hader and Judd Apatow…yup, sign me up.  A comedy with cameos and a great actress in the lead I’m really excited to see this one.  Apatow consistently brings the funny and…
