I have just watched 27 minutes of this hour and half movie, and my bootleg copy has locked up. But I am THANKFUL. If you don’t know the back story this, it is so bad it’s funny. If you know the back story, it is so atrocious it’s hilarious!! DISCLAIMER: I am acting IN this…
First, let me just say, I am a huge fan of Tim Burton. And that ain’t easy, sometimes, let me tell you as you’re trying to sit through a remake of… well, any remake he has made. But From Pee Wee’s Big Adventure to Edward Scissorhands to yes, even Sleepy Hollow, I enjoy my time…
I love Bill Murray. We all do, don’t we? He can nearly do no wrong. Ok, he’s done a few movies he’d probably like to forget about, but let’s face it, even a bad Bill Murray movie is still pretty watchable. Remember Quick Change, or Larger Than Life, the one with the elephant? I know,…
Stories like this are why I love movies. This film is everything that is good about filmmaking. The Fault in Our Stars is about two teenagers who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love. Based on the book, and adapted beautifully, Fault gives a real and human view about people dealing with…
A movie about an eccentric experimental/pop band whose leader is a guy that wears a big goofy plastic head ALL the time? And the trailers were pretty funny. Frank looked promising indeed.

When I was 13, I bought a beat-up copy of Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies album at a yard sale, and was amazed that anyone would part with such a treasure for $1. Cooper’s “School’s Out” still fills me with teenage rebellion despite the fact that I’m nearly 40 years beyond teenaged. I’m such a…
I saw Chef with Jon Favreau and it is sweet but seriously distracting. The distraction comes from the fact that it’s You’ve Got Mail mashed with Food Network, sponsored by Twitter, and made by a guy that is well-respected by famous people. The main plot involves hotshot chef (Favreau) in a rut and not…
Lucy has alerted the Paris police that a larger group of Chinese mobsters are coming to the university. IN ONE TRACKING SHOT – A mass of police cars screech to a halt and 50 cops run into the building while DIRECTLY across the street five black BMWs are parked end to end with the…
Imagine a film where Leatherface meets Freddie AND Mike Myers, and others, and THEN they all go on a road trip in a Winnebago to a lake side resort, where tables are turned and they are terrorized for change! Smothered is that film. A funny indie horror film written and directed by Superman’s Dad, Dukes…
