I used to be a huge horror movie fan as a kid. I loved scary movies. I even enjoyed some of the slasher stuff in the 80’s, like Friday the 13th and such. But as I, and the horror movie ideas, got older, I lost faith in them. I now prefer scary movies, not gore…
Ok, remember that I like monster movies? You would if you paid attention to my intro thing. It’s worth noting here because, as you may know, Cloverfield is a monster movie. Well, sort of. It’s more just a movie with a monster IN IT. It’s really about a group of people that get caught up…
I totally scored a date for this one. My current maybe-the-one simply refused to see “Made of Honor” with me, but lit up a little when I suggested “Son of Rambow.” We loved “Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a day” and this had the same kind of vibe. Kind of English and foreign and cutesty and…
Okay, I love a romantic comedy as much as the next guy. Wait, what guys? Were any guys anywhere near this movie? None with balls. Audience-wise, there were a lot of “girl dates.” Girls-night-out sort of thing. There were some older couples and some dudes that were clearly willing to do anything to score. Like,…
What happens in Vegas…. makes a crappy movie. Well, that may be a strong word. There are super fun parts. And it’s got a lot of that stuff you want movies to have, sexy fun and games and all. But it’s just so, so movie-ish. At no point are you feeling like you’re watching people…
Okay, I went and saw “Sex and the City” this weekend. Again, stag. I cannot get my man to see these chick flicks with me. And, again, I rather admire him for it. And it’s not like this is a regular chick flick. This is chick flick on steroids. It’s the chickiest. It was all…
Two letters: P and U. Oof. Not a good date movie. Because it makes you hate love. And Mike Myers. And India. And Canada, just for good measure. Look, I’m not going to lie to you. I heard it was bad. But, it’s Mike Myers, right? I mean, how bad can he be? He’s Shrek,…
Dear Meryl Streep, Are you okay? Do you need money? Did someone kidnap you and make you do this movie? Blink twice if you need help. I will send someone to get you. I appreciate that you’re breaking out of your Oscary movies. You were amazing in “Devil Wears Prada” and really raised the bar…
More like “Kymmie Getting High.” What? Surely you’ve heard by now that the movie is about Anne Hathaway as drug addict Kym, on leave from rehab to attend her sister’s wedding. That’s sweet, right? Well, it’s very quickly shown that Kym’s a bit of a pariah. Then it’s very quickly shown why: she’s a total…
It’s not often I wish I were 15 again. But this movie, ah, this movie—this one’s for the Teen Horny Nerd Girls. I heard them in the lobby, “Oh my god! I love your shirt!” One shrieked and giggled at a stranger. It was just a “Twilight” t-shirt. That’s what this movie is doing to…
