Summer of Superheroes
If you’re like me Comedy Film Nerds, you have been worried about what the hell they’re going to do to the Marvel superheroes this summer.
X-Men: First Class Review
I was worried about X-Men: First Class when I heard it was an origin story, a reimaginging, younger versions of characters, etc. You hear all sorts of things before a comic book movie comes out. And we hear more than most people. In fact our ears often get clogged up with rumors, speculation and early buzz.
Super 8 Review
Super 8 is like J.J. Abrams’ love letter to Steven Spielberg’s films of the 1980’s. The comparisons are unavoidable, and yet I mean that in the best possible way.
Troll Hunter Review
I don’t know what’s going on in the Nordic part of the world, but I seriously fucking approve.
Green Lantern Review
This would have been a great movie if it came out ten years ago and Ryan Reynolds was cast ten years from now. (Oh split-time machine, where are you?) But these days we need comic book movies to do more, and we need actors who come from outside of a spa.
The Myth of the American Sleepover Review
I just saw a big budget, blockbuster summer movie and I loved it. It had it all. It wasn’t The Myth of the American Sleepover but stay with me. I enjoyed the big budget, blockbuster summer movie because it had action, romance, humor and great special effects. It got me to thinking: “What if a movie only gave you one emotion? Like, what if you walked away with just a feeling? Would that be enough? Would that be entertaining?” And then I saw David Robert Mitchell’s The Myth of the American Sleepover.
Midnight in Paris Review
Ok, I have a confession. I haven’t seen a Woody Allen film in the theater since, oh, maybe Shadows and Fog? And th e last Allen film I saw at all was Match Point. Yeah, I know, that’s reprehensible for someone who claims to love movies.
Bad Teacher Review
Not really sure why there is a “controversy” over this movie. Yes, she’s a bad teacher who drinks and gets high. Anyone REALLY never see that as a high school student? Think back a little harder to your metal shop, wood shop, or gym teachers.
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Review
When people applaud in a movie theater after the film is over, one might assume it’s because they enjoyed it so much they instinctively show their appreciation. When this occurs after Transformers 3, I can only assume it means the audience is thankful the film is over.
Horrible Bosses Review
You know, with all the comedies that come out, the glut of which have so much low brow humor, it’s refreshing when you see one tha you enjoy. Not to say there isn’t some low brow humor in Horrible Bosses, but thankfully, it’s actually FUNNY.
