(PART ONE OF TWO) The entertainment industry is changing. Everyone knows that. Even the thickest executive to the most stoned production assistant sees the writing on the wall. Usually when you hear the industry is changing, it’s meaningless execuspeak for wall street earnings reports or it’s an excuse for lowball contract negotiations with writers directors…
DetailsAs a comic it’s hard to find a mainstream Hollywood comedy that I like. Usually they are watered down, or family friendly nonsense that makes me want to pull my ears off. Like if I have to see one more romantic “comedy” trailer where someone bumps their head and a multiplex full of dolts laughs,…
DetailsOMFG. Michael Bay just masturbated into my eyes. That’s the only way I can accurately describe this $200 million dollar cinematic fuck you. It really was horrible. The movie was summed up in one scene, when Shia Le Pew is in his college dorm and there is a “Bad Boys II” poster on the wall.…
DetailsThe thing about Pixar, is they have raised the bar for themselves. When you go to a Pixar movie, you expect that it’s going to be awesome. That it needs to be. If not, you’re going to be disappointed. Well, guess what? “Up” is indeed fantastic. By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old…
DetailsIt has been a long time since I have walked out of a movie. I can stomach a lot. But I could not stomach this childish, contrived celluloid lobotomy. I tried to stay, I really did. I made it to close to an hour and a half, and now I want to thank the Arclight…

DetailsOK, so it’s finally here. But is it any good? I think it is. But there were some parts I was REALLY not sure about. But here’s the thing: This movie is going to make a lot of people angry and a lot of people happy. Which will you be? KINDA SPOILER ALERT BUT NOT…
DetailsSometimes movies are exactly what you expect. Sometimes they’re more, sometimes less. It’s all about expectations. If you want to see this movie, I’m not really sure what you’re expecting. If you’re expecting a gritty realistic crime drama with twists and turns you’re going to be sorely disappointed. If you’re a Keanu Reeves fan then–…
DetailsOkay, I didn’t like “Little Miss Sunshine”. Sorry. I thought it was contrived and forced and had every indie screenwriter cliché shoved into it and down the audience’s throat. The performances, which were excellent, masked these weaknesses and went all the way to fooling the Academy, which by the way, isn’t that hard to do…
DetailsThe taking of my $12: 1, 2, 3… See? The jokes write themselves. This movie was like watching a bubble float by. Pretty for about three seconds and then it pops and you forget it ever existed. It’s the story of… does it matter? Travolta playing a wall street psycho who hijacks a subway train…
