We all have our little rituals that guide us through our life. These are the things we do every day, week, month or year depending upon what it is we’re talking about. For every year since I was a small child around this time a year when it is approaching the Thanksgiving holiday I always make it a point to block out some time to … Continue reading Planes, Trains, & Automobiles Review
The great movie ‘Fargo’ has forever strained my ability to trust any movie that claims itself to be a “true story”. Fargo did that in its opening credits as an inside joke on the audience (one that, according to legend actually inspired a person to go searching for the lost money in that story). The story of Fargo was completely fictional, but indeed, it was … Continue reading Pain & Gain Review
Lately Hollywood has been coming up with a plethora of very intriguing and potential filled ideas upon which could be made a great number of entertaining films. It’s just too bad that only a scant few of these movies have been able to rise up to the promise of their premise. A drug dealer whose life depends on his skills of deception and disguising himself … Continue reading We’re The Millers Review
When I was a child, I was a huge fan of the original Men in Black, so much so that when my dad was shopping for a new (new to us anyway) car the summer of my 12th birthday I talked him into getting the exact same 1980’s Ford LTD that was used in that movie. Call it effective marketing or just good timing but … Continue reading R.I.P.D Review
America has produced only three great writers as we are told in this movie’s opening narration voiced by Robert De Niro in the character of Jonathan Flynn, that being Mark Twain, J.D Salinger, and himself. He is, as a matter of indisputable fact, quite delusional. And it is this movie’s object to make him both eccentrically lovable and existentially loathable at the same time, a task … Continue reading Being Flynn Review
Here’s the plot breakdown for the unlucky (or perhaps I should say lucky since you will get to experience this for the first time still) few of you who have not seen this movie. Jake & Elwood Blues are faced with a serious dilemma when they find out that the orphanage they grew up in is going to be condemned unless the back taxes can … Continue reading The Blues Brothers Review
Jonas Nightengale is a traveling evangelist, who goes from town to town conning people out of their money in return for his dog and pony Jesus show. One fateful day his tour bus breaks down in a sleepy Kansas town in the middle of a bad drought. Not being one to forgo any opportunity to cash in, he decides to set up and ply his … Continue reading Leap of Faith Review
Vin, Vin, Vin, Vin. What were you thinking? You’re an action guy. You blow shit up. It’s all good to try and do comedy, because comedy kicks ass, but…this was…not good. Diesel stars as Lt. Shane Wolfe, a Navy SEAL trained to fight in the most dangerous and impossible situations known to man. So imagine his surprise when he is told he must “baby-sit” the … Continue reading The Pacifier Review
This is a delightful movie about lovably crazy people. Silver Linings Playbook was smartly written, wonderfully acted, and full of life from beginning to end. If you want the gist of this review without reading through all of the below banter, I’ll sum it up with this. Go see this movie. Matthew Quick, the author of the novel from which this movie was based, and … Continue reading Silver Linings Playbook Review
For the sake of being fair to this movie in this review, there’ll be no comparisons made between “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” or “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, because no one can play the role of Willy Wonka the way Gene Wilder did. With that said, Johnny Depp performed the role brilliantly, as he does pretty much every character. Poor kid Charlie Bucket … Continue reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Review
