You're Next

You’re Next Review

I had been hearing about this film for quite some time.  Having made its run of the festival circuits in 2011 to a pretty good response I was surprised to see it take close to two years to get it’s theatrical release.  Though with Wingard and Barrett’s involvement with the well received horror anthology V/H/S/, it seemed that the film was actually gaining momentum in … Continue reading You’re Next Review

The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia Review

This kind of movie is normally far from my normal range of viewing material. I must confess my only reason for having seen it is due to it being a school assignment, and the only reason I’m writing about it is for the same purpose, so I figured, since this is kind of what I do anyway, that I might as well kill two birds … Continue reading The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia Review

World War Z

World War Z Review

Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, a former United Nations investigator, and leader of several small tactical forces, who is now retired from that line of work and attempting to enjoy a quiet life with his growing family when, you guessed it, the mother-trucking zombie apocalypse happens, again. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching movies such as this, is that in case of … Continue reading World War Z Review

Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting Review

  In a way this movie is like Rain Man for jaded intellectuals. Will Hunting is every bit as advanced as Dustin Hoffman’s character was in areas such as possessing a photographic memory of every academic book known to man, and solving mathematical equations that would cause even Einstein to light his hair on fire. He also is just as emotionally regressed and unable to … Continue reading Good Will Hunting Review

2 Guns

2 Guns Review

The following introduction is a little spoilery, but it doesn’t really reveal anything that will compromise enjoyment of the movie in my opinion, but anyway, read at your own risk, or simply skip down to the next one. Denzel Washington stars as undercover DEA agent Robert “Bobby” Trench, while Mark Wahlberg plays undercover Naval Intelligence officer Michael “Stig” Stigman. Together the two of them plot … Continue reading 2 Guns Review

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

Planes, Trains, & Automobiles Review

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

Pain & Gain 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
