As people are building their Best/Worst of 2013 lists, I can’t help think of After Earth, quite possibly one of the bigger bombs of the year. I’ve always been a fan of Will Smith, grew up watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, as well as his many blockbuster contributions. His son though, Jaden, seems to …
I don’t know why I have to sell anyone on this. That might be a bad way to start a review, but I feel compelled to say it because of certain iso-metric priests/assholes that have been proclaiming that the comedic cesspool known as ‘Grown-Ups 2′ has been tracking higher than this monster/robot mash-up and that’s …
Ray Harryhausen’s name was one you would mention only to your friends who were really into movies. Or if you had just met someone and you wanted to test their credits-throw in a Harryhausen reference. If they nodded and agreed, you knew you were in good company.
CORIOLANUS I’m a big fan of Ralph Fiennes, and not just because we share the same birthday and were both born in a town called Ipswich (its true, look it up) but because he has always been an interesting actor. He struck gold in the early to mid 90s with Schindler’s List and The English Patient, among many other …
A DANGEROUS METHOD David Cronenberg is the best director working that has never been nominated for a Best Director Oscar. He has always made movies that totally fuck Hollywood in the ass. Videodrome, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Scanners, The Fly…on and on and on are all movies that are highly regarded, yet fly under the radar. It’s a shame. …

I expect The Descendants to be no different. George Clooney, these days, can seem to do no wrong. The man has been in the awards spotlight …
Editor’s Note: Due to travel, this article is a bit late, but still, wouldn’t want you to miss it! J. EDGAR Well, this movie has already come out and is receiving lukewarm reviews, but why?? I can’t imagine it being a “bad” movie per say…but maybe just not as top notch as what is expected from an Eastwood/DiCaprio …
Editors Note: The release of this article was delayed due to technical problems on my part! Thanks for reading! A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR CHRISTMAS Maybe I’m just old, but I do not “get” these movies. I’ve only seen the first one, and yeah, it had some amusing parts, but all in all I thought it was …
ANONYMOUS Nothing says hardcore action movie like William Shakespeare right?? Well, how about an action movie about people trying to say that Shakespeare didn’t write his plays? Yeah…that’s about as exciting as wiping your ass. Why would I want to see a Roland Emmerich (yes, Independence Day and The Patriot Roland Emmerich) try to make a movie about some William …
