Weeds Episode Review – “Thwack”
If it seems like it’s been a year waiting for the new season of Weeds, that’s because it has. We last left the Botwin family after Shane killed Pilar, promptly followed to a cut to black. Season 6 immediately picks up here in a great set-up episode for coming events.
Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
I had heard of Scott Pilgrim before, but had never taken the time to read the books (so kindly reviewed by Eddy). After seeing an advance screening of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World last night thanks to our friends Chris and Kelly, and new friends Loren and Lauren, I plan on rectifying that mistake shortly. I had mixed expectations for this movie going in; On the positive side you have Edgar Wright...[Read More]
Futurama Episode Review – “The Late Phillip J. Fry”
Futurama is officially back. It’s been on the schedule for the past seven weeks, but these past two episodes have returned the series to its wonderful roots.
Futurama Episode Review – “Lethal Inspection”
The new season of Futurama has dealt with a lot of speed bumps, whether it was rusty character relationships, outdated culture references, or a feeling that the show jumped the shark. Personally, I was beginning to wonder if I only liked these new episodes just because it was new Futurama. Then “Lethal Inspection” aired and all my troubles were put to rest.
Dinner for Schmucks Advance Review
Yesterday morning when I woke up I noticed an email from gofobo inviting me to an advance screening of the upcoming comedy Dinner for Schmucks. Both Lindsey and I have been looking forward to this movie from the exceptionally funny trailers, so it was a pleasant surprise, especially considering that most of the invitations I receive from gofobo are for movies I have absolutely no interest in.
‘Inception’ Turns World Upside Down
Director Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Knight, Memento, The Prestige) anticipated, mysteriously marketed ‘Inception‘ hit theaters this weekend and took audiences on a surprisingly addictive journey through the dream state. It has quickly become one of the most intriguing films of all time, raking in around $60.4 million this weekend alone, the biggest opening of actor Leonardo Di...[Read More]
How to Train Your Dragon
When I first heard the title to the recent DreamWorks movie How to Train Your Dragon, I thought, “Oh, great! I could always use a little more dexterity and performance out of my ‘dragon’!” Unfortunately, as trailers started hitting the Internet, I discovered that this was a movie of quite a different sort. I still wanted to give it a chance, but I didn’t get around...[Read More]
‘Grown Ups’ Review
Everybody should go out and see Grown Ups while it’s still in theaters, but be careful of who you sit next to. With that out of the way, let’s get into just how hilarious Grown Ups really is. The plot for the movie is that the five main stars (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider) are all childhood friends who played on the school basketball team together. ...[Read More]
Beyond Infinity: Toy Story 3
Today I finally have no doubt in my mind that Pixar sold their souls to the devil in exchange for exceptional talent. The studio has constantly put out great movie after great movie with even their weakest film (Cars) being above many of the animated films out there. Now they venture back into the toy box to the one that started it all. Toy Story now enters a truly rare territory. A second sequel ...[Read More]
‘Clash of the Titans’ Review
What do you get when you combine men in miniskirts with too much bronzer, then add a hint of Kraken and a few pissed off gods?
‘Splice’ Review
As the night dragged on I began to realize… This is not going to get any better.
Shrek Forever After Review
Earlier today, Chris and I went with my daughter to see the recent, and final, installment to the popular DreamWorks Shrek franchise, Shrek Forever After. The original Shrek movie was fantastic, and the sequel wasn’t too bad, but the third Shrek movie was just too much, and it made me wonder how enjoyable Shrek Forever After would be. I was pleasantly surprised. It all starts out with a male...[Read More]
