Aaron’s Top 10 Films of 2011 & Other Yearly Wrap-Up Stuff

To me, 2011 was a pretty unusual year.  I say that because I found there to be an unusual amount of great films that came out in both the realm of mainstream feature films and the realm of art house and independent features.  This year, like any year, had its share of duds as well, [...]

‘The Muppets’ Slapped A Smile On My Face And Made It Stay There

It is not often that I try to put so many hopes into one specific film, but I was dead set on wanting to love The Muppets.  Besides being pleased with who was involved in the production and the cast, I just get a great joy out of these characters every time I see them.  [...]

Bad Teacher (Blu-ray Review)

Amidst the many R-rated comedies of 2011, Bad Teacher managed to become a pretty decent sized hit.  It crossed over the $100 mil mark and seemed to prove that Cameron Diaz can draw in a crowd.  I still wish it was a better movie though.  Instead of playing out as a clever satire about a [...]

The Syllabus States That ‘Bad Teacher’ Is Due This October

Bad Teacher turned out to be a decent-sized hit during this summer, which featured many R-rated comedies.  I thought it was fun enough (review HERE), but now people will have their chance to own it for themselves, as Bad Teacher comes to Blu-ray on October 18th.  As you may recall, the film stars Cameron Diaz [...]

‘Bad Teacher’ Makes The Grade

Bad Teacher is an example of bringing a lot of talented and funny people together to make a movie that should obviously deliver, yet it doesn’t quite knock it out of the park.  Still, while not a grand slam by any means, the film does manage to make it to home plate (and that’s the [...]

Gulliver’s Travels Journeys to Blu-ray April 19!

Gulliver’s Travels has a great cast with Jack Black, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, and Amanda Peet who star in this classic tale of a regular guy who travel to the land called Lilliput where he is a giant among them.  This version seems to be very family friendly and I’ve read that they created a [...]

Brian’s Top 10 Films of 2009

I waited patiently until after my most recent screening of Sherlock Holmes to compile this list that I have been looking forward to working on all year long.  As Gregg Senko kind of mentioned yesterday, it was not until the second half of the year that I was really able to round up a majority [...]
