The apocalypse has been quite a popular topic for film in recent years. It has also been handled in various forms; from disaster drama (2012, Knowing), to the various zombie films (the upcoming World War Z), to romantic dramas (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, a film I will continue to go [...]

This is the End is an apocalyptic comedy film where James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson all portray fictional characters of themselves as they are forced to face the true meaning of friendship and redemption as the world ends around them. Does that sound stupid to you or [...]

Recently, we have seen films like 2012, Melancholia, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and even Children of Men, to an extent, depict what it would be like to see the world come to an end. Just to round things out, I guess, we now have the version of that story in [...]

Earlier this month I released my worst films of 2012. That was probably one of the easiest lists I ever put together. The good ones from the year the Mayan calendar ended were a little more difficult to assemble. It was another year of superheroes at the box office which brought in super dividends for [...]

I am all for a good comedy and fun & games, but I do also appreciate when the pieces of a film, no matter how initially scatterbrained, eventually work out within the realm of logic that said film has established. The Watch is very funny in various moments, because it features funny people getting to [...]

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade take male bonding to hilarious new heights in this outrageous, no-holds-barred comedy that gets funnier every time you watch! There’s trouble brewing in peaceful Glenview, Ohio. That’s why four civic-minded citizens, armed with flashlights, walkie-talkies and spiffy new jackets, have teamed up to safeguard their community. [...]

Can you believe it? I have never seen the 80’s television show 21 Jump Street in my 37+ years of living on this land and water filled planet. I’m a virgin! That’s horrible! I should be dragged down the streets by my ugly hair or publicly pelted and stoned in the middle of town square [...]

This one, much like Cabin in the Woods, really caught me by surprise. While it’s no Cabin, 21 Jump Street did make for a pretty fun time with the hilarious tag team of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Simply put, both stars are too old for this “shift” as they go undercover on Blu-ray and [...]

So last year, director David Gordon Green released two films. One was the R-rated fantasy/comedy Your Highness, which was mostly hated by everyone except myself and a few others. The other was The Sitter, a confusingly unoriginal and bland film, which was mostly hated by everyone including myself. David Gordon Green came from directing fantastic [...]

If you are looking for a movie with non stop laughs, crude humor, and down right goofiness, 21 Jump Street is guaranteed to make you laugh. This Cinematic version of the 80’s television series with the same name is the funniest movie I have seen this year, Tatum shows us his comedic side, while Hill [...]

So anyone that was hoping for the dark and gritty reboot of the 80s undercover cop drama 21 Jump Street in the same way that Michael Mann rebooted Miami Vice, they will be disappointed with what has actually been made. Instead, this is a delightfully funny and wild take on that material, which is like [...]

Get ready because this March Jonah Hill (eat your heart out Gregg Senko) takes you where NO babysitting movie has ever gone before in the outrageously raunchy and “Totally Irresponsible” edition. The Sitter arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download on March 20th. I can’t even imagine how much more raunchier this will be? I [...]

I remember being all excited about Moneyball (review here), when it was coming out back in September. The film based on a true story, staring Brad Pitt as Oakland A’s manager Billy Beane, had a lot of good ingredients to make for a solid feature. I was happy to find that the movie was pretty [...]

In general, I am not big of watching professional sports. However, if I had to name a favorite, it would be baseball. Having said that, I only knew so much about the subject matter being addressed in Moneyball, a well written sports drama, based on true events, about a man attempting to shake up an [...]

Megamind is the second animated feature this year (next to Despicable Me) to focus on the villain’s side of things. It comes from Dreamworks, whose animated features tend to range from satisfying, sweet, clever types to forgettable, pop culture-heavy, jokey types. This film falls somewhere in the middle, but on the positive side. It features [...]

I can honestly say that I have never heard of this film. Have you? The movie critics are saying that CYRUS is both smart and funny, but I will let you be the judge of that when Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment brings the Jonah Hill/John C. Reilly comedy to the Blu-ray format on December [...]

With the Blackhawks throwing away game 3 in the Stanley Cup Finals, and also game 4 as I write this, I needed a definite pick-me-up this week. MacGruber was recommended to me by a co-worker a few days ago, but honestly, I cannot bring myself to anything more than a rental for that film. Was [...]

Let the following statements exist purely to serve as my disclaimer. I went into the press screening of How to Train Your Dragon this past Saturday morning with zero expectations. I had never heard of the children’s book before and I knew nothing about the plot other than what my fellow reviewer, Gregg Senko, told [...]
