Day after day day they work menial jobs to support themselves. Continue reading ‘Mike Birbiglia’s DON’T THINK TWICE — Opening July 22nd!’

‘The Nice Guys’ Make A Killer Pair Of Silly Gumshoes (Movie Review)

the nice guys thumbAs a writer, Shane Black made a name for himself by scripting many successful mismatched buddy movies. Over time and after stepping into the director’s chair, Black has more evidently become a master of going against what’s expected to the tune of comedic and often times violent irony. The Nice Guys is a perfect embodiment of what we have come to expect from him and it only helps that this comedic caper is plenty clever and entertaining in weaving its silly detective tale.

Neighbors 2 Plays It Safe and Succeeds (Movie Review)

Neighbors 2I have a weird kind of attachment to the first Neighbors outing.  It’s not because I liked it a lot, but it’s because it’s the last time my parents came down to visit me in Austin, TX.  You see, besides some friends, my parents are the only ones who have ever came down to visit me family-wise since I’ve been down here for over three years now and apparently not going anywhere soon.  It doesn’t make sense either given the fact that my entire family is located up in frigid Cleveland, OH.  Sure there are many things up there that are severely lacking in Austin, TX like professional sports, casinos and real places to eat breakfast, but give me a freaking break.  The weather up there absolutely sucks during the winter.  However, I digress as I feel myself veering way off of topic here.  I need to transition back to Neighbors now after I hit the return key to start the next paragraph.

‘Neighbors 2’ Joins The Ranks Of Great Comedy Sequels (Movie Review)

Neighbors-2-soroity-risingGreat comedy sequels or even good comedy sequels are rare to come by. So many risks are taken when it comes to both recapturing a certain magic and taking a premise to a new level. 2014’s Neighbors is not exactly a film that lends itself to a sequel, but it was a hit and the powers that be asked for it. Fortunately, director Nicholas Stoller, the writers and star/producer Seth Rogen have put together Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, a comedy sequel that outdoes the original. It’s leaner, funnier and incredibly clever in tackling relevant social issues.

5 Things I want to see in the Predator sequel

5 Things I want to see in the Predator sequelAs I’m sure many of you are aware, Shane Black, the mastermind behind the very first Predator film is currently in the writing stages of bringing us a sequel titled, “The Predator”.  Based on what he’s said so far, this just might be the movie that all of us die-hard fans have been waiting for!  The last Predator film that truly encapsulated everything that we’ve grown to love about the character, was Predator 2.  Since then, we’ve gotten some predictable and ham-fisted attempts at upping the stakes by pitting him against the Xenomorph in Alien vs Predator, or when they made a watered down version of the first film with Predators.
