When it comes to the films of Adam Sandler, critics either have their negative review written before they see the film or just avoid the movie all-together. Personally, I can’t say I’m a big fan, but I’m sort of indifferent. Back in the 90s and early 2000s he made a good handful of movies I […]
Either Sony Pictures just could not get enough films together for panels this year or they are still recouping from the expenditures from Spider-Man’s appearance at last year’s Comic Con, but regardless, this was a pretty stripped down affair for a studio that currently has a couple square blocks devoted to a number of their upcoming features […]
Although I’m not a huge fan of animated films or of Adam Sandler comedies in general, I couldn’t resist the bite of Hotel Transylvania. I loved it! It was what they would refer to as a ghoulishly good time. And now I get to relive it all over again next January. Isn’t life good? Sure […]
Salim, Rachel and Liz get into the Halloween spirit with a review of this new animated comedy starring Adam Sandler. Starring Salim Lemelle, Rachel Appelbaum and Liz Manashil. Directed by Cullen Metcalf-Kelly. Synopsis: Count Dracula runs a hotel for monsters with no humans allowed. But by accident, a human boy stumbles into their haven. As his daughter falls […]
This is going to be a very easy review for me to blow through simply because both the monster horror fan AND the kid in me had an absolute ghoulishly good time with this one. Of course I’m referring to the 3-D computer animated comedy from Sony Pictures Animation, Hotel Transylvania, hitting theaters this Friday, […]
After seeing Paranorman tonight, here’s another animated flick I’m really looking forward to seeing. Columbia/Sony Picture’s Hotel Transylvania stars Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Kevin James, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi, CeeLo Green, David Spade, Molly Shannon and Fran Drescher. Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Adam Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live […]

Razzie® Award Nominated Actor/Actress Adam Sandler is Jack and Jill, a pair of identical twins who gather around for the holidays to spend some family time together. Let me start off by saying that it is not easy for me to dislike a film, but when it comes to Happy Madison produced films, I cannot […]

Kevin James (Grown Ups, Paul Blart: Mall Cop) is loveable zookeeper Griffin Keyes, […]
Let me start out by saying that I am a secret fan of Kevin James. I liked him in King of Queens on TV, in his movie roles such as Hitch, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Grown-ups, The Dilemma and so on. I’m not saying these titles are fantastic, but I didn’t feel like my skin […]
Sometime’s a guy’s best “wingman” is a “wingwoman.” Makes sense, right? Or does it? Well anyway, here’s the dealio. This is hot off the press. Sony Picture Home Entertainment has just announced a June 7th Blu-ray release date for their comedy of the year, Just Go With It. Now I missed this in the theaters, […]
It’s the end of 2010, and with that I have a list of my favorite movies. The following list contains all of the films that I felt defined what I seek out in most films; namely that they have elements of entertainment, intrigue, or master craftsmanship when it comes to the filmmaking. Some may only have a few of these aspects covered, others may have all three bases dominated. Given my lengthy honorable mention section, there were certainly a good number of films that I had to choose from, but this list, I feel, represents the best of what 2010 had to offer theatrically:
Some boys will be boys longer than others. The $208 million worldwide box-office smash, Grown Ups, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider will arrive on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Single Disc Blu-ray on November 9th. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be packing the Blu-ray release full of multiple blooper […]
What are up with these mega all-star cast films nowadays? Seems like we just can’t get enough of them no matter how bad they are. Hollywood studios slap a label on a one-sheet poster with five or more big box-office stars and all they have to do is sit back on their laurels and count […]
Funny People…here’s a film that I unfortunately did not catch in the theater, but I am anxiously awaiting my first viewing of it on the Blu-ray format. As previously reported, Universal Studios is dropping the film on Blu-ray November 24th. The release will see a 1080P video presentation with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio comedic […]
