‘Horrible Bosses’, Great Cast, Funny Movie

It has been a solid year so far for original, R-rated comedies.  While not every film has been a homerun, I do enjoy the fact that we are being treated to a lot of good, raunchy fun, as opposed to watered-down versions of films followed by the inevitable “unrated” edition 3-4 months later.  Horrible Bosses […]

And You Thought You Had a “Horrible Boss”

We have all had “horrible bosses” at one point or another during our career, haven’t we?   Well I guess I should probably be addressing the 30-something year old crowd, but I truly think this topic transcends the ages, if you ask me.  And why wouldn’t you?   I’m kind of the authority around here, am I […]

Due Date (Blu-ray Review)

I suppose it can be construed that Director Todd Phillips took on this project to give himself some much needed distance from his previous surprise hit (The Hangover) before tackling his next project, The Hangover 2 (currently in production).  I could completely understand if this was true and in all honesty, I would not blame […]

You Can Pass Due Date & Make It Up Later

So I guess I was expecting better here. I did not necessarily expect to see a comedy classic in the making, but I did think that the talent involved in this film would have provided me with a consistently entertaining movie. Instead, what I observed was a film that was only occasionally very funny. I […]

Don’t Miss The ‘Due Date’

Valentine’s Day (Blu-ray Review)

What can be more indicative of a romantic comedy than the title of Valentine’s Day?  Sure it’s sappy, and sure it’s formulaic as hell, but I just can’t shake the minority feeling that when I say compared to the handful of lackluster films I have seen theatrically these first five months of 2010, Valentine’s Day […]

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in May on Blu-ray!

I got word yesterday that the first decent theatrical movie I saw this year (full review here) is making its debut on the Blu-ray format in May.  Why did I like it?  I’m not sure.  I’m sure it had a little something to do with Jessica Alba, but at the same time it was the […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

What’s more indicative of a romantic comedy than the title Valentine’s Day?  Sure it’s sappy, and sure it’s formulaic as hell, but I just can’t shake the minority feeling that when I say compared to the handful of lackluster films I have seen theatrically these first two months of 2010, Valentine’s Day was one of […]

Gregg’s Best & Worst Cinema Films of 2009

2009 was an interesting year for films.  By mid-summer, I was wondering if I was going to be able to fill out this list.  Hasbro made a splash with two of its most successful lines appearing in theaters.  Sandra Bullock had two films surface this year.  Vampires seemed to be at the turn of every […]

Blu-ray Judges the Law Abiding Citizen

Now here is a movie I know little about except for the fact that I anxiously want to see it.  Every time I had an opportunity to see this film during its theatrical run my chances were nixed.  I even had press screening passes to this one and I was unable to use them.  However, it seems […]

Jamie Foxx & Gerard Butler; Law Abiding Citizens

What a twisted film.  I loved it.  There is no sense in hiding my feelings for Law Abiding Citizen starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.  I really can’t remember that last time I’d been to the theater two days in a row, but after the draining monotony of Amelia yesterday, I needed some cinematic Listerine […]

Donald Judges The Law Abiding Citizen

Gerald Butler and Jamie Foxx go head to head in a cat and mouse tale of domestic terrorism in Law Abiding Citizen.   The initial trailer that I saw for this movie had me rooting for Clyde Shelton (Gerald Butler’s character).  He’s the guy that manages to survive a home invasion that brutally ends the lives […]
