Horrible Bosses (Blu-ray Review)

We have all had our share of “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 like myself, but I truly think this topic transcends the ages, if you ask me.  Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m […]

Extract (Blu-ray Review)

I know I’m in the minority, but this movie is very funny to me. Everything about Mike Judge’s Extract is delightful. From the story, to the script, to the acting; everything about this movie is a clear example of the way that Judge can put his audiences in a world of pure escapism containing outrageous humor. […]

Reynolds And Bateman ‘Change-Up’ During One Big Freaky Friday

Studio Head: Man, remember back in the 80s when all of those body-switching comedy movies were really popular?  We made tons of money then.  Do we have any ideas like that out there now?  Studio Plot Pitcher: Well sir, there are some big, big comedies recently, which have all benefited from having an R-rating, as […]

‘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 […]

I Had A Fun, Close Encounter With ‘Paul’

It seems like 2011 is going to be littered with aliens and otherworldly beings.  Paul falls into that category and I feel I must clarify what it is, as the TV spots I have seen for it do really poor justice to what is quite a funny movie.  Paul is an R-rated, road trip, buddy […]

Paul is Rude, Crude and Downright Lovable!

Continuing the recent streak of films I covered panels for at last year’s Comic-Con comes a science fiction comedy like none other from the brains behind Hot Fuzz.  Of course I’m talking about the aptly named film Paul.  And E.T. thought he was special for having a feature named after himself.  LOL.   What I […]

The Switch (Blu-ray Review)

I’d like to believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Lochness Monster.  What I have trouble believing, is that Jennifer Aniston can’t find a man in New York City who wants to have a baby with her.  That is the premise for The Switch, and it requires you to stretch your imagination and suspend […]

Comic-Con 2010: Paul

I first became aware of the upcoming Simon Pegg comedy adventure, Paul, through my involvement over at leiasmetalbikini.com.  The webmaster over there filled me in on the filming late last year, as it pertains to all things Comic-Con and of course, girls dressed in scantily clad Princess Leia metal bikinis. The film has a ridiculous […]
