General Aladeen, ruthless dictator of Wadiya, travels to NY to speak at the UN. But after he escapes a kidnapping attempt, no one in the Big Apple believes who he really is. So he risks his life to ensure that democracy never comes to the country he so lovingly oppresses. This comedy stars Sacha Baron […]
I honestly have never heard of this film, but LOL…I would be all over a Carnage Blu-ray (as it relates to the Spider-Man universe). Okay. The time to be serious has officially begun…NOW! Alright, so digging into my inbox today I came across this latest press release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. It says the […]
Before learning anything specific about Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin, I was under the unfortunate impression that Kevin was another “evil kid” movie. One based on a critically-acclaimed novel, sure, but still: yet another “evil kid” movie. Oh, boy. How exciting. And so, I expected the typical “evil kid” plot: upper-middle-class parents […]
In times past, when it comes to certain horror movies or thrillers, I have noted that the “creepy kid” subgenre is one that usually gets to me pretty easily. We Need to Talk About Kevin is not quite a horror film or thriller, but more a psychological drama surrounding the mental state of a mother […]
Saturday at Disney’s D23 Expo was a big day, mainly due to the massive film presentation in the Anaheim Convention Center Arena. While Notable films including The Avengers, John Carter, and Pixar’s Brave made their mark, a few other films were on hand as well, including an upcoming Disney animated feature called Wreck-It Ralph. I […]
I was happy to be able to revisit Cedar Rapids. I thought it was a very charming comedy that was unfortunately only able to be seen in limited release, during its theatrical run. Fortunately, the Blu-ray for this film is now available and many can now buy or rent this sweet-natured, raunchy comedy. It helps […]
I missed this one in the theater, but the same mistake won’t happen when it arrives on Blu-ray this June. Two of our reviewers really liked this one (see here and here) so I’m not going to let this one slip off my radar. Anyway, of course I am talking about the salesman comedy of […]
Is Ed Helms the nerdiest guy in Hollywood right now? I mean he’s the nerd-in-residence on The Office, he played the nerdy dentist in the hit comedy The Hangover, and now we get Tim Lippe, insurance salesman and nerd extraordinaire in Cedar Rapids. Tim Lippe is an innocent, wide-eyed, naïve, sappy guy, who LOVES […]
Sometimes you can tell a lot from how good a comedy can be simply by the names of your main characters. Standard, ho-hum comedies may go for simplicity with names like John or Jane without mention of a last name. Other comedies like to have fun with all of the details, like this film for […]
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 […]
Most of my movie-loving friends have already seen Boogie Nights while I had not. Considering the film had as much popularity as it did and it’s well over a decade old now, it was high time I sat down for a watch of this flick. I heard fragments of the content here and there so […]
Saturday, October 17th, 2009…It was a night I will never forget. The filming of Spike TV’s fourth annual Scream 2009 awards will go down as one of the most memorable nights of my life. Not only did fate play a crucial role as an opportunity to provide red carpet coverage presented itself during my already […]
French playwright Jean Giraudoux once said, “Only the mediocre are always at their best.” And so is the case of Shane Acker’s new film, “9.” I’m not going to give much away so don’t worry about spoilers. However, once you’ve hit the 30-minute mark in the film, you pretty much get the idea of what […]
I have to admit that my initial interest in 9 was based solely upon the first preview that was touted to me in the theater not so long ago. The driving music, in the trailer, was the force that lit the wick on my inspirational candle, within my brain, to think that maybe this could […]
