OK, so let’s just get it out of the way now – We know that Joker: Folie À Deux was a monumental failure this year. The enticing mixture of Phoenix and Gaga and some musical sequences seemed like a heady continuation of the original Joker, a film I still think about to this day as an […]
From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office. The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”). Joker: Folie […]
I sound like a broken record, but every single year this Top 10 movie list keeps getting harder to write. This year was no exception again. In fact it was probably my hardest year in the ten plus I have been doing this for. I actually didn’t plan on writing or producing this year’s list, […]
Todd Phillips’ Joker aims to deliver much-needed weight to the comic book genre. It’s an alternate take on the origin of one of the most famous villains in the DC universe. There are no massive CG set pieces. Instead, you have what adds up to two hours of a glum and not at all fun time […]
I wasn’t able to get to War Dogs this past summer when it released to theaters. And I was interested in checking it out theatrically. There were a lot of factors that appealed to me. Miles Teller and Jonah Hill seemed like a natural and exciting team up. Todd Phillips is also a pretty good […]
Director Todd Phillips (The Hangover, Old School) has been angling for a film like War Dogs the same way Oscar winner Adam McKay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) angled for The Big Short. Both have not been above making goofy bro comedies, but they obviously have other ideas. McKay was met with plenty of acclaim for tackling […]
Well I’m not sure what else to say except IT ALL ENDS HERE. Finally I guess. The Hangover Part III arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, 2-Disc DVD Special Edition and Digital Download on October 8th from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The Blu-ray Combo Pack and 2-disc DVD Special Edition includes exclusive behind-the-scenes content and outrageous interviews […]
The Hangover franchise is one of the best examples of diminishing returns. The first film in the series was a big success and generally well liked. Part II presented the same story in a different location, but had enough goodwill to make it a success anyway. Time has not been kind to Part II, as […]
Let’s see…where did we last leave off? Oh yeah! When we last saw the Wolf Pack, Alan (Zach Galifianakis) had just surprised Dr. Stu (Ed Helms), I mean the dentist, with Mike Tyson at his Thailand wedding (read all about the good times here and here if you need a quick refresher). Now I don’t […]
This is not really a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are just not good. I do not try to seek out these films, with the majority being ones that I did think could have redeemable elements, but that just wasn’t the case here. This list contains what […]
I tend to dislike the reviews where I feel like I have to write about the qualifiers needed to justify where I am coming from on certain films. Project X, for example, is a film that is seemingly designed to be enjoyed by the teenage boy crowd, despite being an incredibly hard-R rated film full […]
I had many mixed feelings going into Project X this past Tuesday evening. Sure, I thought. It looks like a wild and raunchy, good ole time, but where will the story ultimately go? Being not a person to partake in such wild festivities myself in real life, I knew I would only be able to […]
Unbeknown to anyone else beside myself, at the beginning of the year I decided there were a total of three movies I was really looking forward to in 2011. The first, not a critic’s choice by any means, is the Independence Day sequel (joking), Battle: Los Angeles. Unlike the majority of critics, I was able to […]
Unbeknown to anyone else besides myself, at the beginning of the year I decided there were a total of three movies I was really looking forward to in 2011. The first, not a critics choice by any means, has already came and went. Of course, I’m talking about the Independence Day sequel (joking), Battle: Los […]
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 […]
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 […]

The Hangover was one of those movies that came out at the P-E-R-F-E-C-T time in my life. We all kind of have these back-stories with how we dealt with times of stress and the real life antidotes that helped us persevere through the seemingly impossible feats. For me, that was the summer of 2009. It […]
