Men in Black 3 (2012) – Sequels are not necessarily a case of diminishing returns. While there is definitely plenty of hollow retreads like The Hangover Part II, there also flicks like The Godfather Part II, Aliens, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and [technically] The Silence of the Lambs. Loosely based on a comic by Lowell … Continue reading →

Saturday Night Live – “Anna Faris/Drake” So after a couple weeks of hosts taking front-and-center in the sketches (you know, hosting) this week Anna Faris pretty much faded into the background. I’m not really sure why. She’s an able comic performer even in movies that aren’t that good (i.e. The House Bunny, Scary Movie 3 … Continue reading →

Saturday Night Live – “Ben Stiller/Foster the People” It’s always nifty when past Saturday Night Live cast members come back to host. They know the score.

Saturday Night Live – “Melissa McCarthy/Lady Antebellum” There are people who insist that Saturday Night Live has not been funny in years. I disagree. I think what happens is they stop watching and every time one of their friends convinces them “no, really, it’s good now” they tune in and catch an episode like this … Continue reading →

Saturday Night Live – “Alec Baldwin/Radiohead” Oh Saturday Night Live… SNL is a show I will always defend. People say it’s not as funny as it used to be… and that’s true but it’s still funny enough often enough. I know that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement but I think they often have great … Continue reading →

Paul (2011) — So the first thing to get out of the way is you need to manage your expectations. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were the stars (and in Pegg’s case co-writer) of two of the very best movies of the 2000s: Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz. Expecting Paul to be on … Continue reading →

Megamind (2010) — Premise in a nutshell: evil supervillain actually defeats the superhero who has been thwarting him all these years and find that he now has no idea what to do with his life. Dreamworks Animation has rarely been on the same film-making level as Pixar (mostly due to over-relying on popular culture references… … Continue reading →
