The value in the sequels (and why slasher flicks are that rare genre where many sequels wind up being more entertaining than the original) is in … Continue reading →

Friends with Benefits (2011) — This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com on 22 July 2011. I really don’t think I’ve quite got the hang of reviewing comedies. As I mention in every review I write for a comedy, the only real barometer for success is whether or not it makes you laugh. However, “I … Continue reading →

Bad Teacher (2011) — The following article originally appeared on 12ftdwende.com on 24 June 2011. The 1994 Jim Carrey film The Mask introduced the world to a hot young bombshell named Cameron Diaz. She was in a few more movies (my favorites being Danny Boyle’s A Life Less Ordinary and her cameo in Fear and … Continue reading →

This article was originally published on 12ft.dwende.com on 12 August 2011. Sometimes you don’t need a guy in a hockey mask or the ghost of a murderer to haunt your dreams. Sometimes things like a mask of human skin and a chainsaw or an endless knowledge of slasher film trivia are just overkill. Sometimes all … Continue reading →

Sorority Row (2009) — Every single bit as stupid as you would expect it to be, and equally hilarious. Seriously. It’s walking that very thin line of “were the writers actually going for funny or is this what passes for good dialogue in their minds?” I’ve never seen the original. I don’t think it would … Continue reading →

The Ugly Truth (2009) — While there was nothing particularly original about this movie I can think of worse ways to spend a couple hours. From here on out I choose to itemize my review. 1. The film’s strength is in its R rating. Not that vulgarity in itself is a way to make a … Continue reading →

Fired Up! (2009) — Ain’t what I’d call great cinema but fuck it, I laughed. Never mind that Eric Christian Olsen has got to be in his 30s by now [he was making high school movies when I was still in high school] and all the “high school girls” were strait from a modeling agency. … Continue reading →
