A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) – So for some time, I have been having some issues with Family Guy. It still has a certain way with irreverent and offensive humor, but it’s best jokes tend to be in cutaway gags that have nothing to do with the main narrative. I mean, … Continue reading →

Taken (2008) – There are many important lessons one must learn in life, but perhaps one of the most important is this one: do not fuck with Liam Neeson. He will fuck your shit up. Luc Besson is a man of simple action plots. In addition to directing the classics Léon(aka The Professional) and The … Continue reading →

Batman Begins (2005) – It was a dark time in our history after the debacle that was Batman & Robin. Eight long years passed with no Batman movie at all. There had been consideration of letting Joel Schumacher continue the franchise. There was the screenplay for Batman Triumphant, which would have featured the Scarecrow (Schumacher was … Continue reading →

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) – So… um… right… so when I first saw Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter in the bookstore I had what I assumed was the appropriate reaction: I laughed. It’s a movie about the Great Emancipator hunting and killing imaginary undead bloodsucking fiends. That’s comedy, right? Right? Surely such … Continue reading →

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) – I read an article the other day that said that Chris Brown will be appearing on an upcoming single by Rihanna. I thought “girl, what is wrong with you? That guy beat the shit out of you and you’re working together?” If I may deeply offend my … Continue reading →

The Grey (2012) – And all I was looking for was Liam Neeson punching some wolves… instead The Grey ends up being kind of amazing. The studio is even talking about re-releasing it in the fall so it remains fresh in Oscar voter’s minds (mostly for Neeson’s benefit). Now I think in the following 11 … Continue reading →

Chloe (2009) — So there’s a line between “legitimate erotic thriller” and “exploitative skin flick.” Some movies walk that line while others fall over it. All in all I rather liked this one. Julianne Moore plays Catharine, a woman convinced her husband (Liam Neeson) is cheating on her with one of his many college-age students. … Continue reading →

Kingdom of Heaven (2005) — So this review is in regards to the Director’s Cut, which I understand to be about 45 minutes longer (and I hear a lot better) than the theatrical version. As it is I quite enjoy this movie. I was expecting more of a bloody Braveheart/Gladiator-style action film (appropriate being from … Continue reading →
