Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) – So I’ve enjoyed the Ice Age franchise well enough, but I can’t say it grabbed me the same way more of Dreamworks’s stuff has, and nowhere near on the level of Pixar’s stuff. I enjoyed Rio from the same animation studio, Blue Sky. The story of Manny the mammoth (Ray … Continue reading →

21 Jump Street (2012) – I think there’s no better introduction for this movie than some dialogue that Nick Offerman (playing a police captain) has in his only scene in this movie. While talking about the undercover operation that forms the central premise of the movie he describes it as a program from the 80s. … Continue reading →

Free Agents – Cancelled Well NBC’s The Playboy Club was the first casualty of the 2011 season and now Free Agents is the second. (The CW’s H8r was third, proving the existence of merciful and loving God) Now of those three shows, Free Agents is the one I actually watched and thought had serious growth … Continue reading →

So I figured if I’m going to blogging about television, I should probably weigh in on the Emmys. I realized this though as the Emmys were already in progress and I had been drinking (I started to sober up somewhere around the Drama categories). These are my meandering real-time thoughts as I watched the broadcast. … Continue reading →

Dinner for Schmucks (2010) — I laughed. A lot. That’s really all that’s relevant to reviewing this movie but I am far too long-winded to leave it at that. Paul Rudd, the onetime star of indie dramas like The Cider House Rules and The Shape of Things, seems to have settled into a career as … Continue reading →

Up All Night – “Pilot” A good cast can elevate an okay script to something pretty damn entertaining. Maybe that will happen next week. Okay, that’s actually being a little too harsh. There are actually a decent amount of good things in the pilot for Up All Night, enough that I’ll tune in next week … Continue reading →

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) — As one can infer from the title this movie provides remarkable insight into the literature of Marcel Proust. Oh wait, no it doesn’t. Does have some funny-as-hell bodily fluid humor. Also Crispin Glover, which is always a good thing. The one joke I thought was missing: “Hey, Will, it’s … Continue reading →

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (2009) — So Jeph Loeb wrote one of my favorite comics [The Long Halloween] but he is far from one of my favorite comic writers. He tends to go cameo-crazy and the stories have a tendency to suffer as a result. So why the so-far-pretty-decent DC direct-to-disc decided to go with adapted … Continue reading →
