Edge of Tomorrow (2014) – I’m way behind on my reviews. I saw this movie over a month ago and am just getting around to writing this. It’s been interesting, though, that this movie has become something of a topic in film nerd circles. Specifically the fact that it’s an original science fiction movie (depending … Continue reading →

Rock of Ages (2012) – The vast majority of my reviews tend to be positive, in case you hadn’t noticed. Or rather they range from lukewarm appreciation to outright enthusiastic. Some bad ones slip in but overall they’re favorable. I do indeed like most movies I see. That’s usually because if a movie looks like … Continue reading →

The Help (2011) – Film trailers are problematic. Sometimes they seriously undersell a movie. I thought Fight Club looked asinine but it was amazing. Sometimes the trailers are put together better than the movie itself. Look up the trailer for the bizarre clusterfuck Southland Tales and tell me it doesn’t look awesome? Sometimes the trailer tries … Continue reading →

Man on a Ledge (2012) – There’s something be said for a good middle-of-the-road movie. A movie that in all honesty you are probably not going to remember in a few months, but is nonetheless solidly entertaining. A simple premise with some good plot twists and turns and a cast that is game but doesn’t … Continue reading →

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011) – Let’s get something out of the way: holy shit! Tom Cruise is insane. I mean we already knew he was “I’m going jump up and down on a couch” and “I’m in a cult” insane, but this… If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I refer you to … Continue reading →

War of the Worlds (2005) — I think I might be alone in how much i like this movie. Most people don’t like it or only kind of like it. I really like this movie. Part of that is Tom Cruise. He gets a lot of shit for being totally bugfuck insane but he’s not … Continue reading →

Magnolia (1999) — I really don’t know what all to say about Magnolia without going through every member of the cast and crew and just gushing with praise. It’s one of those movies there’s a lot of disagreement on and I happen to come down fervently on the “pro” side. This film is just over … Continue reading →
