Well, that happened. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is a less-than-winning drama-comedy starring Charlie Sheen as a successful graphic designer whose life crumbles apart when the love of his life (Katheryn Winnick) leaves him. Thanks to a few too many Brandy Alexanders and an active imagination, Charles Swan descends into a series of "fantasy-inspired reflections on his colorful past."

How do I start this review? How do I write the rest of it? The subject is Silver Linings Playbook, but not the movie. This review is about the DVD, and DVD reviews can only go so far. I’ve never been interested in going on and on about how good the video quality or audio clarity is, because after all, 99% of people don’t give a damn, especially when the movie is a drama-comedy.

Michael Bay returns to his roots, sort of, with Pain & Gain, a low budget crime comedy-thriller starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie and Tony Shalhoub. Please note that "low budget" for Michael Bay means $25 million.

Movies about losers tend to fall into one of two categories. Either the characters are "lovable losers" who are able to elicit the viewer’s sympathy and desire to see the characters grow and change for the better; or the characters are so frustrating to watch that you want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them, yelling for them to snap out of it. Unfortunately, Arthur Newman falls into that latter category.

Snatch without the edge, Angel’s Share is a sort-of-heartwarming British crime drama-comedy that is well done but largely unremarkable. Now playing in limited American theaters, Angel’s Share evaporates from memory like so much whiskey.

Parker Posey plays a spirited executive and Eric Mabius her right hand man in Price Check, an engaging but emotionally stunted drama that unfortunately never really goes anywhere. Even as I begin this review I have no idea where it will take me, for the movie itself is, ultimately, aimless.

The last time Billy Crystal starred in a major live-action movie, the United States had yet to invade Iraq. The Internet bubble had just burst. And the movie in question was the unfortunate sequel Analyze That. Times have changed since then. Comedy has changed. But Billy Crystal hasn’t changed, and it shows in his new film Parental Guidance, now on DVD and Blu-ray.

Ah, the classic story of an old man and his friend robot. A tried and true tale that has been told through the centuries. And even yet, Robot & Frank is a surprisingly endearing drama-comedy about two unlikely friends, starring Frank Langella and the voice of Peter Sarsgaard.

The Walt Disney Company presents a new family friendly film starring two of its very own princesses – Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens – all but assuring a new franchise that will eventually be spun into an ABC Family sitcom. It’s Spring Breakers, an innocent film about innocent Amish girls who find themselves stranded in Florida during Spring Break.

Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige has gotten a modern makeover. Hugh Jackman has been replaced by Steve Carell, and Christian Bale by Jim Carrey. Turn-of-the-century England has been transformed into 21st century Las Vegas, and the drama has been replaced with slapstick comedy. It’s The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and while the movie isn’t incredible, it manages to pull a few laughs out of the hat.

Kick-Ass and Hit Girl are back! Universal Pictures has released several new stills, a movie poster and, most importantly, a red band movie trailer featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and none other than Jim Carrey as absurd crime fighters doing very absurd things.

Kevin James as a high school biology teacher turned MMA fighter? Puh-lease. An obnoxiously stupid title? Please, no. And yet Here Comes the Boom brings a little more boom than I was expecting.

Drinking games. Projectile vomiting. Teddy bears glued to penises. That pretty much sums up my college experience, which has been adapted to the big screen in the form of 21 & Over, by the writers of The Hangover. A few alterations have been made: most notably, I am now a five-foot-tall Asian student.

We recently sat down with Miles Teller and Justin Chon, stars of the new movie 21 & Over (in theaters March 1, 2013) and asked them such serious questions as what is it like to walk buck-ass naked save for a tube sock on the University of Washington campus with real students standing around, kissing other men and acting drunk (or just being drunk).

We had a chance to sit down with Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writers of a little indie film known as The Hangover and the writers and directors of the new movie 21 & Over (in theaters March 1, 2013), which can best be described as a college-aged version of… The Hangover.
