Juno Temple is a Dirty Girl: A Movie Review

February 7th, 2012
dirty-girl-review

Juno Temple stars as the title character in the R-rated drama comedy Dirty Girl, about a rebellious, sex-loving teen who goes on a road trip with an awkward, overweight and homosexual friend, both seeking to change their less-than-ideal circumstances. Unfortunately, Dirty Girl lingers too long in that no man’s land between drama and comedy, and instead offers little of either.

50/50: A Funny Movie About Cancer

February 6th, 2012
50-50

Cancer is no laughing matter. Life, however, is. In 50/50, which can best be described as a “cancer comedy”, director Jonathan Levine and writer Will Reiser prove that disease can be just as humorous as it is frightening. 50/50 is one of the best movies of 2011.

Review: ‘Seven Psychopaths’ is Now on Blu-ray

January 29th, 2012
seven-psychopaths

Marty is writing a movie called Seven Psychopaths, but he doesn’t want it to be violent. His best friend Billy informs him that that’s impossible: the movie is about seven psychopaths. Billy is right. Seven Psychopaths is a fun, funny and absurd movie, but it is not for the faint of heart.

January 24th, 2012
i-dont-know-how-she-does-it

Just when you thought you’d had enough of Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker is back – without the girls – playing a very similar role in a very bad movie. I Don’t Know How She Does It begs a more important question: who green-lighted this piece of crap?

Better Late Than Never: Midnight in Paris Movie Review

January 13th, 2012
midnight-in-paris

In the very Woody Allen-esque comedy-drama Midnight in Paris, coincidentally written and directed by Woody Allen, Owen Wilson plays an awkward, curious man visiting, coincidentally, Paris, who would have been played by Woody Allen if the actor-director hadn’t finally figured out that audiences don’t want to see him flirting with young women anymore. Hailed as one of Allen’s finest movies in years, Midnight in Paris is a well done little movie. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn Movie Review

January 5th, 2012
adventures-of-tintin

Leave it to Steven Spielberg to make the massively disappointing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull only to follow it some years later with a motion-capture adaptation of a beloved European comic book that is more Indiana Jones-esque than anything we’ve seen in two decades. The Adventures of Tintin is an entertaining, fun and superbly detailed action-adventure film that people of all ages will enjoy.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy Movie Review

December 27th, 2011
good-old-fashioned-orgy

Sex with friends has been a popular topic this year. Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached both tackled the issue in 2011, using more-or-less interchangeable stories to mixed results. And then there’s the overlooked Jason Sudeikis comedy A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, which debuts on DVD and Blu-ray today and presents a fun yet ultimately forgettable tale of two guys who figure out how to screw all their good-looking friends.

We Bought a Zoo! Oh, and a Movie Review!

December 26th, 2011
we-bought-a-zoo

In We Bought a Zoo, a man grieving the loss of his wife and his children’s mother decides to move out of the city and buy a zoo, because studies show that the best way to get over the death of a loved one is to buy a multi-acre property full of expensive and dangerous exotic animals. Cameron Crowe’s first theatrical movie in six years and his best since Almost Famous, We Bought a Zoo is an uplifting, moving and entertaining drama that hits all the right emotional chords.

The Change-Up Movie Review

December 21st, 2011
change-up

In the R-rated comedy The Change-Up, a married man and his exclusively single best friend switch bodies, giving them both the opportunity to live the lives they’ve both detested and envied. In other words, it’s Freaky Friday only with sex, nudity and masturbation jokes.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Review

December 19th, 2011
sherlock-holmes-jude-law

The world’s greatest detective battles the world’s most devious villain in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, a flashy, fast-paced action-comedy that never reaches its potential but delivers plenty of entertainment nonetheless.

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law return as the bickering friends and partners Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Young Adult is in Theaters. Here’s a Movie Review

December 16th, 2011
young-adult-charlize-theron

Just when you think your husbands are safe, along comes Charlize Theron. Blond, sexy, hot and slutty. Obsessive, mentally deranged, utterly depressed and drunk. The popular girl in high school. A successful author. A crazy bitch that only got crazier a divorce and a few bourbon bottles later. It’s Young Adult, the funny and superbly acted new drama-comedy from Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Juno, and four-time Oscar nominee Jason Reitman, who directed Juno and Up in the Air.
