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.

Uh-oh, it’s a love triangle! Or is it a love square? Either way, Stephenie Meyer’s post-Twilight novel is now a major motion picture, and it is pretty much exactly what you’d expect it to be. The Host presents an intriguing premise and better overall production values than Meyer’s much maligned blockbuster franchise, but suffers from the same aimless and anticlimactic storytelling – and pathetically dopey romances.

You know you’re in trouble when the best line of dialogue in an entire movie is a Jay Z quote. Then again, I don’t know if I was in trouble. The new G.I. Joe: Retaliation is leaps and bounds better than its predecessor, with fast-paced action sequences and the charisma of The Rock pulsing through every scene, but it’s also absurd, absurdly absurd and fucking ridiculously absurd. Whether that’s good or bad… I just don’t know.

The Hunger Games made our list of top ten most disappointing movies of 2012, but its sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire still managed to make our list of 13 movies to see in 2013 (well, technically, it was in the “13 more” addendum).

Sylvestor Stallone is gone, but Judge Dredd is back in Dredd, a movie no one asked for but got anyway. In this case, however, Dredd is a fun surprise, a movie that won’t win any awards but revels in its simplicity and benefits from slick direction and a violent script.

There are always bad movies, but you can often see them coming. There is something much worse, something much more sacrilegious, in the movie industry: the disappointing movie. Disappointing movies may not be terrible – in fact, they may not even be bad movies – but they failed to meet lofty expectations. To achieve their full potential. To reward the moviegoers who paid good money to see a good movie. To meet the anticipation set forth by marketing, buzz and high hopes. To keep children from crying.

The world is slowly going to hell. It’s not overpopulation. Or war. Nuclear disaster? Nope. Not even famine. The world is going to hell because people are losing their senses. Smell. Taste. Hearing. Sight. People are losing their connection with the world, and there is nothing they can do to stop it. That’s the premise of Perfect Sense, a largely overlooked romantic drama starring Ewan McGregor and Eva Green.

Paramount Pictures has released the cool new movie poster for Star Trek Into Darkness, the sequel to the hit sci-fi action movie that debuts in 2013. I acknowledge that I am not the first to point this out, but it looks like the villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) has laid waste to Gotham city, not unlike what is seen in several of the Dark Knight Rises movie posters. With an obscure Star Trek logo sketched from a ravaged city, the posters look eerily similar in theme.

Men in Black 3 is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and digital!
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Enter now to win a Men in Black prize pack containing a water gun, a Frank the Pug bobble head and the movie on Blu-ray.
It’s the alternate ending to Armageddon we never asked for. The space shuttle destroyed, a massive asteroid hurtling toward earth, humanity has days before it is wiped from the planet, and the planet destroyed. Within this context is set Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, a romantic quasi-comedy with lots of promise and not much else.

A gang of idiots combines forces to hunt down a murderer only to learn that the murderer is an alien plotting an invasion of their small town in The Watch, a film that is less notable for any of its own merits and more for being affected by the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin shooting case.

Tom Hanks has appeared in over 70 movies. In the sweeping epic Cloud Atlas, he nearly doubles his career character count. Hanks is just one of many actors who dons different personas and elaborate makeup to play a series of characters in what can only be described as one of the most ambitious and riskiest films in years.

I’m a sucker for depressing movie trailers, especially when you know the good guys are eventually going to prevail in the end. In the upcoming Iron Man 3, Tony Stark looks like he’s in for a sh*t show. A mysterious terrorist named The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) wages war on Stark and his alter ego Iron Man by obliterating his mansion and apparently stealing his suits, and that’s just the beginning.

“Questions will be answered” is the tagline for the Blu-ray release of Prometheus, featuring never-before-seen extras including an alternate beginning and ending. That’s a lofty promise, considering one of the biggest complaints about Ridley Scott’s anticipated return to the sci-fi genre – and the Alien franchise – was that the movie raised many more questions than it answered.
