Movie Review: ‘Sex Tape’ Starring Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz
Sex Tape is yet another film that is destined to be panned by critics, but reasonably enjoyed by audiences. Most moviegoers will head to their local cinema, enjoy a popcorn, and have a few laughs and wonder why critics hated this movie so much. At the time this review is being written, the film sits […]
Movie Review: ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction” Starring Marky Mark
Michael Bay is a bit of a conundrum. His films are consumed greedily by audiences, and near universally panned by critics. Even the critics who give his films a pass do so begrudgingly. Transformers: Age of Extinction could get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and it will still likely be one of the biggest releases of the […]
Movie Review: ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ Starring Chris Pine, Kiera Knightely, and Kevin Costner
Ahh, January we meet again. Most savvy filmgoers will know that January is a month of award season holdouts and a studio wasteland. Studios tend to release projects they have little to no faith in during the January slaughter, in hopes that they will gain traction with an audience ready to move on from the holiday […]
Movie Review: ‘Delivery Man’ Starring Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt, and Cobie Smulders
Tired of remakes, rehashes, and sequels? Well, you’ll need to look elsewhere if you want original content. Delivery Man is a remake of a 2011 French-Canadian film by the name of Starbuck.

Movie Review: ’12 Years a Slave’ Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong’o, and Michael Fassbender
It’s hard to pin Best Picture frontrunners at this point in the year. The end of the year bonanza of films is sure to throw a wrench into the awards plans of some of the superb films of early 2013, but it’s hard to imagine that 12 Years a Slave won’t be in contention. Director […]
Movie Review: ‘Carrie’ Starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore
Ahh, the dreaded remake of a classic film. Likely the thought of some Hollywood executive who caught the original on television and thought, “You know what? It was so perfect the first time, why don’t we find a way to modernize and possibly ruin it?” Okay, so that probably wasn’t the thought behind the remake […]
Blues Start Season 3-0; Take Down Heated Rivals, Chicago Blackhawks, In Final Seconds
This is the year. If you are a Blues fan, this is what’ve you’ve continually been chanting for the past few decades. The team has had no shortage of skilled teams that should’ve gone all the way, and yet they’ve failed to close in on Lord Stanley’s Cup. So, here it is again. This is […]
Movie Review: ‘Rush’ Starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl
At first it is easy to write Rush off as another Hollywood effort to put a pretty face behind the wheel of a fast car. Ignore that intuition, and watch and be awed by its performances and high octane action. James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) are as close to arch-enemies as […]
Movie Review: ‘Enough Said’ Starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini
Most modern romantic comedies contain just as much fantasy as a J.R.R Tolkien epic. They are loaded with unrealistic character motivations, mindless tropes, and plenty of female wish fulfillment. It’s hard to criticize romantic comedies, and at the same time praise huge blockbuster action films. Neither are grounded in reality, but for some reason its […]
