Movie Review: DRIVE ANGRY 3D Starring Nicholas Cage, Amber Heard
I have to be honest. I expected this movie to be awful. Nothing about what I had seen impressed me. The shot of a guy throwing an ax at Cage, and it cutting his hair looked ridiculous. Nicholas Cage and his acting looked ridiculous (which I have come to expect). The only thing I could […]
Movie Review: HALL PASS Starring Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate
I was curious about HALL PASS. I’m not sure how else to put it. The trailer looked okay. The premise definitely showed promise. But I am not a huge Owen Wilson supporter, and the Farrelly brothers haven’t done anything good since 1998 with THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. I left the film having mixed feelings on […]
Review: “Unknown” Starring Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones
In “Unknown,” Liam Neeson stars in a role that would have you believe you’re watching the next “Taken.” Unfortunately, that is not the case in this story of amnesia and mistaken identity. Luckily an intriguing story keeps things moving along, and there is just enough action to keep things interesting. Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) […]
Steve Kelley Reviews “Cedar Rapids,” Writes Title in Third Person
No matter where we go, we always tend to remember where we come from. This is perhaps the point of Cedar Rapids that director Miguel Artesta tries to drive home. Well, it’s either that or you can learn what you need to know from the prostitute that sets up shop near the hotel you’re staying […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: I Am Number Four
I Am Number Four is a tough film to review as it starts off as a bit of a mess, in that it really doesn’t know what it wants to be, and then gets really fraking awesome for the last fifteen or twenty minutes or so. The film follows Four, a Lorien alien who was […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Unknown
Unknown is an interesting and well made film that shows it’s cards maybe a bit too soon and doesn’t take full advantage of the doors it opens. Liam Neeson stars as Dr. Martin Harris who is visiting an agro-business summit in Berlin when he is involved car crash. Waking up four days after the accident, […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Just Go With It
Just Go With It has a couple of funny moments sprinkled into a contrived and implausible mess of a plot that is only kept afloat by its appealing group of actors. Sandler’s latest comedy romance flick is a bit confused with what it wants to be as it openly embraces broad physical comedy as well […]
Weekly Gleek Report – “Comebacks”
Tonight’s Bieber-licious episode of Glee was sadly lacking in several areas. The fact that they included two Justin Bieber songs didn’t help. The title of tonight’s episode, “Comeback” seemed fitting as Glee came back to the poor plot devices and fragmented story lines that nearly defined the first half of this season. Somewhere in the […]
Just Go With It
It feels like every time I review a romantic comedy I feel I must explain myself. I have to explain the fact that formula movies can work, but the fact they stick to such a solid formula automatically brings them down in my case. It is very similar to a fast food burger, it tastes […]
DVD Review – Paranormal Activity 2
Paranormal Activity 2 seems to say to the original “I’ll see your frightened young couple and raise you a baby”; it doesn’t really change the formula with its most recent installment, but it might not need too. P.A.2 uses the same “archived” video and journal-like timestamp routine to tell the story of a middle aged […]
