Review: ‘Grown Ups 2’ Starring Adam Sandler and Friends is One of 2013’s Worst Movies

Posted: July 12, 2013 at 12:53 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

The opening joke of Grown Ups 2 (not opening scene mind you but opening joke) features a deer pissing in Adam Sandler‘s face.  I envy that deer. The original Grown Ups reunited Sandler with many of his SNL cohorts including Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Colin Quinn, and Tim Meadows.  Kevin James (though not […]

Movie Review: ‘Grown Ups 2’ Starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James

Posted: July 11, 2013 at 8:06 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

The first Grown Ups hit theaters some three years ago, and as is the trend is in Hollywood, sequels have become something of an inevitability. Some sequels can stand up on their own merits, while others do absolutely nothing to progress a franchise, but rather bring about negative stigma to it’s name. In the genre of […]

Review: ’30 Minutes or Less’ Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari

Posted: August 12, 2011 at 3:48 pm   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Jesse Eisenberg stars in the new comedy 30 Minutes or Less. He plays Nick, a directionless twenty-something perfectly content with the freedom and pocket change his pizza delivery job affords him when he crosses paths with Dwayne (Danny McBride). Dwayne is an even more directionless thirty-something who has grown tired of waiting for his inheritance. […]

Movie Review: 30 Minutes or Less w/ Jesse Eisenberg and Danny McBride

Posted: August 12, 2011 at 12:32 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

What could be more hilarious than a down-on-his-luck pizza boy being threatened with death unless he robs a bank? I honestly don’t know, but it was pretty damn funny. 30 Minutes Or Less tells the story of Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) as the aforementioned pizza boy and his friend Chet (Aziz Ansari) as they try to […]

“30 Minutes or Less” is Da Bo…er, Really Good

Posted: August 12, 2011 at 12:00 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews, Reviews

Having seen nearly every romantic comedy that’s come out in the last couple weeks, I needed a break. Not that the rom-coms weren’t good, but I needed a manly movie with violence and women wearing less clothes than a spring break beach. Enter Danny McBride  and 30 Minutes or Less, a comedy based loosely on […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Just Go With It

Posted: February 17, 2011 at 1:44 am   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

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 […]

Bolt

Posted: January 20, 2009 at 12:15 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

  Disney Animation’s latest venture into the computer animation foray is a run of the mill, but decent adventure that doesn’t have the depth or story to really suck you in. Bolt is an actor, Bolt is also a dog, and he is star of the biggest action show on television today. The reason Bolt […]
