Review: ‘Hereditary’ Starring Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne
It’s been a week since I’ve seen Hereditary, and I cannot stop thinking about it. I also can’t wait to see it again. It’s the kind of film that leaves an imprint on the viewer and I don’t think I’ll be forgetting about it for quite some time. Some scenes, I might not ever forget. […]
142: ‘Krampus’ Starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner
Joe sets a land speed record for Video Recovery ruination during our discussion of Krampus. Tom gets all old-timey as he brings up M*A*S*H, AfterM*A*S*H and Bob Newhart, and we try to figure out just what exactly this movie wants to be. Which is more than the film bothered to do. All this plus we […]
Movie Review: ‘Tammy’ Starring Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney
It seems like you either love or hate Melissa McCarthy. Her latest film, Tammy, will do nothing to change that. Tammy is a movie that looks like it is nothing special, just more of McCarthy’s raunchy act that she has been cashing in on since Bridesmaids. In reality, Tammy is a heartfelt, feel good comedy, […]
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 […]

Movie Review: ‘The Way Way Back’ Steve Carell, Sam Rockwell, Liam James
The Way Way Back is the definition of a summer movie. The film was great in its execution and shared quite a few similarities to a film that came out not long ago, Kings of Summer. The film focuses on the very fragile and socially complex world of being a young teenager living amidst the […]
Matt’s Charity Case of the Week: Muriel’s Wedding
*cue Sarah McLachlan music I come to you this week to discuss a very special movie: Muriel’s Wedding. You’ve probably seen it sitting on the shelf at your local Blockbuster (they still have those, right) a thousand times and moved right past it. I can’t blame you, it has a weird cover – odd, brightly […]
Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Fright Night
Fright Night is a fun time at the movies with some solid creature effects, good 3D, a couple of great turns by Colin Farrell and David Tennant, and a cast as a whole that is ‘in on the joke.’ The story is simple, Charley is a high school kid with confidence issues, who can’t believe […]
Movie Review: Fright Night w/ Anton Yelchin, Colin Farrell and David Tennant
During this month of Roddy McDowall remakes, Fright Night returns with a vengeance. Starring Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), Colin Farrell, Toni Collette, David Tennant (Doctor Who) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin), Fright Night strays from the original story, but maintains its general tone. In fact, aside from the characters’ names, there is little salvaged from the […]
