Star Wars, J.J. and Us
Yes, merely a few days ago, news spread quickly that J.J. Abrams was finally confirmed to be on board the Star Wars train after all. Of course, we all know that it would’ve been better to just let the beloved, and already-ruined, franchise rest in peace and to not talk about it ever again. Unfortunately, we live … Read more
Argo Review
It’s been a while that we’ve spotted this trailer that looked very authentic and poignant, and let me tell you that I was scared that the movie itself might’ve not come through. But it did. This little movie is Argo, and it’s been a while that a political drama didn’t look so good and didn’t feel so truthful and gripping as … Read more
The Amazing Spider-Man Review
We are living in a nerd-fandom world where superheroes movies dominate the box-office, and also where remakes barely wait the ten-year mark. The Amazing Spider-Man raised a lot of hope and suspicion (especially since its first attempt came out only in 2002), but let me reassure you guys, it’s all good. Without deviating too much … Read more
That’s My Boy Review
It just seems like every year, Adam Sandler has the need to come up with one bad movie. Having derailed to his original type of humor and my tolerance for any on-screen time he has is wearing thin these days. That’s My Boy, Sandler’s newest addition, would seem like the kind of movie you would … Read more
The Samaritan Review
With nothing to praise or expect from The Samaritan, a small-ish Canadian production with (tow) big names, and the only statement that this flick unfortunately accomplishes is showing that execution is everything. With a well-woven and intricate series of events, and lackluster of morale that could’ve been in the movie’s advantages, its horrible pacing and … Read more
Hysteria Review
This is an unusual title to review on the website—but hey, what the hell. Hysteria is a charming and witty British story that informs about the “truth” behind the invention of the vibrator and how women were often accused of hysteria for, well, being typical women I guess. The wits and intention of the telling … Read more
Battleship Review
After the success Transformers had at the box office, no wonder Hasbro wanted to rehash this concept with another one of their games. Battleshit—err, I mean Battleship is the bastard child of a beloved childhood board game and an attempt to over-Americanize the most idiotic and nonsensical story of the year. So, story-wise, Battleship has … Read more
The Avengers Review
There is no greater satisfaction than to see your favorite super heroes all reunite over the culminated efforts over the last few years. Joss Whedon was able to establish great groundwork from the previous Marvel installments and made it so that The Avengers was more than your shallow super hero flick, but a beautiful and … Read more
The Five Year Engagement Review
Jason Segel and Nicholas Stroller reunite as the dynamic duo of writers for this romantic comedy, The Five Year Engagement. After Segel and Stroller introduced us their version of The Muppets not too long ago and the hilarious Yes Man (Stroller only), this new addition to their work wears off easy and tries to engage … Read more
Footloose (2011) Review
Remakes nowadays are always welcomed with scepticism. Most of the times, their scopes are missed and their tone is all over the place, or just simply a copy-cat of the original instalment. Although, once in a while, there comes a movie where the studios did a decent job at extracting what worked and what didn’t … Read more
