Ever seen that movie Hitch with Will Smith? Or any other movie about a down on his luck loser who needs to win back the respect of his kids and the love of his life with the help of a womanizing hunk? What about an ensemble movie with love hijinks and misunderstandings and miscommunications... Continue Reading →
LMAO THIS FUCKIN MOVIE. I wanted some kind of coherent action. I wanted entertainment. I wanted a story. Instead I got a clusterfuck of explosions, angry music, bad accents, cliche antagonists and shitty one liners delivered by my favorite potato. People think I’m hard on Vin Diesel. They’d be wrong because I’m actually hard for... Continue Reading →
“The State of the Union is strong!” xXx: State of the Union is the worst movie I’ve seen since the original xXx. And I’m sure you remember my review of that movie. I loved it. I want to say a lot about this movie, but all of it is negative. Don’t watch this movie. There... Continue Reading →

They don’t have any content or function beyond entertainment, and then the question of the review becomes, ‘was... Continue Reading →
The movie is an ambitious attempt at capturing a classic tale from yesteryear, in the context of a realistic sci-fi environment. It’s a cowboy story that would have been happy with John Wayne and some natives in the Wild West. It’s True Grit if the dad died in the first act. I hit play on... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to look at the Terminator franchise without talking about the others in the series, and it’s especially hard to talk about the direction of the story without talking about the story of the original. The entire concept is grounded in such a nonlinear fantasy mechanic that it negatively influences nearly any entry... Continue Reading →
