Saw The World’s End, the new sci-fi pub crawl movie that’s a spiritual successor to Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. With great affection, I have to say I didn’t really love this movie. It’s got a lot going … Continue reading
Saw the new home invasion / horror flick You’re Next… which looks like every other home invasion flick ever made (The Strangers, The Purge, Funny Games, etc.) and proceeds to be one of the worst movies of the year with … Continue reading
For some crazy reason, went to see an opening night showing of the new teen fantasy/horror flick The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones… based on a highly mediocre novel without an ounce of originality that wasn’t borrowed from a mish-mash … Continue reading

Saw (Lee Daniel’s) The Butler, a very well-acted movie about the civil rights movement and race from the mid 50s through 2008 that incidentally is about a black butler in the White House from Eisenhower through Reagan. It’s got a … Continue reading
Saw… because I had to get out of the house and away from the food and not because I really wanted to see it… the decent and totally average-in-all-ways buddy action flick 2 Guns starring Denzel Washington and Marc Whalberg … Continue reading
