Spy is Melissa McCarthey’s new comedy where she plays an office worker turned 007-style super spy. And it’s a consistently, and occasionally gut-bustingly, funny flick. My favorite part of this R rated comedy is that it gets its humor from … Continue reading
So San Andreas is a disaster film. It doesn’t try to be much else and, in it’s lack of ambition, is just a forgettable generic disaster film with laughably generic and cliched dialog (the kind where I was weirdly able … Continue reading

Kingsman: The Secret Service is the spy action/comedy by Mathew Vaughn, the director of Layer Cake, Kick Ass, and X-Men: First Class. Up front, I love Vaughn as a director – he really gets what makes action scenes work, how … Continue reading
Seventh Son is a new fantasy flick out now starring (curiously) Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moor. Drunken knight with marbles in his mouth (Bridges doing an explicable accent) and his apprentice fight witches… or dragons… or bears…. This is another … Continue reading
