Went to to see the new horror movie Generic Haunted House Movie… ermmm… I mean The Conjuring. There was no conjuring going on in a movie called The Conjuring… just a haunted house movie that you’ve seen before… a lot. … Continue reading
Late showing of White House Down, the 2nd white-house-under-attack movie of the year that’s somehow even more like Die Hard than Olympus Has Fallen which was already a lot like Die Hard. White House Down is the lesser film though … Continue reading
I saw the new magicians/heist movie Now You See Me (starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrolson, Isla Fisher and more)… and it’s a decent movie that’s far too in love with how clever and fun it thinks it is … Continue reading
