In sports, players will get bonuses if they reach certain milestones.  These are called incentives.  I’m thinking Vanessa is just like an athlete, she makes extra cash every time she does something out landish to promote her new movie.  The Studio will pick up the tab for her Hawaii trip, so long as she makes sure to take as many shots as possible of her frolicking around in a bikini.  In fact, I’m betting a [...]

Likely the best professional fight flick since “Rocky,” this isn’t just some new product catering to the MMA market. Director Gavin O’Connor, known for the solid but unmemorable “Miracle,” delivers a film that could’ve been sappier than a Hallmark flick but manages to serve up real emotion along with fight sequences intense enough to make one forget how often MMA matches in real life look more like makeup sex. The film begins with Tommy Conlon [...]

  All the years combine they melt into a dream A broken angel sings from a guitar In the end there’s just a song comes crying like the wind through all the broken dreams and vanished years Stella Blue  

  With a premise this blatantly ripped-off from every fifth 80′s flick, it’s nice that someone had the decency to make a movie with some laughs and likable characters. While you can guess every plot point before this thing even starts (guys make wish to switch lives, get wish, screw different lives up, decide to do better, learn about themselves and grow in wacky new situation, aren’t as hip to switch back so quickly once [...]

It says quite a bit about today’s state of film that this thing’s getting praise as if there’s an original bone its body. While there are more-than-worthy moments, two to be exact, the next level is mildly amusing, then it’s down to cutesy, and then down to terribly lame. Steve Carell returns to play “Dan in Real Life” again, a nice guy with some bad luck who we gotta love because he’s just so darn [...]

Yes. Go. Now. If not because you wanna see it, then to support folks who believe in making a real effort to not allow Hollywood to turn to crap. This movie bitchsmacks Captain America, Thor, The Green Lantern, and all the Transformers in one swoop while showing that a summer popcorn flick about explosions and aliens is able to include a story worth watching and characters worth being sad over if they die violently. From [...]

  Getting picked on? TAKE STEROIDS! That’s basically the message of “Captain America,” and it’s dished out like the peppy World War 2 recruitment films shown within the film. And that’d be okay, if only it were aware of itself like “Starship Troopers” or any movie with the brains to stop and go “Hee hee, we know, it’s corny, just have fun.” Chris Evans stars at Steve Rogers, a shrimpy dude (they took Rogers’ face [...]

Irina Shayk is totally working the red carpet. Why she’s at a movie premiere? Who really cares. The movie looks ridiculously stupid but of course that won’t stop people from going to see it.  And by “people” I mean stupid kids.  Didn’t Ashton Doucher just make the same movie with Natalie Portman, “No Strings Attached”  Hollywood basically steals our money over and over. So anyway, here’s Irina Shayk doing what she can.  She’s a hustler [...]

Almost anyone can relate to wanting to end the life of the dick who tells you what to do, whether or not we’re willing to act on it, so it’s a great premise for a dark comedy. Add some fluff and marquee names, you’ve got a not-too-bad Hollywood flick. That’s what “Horrible Bosses” is, not too bad. Worth seeing. Easily smarter than most comedies that get shoved down our throats, and easily less time-consuming than [...]

This is one of those flicks during which one must remind themselves that they’re being paid to not get up and leave. That’s for a reviewer.  For you, turn the other way and sprint from this sorry, lifeless, lame movie. Still not sure after letting this bowl of crap marinade in the brain which aspect was the most plain disturbingly lame… Was it Julia Roberts’ over-the-top anger towards things like how early the classes she [...]

From NotSomebody: Clearly, I’m not artist, so I can’t begin to understand how this Victor Whitmil dude feels, but if this movie is delayed, I know how I’ll feel.  I know how several millions of people will feel if their Memorial Day weekend is ruined!  Only now you decide to file a lawsuit? On April 28, Mr Whitmill filed a motion in Federal District Court in St. Louis asking a judge to order Warner Brothers [...]
