Uncharted 2 Discovered at Naughty Dog’s Event

Uncharted 2 Discovered at Naughty Dog’s Event

Uncharted 2 hits stores tomorrow. That means anyone with a PlayStation 3 will either be waiting in front of their local GameStop’s at midnight tonight or hitting Best Buy tomorrow. Now yes, we are a film-oriented site but for those who have an Xbox 360 or are uninterested in video gaming (shame on you,) the [...]

A Serious Man Review (Philip’s Take)

A Serious Man Review (Philip’s Take)

A Serious Man is going to put a lot of people off. That’s just it’s unrelenting nature, as the film doesn’t care if anyone likes it or not. Essentially what the Coen brothers are doing is asking the audience to laugh at one man’s misfortunes. They’re also taking a serious look at the Jewish culture [...]

Blu-ray Review – Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition

Blu-ray Review – Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition

How do you review a landmark film? I don’t mean ‘classic’ like, say, Army of Darkness or Bullitt. No, I’m referring to films that pioneered cinema and have had dozens upon dozens of great things already chronicled about them. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs carried impact when it first debuted in 1937, namely because [...]

Whip It Review

Whip It Review

There’s a real message inherit in Whip It that’s exclusive to any woman who’s had her mother try to mold her in her maternal image. While this might seem to make the film “girls only”, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut does feature enough charm to appeal to the other gender as well. But alas, this is [...]

Surrogates Review (Philip’s Take)

Surrogates Review (Philip’s Take)

There are certain things, rules if you will, that should adhere to all Bruce Willis action vehicles. The first being him mouthing off to any and every one who opposes his authority. The second is Willis being shot at eighty billion times, followed by him serving up the best kinds of ass-kicking (a.k.a. rule number [...]

Big Fan Review

Big Fan Review

Robert Siegel could have made a documentary using me for Big Fan. I suspect it would have been cheaper to follow me around for an entire football season and watch me dedicate my entire life to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Much like Patton Oswalt’s Paul, I spend my entire week thinking about the next game with [...]

Jennifer’s Body Review

Jennifer’s Body Review

Friends, I have just received new demands. My colleagues say I’m being a troll. We have to be nice. Diablo Cody, and any bad comments toward her, must be saved for private and not told directly to her, and our compadres, whose souls shriveled while they watched the subject movie, will have lost time. But [...]

Your Friendly Neighborhood IMAX

Your Friendly Neighborhood IMAX

I can assume that on May 4th, 2007 no one felt like a bigger dunce than yours truly. While most would say I walk through every single day as a nimrod, it never rang truer than when I dressed up as black costume Spider-Man for the midnight IMAX showing of Spider-Man 3. After feeling like [...]
