Review: This Is The End
Comedy may be in the eye of the beholder but chances are unless you’re a bonafide fuddy-duddy you should find This Is The End hilarious and audacious, if crude and low-brow. What saves it is the running joke of filmstar comedic actors playing themselves. Celebrity culture may never have been lambasted this believably. Throw in [...]

Dane DeHaan to Play Harry Osborn in Spider-Man Sequel
In a business overrun with adaptations, sequels and reboots, it was refreshing to get such a fresh take on the “found-footage” cliché with the original superhero movie Chronicle earlier this year. The three main actors were fresh-faced and incredibly coveted, after this low-budget hit took the box office by storm. After a star-making turn as [...]

Review: The Thing
How do you squeeze more money out of a franchise that really has no place to go? — Make a prequel. (See: Rise of the Planet of the Apes) How do you make fans of the original happy? — Make the ending match the beginning of the movie it’s based on (See: Rise of the [...]
Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The Rise of theses Damn Dirty apes bring many new things to the table. To start off it uses Weta’s amazing CGI in combination with a real live action movie. Unlike Avatar where everything was animated, this time around the only thing that is fake are the monkeys and James Francos acting abilities. As the [...]

Trailer: Your Highness (NSFW)
The trailer for Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green’s next comedic foray, Your Highness has hit the interwebs courtesy of IGN. Not that you can miss that fact, their watermark being plastered all up and down the thing as is. Green is perhaps my favorite working indie director and I absolutely love his wildly original [...]
Trailer: 127 Hours
Danny Boyle has done a lot in his day. Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, Sunshine (the most amazing and under-appreciated movie of the past few years) Slumdog Millionaire, and now 127 hours. Will James Franco ruin his hot streak? I’m worried he will…. Either way Kate Mara, Amber Tamblyn, and Lizzy Caplan (I LOVE, or should i [...]
