Anyone else get the feeling Ryan Reynolds needs a new agent? This guy is supposedly on the A or B list, and yet he’s doing stuff that would seem like a better fit for a more quirky character actor. And maybe that’s not a bad thing and exactly what he wants, but I don’t know. […]
Honestly, I don’t get the Trailer Park Boys. Their eponymously titled series is on #Netflix, and I’ve given it a try, but it just doesn’t work for me. That being said, I caught them on Getting Doug With High–a Youtube series revolving around comedian Doug Benson getting high while interacting with his guests, whom he also […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I am getting the feeling that Johnny Depp is coasting just a little bit. I laughed when I saw the trailer the the upcoming Mortdecai–he’s pretty amusing–but you’ve also seen variations of this schtick from him before (particularly in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) and I just wish he’d do […]
What has bothered me for a long time about a lot of Queer cinema is that it tends to be very white–in that it revolves around white people (generally males) with nary a person of color to be found. And Matthew Warchus‘ Pride doesn’t on the face of it seem any different. That being said, what […]
Wen I first heard of this trailer, the first thing that came to mine was the Nick Cage vehicle, Drive Angry. Though this actually looks pretty interesting. And sure, you can tell virtually the entire movie from the trailer (guy gets ends up driving for criminal, criminal robs mob (or some such organization), guy reluctantly […]
Let’s (Not) Be Cops, And Say That We Did When I saw the trailer for Let’s Be Cops I genuinely enjoyed it. It not only looked funny, but stars both Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr, who are also in the Fox sitcom New Girl (which is funny), whom I assume since they knew each other […]
Tusk comes courtesy of Kevin Smith, a director that I find more interesting as a media personality than as a director. The last film of his I saw, Red State, I recall being disappointed over because it advertised itself as one thing–a horror film–when it was actually quite another–essentially a thriller about religious zealots. His most […]
You don’t watch a movie called Hot Tub Time Machine expecting any sort of high-brow humor–and if you did it’s all on you because there wasn’t any be found–but what you did get was three actors thrown in the pretty bizarre situation, and their idiosyncratic ways of coping and adapting. When you think about it, […]
This looks awesome. The Pixar-infusion to Disney Animation has apparently done wonders because this looks incredible. Now combined with some goodness from the Marvel side of the family, there’s virtually no way that Big Hero 6 can’t be a hit.
I don’t quite know what to make of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman. On one level it appears to be a superhero drama, on another it appears to be a dark comedy. I get the feeling that this Birdman only exists in the imagination of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) whom appears to be a washed-up actor. What his […]
