‘Bad Johnson’ Trailer

It seems that in comedies lately it’s good to be “bad.” By my reckoning, this trend began with Richard Linklater’s classic “Bad News Bears,” in 1995 which was soon followed by the sequel, “The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training” and “The Bad News Bears Go To Japan.” “Bad News Bears” was rebooted in 2005, […]

‘Bad Words’ Review

“”Bad Words” Starts Out Amusingly, Before Becoming Uncomfortably Mean-Spirited And Icky.” “Bad Words,” the is the debut of Jason Bateman as a feature film director.  He also stars as Guy Trilby in a curious film that at first glance appears to be about an adult whom decides to compete in a children’s spelling bee. And […]

‘Bad Milo!’ Review

“”Bad Milo!” Is Disgustingly Hilarious!” (Spoilers follow) Imagine E.T., if instead of outer space, he came from inner space. And by “inner” I mean your ass. “Bad Milo!” is a film directed by Jacob Vaughan, and Executive Produced the Duplass Brothers (Jay and Mark).  Mark Duplass acts as well, and probably is most well-known as […]

‘Welcome To The Jungle’ Review

“For a movie with the same title as a Guns N’ Roses song, “Welcome To The Jungle” has no bite.” Rob Meltzer‘s “Welcome To The Jungle” stars Adrian Brody as Chris, an unappreciated office drone whom redeems himself  (sort of) on a corporate Outerward Bound-type of excursion. Rob Huebel (“The League,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) plays […]

‘Tammy’ Teaser Trailer

Melissa McCarthy is funny, though I get the feeling that she’s the first person you call in Hollywood when you want a female actor who’s seemingly defined by her weight.  That being said, if she’s also being typecast, it’s all the way to the bank. And if I were being honest–which I try to do […]

‘Odd Thomas’ Trailer

And speaking of ‘odd…’ I haven’t read any of the novels that make up the basis of Stephen Sommers‘ “Odd Thomas” (which were written by Dean Koontz, who if I were being unfair I would say has always struck me as the ‘Poor Man’s Stephen King’).  That being said, I enjoyed the movie version of “Phantoms, […]

‘A Million Ways To Die In The West’ Restricted Trailer

I should begin by saying that I am not a huge Seth MacFarlane fan.  The humor of many of his shows, like “Family Guy” and “American Dad”–I haven’t seen “The Cleveland Show” so I can’t comment upon it–is often in really bad taste. I don’t mind pushing boundaries, but it comes off more often than […]

‘That Awkward Moment’ Trailer

Not sure what to think of “That Awkward Moment.”  It looks amusing (though truth be told it’s a 2 minute 9 second trailer.  In that time I could probably cut an amusing Schindler’s List trailer) but I am getting a “New Girl” type of feeling. By which I mean you have two white guys and […]
