Release Date: July 17th, 2012
Friends With Kids is a movie that I went into very confused. For a movie to have Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, and Maya Rudolph in it and not have even made a blip on my…
John Carter
Release Date: June 5th, 2012
The reception for John Carter was the definition of “panned”: big budget action movie at a major studio falls flat at the box office, and the critics crap all over it. I have to say,…
Safe House
Release Date: June 5th, 2012
You know, I gotta admit, I’m starting to get tired with straight up action movies. Most of them are incredibly boring, and the “twist” in them is never very good. Seriously. It seems like everybody…
Dark Tide
Release Date: April 24th, 2012
At the top of the stack of Blu-Rays I’m to attack this summer was Dark Tide. This was not a fact about which I was overly pleased. This basically ‘straight-to-dvd’ release about sharks starring Halle…
War Horse
Release Date: April 3rd, 2012
Last October, I happened to go see the play War Horse on Broadway. I came out of it with mixed feelings. The main allure of the play had paid off: there were teams of puppeteers…

Shame
Release Date: December 2nd, 2011
Shame is one of those movies that I think everybody should see at least once. Not only did the controversy surrounding its NC-17 rating (and subsequent nominations and wins) make it one of the most…
Beginners
Release Date: November 15th, 2011
When my editor shoves a stack of Blu-Rays into my hands and tells me to get cracking, it’s a job I undertake with hesitation. While I do love my job, I’ve come to realize over…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Release Date: November 11th, 2011
Okay, so I feel as though it’s necessary for me to clear the air before I start this review: I grew up with Harry Potter. I read every book with my parents as soon as…
Cars 2
Release Date: November 1st, 2011
Of all the Pixar franchises to make a sequel out of, they had to choose Cars. Why? I have no idea. I’m not saying the original was bad—on the contrary, it was really rather good,…
