Get Hard
Release: Friday, March 27, 2015 [Theater] Written by: Etan Cohen; Jay Martel; Ian Roberts Directed by: Etan Cohen It speaks to the talents of Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart that Get Hard gets funny at all. This is easily one of the most racist and homophobic movies I've ever had the displeasure of reviewing. I'd like to clear … Continue reading Get Hard
TBT: Caddyshack (1980)
Okay, so I admit it's not quite golf season yet. However it has been 'good movie' season for a couple of weeks now so I think it's time we feature a quality comedy in this month's batch of TBTs. And you might as well throw in the very compelling reason that this comes very close to being … Continue reading TBT: Caddyshack (1980)
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Release: Friday, October 10, 2014 [Theater] Written by: Rob Lieber Directed by: Miguel Arteta As the ruthless Carmine Falcone once told Cillian Murphy's Dr. Crane in a particularly insightful moment during Batman Begins, "some days, some days just go bad." Indeed it does for one Alexander Cooper and his extraordinarily ordinary family. The day before his twelfth birthday, he experiences a … Continue reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Tusk
Release: Friday, September 19, 2014 [Theater] Written by: Kevin Smith Directed: Kevin Smith No walruses were harmed during the making of this film, though you better believe the human component didn't fair so well. Particularly those in the audience. Kevin Smith I find a gamble even at the best of times. His scripts, though often clever, intelligent -- … Continue reading Tusk
OCMC: Lance Clayton in World’s Greatest Dad
Okay, I believe I've got this week mapped out the way I want. We're going to start with the heavier performances and work our way out of the dark side of things. Like Anakin Skywalker, only trending in the opposite direction. So this little. . .thing that I'm doing. . . .to pay proper tribute to the full … Continue reading OCMC: Lance Clayton in World’s Greatest Dad
TBT: 50 First Dates (2004)
Tragically, yet another Drew Sandler-Adam Barrymore film is debuting this coming weekend -- I don't know, something called Blended, and to help celebrate this simply FABULOUS event. . . . (he says, with the entire jar of sarcasm spilled out all over the table). . . I am throwing it back to 2004, to a … Continue reading TBT: 50 First Dates (2004)
Neighbors
Release: Friday, May 9, 2014 [Theater] Oh, there's a condom on my front lawn; I guess here goes the neighborhood. A young married couple's dreams of making many a wonderful memory in their first home together are dashed when they learn that a fraternity is moving in next door. Despite said frat house being filled with rowdy, … Continue reading Neighbors
TBT: Billy Madison (1995)
As I watch my viewership for this feature steadily decline this month, I fearlessly and somewhat defiantly plod onwards with the Adam Sandler theme for May. So, yes. It's basically more of the same silliness this week. Same guy. Same copious amounts of bullshitting around in front of a camera (and getting paid for it). … Continue reading TBT: Billy Madison (1995)
TBT: Step Brothers (2008)
This back pain I've been experiencing recently is causing me to be lazier than usual. Because I've been very lazy today, I felt like choosing a movie to review where it wouldn't be too much of a challenge to churn one out relatively quickly, and so I selected another comedy. And what less challenging material … Continue reading TBT: Step Brothers (2008)
