Let’s try something new. Instead of a normally constructed review, I’m going to list all the thoughts that came to my mind while watching “The Perfect Match.” The plot follows a career womanizer (Terrence J) who in order to win a bet with his friends (Donald Faison and Robert Christopher Riley), he must date one… Continue reading Everything I Thought While Watching ‘The Perfect Match’
Maybe studios should listen to fans more often. “Deadpool” stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular superhero (well, antihero), who after being the subject of an experiment that gives him superhuman abilities, sets out on a path of revenge against the man who almost ruined his life (Ed Skrein). Morena Baccarin, T. J. Miller, and Gina… Continue reading ‘Deadpool’ a Simple but Gleefully Vulgar Superhero Tale
They should probably stop turning TV shows into movies. “Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland” is the continuation of the cancelled television series, “Blue Mountain State,” and follows now-NFL number one pick Thad Castle (Alan Ritchson) as he funds the biggest party of all-time in order to save his old college party house. Darin… Continue reading ‘Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland’ is Average Fan Service
Two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro and two-time MTV Movie Award for Best Shirtless Performance winner Zac Efron together for a road trip. Literally the film every human has been clamoring for since Efron burst onto the scene in 2006. “Dirty Grandpa” stars De Niro and Efron as a grandfather and grandson (I’ll let… Continue reading ‘Dirty Grandpa’ a Middling Comedy
A Michael Bay movie in January. This could get very ugly very quick… “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” is the true story of six members of a security team who fought to defend the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi during the September 2012 attack. James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, and Max Martini star… Continue reading ’13 Hours’ A Genuine, Albeit Not Good Enough, Attempt from Bay
They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, and Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg have gone through lengths to prove this. “Daddy’s Home” stars Ferrell as a stepdad who must win the affections of his two stepkids when their estranged biological father (Wahlberg) shows up. Linda Cardellini and Hannibal Buress also star as Sean Anders directs. Will… Continue reading ‘Daddy’s Home’ Lazy Effort by All Involved
I think this is it. I think Leo will finally get his Oscar. “The Revenant” stars Leonardo DiCaprio as 1820’s frontiersman Hugh Glass, who after being mauled by a grizzly bear is abandoned by his fur trading company (Tom Hardy and Will Poulter). Glass then sets out on a path of revenge against the men… Continue reading Visuals, DiCaprio Make ‘Revenant’ The Year’s Best
Adam Sandler may not be funny, but give him credit; he is one heck of a businessman. “The Ridiculous Six” is the first of Sandler’s four film deal with Netflix (because he wised up and realized people have gotten too smart to pay theatrical price for his “comedies”). The film stars Sandler, Terry Crews, Jorge… Continue reading ‘Ridiculous Six’ May Be Sandler’s Worst
A Christmas stoner comedy? I guess you could say Seth Rogen and company are taking the term “high holidays” quite literally! [clears throat] OK, on with the review. “The Night Before” stars Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anthony Mackie as three lifelong friends who have a tradition of going out and getting drunk on Christmas… Continue reading Seth Rogen Steals the Show in ‘The Night Before’
It’s going to be awkward when Michael Fassbender wins the Oscar for Best Actor over Leonardo DiCaprio for a role that DiCaprio turned down… “Steve Jobs” is a biopic based on the man of the same name. Fassbender plays the titular Apple co-founder, while Seth Rogen portrays Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet plays Joanna Hoffman, and… Continue reading ‘Steve Jobs’ Near-Perfectly Acted and Written Biopic
