Movie Review: Mother’s Day (2016)

Evidently filmmaker Garry Marshall cannot seem to get away from his tediously formulaic playbook of themed movie-making and certainly the tepid and toothless Mother’s Day reinforces this cinematic sentiment. Marshall is determined to exploit these cornball conveyor belt holiday-based movies that shamelessly boast an all-star cast, shallow sentimentality, heavy-handed and forced nuttiness and the gimmickry of…

Movie Review: Premium Rush (2012)

In a world where we’re used to seeing entire months — sometimes even years — unfold on screen in the space of a couple of hours, you wouldn’t expect a film that takes 90 minutes to show us only 90 minutes worth of action to be particularly exciting. Think again. Director and co-writer David Koepp…

Movie Review: The Internship (2013)

Making people laugh today must be the most difficult task in the world, much like a conservative winning a Nobel Peace Prize or a baseball player pulling off an unassisted triple play.

Movie Trailer: The Dictator (2012)

Leave it to the mind of the man who brought Brüno and Borat to the big screen to dream up and make fun of what isn’t necessarily a funny scenario. Sacha Baron Cohen is a dictator in Paramount Pictures’ The Dictator. Hailing from the fictional Middle Eastern country of Wadiya and having untold wealth at…

Movie Review: Music and Lyrics (2007)

I’m a sissy, I’ll admit it. I have a girlie spot located in my abdomen somewhere for cheesy, lovey-dovey chick flicks. Especially the feel good ones starring Mr. Blowjob himself — Hugh Grant. It started with “Four Weddings and a Funeral” so many years ago and although it seems no one cares it’s been released,…
