Like where are all the ugly superheroes.  Just one, hideous, fat, superhero.  That’s all I want to see.  Some guy, who developed telekinesis after playing a year’s worth of Skyrim and eating his weight ten times over in Doritos and Mountain Dew.  You know he’s never going to the gym now, if he can lift [...]

Bully is a cinematic documentary following five families and their struggles as they battle the fact their children are tormented by bullying.  It is driven by the steadfast passion the parents have brought to the issues and the bravery showed by those involved.  Their aggressive push to affect a change is followed over the course [...]

John Carter, a story about one man’s unbelievable journey from being a loose-cannon cavalryman on Earth to becoming the greatest hero of Mars.  Too be honest, seeing the movie in trailers, it seemed as if it was a bit of a wildcard.  It had all the makings of a good movie: original idea, ripped male [...]

Before I start, let me just say this, someone needs to get Jonah Hill to endorse some kind of weight loss supplement, or procedure, or at least give him a Jared-like ad deal cause this dude knows how to lose weight.  Good for you sir. 21 Jump Street is a  remake of the old tv show [...]

For a long time coming I’ve been counting down the days until Goon blessed theaters with its hockey flavored goodness.  Long have I waited for another one of Hollywood’s attempts at properly picturing the pristine pond.  It’s not an easy thing to do, hockey has as much a culture surrounding it as any other sport [...]

I think I understand mass media, it’s not the quality of the product, it’s the popularity of it.  I could sneeze into a microphone and if, for some reason, it became a global hit, I’d be getting paid enough to buy Tyler Perry’s solid gold yacht fleet.  This is why artists like LMFAO are always [...]

“The Punisher”, a heart warming tale of one man’s struggle to succeed as he tries to make light of his down and out relationship with the mob… Also, murder.  Lots of murder. The Punisher is the first of two movie adaptations on a Gerry Conway comic character that actually started as a villain to The [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Chronicle. For those of you too lazy to watch the trailer, I’ll summarize it for you.  A small, ethnically diverse, group of teens discover they are developing strange telekinetic powers (a clear metaphor for puberty) after a bizarre run-in with an alien artifact.  They then proceed to make an [...]

Agreed, it wasn’t going to be a movie I would have chosen on my own, but hey, a free movie is a free movie.  I do still have to see “The Grey” which I believe is an hour and a half of Liam Neeson fighting a wolf with a torch (which still makes it better than [...]

As per most non-game road trip nights, the boys and I got the chance to take in a film at the local cinema.  Tonight’s entertainment was the latest installment in the Underworld series, Awakening, which to me, seems like an interesting sub-title for the fourth movie in a series.  I will admit, after looking through [...]
