Happy Belated Birthday to the Blog!
All,
I just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their continued readership. It’s been just over a year since I started this site, and it has been more successful than I ever could have hoped.
What I might be most proud of is the fact that I’ve been able to stick with it. Though [...]
Seven Mini Movie Reviews
So, I’ve had time to watch a few movies recently. Unfortunately, with exams and the holidays I haven’t been able to write reviews. I’ll use this post to get you all caught up on what I’ve been watching and whether or not it’s worth your time and money.
When Did You Last See Your Father?
This is [...]
Hancock - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 49You’ve got to give them credit for trying. Besides the new incarnation of the Batman franchise, the past decade’s burst of superhero movies haven’t held a single interesting character. Hancock is, at least, a departure from your run of the mill Marvel Comics hero.
Played by Will Smith, the walking box office guarantee himself, [...]
Role Models - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 59
I normally put a good amount of trust into MetaCritic’s composite ratings. After all, they are combining the views of many individuals, so it weeds out the outliers and usually gives a nice fair score. For the life of me, however, I can’t understand how America’s film critics could give Role Models an [...]
Zack and Miri Make a Porno - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 56
I never planned on seeing Zack and Miri Make a Porno. After really enjoying most of Seth Rogen’s recent work (only to grow exceptionally tired of it after my friends played it to death on DVD), I felt like I needed a break. From the previews, Zack and Miri looked like the perfect [...]
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 67I had some reservations about Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I love most of the recent Judd Apatow productions, but I was a little afraid that this movie, which stars Jason Segel instead of some of the bigger names like Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, or Paul Rudd, might make it seem like Apatow was running [...]
The Bucket List - Movie Review
MetaCritic score: 42
I’m a sucker for Morgan Freeman movies. Ever since I saw The Shawshank Redemption (which immediately became one of my all-time favorites), essentially everything with his name attached ends up in my hands at one point or another. I know I’m just basing this on the characters that he’s played, but I doubt [...]
Pineapple Express - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 64
There’s no doubt about it, Seth Rogen is Hollywood’s new comedy golden boy, and he’s got the rapidly growing resume to prove it. Since bursting into the spotlight last summer with the hugely successful Knocked Up and Superbad, he has been in six films and has five more due out between now and [...]
Semi-Pro - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 47
Well it looks like someone at the studio has been spending some time spinning the old “Will Ferrell Movie Generator” again. In the same vein as Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, and Kicking & Screaming, Ferrell’s newest sports related offering delivers more of what we’ve come to expect. Semi-Pro certainly has its moments. [...]
Juno - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 81
I was really disappointed I missed Juno in theaters. It got all kinds of great reviews and everyone raved about the witty dialogue. I liked Superbad and was interested to see another performance by Michael Cera. Needless to say, I went into Juno with some pretty high expectations. I left feeling satisfied, but [...]
