Very rarely does a PG-13 formula flick offer anything these days outside an upset stomach. Predictable, diluted, cutely saccharine; these kinds of flicks are reserved for those adolescent couples who are too busy trying their hardest to hold hands in the theater instead of channeling interest in [...]

Six Pack is the story of Brewster Baker (played by Kenny Rogers) a NASCAR driver whose life is unexpectedly changed by his run-in with six orphans. When my brother-in-law told me about this movie my mouth watered at all the possibilities. Kenny Rogers? NASCAR? Orphans? I could make fun [...]

Here are some more Movie review Haikus schlepped from this summers latest crop of wanna be blockbusters. Hold on to your hat Curtis, lest it be blown away.

For sixty, Indy moves well.
Spacemen? come on George.

It’s safe to say Adam Sandler has done pretty well for himself. Over the past decade or so, the humble SNL alum has transcended into mega movie star status, recently sharing screen time with Hollywood heavyweights like Don Cheadle in Reign Over Me and Jack [...]

It had been awhile since I last watched Robert Rodriguez’s camping trip to the cheese factory; his unabashed b-movie homage The Faculty, released in 1998. It’s a pretty bad but watchable flick about a deadly alien specie overtaking a Texas high school. Zeke (Hartnett), a smart but two-time senior spearheads a [...]

When my cousin told me the premise behind Idiocracy, I nodded in approval. Why have I never heard of this movie? When I watched the old trailer for this movie on YouTube, I laughed, and again, I questioned myself: How could I have no recollection of having ever heard or seen anything about [...]

Well well, evidently Hollywood not only excretes mounds of movie remakes, but sequels to remakes are becoming more and more fashionable. Ocean’s 11 gave way to Ocean’s 12 three years later, and with failure nowhere in sight; it didn’t take long to slate the production [...]

If one were to gather a group of friends to compare opinions on great comedies, the only constant would be that opinions vary. I’m sure a few staple comedies would probably be included on most lists, like Old School and Tommy Boy, Animal House and Caddyshack but, otherwise, everybody has their own preferences. [...]

Patrick Swayze is many things: philosophical bouncer and friend, dance instructor and passionate lover, surfer and arranger of bank heists, Hillbilly cop living in the big city, wise drag queen, and of course a proud and defiant WOLVERINE!

So I’m scraping my way through channels late night and I see The Hitcher listed. I’m like rad, Rutger Hauer is bad ass, even if only a mere five foot three (he’s listed as 6′1″ on imdb, but I can’t buy that). So [...]

For the girls: Josh Hartnett looking cute all rosy cheeked and bundled up
For the boys: bloodthirsty vampires (but no naked chicks or beer)
For the ladies: a hint of a romance gone south
For the dudes: an ax and a couple other fun big boy toys
I confess, I had been wanting to see this [...]
