Movie Review: Don’t Worry Darling
"Don’t Worry Darling" is a moody and frighteningly poignant social commentary that somehow seems like it shouldn’t play as relevant as it unfortunately is.

Re-Animating the Dead in the Trailer for The Lazarus Effect
While I may have originally overlooked the forthcoming horror film The Lazarus Effect as just another retread of an earlier and, in some cases, superior movie (say Pet Semetary or Flatliners), the pedigree of the people involved with The Lazarus Effect and the film’s first trailer makes me think this film can rise above my fanboy concerns. Before we get to the trailer, you should be warned t...[Read More]

Movie Review: Rush
Given that both the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine and the motion picture camera came to be at almost the same time, and given that both cars and movies have gone on to hold such special places in American culture, it’s no wonder that Hollywood has had a long love affair with automobiles and racing. From the silent film Racing Hearts (1922), to Disney’s Herbie franchise, t...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Thor Drives a Racecar in Rush
Well, I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend and that all of you who wanted to get out to the movies did so and enjoyed yourselves.

This week’s installment of Trailer Trashin’, the last one of May 2013, takes a look at director Ron Howard’s upcom...[Read More]
Moview Review: The Words
I hope I have the “words” to properly describe the new film The Words. This is the kind of story that is probably best suited for those viewers that like to continually delve into deeper meanings. Not usually one of my favorite kinds of movie experiences, however it is one that you will continue to think about. You may find yourself going over the many different elements and philosophizing over ju...[Read More]
Movie Review: People Like Us
It turns out that men have daddy issues too. The premise of the new film People Like Us is pretty simple. Like many movies about family, it starts with a death. Jerry Harper, music producer/ramblin’ man/eternal hippie, dies and leaves instructions for his estranged son, Sam (Chris Pine), to go to an apartment complex and take care of the strangers who live there. Turns out these people are S...[Read More]
Movie Review: In Time
The characters in the new movie In Time must race against the time they have left in order to acquire more time which will extend their lives. It is a race against time, with a bit of a twist. Sound confusing? It is. While not quite as hard to follow as Inception, In Time definitely follows a mainstream sci-fi trend that seems to be happening in Hollywood. In this film’s futuristic society, ...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Change-Up
What happens when you take a few formulaic cinema tropes and add loads of blue humor? You get director David Dobkin’s latest film The Change-Up starring Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, and Olivia Wilde. Sure, you’ve seen the basic premise before in movies like Big, Freaky Friday, The Hot Chick, 13 Going on 30, and 17 Again (to name just a few), but The Change-Up is probably the most vulg...[Read More]
