Movie Review: The Greatest Beer Run Ever
With "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," Peter Farrelly takes a remarkable story and turns it into a formulaic mix of stilted drama and toothless social commentary.
“The Greatest Beer Run Ever” Trailer Released
Apple Original Films has unveiled the trailer for the new Zac Efron and Russell Crowe film, "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," based on a true story.
Movie Review: Thor: Love and Thunder
While it proves wildly entertaining and engaging for most of its running time, "Thor: Love and Thunder" ends up a bit too light on the story side of the ledger.
Movie Review: The Mummy
Shared universes are all the rage these days. Marvel started the trend almost a decade ago and each major studio now seems eager to establish their own. While Marvel has perfected the formula in which you focus on a specific character’s story first and then slowly introduce them into a larger universe, this is an element that other studios have chosen to ignore. Warner Bros. couldn’t wait to get t...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Ryan Gosling & Russell Crowe are Bumbling Crime-Fighters in The Nice Guys
It’s the beginning of April dear readers, and that means there’s only a month left until the start of the summer movie season. In that spirit, this week’s Trailer Trashin’ takes a look at the new trailer for writer-director Shane Black’s upcoming action comedy The Nice Guys, coming out in May. Premise: In 1970s Los Angeles, down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and hired enforc...[Read More]
Movie Review: Noah
Noah is a good movie, but certainly not a great movie. It is, in the truest sense, loosely based on the Biblical story of Noah and the ark. There is much controversy regarding the accuracy of this film as it pertains to scripture, my advice to Christians is that you use this movie as a means to open up conversation. Do not get caught up in the inaccuracies, but be grateful that Hollywood is giving...[Read More]
Movie Review: Winter’s Tale
I held a great deal of hope for Winter’s Tale, but it ultimately fell flat. It had the makings of greatness, following slightly with the premise of C.S. Lewis’ Screw Tape Letters. Unfortunately, I found myself bored and wondering how this turned out so badly with such a wonderful cast. Most disappointing was Colin Farrell as the lead, Peter Lake. Seems to me he has a way of making many films subpa...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Up, Up and Away with Man of Steel
With the release of Iron Man 3 less than two weeks away, the beginning of the 2013 summer movie season is almost in sight. Apart from some occasional bright spots, this has been a pretty boring spring for movies, so the beginning of summer can’t get here soon enough. And this week’s installment of Trailer Trashin’ takes another look at one of my most anticipated films of this sum...[Read More]
Movie Review: Broken City
Mark Wahlberg’s new film Broken City is, in a word, broken. There is so much left unsaid as well as unfinished in this movie, the audience is left with way too much to fill in the blanks. There are problems with open-ended romances. There are problems with insinuated relationships that may or may not have been gay and who really cares if they are anyway. There are definite problems with the ...[Read More]
Movie Review: Les Misérables
Since its debut in 1980, Les Misérables, the musical based on the 1862 French novel of the same title by Victor Hugo, has become a true phenomenon of the stage. And like many fans of Les Mis, as it’s colloquially known, I wondered if the long-rumored movie adaptation would ever emerge from the depths of development hell. In March 2011, it was announced that Tom Hooper, director of Red Dust (...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: The Last Son of Krypton Returns in Man of Steel
It’s been an embarrassment of riches, dear readers. In the past week-and-a-half, new trailers have been released for no less than six of next year’s big movies. Obviously, these trailer are coming out in conjunction with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which was a ton of fun, and I highly recommend you go see it. Because there were two trailers in particular that I wanted to examine...[Read More]
Interview with RZA, writer/director/star of The Man with the Iron Fists
“I said to [Quentin] Tarantino, I want to do what you do.” That is what the acclaimed music producer and leader of the Wu-Tang Clan turned director RZA said when asked how his new project movie The Man with the Iron Fists came to be. RZA (aka, Robert Diggs) studied Tarantino for two years on set to learn from the man he affectionately refers to as the “Godfather” of the sam...[Read More]
