Movie Review: Sausage Party
Ready for a good time? Great! That just might happen for you if you go see Sausage Party. But be warned. This movie is not a love-it or hate-it film; it’s just not. Sausage Party is a have fun or don’t-have fun film. But if you go into it with the right mindset, trust me, my friends. You will have fun. But heed this warning: if you can’t get past the profanity, you need to walk a...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Can Seth Rogen Slay The Dragon?
Welcome to another “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. The summer movie season is winding down to an end, and after another divisive summer blockbuster in Suicide Squad last week, this week is a little calmer with two moderate releases.

Movie Review: Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
Neighbors was a huge hit back in the summer of 2014 as it raked in over $270 million worldwide against a $18 million budget. A sequel was greenlit almost immediately and Universal hired most of the first film’s talent to return. Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Rose Bryne all star again in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, with Nick Stoller sitting in the director’s chair once more. Add in the talented Chlo...[Read More]
DVD Review: Steve Jobs
The mythology of Steve Jobs knows no bounds. A Zen Buddhist who berated his employees, an absentee father who supported his daughter, and an underdog who spearheaded the biggest company in the world, all through the guise of glasses and a black turtleneck. Was he a good guy? Was he even a genius? Such questions have been asked time and time again, often with an ambiguous response behind them. Judg...[Read More]

Movie Review: Neighbors
There are many irritations in our modern world. However, whether you live in a loft, home, condo, or even an actual cave there is nothing as dreaded as having bad neighbors. That is the basic premise of the new film Neighbors from director Nicholas Stoller (whose previous credits start strong but fall off rather quickly: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Get Him to The Greek (2010), and The Five-Y...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Watch
Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller are their typical comedic selves, with help from Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, in the new comedy The Watch. In the tradition of Old School, Dodgeball, and Wedding Crashers, The Watch appears to be a typical guys movie with a slightly different comedic ensemble (i.e. swap Owen Wilson for Jonah Hill and Will Ferrell for Richard Ayoade or something like that), but it act...[Read More]
Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 2
Dreamworks Entertainment has long relied on the Shrek brand as their flagship property, even as each sequel became less charming and more reliant on tiresome pop culture jokes, and eventually resulted in a fourth, final film that was stale, empty, hollow, and really just not all that funny even when it tried. In other words, I don’t know how the company that made Shrek Forever After was capable of...[Read More]
