  • Forgetting Sarah Marshall

    Release date: April 18, 2008  The Ultimate Romantic Disaster Movie is a smash hit. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of those flicks that I can pick up watching at any point in its duration and have a good time until the credits rolls. Spawned by the writing heart of Jason Segel, who also plays the lead,…

  • Fast & Furious 6

    Release date: May 24, 2013  All roads lead to this… a mini-van full of testosterone that preaches about family. What can we say about a film series that started some 12 years ago? They’ve changed direction more times than Paul Walker’s 23-speed Skyline. The Fast & Furious franchise took off much like their cars and…

  • The Internship

    Release date: June 7, 2013  Crashing the system… is not as fun as crashing a wedding. In the immortal words of Jason the Red Ranger, “Back to action!” And I truly believed this action would be tickling my funny bone. Oh how I was slightly wrong. The Internship is a film about two lifelong friends…

  • Boiler Room

    Release date: February 18, 2000 Anyone who says money is the root of all evil, doesn’t have it. Or a wife. Boiler Room, suits, cars, money and bad credit. This film taught me a lot about the stock market; almost as much as 2 For The Money did with gambling. Besides Gone in 60 Seconds, this is my Giovanni Ribisi…

  • Jaws

    Release date: June 20, 1975  Amity Island had everything. Clear skies. Gentle surf. Warm water. People flocked there every summer. It was the perfect feeding ground. I have been blessed with the oppotunity to see this masterpiece on the silver screen. That’s right I saw Jaws on the big screen as a part of Cineplex’s…

  • Silver Linings Playbook

    Release date: November 16, 2012  Excelsior! …But only if you say it like Stan Lee. Some of my most favourite films deal with people and their psychological disorders. Garden State is a film that shaped the person I am today; and it isn’t a stretch  for me to say that maybe everyone can see a…

  • Casino Royale

    Release date: November 17, 2006  What do they call a Quater Pounder with cheese in France? A Royale with cheese. Hot damn! Daniel Craig’s first outing as Bond, James Bond! What a wild way to pick up the mantel of 007. Some people have said Thunderball is the greatest Bond film ever. Some people argue…

  • Gangster Squad

    Release date: January 11, 2013  No names. No badges. No mercy. Just gangstah. What do you get when you mix an awesome title, phenomenal actors, the director of Zombieland and Hollywood of the 1940’s? Awesome-sauce. Gangster Squad is written by Will Beall (contracted for Justice League) and stars Josh “Will always be young Tommy Lee Jones…

  • Django Unchained

    Release date: December 25, 2012  Life, liberty and the pursuit of vengeance… while sports awesome facial hair. I’ll be honest here. I actually didn’t have very high hopes for Django Unchained. While being a very open fan of Quentin Tarantino, I just couldn’t get behind the idea that he could write a racial piece set…

  • Almost Famous

    Release date: September 22, 2000  I much like Adam Savage of the Mythbusters hate throwing around the  term “perfect film” but there are two movies I can name without much wincing. The first being Raiders of The Lost Ark. The second is the film that set me down the path in life I currently follow: Almost Famous. No film…
