  • The Amazing Spiderman

    Release date: July 3, 2012  Straight up: STOP comparing it to the comics, cartoons and even the Sam Raimi films. Yes this is a reboot of a franchise that is BARELY 10 years old. However, I feel that with the colosal failure of Spiderman 3, we can all agree a change of direction was deeply…

  • Moonrise Kingdom

    Release date: May 16, 2012 (Cannes Film Festival)  New comers mixed with the best! Holy rubber poop monsters Batman! Moonrise Kingdom goes at you like a baboon with a score to settle. This is the latest film by low-budget superstar director Wes Anderson. Interestingly enough; this is his first venture without the 2001 male model of…

  • Ted

    Release date: June 29, 2012  Finally Giovanni Ribisi doesn’t kill it for me! I was bestowed the honour of watching Seth MacFarlane‘s Ted. And boy, let me tell you this is a wild ride. This comedy is the true essence of a buddy/bromance flick. Let’s ignore the fact that it’s a 30 something Mark Walhberg playing…

  • Prometheus

    Release date: June 8, 2012  This film is bursting with awesome. Prometheus is the prequel to the 1979 science fiction horror, Alien. Set in the late 21st century, this flick follows the crew of the Prometheus; as they attempt to find living beings that had left humanity maps in the ancient world. What they find…

The Raven starring John Cusack is a thriller fictionalization of the final days of famed poet Edgar Allen Poe‘s life; as he aides Inspector Fields (Luke Evans) solve a series of murders based on Poe’s fictional work. Brace yourselves as this is a period piece…

  • The Cabin in the Woods

    Release Date: April 13, 2012  Holy bunt cakes Batman. Ever heard of the expression, “hell in a handbasket?” Well it fits here, only if you find handbaskets to be an effin’ good time! The Cabin in the Woods is certainly a fun flick. It’s self aware nature lets us just suspend the disbelief. Written by both…

  • Mirror Mirror

    Release Date: March 30, 2012  Girl “effin” power! Mirror Mirror almost put Spice World and Disney’s Tangled to a collective cinematic women empowering shame! Let me start things off by saying, this isn’t going to be movie of the year. It won’t even be movie of the week for me. But this is a good…

  • Project X

    Release Date: March 2, 2012  For an R-rated comedy, there sure are a lot of boobs! I barely sat down for Project X this week. And I mean barely sat down as for most of the movie I was either jumping, cheering, cringing or booing heavily. I have no idea where to start with this…

  • 21 Jump Street

    Release Date: March 16, 2012 Raunchy when needed, but never cheesy. I’m still laughing at this one. Guy and gals, I sat down for a very outrageous and hilarious night of rawboned Jonah Hill and stone faced Channing Tatum. 21 Jump Street, THE MOVIE was written by one of the dudes who brought us Scott…

  • Gone

    Release Date: February 24, 2012  Man, have we all seen this film before! No. I’m serious. If you have seen at least five films, then you have seen Gone before. So this week I re-watched the old tail of a person (Amanda Seyfried this time) with a “troubled past” get caught up in the same danger/mischief…
