The "Batman Forever" of the Die Hard Franchise.
If you are going into Die Hard 5 with anything less then absurd admiration for the character of John McClane, you are going for the wrong reason.A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth entry into the long standing Die Hard franchise finds our hero, John McClane, seeking out his ... |

The Perfect Conclusion to The Perfect Batman Story
Let's easily get this out of the way, I'm one of the world's biggest Batman fans, there's no denying it. When I heard that Warner Brothers and DC were finally giving us the seminal Batman story, Frank Miller's wondrous magnum opus to everything caped crusader, The Dark Knight Returns, I ... |

How Jennifer Lawrence stole my heart.
Maybe it's the fact that as a dude who loves action, comedies, and insane horror films, I don't watch a lot of romantic comedies. I mean again, come on, I'm a dude, so why would I? But the more and more I heard about Silver Linings Playbook, the more I ... |

Starting 2013 off with a bang.
Is Gangster Squad stylish, dumb fun? Yes, but I loved every minute of it. This is the kind of film that you check your brain at the door and just sit down and enjoy. Are there things you'll question? Sure. I mean for starters, I think we can all agree ... |

Hollywood Cash In.
Bros, remember when Liam Neeson played retired CIA agent Bryan Mills and kicked ass in Taken? Remember how fantastic that movie was? Guess what? There's a sequel! And guess what, it totally sucks.Let me start off by saying, I have the biggest suspension of disbelief anyone could possibly have when ... |

Most Overrated Film of 2012.
And I thought "The Hurt Locker" was the most overrated film of the last ten years. Sure, there's a good story in Zero Dark Thirty, I mean it's about taking down Osama Bin Laden, so I, like everyone else in this country, want to see that story pan out. The ... |

Too Depressing and Not Enough Meaning.
Flight will probably go down as another Denzel Washington performance, good, but not great.The main problem that mars just about every moment of Flight is simple, too much time is spent on a character suffering from alcoholism and not enough time is spent on the post effect of him overcoming ... |

More balanced Tarantino then his previous outings.
Django Unchained sees Quentin Tarantino return in fine form, even with a few hiccups along the way.While Inglorious Basterds wasn't my favorite Tarantino film, hell, parts of that film are some of the driest I've had to experience in modern cinema, it was a decent Tarantino film. Django returns everything ... |

The best overlooked movie of 2012.
Killing Them Softly has enough political undertones to piss off any liberal, and that was a ok with me. Taking place around the elections of 2008, there are many hidden messages throughout the film that deal with that election, and yeah, any liberal won't walk out of this movie liking ... |

This is 40, or the ballad of how Judd Apatow's Kids Can't Act.
Is this a necessary sequel? Not really. But then again, how many sequels can you say are necessary these days? I have to say this feels even more questionable as, well I remember Knocked Up being a pretty big hit, was it these two characters that made that movie? I ... |

Hyper Violent Surprise
Make no misconceptions about it, Dredd shouldn't work. On paper, reviving a film that was kind of bad from 1995 seems like a poor concept. That's probably why Dredd surprises me so much, because in fact it is a complete 180 from what I thought it would be: it's damn ... |

Skip this, watch Family Guy.
At its core, "Ted" isn't even as funny as the weakest episode of Family Guy. Hard to believe a live action movie involving Mark Wahlberg and a talking, drinking, and pot smoking Teddy Bear wouldn't be that funny? I just expected a little bit more from Seth Macfarlane then the ... |

Daniel Day-Lewis, National Treasure.
If you haven't guessed by now, Daniel Day-Lewis is pretty much the definition of a true actor. He picks his roles at his discretion, and spends months getting prepared for a role. He is the definition of a "method actor", and he's given some of the best performances of anyone's ... |

Bond. Resurrected.
When Craig took over as Bond in 2006, he redeemed one of the worst Bond films ever to hit this long standing franchise, Die Another Day . By rebooting everything Bond, things were set in motion to completely overhaul and revamp the then 40 year old (now 50 year old) ... |

Chernobyl Garbage.
File this one under mistake. Chernobyl Diaries is the newest "scarefest" (and I use the term loosely) from Mr. Paranormal Activity, Orin Peli, who won audiences over back in 2009 with that fantastic horror classic. Flash forward to 2012, and we are already three, now four deep into Paranormal Activity, ... |
