Now Playing: Black Monday
There’s a lot to get through so I’m going to break out the rapid fire mode. Here we go. GETAWAY Former race-car driver Brent Magna is pitted against the clock when his wife is kidnapped by a mysterious villain. He commanders a young woman’s car and takes her on on a high-speed race … Continue reading
Shaun of the Now Playing
I must begin this week’s column with an apology. Life tends to get in the way these days and with last week, it proved too hectic. Something had to give and it turned out to be this column. But fear not, I’m back now to provide my latest thoughts on this week’s new releases. … Continue reading
Now Playing and the Lightning Thief
I’m writing this column after a few of this week’s offerings are already in the theaters. Many of them have surprised me at how poor they are doing in the critical response. We’re the Millers appeared to be a funny road trip movie that borders on Horrible Bosses absurdities. The trailer did make me laugh, … Continue reading
La La Lalala *SPLAT!*
It’s time for this week’s Now Playing but as I look at the two new releases, there’s a strong sense of blah. I just can’t get excited for either one. Two Guns looks like a typical Denzel Washington feature of late, with a style that apes the late Tony Scott and Antoine Fuqua. I’m sure … Continue reading
Now Playing Third Class

My Facebook ads register clicks but there’s not much statistics to show on my WordPress account. There are … Continue reading

Seeing as how I’m not in the proper mood to give these films my usual thoroughness, I’m just going to rapid fire my thoughts. TURBO looks like a giant step back from the … Continue reading
Now Playing Above the Pacific Rim
Another short week as I need to get back to work on my other project. I did want to point out a couple of articles I read concerning the lackluster Man of Steel and the future of cinema. These three were pointed out to me on the Youtube channel comicbookgirl19. All three are fascinating reads. … Continue reading
Now Playing: Airheads
It’s getting close to the crunch period for a separate project that is taking the majority of my time. For this reason, I’m going to keep these next few weeks shorter than normal. What this means is instead of one film getting the good, bad, and ugly treatment, all new releases will have brief thoughts … Continue reading
Lethal Now Playing
World War Z did a lot better than I anticipated. It went on to become Brad Pitt’s highest opening ever, beating out 2005’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I still think it was a mistake to make a $200 Million zombie film, but with good reviews and decent word of mouth, it has a strong chance … Continue reading
