Expect a lot of Vomiting in ‘What To Expect When Your Expecting’

Actually, there’s only one instance of vomiting that is worth mentioning in What to Expect When You’re Expecting. In one pivotal moment of the movie, Jules (Cameron Diaz) and Evan (Matthew Morrison) have just been (SPOILER ALERT) crowned as the winners of a Dancing with the Stars-esque show. After the...

‘Battleship’: the good, the bad, and the worst

Battleship has finally opened in American theaters. I bet you’re REALLY excited, right? RIGHT?! When I first heard about this movie adaption of a board game, I let out a whole-hearted guffaw and awaited for what I thought would be the unofficial fourth Transformer movie. I was wrong. It is...

‘Mansome’ explores the world of manscaping, male vanity and douchebaggery

The two best quotes in Morgan Spurlock‘s newest documentary Mansome are the following: I think you try to look good to meet a woman or you try to look good so the woman doesn’t run away. The “looking good for yourself” I find fucked up. and I think the word...

Richard Linklater talks ‘Bernie’, Growing Up in East Texas, and Matthew McConaughey’s Mom

Richard Linklater‘s latest film, Bernie isn’t exactly like his crowd favorites School of Rock or Dazed and Confused. Bernie is about a guy who kills an old lady. Sounds fun huh? The dark comedy is based on a Texas Monthly article about the real-life relationship between Bernie Tiede and Marjorie...

‘Battleship’ Told Through an Awkward Wes Anderson Lens

With Battleship forcing itself upon movie theatersthis Friday and Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom taking the spotlight atthe Cannes Film Festival this week, it’s only natural that those crazy kids at Student Loans for Beer Money would come up with the brilliant idea to combine the two to make a quirky mash-up with offbeat, yet endearing...
'The Dictator': A Love Letter to America

‘The Dictator’: A Love Letter to America

The Dictator is inappropriate, crass, racist, lewd and most of all, funny. Ultimately, I am labeling this movie as the quintessential “love letter to America” for three reasons: 1.) We should be grateful for all the freedom that we our born with in this fine country. 2.) We should be glad that our country is...

Is ‘Chronicle’ Worth Buying on DVD and Blu-ray?

If you read my blog post about Chronicle at the beginning of the year, you may remember that I was very fond of the movie. My exact words were: Ladies and gentlemen, I have some big news for you: Chronicle is the first movie of 2012 that I would actually recommend for people to watch...

Watch "The Raid Redemption" Told Via Cute Claymation Cats

Watch “The Raid Redemption” Told Via Cute Claymation Cats

The Raid: Redemption is easily one of my top movies of 2012 — and this claymation cat rendition by Lee Hardcastle makes me love it even more. It’s very cute and cuddly, but don’t worry — it does get gloriously bloody. Just like the source material. Watch and enjoy:
Trailer of the Week: 'Gangster Squad'

Trailer of the Week: ‘Gangster Squad’

I can’t help but thing two things about his new trailer for Gangster Squad: 1.) The movie would probably be totally different if it were called GANGSTA Squad. 2.) Sean Penn looks like a character from the 1990 film version of Dick Tracy.
Reviewing a Movie Review of 'Dark Shadows'

Reviewing a Movie Review of ‘Dark Shadows’

I was not a fan of Dark Shadows. The movie was flaccid and did not give me any Tim Burton delight that I normally get from a Burton movie. Actually, none of his movies have given me a cinematic chubby since Big Fish. You can also count Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street...
