REWRITE: PACIFIC RIM (2013) You ever have that moment when you see a great film (or even a marginally good film) and you leave the theater with your heart swollen in your chest and your ad...

DEADFALL (2012) Keep up your everything, good sir. The more I get into film--and I mean, really into film, dissecting films, writing films, reviewing films--the harder it gets to sit b...

SAW II (2005) I know how this works. One good horror movie always breeds a shitty horror movie sequel. It's horror movie law. So after thoroughly enjoying Saw (2004),  I didn't go into...

WARM BODIES (2013) There is nothing worse than watching a movie with a truly great concept fall on its ass. It's a little like a getting box of rich, German chocolates only to find that ...

WRECK-IT RALPH (2012) It's been a while since I've laughed this much in a movie theatre. And not just the "haha, everyone around me is laughing so I guess I'll snicker" laugh. A genuine,...

THE TIME MACHINE (2002) Considering the fact that this movie has a tendency to attract bad ratings, I'm probably going to get some raised eyebrows on this one. Full disclaimer: I haven't...

SAW (2004) So here's the thing. I actually avoided this one when it came out. I couldn't tell you why. Probably because it was around the time when the theaters were infested with plotle...

It's official: the much anticipated Gangster Squad  has been postponed until 2013 due to the fact that it depicts a shooting eerily similar to the Aurora shootings. Personally, I'm comple...

MAGIC MIKE (2012) This is just going to have to be one of those movies I enjoyed much more than I wanted to. Really, I figured it'd be worth the ticket price for the cat-calling alone. A...

TWELVE AND HOLDING (2005) I know, I'm on a Renner rampage. However, Jeremy Renner, as epic as he is, is a shadow in the backdrop of this straight-up good movie. The premise follows like...

DAHMER (2002) So I finally got around to seeing The Avengers (2012). Which left me, like everyone else, teeming with Avenger fever. So I did the next logical step: I set out to hunt do...

FORREST GUMP (1994) In the spirit of Mother's Day, I decided to do review of my mother's favorite flick, since she's my biggest fan (how she puts up with the crazy shit I write, I will n...

A LESSON IN SCREENWRITING I could set this one up. I could go into the importance of good, engaging writing. I could wax poetic about Quentin Tarantino. But, really, the work speaks for itsel...

SLEEPING BEAUTY (2011) Now and then, you come across a movie that's pure atmosphere. Maybe the plot is alright, maybe the characters are barely there, but it's the tone of the movie that...

THE RIVER (2012) If it wasn't obvious, I'm scrambling to do a massive, massive A-To-Z catch up. With that said, a little something different this time around. The River is a miniseries...

QUEEN OF THE DAMNED (2002) Since I reviewed Interview With The Vampire, I felt obligated to review this one as well. Even though I am aware that it is entirely unfair of me to review th...

O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? (2000) Ah, the Coen Brothers. That name is really all you need to say and I'm running to the theaters with my ticket in hand. The Coen Brothers have yet to mak...

NEWSIES (1992) There is really nothing I don't like about Newsies. It's an underdog story. It's got great choreography and musical numbers. Christian Bale looks like a baby. And best of al...

MURDER BY NUMBERS (2002) I just rewatched this movie after having put it down since...well...probably sometime around 2002. And, damn. I forgot what a good movie it was. It's a good, sol...
