Starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and directed by Joel Schumacher (The Number 23, Phone Booth, 8MM) I had high hopes for this movie, but it turned out to be average hostage situation flick with characters that I would steal from for being douchebags. A rich guy, obsessed with his work, aging wife and a troubled [...]

“Hey Sweden! They’re not Swedish, Mac. They’re Norwegian.” Just after the release of this movie I checked out the buzz and it was bad, “true fans” of the “original” movie kept whining about this version. Now, after I watched the new 2011 The Thing, I can say that it’s good, really good, and definitely worth [...]
It is pretty hard to transform a good book into a movie, but if it works it is usually pretty amazing. The autobiography of an infamous British drug dealer Howard Marks was a bestseller, and it is a pretty logical idea to turn it into a movie. But, although the beginning of this movie was [...]
Continuing with the mildly entertaining movies, next is Father of Invention. Although the poster and Kevin Spacey were promising, the movie turned out to be average but still watchable, arguably only because of the lead actor. Being a great fan of infomercials, I expected much more from this movie, maybe a more complex plot and [...]
Advertised as a new masterpiece, coming to us from Steven Spielberg and involving aliens this movie is exactly the same as its title. Even history channel plugged it into its show Ancient Aliens, or they used it for promotion of the show, nevertheless this circle-jerk was pretty lame. First of all there is no way [...]
After a couple a beers I decided to check out this new comedy, expecting Paul Rudd to be an incredibly annoying hippy that you wanna punch in the face repeatedly, possibly with an acoustic guitar. And whats up with him anyways, did you know that he is 42 years old, and he looks like he’s [...]
See No Evil, Hear No Evil and the title says it all, in this crazy and hilarious comedy. Possibly one of the best comedies of the eighties, this movie features Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder doing what they do best. Although at first glance it may seem that this is just a comedy without brains, [...]
I know, I know… As soon as you see the poster and the title of the movie you can guess that it is a dumb college comedy banking on nudity, penis and fart jokes with Carmen present to “spice” things up. And you are completely right, but sometimes you wanna see something dumb and filled [...]
I am not that much familiar with Ireland and their troubles, although I am sure, we all heard of IRA and their cause. Although this might seem as a movie that is directed towards that small portion of audience that totally understands the subject and can get all the small things that are present, it [...]
The Change-Up is another mainstream comedy with some rather zany elements that try to put it in that outrageous comedy genre. Yes, there are some great and totally unexpected scenes that are really funny but at its core this still remains a pretty PG comedy. Directed by David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers, Shanghai Knights) it uses [...]
