‘Nitro Circus: The Movie’ Review: People Jumping Off Things
Pssssht, I could do that.
I didn’t really know what a Nitro Circus was until I saw the promos for this flick. It sounds really dangerous, but despite being produced by the Jackass guys, this is something far more palatable for weaker stomachs. As ringleader Travis Pastrana puts it, Jackass stunts are designed to fail, Nitro Circus stunts are designed to succeed, so the stakes are a bit higher while the cringe-worthiness of the stunts is significantly lower. Still, how exciting is it to see people jump off ramps over and over again? Only about 91 minutes worth.

Django Unchained Review: Quentin Tarantino’s Best Movie Since Pulp Fiction
If you’re reading this and you haven’t seen Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, I highly recommend that you see it now. Don’t even bother to finish reading this review. Just grab your wallet and head for the nearest cinema. You’ll either thank me or curse me later, but I can guarantee that you won’t forget the experience of seeing this movie in theaters. Equal parts Blaxploitation flick and Spaghetti Western, Django Unchained is perhaps the most unique “Western” to ever come out of Hollywood. It’s exceedingly clever, excessively violent, and brimming with wild, creative energy. It’s vintage Tarantino. And it’s also the best thing the man has directed since 1994’s Pulp Fiction.
This Is 40 Review: Better Than Funny People
There’s one moment in This Is 40 that perfectly encapsulates Judd Apatow’s brand of comedy. A married couple (played by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann) lock themselves in their bedroom. Mann offers to give Rudd, who is dressed in an awkward cycling outfit, a quick blow job. He consents and they start going to town. However, not ten seconds pass before their two daughters are banging on the bedroom door, screaming at each other and their parents. The girls, of course, have no idea what their parents are doing. Rudd and Mann try to ignore the children, but pretty soon they’re both screaming back at the daughters as shrilly as their daughters are screaming at them. The scene still amounts to a prolonged dick joke, but there’s an additional awkwardness. This Is 40 represents a continuation of Apatow’s effort to either elevate the dick joke (the bread and butter of all R-rated comedies) or abandon it altogether.
Jack Reacher Review: Limited By the Script
A man drives a white van to the top of a parking deck. He casually parks, deposits a quarter in the parking meter, and pulls out a rifle. He positions himself on a ledge overlooking a nearby park and methodically picks off a handful of people. Then he climbs back into his van and drives away during the ensuing panic. Local police scour the scene, uncover a mountain of forensic evidence, and soon arrest James Barr, a former Army sniper once accused of murdering four military contractors in Iraq. Do the authorities have their guy? Of course not. This is Hollywood after all, and no crime is solved in a Hollywood movie until a renegade with a chiseled jaw has beaten the hell out of at least half a dozen guys and tore ass through a major metropolitan area in an American muscle car. That renegade here is Jack Reacher played by Tom Cruise.

Help Wanted – Scary Movie Plz!
Not THAT Scary Movie…An ACTUAL scary movie…that will scare me!
I have a problem. I can’t seem to find a scary movie that’s worth watching, these days.
Sure, we have the Paranormal Activity series but those movies suck. Then we have all of the the various zombie movies and some of those are good but I’ve seen all the ones that are good…and most of the ones that really suck.
What am I supposed to do, damnit?!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Review: Exactly the Movie You’re Expecting
A couple of years ago when Peter Jackson announced that Guillermo del Toro would be grabbing the reigns of The Lord of the Rings franchise, I was excited. I wanted to see Middle Earth through the lens of del Toro’s camera. Jackson deserves credit for crafting an ambitious, epic set of movies; however, unlike a lot of movie goers, I felt underwhelmed. Compared with Jackson’s earlier efforts, The Lord of the Rings trilogy came across as visually bland and devoid of character. I found the films to be bleak and filled to the brim with self indulgent shots of faceless CGI armies slamming into each other. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, on the other hand, is a smaller, more intimate story, and Guillermo del Toro generally excels at breathing life into those types of stories. Unfortunately, Jackson ended up back in the director’s chair, and his adaptation of The Hobbit is more of the same. For better or worse, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey turned out to be exactly what I expected it to be.
