The Strangers Unrated
There's a series of moments that make a movie and than there's a movie that makes a series of moments. The Strangers is the first.
Poltergeist
26 years and it still scares the shit out of me.
American Gangster
The 1960’s and 1970’s were a trying time. The U.S. was involved in the Vietnam conflict, and America was locked into a war of its own on her own soil…the war on drugs. Throw into the mix the poverty of Harlem in New York City,and racial tensions from desegregation and what you get is a breeding ground for crime and drug abuse. American Gangster is a look into one man’s attempt to capitalize on th...[Read More]

Made of Honor
Made of Honor was supposed to be Patrick Dempsey’s star vehicle follow-up to Enchanted. The critics weren’t very happy with Made, and it did so-so box office business. I’m not quite sure why, because it’s a fun, entertaining film with gorgeous scenery and very engaging turns by both Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan. They play Tom and Hannah, best friends since college (and their meet-cute scene is...[Read More]
Knocked Up: Unrated and Unprotected
Judd Apatow delivers a film—in typical Judd Apatow form—about an average-looking slob impregnating a ridiculously hot chick. Is it worth the Blu-ray bucks?
The 40 Year Old Virgin: Unrated
It could happen to anyone… but it’s funniest when Steve Carell is involved.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Unrated Collector’s Edition
Raunchy comedies are great! Especially when the right moment calls for it. Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Unrated Edition certainly has plenty of raunchiness in it to make you laugh, but could it possibly be too much? One funny comedy, blah-blah-blah (blah-blah-blah is suppose to be a vampire imitation... Epic Fail on my part)Peter Bretter is a happy fellow. He creates music for a highly touted tele...[Read More]
Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy
It's a lot like a pirate's life: a little bit less enjoyable than it sounds, and it probably should have been shorter... but in the end, you'll still have fun.
Can’t Hardly Wait – 10 Year Reunion Edition
Can’t Hardly Wait is a teen comedy from a decade ago that does a fantastic job in recapturing the stereotypes and pop culture that branded the late 1990’s. While the styles and music may be very specific to the times, the themes we see in this movie are those that many people across many generations can identify with. Even if you didn’t go to high school in the 90s, chances are you’ll still pick o...[Read More]
