Netflix – After serving time for the attempted murder of a District Attorney, disgraced former cop Joe Denton returns home looking for redemption. An embarrassment to his parents and abandoned by his ex-wife, it seems as if things can’t get much worse. But then Joe finds himself trapped in the mess he left behind—in the cross fire between a crooked […]

That’s right, it’s October.  Right now you are thinking to yourself, “I want to watch a horror movie this weekend but I don’t know what one.”  Well don’t listen to Netflix, because it will probably recommend Saw VI.  Instead, you should listen to me because I love movies.  Not all of these movies will keep you up at night but […]

The three day weekend known as, “I’m getting really f’d up today and I don’t care if I’m hungover tomorrow,” is finally here.  Also known as Memorial Day Weekend, it’s a time devoted to remembering the fallen soldiers who died while serving their country.  On this day, we celebrate three soldiers who gave their lives for their country and mankind.  […]

This Post Has Risen From the Dead Halloween is around the corner AND the Foo Fighters are playing in Los Angeles tonight. What more could you ask for? The term “Foo Fighters” was used by Allied aircraft pilots during World War II to describe U.F.O.’s, or Unidentified Flying Objects.  It’s also the name of the rock band formed by former […]

The Change-Up, starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, comes to your local theater this Friday.  It’s from the director of Wedding Crashers and the writers of The Hangover.  Well that’s what the trailer tells you: Movie studios spell it out so middle America can say, “Oh yeah,  The Hangover!  Wolf Pack!  Jager Bombs!  “Bombs Over Baghdad!”  Bad Dad!  She’s Having […]

I’m surprised that more movies today don’t open with a roller skating sequence.  It adds a certain “Wow factor” to the movie that can’t be replicated with CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) or even amazing acting.  Roller skates do two things for the film:  First, it establishes your protagonist as a free spirit; Second, you can have them introduce their environment […]

As a child I remember thinking to myself that I would never be one of those adults that would say, “When I was a child.”  As I find myself writing this I realize that I was just lying to my future self.  When I was a child movies were an epic event.  Netflix, Pirate Bay and hell, the internet hadn’t […]

Harold Camping (89), founder of Family Radio, has predicted that the second coming of Christ will happen on May 21st, 2011.  Well, we’ve had a good run, haven’t we?  Wait a second, I just re-read that.  He’s 89!  It’s hard to believe that someone that old doesn’t poop his pants in the middle of the night or has detailed conversation […]

It’s the day before Lent, which means Fat Tuesday has finally arrived. We can finally eat twenty Paczkis without any vegetables, flash anyone as long as they give you some plastic beads, and watch movies inspired by the great city of New Orleans, Louisiana without judgement. Are you giving anything up for 40 days and 40 nights? We have decided […]

There was a time when Hollywood was forced to make original movies because it had no choice.  A time when the math equation was as simple as X + Y = Z.  Somewhere down the line, the “powers that be” came to the conclusion that if you added more numbers to the equation (re-makes, sequels, re-boots), the end result would […]
