‘The A-Team’ Review

‘The A-Team’ Review
A-Team’s scatter-shot plot misses the mark of being a good action-comedy. Its comedy is entertaining, and some of its action scenes are decent, but unfortunately its plot is riddled with enough holes that they sink the film. Plot Summary (Spoilers Follow) The film opens in Mexico, where Colonel John...

Hot Tub Time Machine Review

Hot Tub Time Machine Review
Following in the grand tradition of such cinema classics as Snakes on a Plane, Hot Tub Time Machine has a title that leaves nothing to the imagination.

The Goods Review

The Goods Review
This summer, studios have expanded the reach of the typical “guy comedy” movie. Movies such as The Hangover have broad appeal due to the affability of their characters, which allows an advertising executive to spin the movie as being about friendship, thereby overshadowing some of the movie’s...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is one of the most uninspired films I have seen in the past couple of years. Throughout the 118 minute showing I found myself constantly shaking my head and wanting to leave the theater. The beginning of the film was painfully slow while the end seemed to be a Star Wars...
