Another Holocaust movie?  No, thanks. Nazi zombies getting killed with chainsaws? Yes, please! Thanks, Rush Blogg!

I’ve discovered the secret to blogging more often: Write Less! The much delayed ensemble romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, based on the book of the same name that has been dog-eared by cat-owning women across the world, is finally coming out February 6th.  The poster went online today.  Hmm…I wonder what this [...]

Zack & Miri are best friends and roommates.  They are unabashedly losers with dead end jobs, no money and a crappy apartment in a Pittsburgh suburb.  With rent due, their heat and water turned off and an embarrassing high school reunion to overcome, Zack has the brilliant idea to make and distribute a porno.  They encounter [...]

Ah, subtitles. When you’re willing to read while you’re watching a movie, it must be great. Or else you were duped. The trailer for The Band’s Visit is charming and funny. An Egyptian police band wandering a deserted street in Israel, trying to get to their gig but ending up in the wrong town! The [...]

Is it just me, or does this poster kind of give you a headache?  It’s so busy and brash and loud and colorful but something is most definitely missing.  It doesn’t make me think whimsy and magic, it just makes me glad I don’t have a kid to drag me to see this cheesy piece of crap.

Casey Affleck… really? In a movie directed by Ben Affleck? (Notice they were smart enough to leave that off the poster…) Isn’t this a bit like if Ron Howard cast Clint Howard as the lead in ‘A Beautiful Mind’? I mean, Clint looks more like John Nash than Russel “ya testicle!” Crowe does… Hmm, also [...]
