Movie Review: ‘Get On Up’

Posted on August 3, 2014 by Nat Almirall

Get On Up does two things magnificently well, and they’re related: It conveys the batshit craziness of both James Brown and Little Richard, which is quite a feat and aided in no small part from Chadwick Boseman as Brown and … Continue reading →

Movie Review: ‘Lone Survivor’

Posted on January 10, 2014 by Nat Almirall

Lone Survivor is a movie that does itself a few large disservices: Its title reveals too much; its trailer is much too long and plays like quick spot on an On Demand showcase; and it tugs and shoves and pulls … Continue reading →

Posted on September 12, 2013 by John Carle

That’s right. The franchise that just keeps coming back whether it is through sequels or 3D rereleases, Jurassic Park has been something we haven’t been able to get away from since we saw Martin Ferrero get eaten off of a … Continue reading →

Movie Review: ‘Jurassic Park 3D’

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Nat Almirall

It’s Jurassic Park. I still have my toy T-Rex from 1993 — and it still roars! I know pretty much all of Jeff Goldblum’s lines by heart and am working my way through memorizing Wayne Knight’s. I, like many others, … Continue reading →

Movie Trailer: ‘Despicable Me 2’ Gets a Third Trailer (SQUEEEEE)

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Lou Devito

Yes, I am a grown man. An overgrown man at that. But I haven’t been as excited about an animated movie sequel since Toy Story 2, which came out when I was still a child and it was okay for … Continue reading →

Movie Review: ‘Les Misérables’

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Nat Almirall

I’ve read a lot of novels, and I’ve heard that Les Misérables is the best. I hadn’t read it, and I didn’t believe it. After seeing Les Misérables, I’m starting to. The film is based on the musical, but its … Continue reading →

A New ‘Jurassic Park’ Sequel Might Be Closer Than We All Think

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Jonathan Weilbaecher

The Jurassic Park franchise is one of cinema history’s biggest disappointments. The original was a revelation and a generation defining experience. The sequels were both less than noble efforts to recapture the essence of what we loved in the first film. Both, … Continue reading →

Movie Review: ‘Ted’

Posted on June 29, 2012 by Nat Almirall

Seth MacFarlane’s feature-film directing debut mines two of his favorite devices: anthropomorphism and ’80s pop culture. In Family Guy we got a talking dog; in American Dad, a talking fish (and an alien); in The Cleveland Show, a family of … Continue reading →
