The Avengers...

Joss Whedon’s The Avengers may or may not be the best superhero movie ever made, but it’s definitely the biggest. Assembled in one movie for our entertainment are the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, Hawkeye, and Black Widow. Granted I know nothing...

The Cabin in the Woods...

Joss Whedon is the co-writer and producer of The Cabin in the Woods. He is awesome. In conclusion, The Cabin in the Woods is awesome. End of review. Ok just kidding. I have to write more as it is required by law and the powers-that-be. For those of you who are not familar...

Intruders...

The first thing I noticed about Intruders was that I couldn’t understand what the hell people were saying. Then I realized they were speaking Spanish. Thankfully there were words at the bottom of the screen to help me figure out what they were saying. If only I could read. Luckily...

The Innkeepers...

Ti West’s The Innkeepers is a good old-fashioned ghost story. It’s slow-building, well-acted, and (at times) genuinely scary. It was a welcome change from the usual gory predictable slash-fest that has been commonplace in horror movies for the last couple of decades. It...

John Carter...

It is a scientific fact that I enjoy the occasion movie. It has also been widely publicized that I will partake of a sci-fi flick from time to time. So it should come as no surprise to me that decided to go see Disney’s John Carter. I even chose to see it in 3D which...

Jay Likes the Oscars 20...

Billy Crystal is back hosting the Oscars and all is right with the World. Expect for war, famine, and global warming. But aside from those things all is good. In years past my Oscar picks have been more heavily based on the predictions of they-who-are-in-the-know rather than...

“The Holding Patt...

We here at Jay likes Movies also like music. If fact, we love music. Especially Texas music. So when I listened to the new album The Holding Pattern by my good friend singer-songwriter Nate Kipp I felt it absofrackinlutely necessary to share my thoughts with you, dear Jay likes...

Van Halen – A Dif...

They heard we missed them so they’re back! Van Halen (the ‘they’ of which I speak) went out and recorded their first album with “Diamond” David Lee Roth in almost 30 years and it is awesome. In fact, dare I say it’s the best Van Halen album in 30 years. Oh I dare. I...

Chronicle...

Chronicle is Heroes meets Paranormal Activity. For the most part it’s shot from the point of view (and hand-held camcorder) of a troubled-teen who suddenly finds himself and his two friends with superhuman powers. Let’s not worry our pretty little heads about how they got their...

The Artist...

There are no words to describe The Artist. For the most part there are no words in The Artist. French director Michel Hazanavicius’s love letter to the silent film era was the best movie of 2011. I know I’ve probably said that before, but I really mean it this time. It’s...
