The Hangover Part II

The Hangover Part II...

“Bangkok Has Them Now.” Let’s start this review off by getting to the point, shall I?  The first Hangover movie was original and hilarious. The Hangover Part II had basically the same plot as the first (no issues with that), but lacked a bit on the hilarious side....
Thor

Thor...

Having survived armageddon (round 1) I decided to celebrate my newfound lease on life with a trip to my local movie emporium to delight in the adventures of some unsuspecting hero or heroine. For this I chose Thor. As comic book movies go this was definitely one of them. The only...
Sucker Punch – a review by Colin Boyd

Sucker Punch – a ...

i did not know what to expect when i went to see “sucker punch” [2011 - zach snyder, director].  all i knew was that there would be hot chicks fighting and the other film i had seen by the same director, “watchmen” – i found strangely mesmerizing and...
The Adjustment Bureau

The Adjustment Bureau...

Love conquers all.  That’s what  The Adjustment Bureau teaches us. Unfortunately it also teaches us that a movie with a great premise and strong actors can also be kind of lame.   The movie is based upon the late Philip K. Dick’s short story Adjustment Team.  I...
Unknown

Unknown...

Yesterday I was in the mood to see a good old fashioned thriller complete with action, suspense, and plot twists. But since the Justin Bieber movie was too crowded I decided to see Unknown instead. And baby, baby, baby oh let me tell you I got want I wanted. Unknown which stars Liam...
The Fighter

The Fighter...

The Fighter tells the story of boxer “Irish” Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) as he trains to be real good at boxing. So good in fact that he eventually wins some sort of title or something.  His trainer is his half-brother Dicky Eklund Jr (Christian Bale) who is the Pride...
Black Swan

Black Swan...

Black Swan is a dark psychological thriller. A cinematic take on Swan Lake if you will. Well sir and/or ma’am I will not. Sure I thought it was entertaining and suspenseful, but I also thought it was a bit overrated. I would not say it was a bad movie, but I would not say...
The King’s Speech

The King’s Speech...

If history has taught us anything it’s taught us that history has a lot to teach us. For example, who knew King George VI was the King of England? I mean  I always had my suspicions, but I could never prove it.  Also, he was Dad to Queen Elizabeth II. This came as a huge surprise...
True Grit (2010)

True Grit (2010)...

What a terrible idea I thought. Remake a John Wayne classic? That’s just crazy talk. O’ Jay of little faith, don’t you know that the Coen bros are really good at stuff? For example, remaking the classic John Wayne flick True Grit. They say (you know who you are, they) that the...
Dinner for Schmucks

Dinner for Schmucks...

Steve Carell is the Steve Martin of comedians. Coincidentally so is Steve Martin. Confused? Yes please.  Dinner for Schmucks was the funniest movie I saw this summer. It was much funnier than the original Le Diner Des Cons which I never saw. Here’s what you need to know…Paul...
