Get Out – The Trailer Reaction

For the Movie Buff in Us All
If you’re anything like me, you have oodles of useless movie trivia in your brain. It sits there doing no one any good until you’re at a party and you overhear someone saying, “Who that actress from the Scream movies?” Of course you then cut your friend off mid-sentence to lean over and say, “Neve […]
New Releases in Theaters – June 20, 2014
It’s not the biggest weekend at the box office, but that’s fine with me as I’m still playing a little catch up. My mpm (movies per month) has seen a steep decline this year as my other hobbies edge in on my time. So I’m thankful for weekends like this where there’s nothing I’m dying […]

Once upon a time, maybe in 2007 or 2008, I passed Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the streets of Manhattan during my lunch break. Back then he was just that kid from Third Rock from the Sun to me. If only I knew then that I’d become one of the biggest J.G.L. fans on the planet, […]

In 141 years from now, Earth will be so overpopulated that the wealthiest people will abandon the planet and establish their home in an orbiting space station called Elysium. Earth will belong to the downtrodden, and the never the two groups shall meet. That’s where things stand at the beginning of Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium. […]

Don LaFontaine is probably the most famous voiceover actor of all time. Even if you’ve never heard of him, you have heard him before. If you’ve watched TV ads, you’ve heard Don LaFontaine. (He’s voiced hundreds of thousands of TV ads.) If you’ve watched movie trailers in the last fifty years, you’ve heard Don […]

When a horror movie can integrate comedy in a believable way, I’m always a happy customer. As a teenager in the 90’s, I was in love with the self-referential Scream trilogy. In the early 2000’s Shaun of the Dead upturned the zombie genre and became an instant favorite of mine. Last year’s Cabin in the Woods took […]
