I might be one of only a handful of people on planet Earth who have never read one word of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books. Let’s just get that out of the way right now, because you need to know where my opinions are coming from. Unlike the hordes of Harry Potter fans, during the movies I don’t pick up on all the little ins and outs and various wizard secrets. People are laughing and crying and I’m …

With the looming Apocalypse/Armageddon in 2012, some folks might find it a tad bit difficult to feel sunny about the future. But take it from me, there is plenty to be excited about for 2012. I mentioned The Dark Knight Rises as my own personal 2012 must-see, but we can’t forget the other movies coming down the pike (The Hunger Games and the Superman reboot, Man of Steel), particularly The Amazing Spider-Man. And, lucky for us, Entertainment Weekly just dropped a whole …
The big buzz on the web this week, after a few fan-made trailers hit YouTube this past month, is whether or not a teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises would be attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. I was at a press screening for the final Potter film last Monday, July 11, and Batman was no where to be found. However, I’m heading out to see Potter and Co. tomorrow for the sole purpose …
There is a lot of Tom Cruise hate out there, but not from this guy. I happen to have a mancrush on Tom Cruise. He falls somewhere around Ryan Reynolds and Jerry Sloan. Cruise might be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs but I actually think the guy gets a raw deal. So he’s extremely passionate about his religion and his wife. Big deal. The dude can act and he’s the real thing when it comes to kicking ass and taking names in …
Happy Birthday Father! I love you so much! I just want everybody to know my dad is freaking awesome and all the other girls of the world should be very, very jealous. See that picture over there? That was taken before my dad and I went to my first Fall Out Boy concert. Of course you are going to look at me and see how cute and adorable I was. What am I saying? I still am adorable. Anyway, but …
How do you not get excited about this news? Well, I take that back, if you don’t have a nice HD television or a Blu-ray player than you could give a rat’s rear about such glorious news. The only bad thing? They have to include that crap-for-crap Jurassic Park III in the set. I mean, let’s be honest, Jurassic Park: The Lost World has enough eye-rolling moments that we really don’t need to be double-socked in the nuts by having …
I wasn’t so sure about Horrible Bosses, but after this last red band trailer (the movie hits theaters next Friday, July 8), I have to say I think this might vie with Bridesmaids for the top comedy of the summer. We all know, aside from a few funny lines and scenes, that The Hangover: Part 2 was a pretty solid disappointment, so the question is can another buddy comedy, this one about three dudes trying to whack their bosses, fare well …
I can’t recall how many times over the last two years I’ve written about possible rumblings and rumors regarding the locked-in-development-hell Halo movie. You remember the Halo movie, right? Yeah, remember when Halo was a big deal, when it actually had some momentum? It was in 2005-2006, at the peak of Halo 2 and its eye-popping popularity on XBOX Live, and right before the release of Halo 3 in 2007. The buzz was high and Peter Jackson – yes, the …
There is nothing in the world of cinema that boils my beans more than bad movie manners. The movie theater is a sacred temple of entertainment and there are hordes of mindless miscreants in every screening that feel it their God-given right – just because they paid $8 (or more) – to talk, text and play games on their precious cell phones during a screening. It’s not so much the act that sends me into a hot rage, but the thoughtlessness and …
It’s been a year since we’ve had to commune, by choice or force, with Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella (Kristen Stewart), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and the whole Forks, Washington crew, including the pasty-skinned, pissy Volturi creepies from Italy, whom we’ve seen briefly in the last two films. But hold on tight, Twihards, because The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 hits theaters on November 18, 2011 and the first preview hit the web earlier in the week. You can watch …
