Magic Mike

(John Delia) 06/28/2012 2:15 PM EDT
Bare bods and fast music can't save Magic Mike. Even if the ladies think they are being entertained, it's all a façade to cash in on a voyeuristic business that has clung to the sexual 90's. It may be a take on Tatum's early teen romp to fill his pockets, but the actor did better with his "Step-up" acting than he does h... Read More

Deliverance

(Chris Rebholz) 06/28/2012 11:27 AM EDT
This is the weekend they didn't play golf. That's the tag line for a film that has seared itself into the minds of a generation of fans. Deliverance has lasted for over three decades as lesson one of a Northerner's introduction to the South. Showing the backwoods and a laid back lifestyle, almost to the point of being inbred, thos...

Wilfred: The Complete First Season

(Chris Rebholz) 06/28/2012 11:15 AM EDT
Series co-creator and co-star Jason Gann describes Wilfred as "Donnie Darko meets Russell Crowe on a bender." That gets you at least halfway there. The show, which is based on Gann's Australian TV comedy of the same name, revolves around the old imaginary friend/talking animal conceit of Mr. Ed and the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey wit...

Wrath of the Titans

(Chris Rebholz) 06/27/2012 10:00 AM EDT
Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans arrived to negative reviews, divided audiences, and set off a much discussed 3D. Warner cleaned house for the sequel. New director, new screenwriters, new beasties, and a leaner, meaner tale. But is this version/sequel any better? In some ways, yes -- the performances are certainly better, the dialogue shar...

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

(Chris Rebholz) 06/23/2012 6:52 PM EDT
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter": Those four words, strung together in that order, sound like a lot of fun, don't they? It's a totally ridiculous premise, this notion that the 16th U.S. president lived a whole other secret life, prowling about at night, seeking out bloodsuckers. But it's a creative one, and it should have prov... Read More

Brave

(Chris Rebholz) 06/22/2012 1:42 PM EDT
The latest feature from cinema Juggernaut Pixar is Brave and while visually it is everything we've come to expect from that think-tank of geniuses it might disappoint many loyal fans. This marks the 13th animated feature from the world's most consistently successful film company and the first (for them) set in that version ... Read More

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

(Roger Longenbach) 06/22/2012 8:36 AM EDT
Usually with a disaster movie you follow the main characters as they fight for survival. In this case, we have something different: there is no hope for survival. What would you do? Would you party like its 1999? Would you loot? Would you continue about your daily life? Would you spend it with your family? ... Read More

Project X

(Chris Rebholz) 06/21/2012 9:09 AM EDT
Morally vapid. Those are the words that come to mind when analyzing this movie. Producer Todd Phillips and director Nima Nourizadeh's Project X is a wasteland; a vast empty desert prowled by self-destructive teenagers consuming anything and everything that will bring them to the brink of death. Adults who find humor in underage drinking a... Read More

Rock of Ages

(Paul Kates) 06/14/2012 9:43 AM EDT
The raw edge of 1980's rock music, mixed liberally with the associated lingo, leads to a fun-packed, two hours of movie fun in the form of Rock of Ages. It should have you singing along to a whole host of recognizable hits that have stood the test of time.Based on the hit Broadway show, the movie follows wannabe singers Sherrie (Julianne Hough) and...

That's My Boy

(John Delia) 06/13/2012 4:45 PM EDT
Coming off a dismal outing with Jack and Jill, Adam Sandler releases his newest comedy That's My Boy trying to reconnect to his fans. Partnering up with Andy Samberg and going old school he makes the film a hit. The very funny story builds during each act leading to a very humorous ending. The silly little plot goes like this; w...
