(Chris Rebholz) 1/10/2014 10:46 AM EDT Once the scrawny kid from "3rd Rock From the Sun," Gordon-Levitt has filled out for the role of a modern-day Don Juan, who is first seen deep in the throes of orgasm. Looking like a castaway from "Jersey Shore," gym-built, greasy-haired bartender Jon has been getting his jollies from explicit videos three, four, sometimes 10 tim... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 4:20 PM EDT It's a truism that kids can't wait to grow up, while adults, especially those of a certain age, wouldn't mind shaving a few years off of their adulthood to return to a more youthful time. That latter formulation is almost always tempered with statements like "if I knew then what I know now," a summation of one of the salient p... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:42 PM EDT For the longest time I have been a big fan of the 80's teen comedy Teen Wolf. True, it was pretty cheesy and totally unrealistic but who cares? It was fun, silly and starred an actor (Michael J. Fox) who was on the verge on breaking big into film with his next film, Back to the Future. So when I found a couple years ago that a re-make of sorts was ... Read More |
 
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:33 PM EDT Luc Besson's recent film The Family ups the ante of ridiculousness protection by placing an entire family under witness protection and then shipping them off to the picturesque region of Normandy in France. Besson is of course better known for exploiting the visceral action adventure activity of criminals in films like Léon: The Professi... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/3/2014 3:16 PM EDT I'll be honest, when Burn Notice first came to the airwaves, I liked it. I enjoyed the spy angle mixed with the everyday nuances of a guy who clearly is unable to form attachments to those around him. It made me really wonder if this is what it took to work for the C.I.A. After about 2 seasons of the show, I stopped watching. Not because I felt it ... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 1/2/2014 12:37 PM EDT To give you the reader a decent explanation of the film The Ultimate Life I would need to start by giving you a review of the first film The Ultimate Gift, but I haven't so this review may seem a little out of context at certain points, hopefully that won't bother anyone. The Ultimate Life is the sequel to 2007's faith-based inspirational drama The... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 12/20/2013 5:20 PM EDT Will Futurama rise from the ashes again—again? As fans of the series know, Matt Groening's follow up to his immense global phenomenon The Simpsons has had a rather bizarre, roller coaster-esque ride on various networks, petering out after a mere four seasons in its original broadcast run on Fox (contrasting with the still running Simpsons...

(John Delia) 12/19/2013 12:15 PM EDT Galloping onto Blu-ray, the western The Lone Ranger takes center stage in your home theater just in time for holiday giving. The action packed thriller fills the whole house with excitement and adventure. The film is exciting and the bonus features are a plus, plus with over 45 minutes of extras. The release is available in severa... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 12/17/2013 4:29 PM EDT Much more than the story of two kidnapped children and the desperate father willing to do whatever he can to find them, Prisoners is an unsettling labyrinth of impossible decisions, gut-knotting powerlessness and a twisting, turning Zodiac-esque procedural and mystery more complex than the film's straightforward trailers suggest. Director Ville... Read More |
(Chris Rebholz) 12/17/2013 8:43 AM EDT It seems as if the punked-and-pranked genre of television ought to be dead by now, but four New York guys prove that it isn't in "(Impractical) Jokers," a gleefully idiotic show that has its premiere Thursday night on TruTV. Since then the show has garnered more and more fans as time passes. Unfortunately I am not one of them. While the p... Read More |
