‘Trolls’ Review: All Dolled Up with Nowhere to Go

Philip Brown — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 12:00:36 +0000

Hey, remember how everyone was begging for a movie based on those toy trolls from the ’90s? Yeah, me neither. Even in this age of nostalgia, those dumb dolls with the big hair haven’t made a comeback. Nevertheless, someone in the bowels of Fox decided that we all actually wanted a troll doll movie. In...

Now Playing: Still Kickin’ Ass and Takin’ Names

Bryan Kluger — Fri, 16 Aug 2013 13:00:28 +0000

Mark Millar’s ultra-violent superhero story is back in ‘Kick-Ass 2’. If you can believe it, this highly entertaining sequel amps everything up to eleven. From the characters to the story and especially the violence, everything gets revved up, bloodied, and kicked into high gear. While first film centered around Dave, a.k.a. Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as...

Car crashes, explosions, decapitations, exorcisms, the apocalypse and tons of dick jokes make up Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen’s ‘This Is the End’ – and it’s the most fun I’ve had at the movies in ten years.

Since I was on vacation last week, I tried to see as many movies as early as possible before I left. I RSVP’d to the press screening for ‘Pitch Perfect’ without knowing a single thing about the movie. When I told a friend what I’d be seeing, she laughed. I find 95% of contemporary musical/dance...

Now Playing: ‘Fright Night’ Is Everything a Vampire Movie Should Be

Luke Hickman — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:00:23 +0000

I cannot lie; I haven’t seen the original ‘Fright Night’ since I was a little kid. The only thing that I remember about the film is a scene where Charley Brewster walks around a dimly-lit room brandishing a cross. That, and the movie terrified me. So, if you’re looking for a review that compares the...
