Philip Brown — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 19:00:34 +0000

Here’s the thing about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: With the possible exception of the original comic book series and weirdo 1990 live action movie, this franchise was never very good. Yeah, yeah, I know. Nostalgia. I get it. I was alive in the ’90s too. There are photos of me wearing outfits entirely branded...

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Review: Heroes with a Half-Brain

Philip Brown — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:00:24 +0000

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have returned, possibly signaling the moment when ’90s nostalgia hits the mainstream. There’s a problem with nostalgia, though. Fond memories tend to make things seem better than they were. Unless you’re an unapologetic Ninja Turtles nut, all this new reboot offers is definitive proof that some franchises should never be...

Now Playing: A Realistic Adult Romantic Comedy

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:00:31 +0000

If you go into ‘Friends with Kids’ expecting to see a comedy in the vein of ‘Bridesmaids‘ (which is what the ads make it out to be), you’ll probably be disappointed. ‘Friends with Kids’ is actually a dramatic romantic comedy (or a “drom-com,” if you will) grounded in reality, not some fairytale perfectly wrapped with...

In the midst of all the hoopla surrounding yesterday’s announcement of this year’s Oscar nominations, the committee behind the Golden Raspberry Awards once again stepped forward to deflate Hollywood’s celebratory back-slapping. The organization announced its nominees for the worst of all the crap that plagued movie screens last year. Would it surprise you to learn...

Blu-ray Highlights for 10/12/10. What Are You Buying?

Still recovering from last week’s onslaught of terrific Blu-ray releases? Have any money left? Fortunately, things slow down a bit this week to provide a little breather before some of the major titles coming out at the end of the month.

Now Playing: ‘Jonah’ Puts a Hex on the Box Office

Drew Taylor — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 15:00:42 +0000

If, like most people, you’d never heard of the character before, ‘Jonah Hex’ is that huge-ass Hollywood movie based on a coveted comic book property that opened this past Friday and tanked over the weekend. I could have seen an advance screening if I wanted to, but waited until the weekend anyway. Really, I couldn’t...

Weekend Movies: The Toys Are Back In Town

Drew Taylor — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:00:55 +0000

If it seems like there’s really only one movie opening this weekend, there are in fact a couple of hidden gems and other things I haven’t gotten to talk about yet. But if you do only get to see one movie this weekend, one big movie that’s already getting tons of critical love and has...
