‘Super Troopers 2’ Review: Criminally Unfunny

Jason Gorber — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:00:26 +0000

I broke a couple of my rules when I screened ‘Super Troopers 2’. Normally for a sequel, I’d hunt down the original so that I wouldn’t miss any of the callbacks or subtlety of character development. Instead, I figured with this one that the best tack would be one of surprise, just to see what...

‘Goon: Last of the Enforcers’ Review: A Hokey Hockey Sequel

Philip Brown — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 20:38:49 +0000

A few years ago, the hockey comedy ‘Goon’ proved to be a pleasant surprise by being both disarmingly sweet and disorientingly filthy. Now the sequel has arrived and somehow seems to get everything wrong that the original movie got right. Even as someone who has absolutely no interest in hockey, I have to admit that...

Netflix Watch: Goons and Soldiers

M. Enois Duarte — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:00:20 +0000

For my latest trip through the Netflix Instant Watch archives, I’ve dug up something new as well as something a little older. Seann William Scott shows off his talent on the ice while Tommy Lee Jones plays toy soldier. ‘Goon’ The Stif-meister finally gets a chance to shine in this indie comedy about the seemingly...

Criterion collectors, indie movie fans, Shakespeare buffs and classic foreign film aficionados might all find new Blu-ray titles to peak their interest today. For anyone looking for something a little more mainstream… Well, there’s always next week. Don’t get me wrong; I fall into most of the above categories. Even so, there’s no denying that...

Now Playing: A ‘Reunion’ Worthy of a Direct-To-Blu Release

Luke Hickman — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:00:51 +0000

I know that plenty of people out there believe that the ‘American Pie’ movies are some of the funniest R-rated comedies around, but I’m not one of them. The first movie was funny enough, but not three – and especially not four – times. Since ‘American Wedding’, the franchise has become a ‘National Lampoon’ of...

Weekend Movies: Rehashes of Old Stories

Luke Hickman — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:00:23 +0000

This weekend is pathetic. It would almost have to be. No studio in its right mind would open an actually good movie against the unstoppable ‘Hunger Games’. One opener this weekend appeals to a young audience (well, an audience younger than should be attending ‘The Hunger Games’), but the other is a sequel hoping to...

The Trailer Park: Unofficial Remakes, the Sequel

M. Enois Duarte — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:00:55 +0000

Like I said in a recent Trailer Park post, too many movies today feel like Frankensteined vehicles of dullness. Either Hollywood is getting lazier with each passing year, or creative originality has completely vanished. However we look at it, a good chunk of new releases are either remakes and reimaginings or clearly rehashed ideas from...
