My Date Night With Tina Fey

I saw and reviewed Date Night the other night for Den of Geek, and I have to say something about Tina Fey.  While I go back and forth on just how funny I think she is, there’s one thing about her I can’t deny.  She’s adorable.  With glasses or without (but definitely with) her glasses, [...]

Back To The Hot Tub Hangover Machine In The Future

It’s hard to review a comedy.  I mean, I can eyeball a horror movie or a sci-fi thriller or an action flick and say, “Yes, this is good,” or “No, this isn’t good,” pretty easily, even if it’s not my particular taste.  There’s nothing tougher to review than a comedy.  What I find funny, you [...]

Dawn of the Dreadfuls

After having sat on the review for an entire week, today is the release date for my Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls review.  It’s about time March 3 got here, because I’ve been going nuts talking the book up in private but without any recourse to spew my review upon the [...]

Cop Out, The Crazies, And Me.

So I saw Cop Out, and I’m in the minority since I actually enjoyed the movie.  For me, it works as a direct homage to those 80′s buddy cop movies, before they got all worn out by overuse.  Most people apparently didn’t dig it, but I liked it and apparently the audience did too, since [...]

A “From Paris With Love” Review From Ron With Love

So, Pierre Morel is really making a play to break out of Luc Besson’s shadow, at least in terms of directorial skill.  I mean, he’s still working in Camp Besson, but he’s at least in charge of the productions, rather than just the cinematographer.  District B13 was awesome, Taken was way awesome, and the verdict [...]

This Zombieland Is Your Land, This Zombieland Is My Land

So, Zombieland.  I got to see it this weekend and, in a word:  awesome.  In two words?  Fucking awesome.  It was this weekend’s big hit and nobody I know who saw it has a bad word to say about it.  Check their blogs and see if you don’t believe me. (And if you don’t buy [...]

but would your Surrogate have Jennifer’s Body

Well, I saw two movies in the last two weeks, Jennifer’s Body and Surrogates.  Jennifer’s Body was fun horror/comedy, and Surrogates was kind of fun (because of Bruce Willis) sci-fi/action, but it was Surrogates that got my brain a-scrambling like a midget on a treadmill.  Well, it was a combination of Surrogates and this quote [...]

Featuring Jeremy Piven As Himself

Well, I saw The Goods this weekend.  Basically, it’s another starmaking vehicle for Jeremy Piven (who already had one in the underrated PCU) where he plays a guy who… well, let’s be honest here.  Jeremy Piven is basically playing Jeremy Piven here.  Or some version of Jeremy Piven, at least.  Here’s the review, for those [...]

Funny People Review–Special 2-page Director’s Cut

Gonna do something a little different today, gang.  I wrote a nice review of Funny People for Den of Geek (number one at the box office, and number one in our hearts), but not only was it a little long, it was a little inappropriate for the audience involved.  Mostly because people couldn’t care less [...]

Jack Black Sucks (And Other Things You Already Knew)

I saw Year One last weekend.  Not many other people did.  The crowd was sparse, as were the laughs. Here’s the review. It’s hard to believe Jack Black has gone from High Fidelity and Tenacious D to doing dreck like this.  It’s even harder to believe that Harold Ramis was associated with the project (though [...]
