Stop it Marc Webb! Stop trying to trick me into being excited for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 For those of you just tuning in, I thought The Amazing Spider-Man was an awful movie and the worst kind of garbage that exists only to further studio politics (in this case Sony keeping the film rights to … Continue reading Well, At Least the Suit Won’t Suck This Time
So it’s that time of year again. The Academy Awards. Whatever you think of the awards show, whether you think the awards actually carry any weight or whether the whole thing is just a masturbatory exercise in self-importance, it’s still kind of fun to make predictions and argue who you think deserves to win. That’s … Continue reading My Picks for the 85th Academy Awards
I had an interesting revelation partway through watching Snitch. About a half hour into the film, I was sitting there, munching on my popcorn, when suddenly it hit me: Snitch is Breaking Bad The Movie, or at least as close as a studio can get to it without having to get adaptation rights. The film … Continue reading Movie Review – Snitch
I was fully expecting A Good Day to Die Hard to be terrible. The last film, Live Free or Die Hard, was awful; none of the previous work of either director John Moore (Max Payne) or screenwriter Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) inspired confidence; and the trailers did nothing to convince me that the film had any chance … Continue reading Movie Review – A Good Day to Die Hard

While I enjoyed the movie quite a bit there were a few issues I had with it and most of those issues are ones I can’t really talk about without getting into plot dynamics. With that said, I’m going to do my … Continue reading Movie Review – Side Effects
Ah, February. Finally we’re into the time of year where you can actually start hoping for good movies again. In fairness, this January wasn’t too terrible; yes, it did happen to contain possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life (seriously, if you missed my last review DO NOT seeMovie 43), but Gangster Squad and The … Continue reading Movie Review – Warm Bodies
One of Film Crit Hulk’s core philosophies is “NEVER HATE A MOVIE” and it’s a philosophy that I have tried to adopt. As Hulk recalls from a conversation with Quentin Tarantino, “There’s plenty of reasons to not to like a movie. But if you hate them? Meaning if let them bother you? Then they’ll do nothing but bother you. … Continue reading Movie Review – Movie 43
I was not expecting much from this movie. It’s a January action movie and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first starring role since 2003’sTerminator 3: Rise of the Machines. All things considered there weren’t a lot of terribly compelling reasons to think this one would be good. I was pleasantly surprised, however, that the movie was actually quite … Continue reading Movie Review – The Last Stand
Remember that kid in high school? The one who wasn’t terribly bright, but had the best of intentions, was charming, and had a good sense of humor? The one who would get up to give a presentation before the class and really botch all the requirements of the assignment while still managing to be entertaining? … Continue reading Movie Review – Gangster Squad
I still can’t get over just how good of a year 2012 was for movies. It seems unlikely that we’ll have another year like this for quite some time, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still some films worth looking forward to in 2013. Here are the ten movies I am most excited for in … Continue reading Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2013
