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
This film is going to be one that’s a bit difficult to discuss. 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
Before I jump into the review proper I’m going to take some time to talk about some geeky film tech stuff. I know there’s some of you that aren’t going to care, and if that’s you feel free to skip ahead, I’ll have the actual film review part marked so you know where to find … Continue reading Movie Review – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
First, I have to start with a confession: I have never seen all the James Bond films. In my defense, there are an awful lot of them and I have seen roughly half, but I make no claims of being a hardcore Bond fan. That being said, I do genuinely enjoy the movies, and have … Continue reading Movie Review – Skyfall
September. This is, along with October, part of that awkward time of the year where nothing really good tends to come out at the movies. The big summer blockbuster season has officially ended and we’re still a bit early for the awards season stuff and the big holiday releases. Typically we get stuck in a … Continue reading Movie Review – Looper
