RSSReview: 'What's Your Number?' Counts On Chemistry, Is Greater Than Sum Of Its Parts
“What's Your Number” first looked to be a movie about how silly magazines like Cosmo craze typically well adjusted women into believing (or trying) ridiculous things in the name of romance and passion. The flip side of this is that these sorts of magazines can also make women believe they are weird, or fat, or slutty. It's the latter in “What's Your Number” a romantic comedy for I'm-not-sure who that manages to delight anyhow.

Review: 'Dolphin Tale' A Whale Of A Time For Kiddies
Do me a favor, locate your local corporate coffee shop chain and nab five sugar packets. Thanks. I'd like you to go ahead and pour all those sugar packets down your throat simultaneously. Okay, so, how's that feel? Weird right? The combination of guilt because you're a dirty, dirty thief, and sweetness overload from the sugar packets, is about the same the feeling you leave “A Dolphin Tale” with.
“A Dolphin Tale” is a sugary sweet family friendly tale that isn't going to rock your world. There's no inspirational soundtrack like with "Free Willy" or an adorable puppy that does cute puppy t...

Review: 'Drive' Steers Clear Of Movie Cliches By Shifting Into High Gear
“Drive” is a point blank shotgun blast to your dome. This is not a metaphor. About a half hour into “Drive”, the audience (and myself) started questioning what exactly Director Nicolas Winding Refn was attempting to accomplish by putting all this pesky exposition in an action movie. Then second act of the movie kicks in with a literal point-blank shotgun blast to the dome, and does not let up. It's jarring how unexpectedly graphically violent this film is. The blood and violence arrives quickly and doesn't stop flowing until the credits. Once Ryan Gosling's character is in the sh*t, he's i...

Review: 'Crazy Stupid Love' Is A Thinker.
So, I cooed and ruined everything. There was I was. On a date, to a movie I actually paid for, keenly aware of the dress and the legs (my god those legs) and personality sitting next to me. Throughout the duration of "Crazy Stupid Love" I slowly (very slowly) inched my hand into the territory of her arm rest, hoping perhaps her hand would notice just how empty and eager mine was for a pal.
She didn't. But that's okay, because "Crazy Stupid Love" is the kind of movie that doles out hope like parade candy. Hope for lost love, unrequited love, and hope for those who have never been in love at...

Review: 'Warrior' A Wimper, Not A Roar
So a previously violent and drunken wrestling coach, a soldier with undiagnosed PTSD, and a high school science teacher walk into a MMA tournament. I'll let you write the punchline. But if you're watching the 2011 testosterone-o-rama “Warrior” the joke's on you.
We open with Tom Hardy (of “Inception” fame) juggling a variety of not-particularly-well-explained-to-the-audience demons, the most distracting of which appears to be irritable switching accent syndrome. We know he's troubled because he's wearing a dark hoodie and drinking from a can inside of a paper bag.

'A Good Old Fashioned Orgy' Is A Good Old Fashioned Raunchy Comedy
If the title "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" alone doesn't grab you, odds are no one is grabbing you (in the good way) period, and this movie isn't for you. But if it did and someone does, I'd check it out.
And, if it wasn't for all the sex and nudity and orgies (okay, only one orgy), I'd probably recommend “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy” for the entire family. Or at least for entire groups of (close) friends.During a summer in which a romantic comedy made audiences seriously think about Alzheimers, and a silly fighting movie reminded us of the dangers of domestic and child abuse, it's about damn ...

'5 Days of War' Is More Like A 2 Hour Guilt Trip.
5 Days of War wants to be Shindler's List so bad it hurts. No really. It hurts. I legitimately got whiplash from throwing my head back in my chair in frustration over just how emotionally manipulative this movie was. From the word go we have Steven Spielberg's classic to thank for the following scenes in 5 Days of War:
Appropriately ethnic music playing over scenes of horrible destruction that occur during a grand family celebration. A heated tête-à-tête between a civilian and a millitary commander. A post credits memorial scene in which tearful families list of names of relatives lost in ...

Review: 'Attack The Block' Is A Delightful Assault On The Senses.
What I liked about “Attack the Block” was that it was happy to have fun within it's genre without making fun of the genre itself. “Shaun of the Dead” (which was from the same producers) for example, was a parody of Zombie movies, kidding them right up to the Zombie-bludgeoning-set-to-Queen-dance-number. “Attack the Block” is a funny movie about a very serious alien invasion. It’s a slight difference, but it changes everything.

Review: 'Friends With Benefits' More Like A Pen Pal
Ahhhh, the illusive friend with benefits. Desired by many, possessed by few. Lets face it, unless you’re a professional athlete, government official, or Oprah, finding a woman willing to sleep with you sans an emotional commitment will come with so much extra baggage that even Southwest would charge a fee. “Friends with Benefits” takes this perspective as two people who seemingly have everything they could possibly want including looks, money, jobs, and confidence complain dating is just so darn difficult that they'd rather just have sex no strings attached.

Mila Kunis Helps In Rescuing Man's Life At Her LA home
Mila Kunis: 'I Don't Send Naked Photos'
"Super" is Super.
A lot of folks probably haven't heard of James Gunn's Indie film “Super”. “Super” follows Rainn Wilson's Frank, A well meaning but weird (and he knows it) fellah whose wife, played by Liv Tyler, leaves him for a drug dealer played by Kevin Bacon.
After a vision of God and his friendly tentacle helpers cut Frank's head open and touch his brain with apparently devout power, he decides to become a superhero, and we're off to the races.
Superhero Frank is a very binary character. Whether you've killed, or cut in line, or dealt drugs, you're getting the same punishment: a pipe wrench to the sk...
