'Iron Man 3' Review: Our Super Hero Is Back & He's Better Than Ever

May 3rd, 2013 7:32am EDT
Iron Man 3
Mr. Iron Man needs a Xanax. He gets panic attacks, how cool is that?

Our super hero has major angst and that's what makes him so lovable and so very human.  That, and of course Robert Downey Jr., who once again brings the brilliant, brash, billionaire, inventor, Tony Stark aka Iron Man to life on the big screen and he absolutely KILLS it!

What makes "Iron Man 3" so unique is that it's not only the culmination of the first two films, but it's also a follow-up to 'Marvel's "The Avengers" - making it a sequel to two different movies.

In ''The Avengers," Stark faced a world-changing event, t...

'Pain And Gain' Review: Michael Bay Gives Us Lots Of Pain, Not So Much Gain

April 26th, 2013 1:26pm EDT
'Pain And Gain
I am so not a Michael Bay fan.  I find everything he does to be way over the top.  Bay doesn't seem to trust his story or his characters and his latest film, 'Pain and Gain' is no exception.

'Pain And Gain' is the true story of Miami's Sun Gym gang, which was made up of three super violent, super inept, body builders, who decide the best way to get rich quick, is to kidnap millionaires and milk them out of their fortune. Now why haven't I thought of that?

It's the 90's and the three muscle bound jerks are Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg), born again Jesus coke freak, Paul Doyle (Dwayne Johnson...

Moon
With the space dud and copycat flick "Oblivion" hitting theaters this weekend it seems a perfect time to go back to the film it borrowed from most.  Only instead of a weak one and a half stars it’s five-star stuff...Welcome to Forgotten Friday Flick!  Not going back too far, we’re heading to 2009 for a little film that said so much.  An unusual outer space tale that focused much more on the human condition and less on mindless space spectacle.  Featuring a career making performance and announcing the arrival of a new and unique voice from the filmmaking front lines we’re gladly heading to.....

Review 'Oblivion': An Engrossing Sci-Fi Thriller That Won't Leave You Oblivious

April 19th, 2013 7:27am EDT
Oblivion
After not seeing a movie for almost three weeks, Two Jews On Film are back and once again and disagreeing.

Our first film, since leaving the beach for the mountains, is 'Oblivion' directed by Joseph Kosinski, based on his unpublished graphic novel.   

This sci-fi visually spectacular action movie stars Tom Cruise as Jack Harper, a super pilot, super lover and all round 'super guy.'

The year is 2077 and life on Earth is non-existent. Sixty years ago some really nasty aliens, known as the Scavengers, destroyed our moon - no moon plus no water and no food equates to: not a good thing at al...

CD Review: The Bronx - 'The Bronx (IV)'

April 16th, 2013 12:45am EDT
The Bronx
After taking a few years off to sow their wild oats as their mariachi band alter ego Mariachi El Bronx, hardcore punkers The Bronx are back with The Bronx (IV), their supposed return to form. The Bronx (IV) blazes out of the gates with opening salvo “The Unholy Land,” a massive cut replete with killer hooks and scorching riffs, though that initial luster wears off by the next track “Along for the Ride,” which falls flat on the heels of such a sweet opener. Now, there are good tracks throughout The Bronx (IV), but the unfortunately thing is that they are all too far and too few, nestled with...

CD Review: Clutch - 'Earth Rocker'

April 15th, 2013 9:18pm EDT
Clutch
If you can count on anything in the ever-changing music industry, you can count on the fact that Clutch is going to be Clutch, and any time they release a new album, you know this band is going to sit back and do their own thing. This is a trend that continues for sure on the bands tenth studio album Earth Rocker, which proves that the Southern rockers have plenty left in the tank. For the most part, the album is what you’d expect from the stoner rock vets, one that fires off one ripping outing after another (“Mr. Freedom,” “Cyborg Bette”). With Earth Rocker serving as Clutch’s first album ...
