Hold up your hands. Now bend your hands back a little bit and curl your fingers. Then use this hand position to hit someone in the face, with the bottom part of your palm. That is what I thought Southpaw was before this movie. Southpaw didn’t actually teach me what a Southpaw was, I had …

Dope
Sometimes when I like to pretend that I am cool, I use words like Dope and Chill. I will admit, when I first saw the screening listing for Dope, I honestly got it confused with the Straight Outta Compton movie coming out, figuring they renamed it for some reason. (How White am I? I spelled …

Taken 3
Fineeee. I will fucking write this review. Sometimes it is hard to just get the passion or desire to write a review, even if it has been sitting blank on your draft board for weeks. Weeks! Sometimes the only decision you have made is the rating and pictures but no idea what to talk about …

Black Nativity
Man, movies that didn’t come out last Fall/Winter are finally hitting the DVD Shelves. Last week was Justin Bieber’s Believe, which came to theaters on Christmas. This week, it is Black Nativity, which came to theaters for Thanksgiving! An even longer wait, those assholes. And for what? Nothing. Bah humbug. Just give me my Christmas …

Out Of The Furnace
Out of the Furnace has the honor of being the only movie coming out this week, in a month that is typically packed to the brim with movies to take advantage of those holiday sales. It also has the honor of making me think of the Meatloaf song, “Out of the Frying Pan,” so much that whenever I …

The Butler
The full title of this movie, for legal reasons, is Lee Daniels’ The Butler, but eh, technicalities. This film is supposed to be a biographical film of Eugene Allen, a butler who served in The White House for 34 years until he retired in 1984. I’d say your best possible experience with this movie would be …

Pawn
Whew, this might be one of the longer reviews I have put off writing. After I saw Pawn, I meant to write it later that night. Then I probably wandered off and fell into a movie coma. Then I kept watching more and more movies, so although Pawn was on my list to write I …

The Last Stand
The Arnold is back! Alright, maybe he hasn’t really gone anywhere. The Govenator was still taking part in The Expendables franchise at least, but with The Last Stand he is officially back in the lead role. Just don’t confuse it with the X-Men movie of the same name. Although Phoenix could solve this problem in an …

Repo Men
I definitively had Repo Men on the shelf for over a year before finally watching it. Why? Because I thought the plot would be obvious. I thought it would be lame action. I also knew that the Repo! The Genetic Opera had also existed, even though I hadn’t seen it yet. Just didn’t like two …

The Experiment
Oooh. What is that? Another surprise movie for me. Before last night I had no idea there was ever a movie based off of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Please read about it. There is a good chance you have heard of it before, but just might not remember it. But yeah! The Experiment. A modern …
