No doubt about it Project X will go viral to the teen/twenties and drive up the box office into the $40 million plus range. Crammed with sight gags, crude language, dangerous stunts, bare breasts, sexual romps, drunken fights, drugged-out stupors, a badass little person that delivers some bruising groin shots and more, this film doesn’t hold back a thing.  Project X even comes with a warning to parents and police.  The only reason I’m also recommending this to adults, self-defense. The plot of Project X could have been written by most ...

  You don’t have to be a teen/twenties to enjoy Todd & The Book Of Pure Evil a wild blood festival, but that’s the mighty demographic that will eat this awesome series up.  Pushing all the modern social lifestyle buttons that amps up today’s High School crowd the 13 episode series has finally arrived on DVD.  Adults who like horror/comedy and don’t get grossed out too easily should have a good time with it; I know I did. Todd & The Book Of Pure Evil focuses on four teens, Todd Smith (Alex House), Jenny Kolinsky (Maggie ...

  The zany and fun Tower Heist has entered the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, Blu-ray, DVD market and its well worth the wait.  After seeing the film on the theater big screen I hoped I would get a chance to check it out with me in control.  I am happy to say, Tower Heist looses none of its comedic charm, energy and production value.  Plus, the ample bonus features are an amenity with interesting and amusing added entertainment. Tower Heist centers on Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) manager of a posh New York City residence building that house the affluent ...

    Those who are normally shouting T.G.I.F. might be saving their enthusiasm for T.G.I.S. That’s right everyone, Oscar Sunday is upon us this weekend.  Although the 84th Academy Awards are arriving a tad early this year, I will not mind swapping my usual Sunday nominee (Mitt Romney) with Rooney Mara (Best Actress in a Leading Role; The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).   For the godfather of Oscars, Best Picture, 6 out of 9 of this year’s nominations are actually adaptions from novels (Can you hear the bookworms across America ...

  They’re not actors, directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh did not want them to be.  The main characters in the movie Act of Valor are real Navy SEALs and they perform like one of the best freedom fighter units that the United States could ever produce.  The film does more than entertain; it gives Americans a chance to see what the armed forces are doing to protect their freedom up close and personal. The film puts the audience inside one of the most amazing military units in the world. The Navy SEALs are a specially trained military outfit ...

  With not a lot of wacky romance films in theaters Wanderlust may be the right ticket for you and your date.  Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it’s still passable, especially if you aren’t critical of stories that are a bit goofier than the ordinary. The script gets obsessive in a brazen kind of way with some scenes even kicking it up a notch.  But, if it’s an icebreaker you want or just a way to add time to a first date, then you can do worse than Wanderlust. George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) have hit the bottom ...

    Ever wake up in a cold sweat, trying to decipher dream from reality? That’s the story of Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs, “Harry Potter,” “Brotherhood”), the protagonist in NBC’s gripping new drama, “Awake.”  Producers Howard Gordon and Kyle Killen, masterminds behind such hit series as “Lost” and “24,” believe that the duality of the show will keep audiences at bay “so that each time the pendulum swings” we’ll feel shocked as the plot’s sands shift beneath our feet.   In “Awake,” detective ...

  Now out on DVD/Blu-ray a gut wrenching film called The Son of No One starring Channing Tatum, Al Pacino and up and coming star Jake Cherry.  The movie takes on a different look than when it was released in the movie theatre and that’s for the better.  Being on DVD has it’s advantages in that I was able to switch on the subtitles during the more aggressive parts to catch all the dialog and rewinding helps to keep the many characters in order. The film opens in a depressed tenement section of Queens New York with a startling film shot ...

  It’s a lot of fun, but This Means War spins out of control at times and the romance gets sidetracked for some awesome spy thrills. I like the acting by the trio of leads and directing by McG isn’t too bad either.  If you are woman looking for a romantic night out however, your date better be a macho man. The story goes pretty much like this; Tuck (Tom Hardy) and FDR (Chris Pine) are a couple of CIA operatives who are just coming off a case they botched while killing the brother of a international hit man Heinrich (Til Schweiger).  ...

  It seems like ages since a movie featuring a good cunning tale unraveled on the big screen and I’m happy to say Thin Ice fits the bill.  A smartly written well-acted story with so many twists and turns I found myself wondering, “How did I not see that coming”?  It’s a deceiving, manipulative and funny film played out in a quick tempo that kept me spellbound throughout. The story centers on Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to increase his business and escape from the Wisconsin snow. A ...
