Movie Review
As my paper-thin Top 10 Best Fourth Movies in a Franchise list from last year proves, the fourth time is almost never a charm. Such is the case here. (courtesy KTKA-49) “Shrek Forever After” is the fourth film in the popular DreamWorks animated franchise, and the first one to be screened in 3D. Since we’re […]

What does it say about me that I can view a 90-minute movie about three people surgically joined ass-to-mouth called “The Human Centipede” and not think it completely over the top? Actually, it says quite a lot about some of the old-fashioned horror techniques of Dutch writer/director Tom Six that a movie with that premise […]

Today we have a print review from Trevan and a video review from Eric that both basically say the same thing: The Russell Crowe-led “Robin Hood” is a bit of a disappointment. That said, we also have a difference of opinion when it comes to a recommendation. That’s why it’s important to read/watch the actual […]

The Robin Hood legend has been a staple of Hollywood cinema since Douglas Fairbanks slapped on a pair of tights and pranced around a backlot Sherwood Forest in 1922. Since then, Errol Flynn, a Disney cartoon fox, Kevin Costner, and Cary Elwes have all played the role, each with their own take, but the core […]

Michael Bay is the producer that brought us remakes of “Friday the 13th” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (spun off into “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning”). He’s a smart businessman because horror is a profitable genre, made especially more profitable when a recognizable icon like Jason or Leatherface is attached to it. So it’s only […]

“The Losers,” the latest from Sylvain White (director of “Stomp The Yard”) is an excellent example of not judging a movie by its trailer. In 90-second form, “The Losers” looks like a rapid-fire, self-aware action/comedy with a pointed soundtrack and likable ensemble. In reality, “The Losers” is painfully unremarkable, completely by-the-numbers sleeper that’s only remotely […]

In the new 1970s-set rock biopic “The Runaways,” Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning tap into major reservoirs of their own angst from being thrust into the spotlight at an early age. And it’s eerily effective. Respectively, as 16-year old leather-clad guitarist Joan Jett and 15-year old Bowie-obsessed lead singer Cherie Curie, they project just the […]

Click here to see my on-camera review on KTKA-49 with clips from the film. Steve Carell and Tina Fey, two of the most consistently funny people working in TV and movies today, star as a suburban married couple who spend one eventful night out on the town in Manhattan in “Date Night.” The premise itself […]

Aside from the fact that “How to Train Your Dragon” includes Vikings and dragons, it’s very similar to a lot of the teenage comedies Hollywood has put out over the years. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) is your typical Ugly Duckling character. Although the term “nerd” is never uttered, it is fair to say if the Vikings […]

What makes a good erotic thriller? The simplest method I’ve found is what I call “the giggle test.” If either or both the dramatic and sexually-charged scenes of a movie make you giggle (or groan), it fails the test. An erotic thriller that makes you guffaw uncontrollably may become a cult classic (see Showgirls), but […]

To check out my 1-minute video review of “Repo Men” with clips, check out the KTKA-49 website here. Remy (Jude Law) is a family man who lives a double life. He drives his son to school and then it’s off to work where he repossesses organs from people who haven’t kept up with their payments. […]

Director Paul Greengrass and ever-reliable leading man Matt Damon team for a third time in “Green Zone,” an action-heavy, revisionist political thriller that takes place in Baghdad shortly after the U.S. invasion into Iraq. And while detractors will be quick to make the comparison to the duo’s previous outings together (the two previous chapters of […]

To show you that we care for quality review content over quality of production, we present the worst-looking webcam review ever. The audio is fine (save for a couple microphone pops here and there), the lighting was fine, but the frame rate sucks, so there’s lots of blur and it’s grainy as hell. Again, we […]
