Hoooo boy! It would seem the Transformers sequel, what seemed to be a surefire summer blockbuster, is now headed full steam ahead for ignominy and a Golden Raspberry award. As of this writing and today’s release, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” stands at 22% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.com. And the reviews are brutal. Here’s a sample of what some notable critics are saying about Michael Bay’s Autobots vs. Decepticons movie. A great grinding garbage disposal of a movie, “Transformers: Revenge …

Damn you Stephen Sommers. George Lucas has already sullied my childhood with the pooptastic “Star Wars” prequels, and now you come a long and fail miserably at bringing Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, Cobra Commando and Destro to the big screen. How do I know this? Easy, because this second trailer you’ve assembled for “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” is just like the first – hollow, effects-laden, silly and ridiculous – and leaves me with zero desire or anticipation …
So, according to the Mayans, the poop is going to hit the fan for good on December 21, 2012 and everybody on Earth is going to get flushed down the giant doomsday toilet via some terrible catastrophe. What the Mayans didn’t predict is that director Roland Emmerich would get a second shot at a punch-the-earth-in-the-soft-parts movie after his “The Day After Tomorrow” was a critical and box office failure in 2004. No offense to Emmerich, but he hasn’t made anything …
I won’t lie. It’s hard for me to give “The Proposal,” the new romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, a bad review. In fact, it’s not even hard – it’s impossible. We’re not talking Oscars here, by any means, but I think thus far the movie is getting a raw deal from some cantankerous critics. As of this writing, the movie sits at 53% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.com, but I think anyone giving a bad review is a …
20 years ago on June 16th, I was preparing to enter my sophmore year of high school, had a mullet that made the ladies swoon and was rocking out in acid-washed tight jeans to Winger, Ratt and Bobby Brown. Yes, Bobby Brown. Fresh off his “Every Little Step” and “My Prerogative” chart-topping success, the future Mr. Whitney Houston would dress in super fruity spandex and don the late 80s trademark off-center aphro for the “On Our Own” music video, the …
These are just estimates, but it appears “The Hangover” ($33,415,000) has repeated as box office champ, with “Up” ($30,515,000) coming in a strong second, in virtual spitting distance of the “surprise” R-rated comedy. John Travolta and Denzel came in third with “The Taking of Pelham 123” ($25,000,000), and the top five was rounded out by “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” ($9,600,000) and “Land of the Lost” ($9,153,000). Paramount Pictures must be thrilled their Eddie Murphy-headlined “Imagine That” …
When you promote a film with the tagline “from the director of Wild Hogs,” what does the say about the intelligence level of our society? I’ll tell you what it says, it makes crystal clear that we are on the bullet train to Armageddon. At any rate, “Old Dogs” has all sorts of suck written on it, from top-to-bottom and from side-to-side. With that said, getting whacked in the balls is always funny, so enjoy that part of this trailer for “Old …
Let me be clear: “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger is one of my most favorite books. Reading it was emotional journey and the novel was a perfect blend of adventure and love, sprinkled with literary honesty and truthfulness. It wasn’t a bubble-gum, Nicholas Sparks-drugstore-paperback-romance and that’s what made it extraordinary. But wow, this trailer makes “The Time Traveler’s Wife” look like the sequel to “A Walk to Remember.” I realize it’s just a preview and this could simply …
