Trailer Tuesday: Taken 2 and Monsters University

     It's Tuesday again, so it's time to talk about all the new trailers, and today we have some very exciting prospects. A sequel has been announced for Liam Neeson's heart-pounding action-romp Taken, and a new trailer has been released for the film. Pixar has also announced their next project, which will be Monsters University. I talk about both new previews for the upcoming films after the jump.

Monday Muse: Boy Wonder

     Boy Wonder is a low-budget independent film, that debuted at film fests and comic cons across the United States, so it is certainly possible many of you may have missed it. I believe the film is available on Netflix Instant as well as at select Red Box stands, so if you haven't seen it I'd recommend watching it before reading this post, as I will be talking about the movie in it's entirety. The film is a dark psychological thriller much in the vein of Fight Club, as it has story that drastically changes once you figure out the perspective of the film. I'll delve into some of the more evasive aspects of the film after the jump. Spoilers below, beware!

Daybreakers Review

     Daybreakers is a film that arrived in the mess of the post-Twilight vampire craze, along with Underworld, Cirque du Freak: Vampire's Assistant, and a few various other films attempting to suck the life force out of the vampire genre. Are the fangs of this film sharper than those among it? I delve into the dark depths of Daybreakers after the jump.

Enthused Thursday: Django Unchained

     It's Enthused Thursday, and today I'm excited about Django Unchained. Quentin Tarantino recently revealed his newest project due out around Christmas time, and the director looks to give his unique vision on another era in time, much like Inglorious Basterds. I give my thoughts on the new film, right after the jump.

The Avengers Review

     After multiple films, all the heroes have risen, and it's time for the main event. Marvel took a big risk assembling the Earth's mightiest superheroes, betting that all aspects would come together and multiple franchises would meld. While all films were largely successful on their own, the question becomes, can the big screen handle this many heroes in the spotlight once? I delve into the answer after the jump.

Trailer Tuesday: Pitch Perfect and Sinister

     Trailer Tuesday has rolled around once again (all too unfortunately missing the new Twilight trailer debuting tomorrow, what a shame). Today I will be talking about two drastically different trailers, one for the new a capella comedy Pitch Perfect, and another for the upcoming horror film Sinister, which pairs up the producer of both Insidious and Paranormal Activity, with the writer/director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I give my thoughts on both after the jump.

Monday Muse: Cabin In the Woods

This year's Cabin in the Woods turned the horror genre upside down, and was able to do so in a unique and extremely entertaining way. The film parodied the genre's seemingly inability to escape it's cliches, and poses the question of whether they are the downfall of the genre, or all that keeps it together. I unravel the twists and turns of the film, all after the jump. Do beware however, a new viewer's worst fear resides below the jump, spoilers!

Safe House Review

The recent film Safe House saw Denzel Washington return to a formula he has thrived in for some time, the action-thriller. It also gambled on rom-com veteran Ryan Reynolds' venture into new territory. The large question here is, does Safe House make for a good action flick? I'll break down the film after the jump.

Enthused Thursday: Gangster Squad

     As the summer blockbuster season will be dying down in September, Gangster Squad will be debuting with it's star studded cast, and I think it's certainly something to look forward to. Boasting a very similar premise to The Untouchables, I think the timing for the film is on point, as it's been quite a bit since we've had a good gangster flick. I'll talk about all the reasons I'm getting locked and loaded for Gangster Squad after the jump.

Trailer Tuesday: Wreck-It Ralph & The Watch

     It's Trailer Tuesday again! Luckily this week we have a couple new exciting trailers to talk about. Today I'll be talking about the new alien-comedy The Watch, as well as Disney's new 8 Bit influenced film, Wreck-It Ralph, all after the jump.

Monday Muse: Inception

     The ending of Christopher Nolan's mind-bending Inception left many viewers in the audience yearning for more, searching for what truly happened at the end of the movie. While there certainly is no solid explanation or definitive closing to the film, there are a few possibilities, which will be elaborated on all after the jump. Discussing the end of the film does bring out some rather large spoilers, so be aware.

Men In Black III Review

     After ten years of time among the stars , the crazed, out-of-this world alien agency is back, in time that is. In the most recent exploits of our spiffy heroes, Agent J (Will Smith) must go back to 1969 in order to bring Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) back into existence, and happens to run into the old-timey version of K, played by Josh Brolin. Full review after the jump.

Enthused Thursday: Cosmopolis

     Yes, it's Thursday again, the time when I talk about new and upcoming projects that I'm excited for, and today it's Cosmopolis with Robert Pattinson. Read the full article after the jump.  

Cedar Rapids Review

     Cedar Rapids is a rather underrated and mildly unheard of comedy that came out in 2011, under the radar of most. The film stars Ed Helms as Tim Lippe, a small town insurance salesman who must break out of his shell in order to represent his tiny office at the annual insurance convention office that takes place in, you guessed it, Cedar Rapids. Full review after the jump.

Trailer Tuesday: The Bourne Legacy, Premium Rush, and The Babymakers

     In addition to Monday Muse and Enthused Thursday, I will also be sharing my opinions about all the newly released trailers that have now reached the public eye. Today I'm talking about the controversial new Bourne Legacy, Joseph Gordon Levitt's new pedal-powered project Premium Rush, and a new comedy about robbing a different kind of bank in The Babymakers, all after the jump.

Snow White & the Huntsman Review

     For starters, this isn't the same Snow White you knew when you were little lads and lassies. The film is scary and dark, and ultimately holds back nothing in it's rendition of a fairy tale that ultimately was fairly dark to begin with. So if you're looking for a fairy-tale-to-film adaption to take the kids to, the shiny and glistening Mirror Mirror is a better option. If you're a fan of the darker, more Grimm approach to the fairy tale however, keep on reading after the jump.
