Walk of Shame movie review: Slut Shaming, The Motion Picture

Tue, May 06, 2014
18 comments

If you don’t think it’s hilarious that a woman dressed for a night out would “naturally” be mistaken for a prostitute, there is nothing here for you.

Bad Neighbours (aka Neighbors) movie review: stubbing your brain

Sat, May 03, 2014

A mess not by accident but by design. It’s meant to be a ton of stuff thrown against the wall in the hope that some of it will momentarily distract you into involuntary laughter.

Knights of Badassdom rating: red light

Tue, Apr 29, 2014

Supernatural slasher haunts a live-action role-playing game. The cast is clearly having fun, but none of it rubs off on us.

Fri, Apr 25, 2014

The jokes are as creaky as the aching bunions and bad backs onscreen, but Emma Thompson and Pierce Brosnan are incandescent together.

The Other Woman review: sex and the infidelity

Wed, Apr 23, 2014
38 comments

We need an equivalent term to “Uncle Tom” for a woman — in this case, screenwriter Melissa Stack — who participates in Hollywood’s systematic hatred of women.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 review: black and white and web all over

Fri, Apr 18, 2014
131 comments

Suffers badly by comparison with the cogent, witty Avengers flicks. This feels like a campy Saturday-morning cartoon left over from the 1970s.

Jesus People review: Christian pop takes the softest of smacks

Fri, Apr 11, 2014

This too gentle mockumentary barely even takes aim at its easiest potential targets, but the appealing cast is game and manages a few cogent hits.

Rio 2 review: jungle feeble

Thu, Apr 03, 2014
35 comments

This is what passes for a children’s movie these days: a 1950s sitcom drawn in pretty tropical CGI colors with a few mostly forgettable songs tossed in.

Muppets Most Wanted review: that’ll do, frog

Wed, Mar 19, 2014

Kermit the Frog takes on his biggest challenge yet: dual roles. And truly puts the villain in vaudevillian.

The Muppets review: are we not men? we are weirdoes

Wed, Mar 19, 2014
3 comments

What is a Muppet? Is it something one is born? Is it something one chooses? Is it a state of mind? Is it a lifestyle?
