The Vow (review)
So it turns out that perhaps the most awesome thing ever to happen to sappy shitty romantic flicks is brain damage. It makes sense! These movies are already brain-dead 95 percent of time anyway…

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (review)
Crams three times the hoo-hah of the first film into a 3D CGI theme-park ride, yet reduces itself to one-third the fun…
Man on a Ledge (review)
Well. Rarely has a movie been so accurately named. Man on a Ledge is very much about a man on a ledge. And not much more…
The Sitter (review)
I’m starting to wonder, truly and sincerely, if David Gordon Green is suffering from one of those brain tumors that radically alters one’s personality…
Pariah (review)
Writer-director Dee Rees, in an assured feature debut, expands on her award-winning 2007 short of the same name to tell a story all but ignored in pop culture: the coming out of a black teen lesbian.
Chronicle (review)
The superhero origin story we have become so very familiar with in its purest form, stripped of all the pulp and all the camp that has accreted around the genre.

There is a lot of real-life brutal shit on display, intense facing-your-mortality stuff, and it is anything but pretty…
Underworld: Awakening (review)
The fanboy-wank-material franchise continues! Kate Beckinsale runs around a dank, rainy, gothy, first-person-shooter generic urban landscape. And the blood and brainmatter splatters out at you in 3D! Please to have a cinemagasm!

Strips away the bullshit to the bare, spare truth: what pop culture typically feeds us as “ordinary” male sexuality is probably worthy of a psychiatric diagnosis.
