Corporate Animals movie review: work is hell
Corporate culture gets a delightfully twisted kick in the ass when a “team-building retreat” turns disastrous. As horror vies with comedy, the pitch(black)-perfect cast gets the balance just right.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie review: a brief look at the long and the shorts of it
Sweet, subversive, and absolutely hilarious, at once a snarky superhero sendup and an unironically joyful celebration of friendship and imagination.
Christmas with the Coopers (aka Love the Coopers) movie review: familial torture
Glossy Hollywood automatons sleepwalk through family dynamics full of forced quirkiness, excruciating cuteness, and phony emotion. Absolutely cringeworthy.
Vacation movie review: stay home

fun stuff from FlickFilosopher stats week of Jun 15-21 2013
Actual unretouched phrases that people plugged into search engines this week that led them to this site (with some commentary from me)…
The Hangover Part III review: get pissed
It’s like they realized they never should have made a sequel, so for Part III, they didn’t even bother to make a Hangover movie at all…

trailer break: ‘Cedar Rapids’
If you see one Ed Helms movie this year, it probably should be this one…
