The Predator movie review: pointless retro junk

Thu, Sep 13, 2018
20 comments

Garbage. A bad excuse for a movie, even for the pulpy disposable popcorn nonsense it wants to be. Incoherent and illogical, cheap and shoddy. Wannabe sci-fi action horror that can’t pull off any of it.

Office Christmas Party movie review: messtivities

Tue, Dec 13, 2016

Hangover lite, with even more tepid notions of what constitutes debauchery, plus a true dedication to strained contrivance.

X-Men: Apocalypse movie review: everyone knows the third movie is always the worst

Thu, May 19, 2016

About precisely nothing other than pure pulp comic-book soap-opera rigmarole, overshadowed by clichés, implausibilities, and missed opportunities.

I Don’t Know How She Does It (review)

Fri, Sep 16, 2011
no comments yet

It’s pretty fucking clear how Sarah Jessica Parker’s Kate Reddy does it. How she manages to juggle a high-powered career, two demanding moppets, and a marriage: She’s got a buttload of dough.
