R.I.P.D. Review

R.I.P.D. Review

RYAN: R.I.P.D. stands for Rest in Peace Department and it stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges in a sort of fantasy, Men in Black meets Beetlejuice meets buddy cop comedy.  And it’s not that entertaining or even comedic. ERIN: I couldn’t tell from the trailer whether it would stink or be great and I’m sorry ..

Red 2 Review

Red 2 Review

RYAN: This is the sequel to Red and the whole cast is back – Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary Louise Parker and then some new faces.  I thought the first one was fun, a lil cheesy, and this one is certainly the same but I’m not feeling it as much this time. BRAD: ..

The Lone Ranger Review

The Lone Ranger Review

RYAN: The new Disney big screen adaptation of The Lone Ranger stars Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the titular ranger.  I was leery of J. Depp in this casting and rightly so because he is once again serving up the same character shtick as we’ve seen him do with Jack Sparrow, Willy ..

The Heat Review

The Heat Review

RYAN: I love how a good movie makes you feel more vibrant when you leave the theater. No matter what’s going on in your life, when the escapism works in a good movie, it’s like good therapy.  KIM: And man, was this good therapy!  RYAN: It stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, directed by Paul ..

White House Down Review

White House Down Review

RYAN: I’m happy to be joined by my pal, Nick Mason, for this review.  You love action movies so I thought this one appropriate.  White House Down stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx – both who know how to garner big box office in a blockbuster.   NICK: They do have a good track record for ..

World War Z Review

World War Z Review

RYAN: This is the new zombie summer blockbuster starring Brad Pitt and I like him.  The buzz has been so mixed around this film because it has notoriously had production problems.  Expectations have been lowered, budgets have gone up; reshoots, etc… but I liked it.  I kept waiting throughout the film to decide it was ..

Fast & Furious 6 Review

Fast & Furious 6 Review

RYAN: I never saw any of the previous films in this franchise and this being my first, with buzz it’s one of the better, I’m glad I evaded the previous ones.  It’s fine but I’m not totally convinced.  KIM: I, on the other hand, have seen all the movies in the franchise and while they ..

Star Trek Into Darkness Review

Star Trek Into Darkness Review

RYAN: This is the sequel in the rebooted Star Trek franchise, directed by JJ Abrams, and I really liked them both! I’m not a big Star Trek fan; never saw the TV show or the original Shatner movies; but, this movie is cool.  Even just the first scene gave me the chills!  If I wasn’t ..

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review

RYAN: G.I. Joe: Retaliation is the sequel starring Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis.  I did not see the first one and I didn’t care to see this one, but you know… it’s my job. CHUCK: (laughs) It is your job.  You kinda need to see the movies even when you don’t want to. ..

Olympus Has Fallen Review

Olympus Has Fallen Review

RYAN: I wasn’t too jazzed going in to see this film, aside from the fact that I enjoy some of the stars, primarily one Aaron Eckhart, who is truly an underrated actor.  CAROLINE:How was he in this? RYAN: He’s great. But it’s not his movie as much as it’s Gerard Butler’s.  Gerry plays the secret ..

Jack the Giant Slayer Review

Jack the Giant Slayer Review

RYAN: I love Ewan McGregor and fairy tales so that they come together in Jack the Giant Slayer is all good news. CAROLINE: How was the movie?  I doubt I will ever see it.  RYAN: Better than expected. It’s a little wonky, timing-wise, since Oz opens next week and this one had a similar budget.  ..

Snitch Review

Snitch Review

  RYAN: I like Dwayne Johnson, “The Rock.” I follow him on Twitter.  I like him in all of his family films and I think he’s really cute and he’s returned to the sort-of action genre with Snitch and yeah… not so much. KIM: I am also a fan of his.  As a former wrestler, ..
