COMEDY
RYAN: This is the sequel to The Best Man and it’s the first movie I’ve ever seen that made be feel a little bitter toward movies because I normally go along for the ride in any context of a movie but this one had me rolling my eyes a lot. It tries to be everything at ..
COMEDY
RYAN: I liked this better than the first one because I actually liked this one. The first one not so much. Coming off The Avengers, I’m jiving more with this character. Part of what I disliked so much in the first one – muddled with mythology, this one is gets to the plot a lot faster. And ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the new comedy starring four Hollywood A-listers past their prime but certainly working all of their charms which this movie milks entirely. Pre-judging it, I was calling it The Hangover for old people and that’s exactly what it is only better. The Hangover movies were all so raunchy and cheesy. ERIN: I was just thinking ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the latest film from writer/director Nicole Holofcener starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini. It’s a rom com and I’m a fan of this auteur and this is my favorite of her films so far. It’s the closest I could ever personally identify with her characters, because I’m a divorced single mother with ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This is the directorial debut of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He also wrote and stars in Don Jon and I am super impressed by him. It might not have the heft of a Clint Eastwood or Ben Affleck film, but it is super funny, real and full of life and energy. CARRIE: Very well done and ..
COMEDY
RYAN: This film was written by the same guys who did (500) Days of Summer and it’s consistent in that they write such fully realized, natural relationships. The best thing about this strong dramedy is the relationships. TIMOTHY: When it first started, I was terrified we were about to watch another American Pie. I was ..
COMEDY
RYAN: We’re the Millers is a great, new comedy starring Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. I really like Jason in this leading role and I kinda loved this movie. ERIN: I have to agree. I was not expecting much at all and I am pleasantly surprised. RYAN: It’s laugh out loud funny. It’s very R-rated, ..
ACTION
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 ..
ACTION
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: ..
COMEDY
RYAN: I’m glad to have my pal Eric Wightman join me for this review. I really enjoy talkin’ movies with him and this movie is from the studio that brought us Juno and Little Miss Sunshine. I loved it. It’s a quintessential dramedy, super funny with touching drama. ERIC: It’s the perfect, anti-Summer movie. It’s ..
ACTION
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 ..
ACTION
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 ..
