So I was browsing the Wikipedia and IMDb pages for Love & Other Drugs to jog my memory before writing this review, and was surprised at how much space is dedicated to the discussion of the nudity in this film. I don’t remember the nudity at all. Granted it’s been several weeks since we watched the movie, but I honestly have no memory of Anne Hathaway’s breasts or Jake Gyllenhaal’s butt. Of course, my college degree did require several life drawing classes (that’s where you draw nude models for two hours a day, twice a week for an entire semester), so naked bodies in movies rarely register for me.

The Losers (2010)

The Losers is a bit like The A-Team, only with a better cast and funnier jokes. It’s also a bit like every other action film ever made, full of almost every cliche in the book. Still, you could do a lot worse than this movie. Continue reading →

Finally, we are at the end… The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. This is my least favorite film in the series. Mostly because things have gotten very dark and aren’t that fun to watch, but also because this movie feels like it has five endings. Continue reading →

Compared to the rest of the films in this series, I’m not that into The Two Towers. Fellowship of the Ring is the fun beginning (I tend to favor the first movie in any series over the rest) and The Return of the King is the climactic conclusion. The Two Towers… this is a middle movie that serves as a bridge and not much else. Continue reading →

So this is where our Lord of the Rings reviews get a little weird. As you have no doubt have noticed, we have not reviewed the final film of The Hobbit series, The Battle of the Five Armies. This is due to the fact that it has not yet been released on DVD, but honestly I don’t care if I ever see it. Continue reading →

Any kid who grew up in the 1990s will no doubt have fond memories of the Looney Tunes. Thanks to the mega successful Space Jam, Bugs Bunny and friends had a sort of renaissance. The Looney Tunes were everywhere– on clothing, school supplies, television. Continue reading →

I know that I’ve professed my love for time travel stories before on this blog, but in case you forgot: I really, really love time travel movies. It’s definitely my favorite science fiction sub-genre. Continue reading →

The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

The Long Kiss Goodnight is essentially The Bourne Identity with a female protagonist. The first Bourne novel was released in 1980, and I have to wonder if screenwriter Shane Black was familiar with the book. Continue reading →

This movie could have been so good, but a number of baffling choices led to The Lone Ranger being a strange mess. That said, it’s still a lot of fun at times. It’s certainly not as bad as some claim. Continue reading →

Lockout (2012)

At this point in the blog I’m 30+ reviews behind what we’re currently watching. This isn’t usually a problem. Most of the movies we watch are memorable in some way, so I don’t have trouble recalling what I liked or disliked about them by the time I get around to writing a review. But every once in awhile I come across a movie like Lockout, something so generic that I can hardly remember who was in it, let alone plot details, setting, dialogue… This is really just a forgettable film no matter how you slice it.
