Last night, I got an early look at “The Dictator,” the new film from “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen. I went into the film feeling like I was taking one for the team, but I came out of it pleasantly surprised by what I’d seen. Here’s an excerpt from my review: I admit it, I [...]

“The Dictator” is a lot better than I thought it would be.

Some thoughts on “The Walking Dead” video game…
May 2nd, 2012 · No Comments
It’s been a while since I reviewed a video game, but the arrival of “The Walking Dead” game offered me a great opportunity to flex those muscles again. It’s a really fun game, though it feels less like a traditional “game” and more like an animated, choose-your-own-adventure story set within The Walking Dead comic book’s [...]
My review of “The Avengers” (a.k.a. Yes, it’s as good as everyone says it is, and it might actually be better.)

I reviewed “The Avengers” for IFC, and found — to my great surprise — that the film somehow manages to be even better than all of the hype. You can read an excerpt from my review below, but if you’re concerned about having anything spoiled, don’t worry. I made sure not to include any plot [...]
I reviewed Jason Statham’s new film “Safe” and was reminded that Jason Statham continues to be awesome.

So, yeah… I reviewed “Safe” and while it wasn’t an AMAZING film, it was a nice reminder that Jason Statham really is this generation’s version of Chuck Norris, Jeane-Claude Van Damme, and every other action hero who starred in dozens of films that were basically the same, but were still awesome because they featured a [...]
Lockout, I find your lack of sci-fi awesomeness… disturbing.
April 13th, 2012 · No Comments
I reviewed the new sci-fi film “Lockout” for Digital Trends, and I think this just might be the most negative review of a film I’ve ever authored. I really, really didn’t like this movie, and that’s a shame, because I wanted to like it so darn much. I mean, come on — it’s a movie [...]
My review of “Mirror Mirror” (a.k.a. “It’s better than the trailers. I promise.”)
March 30th, 2012 · No Comments
“Mirror Mirror” premieres in theaters today, and as you might have already seen me mention online, it’s far better than the trailers make it seem. Much like “John Carter,” Tarsem Singh’s new film is actually a very fun, family-friendly movie that impressed the heck out of me with its balance of all-ages adventure elements and [...]
“The FP” is ambitiously bad… but I sort of love it.
March 16th, 2012 · No Comments
You have to hand it to the Trost brothers, directors of the bizarre, genre-defying film “The FP.” They set out to make the best damn movie about trailer-park gangs fighting for supremacy via an arcade dancing game that has ever been made, and that’s exactly what they did. The first 12 minutes of the film [...]
