They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result each time. I’m not exactly sure who “they” are, but perhaps it’s time they sat down Universal and had a bit of a chat. According to Bloody Disgusting, Universal is looking to reboot one of […]

>Ah, the Golden Raspberry Awards. In this climate of near-constant award ceremonies and deafening self-congratulation in Hollywood, it’s nice to know that there is a body out there keeping an eye on the losers. The nominations for the 31st Razzies – recognising the worst in the past 12 months of cinema – have been unveiled, […]

Dinner For Schmucks – Starring Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Jemaine Clement. Directed by Jay Roach. Rated M. Originally published October 1, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. I’m sure Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are among the nicest, funniest guests one could ever invite over for dinner. That being said, should anyone ever be unfortunate enough […]

The Last Airbender – Starring Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz and Dev Patel. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Rated PG. Originally published September 17, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. Stage One: Denial. To be an M. Night Shyamalan fan is to be an M. Night Shyamalan apologist. I understand why the blogger generation has turned him into […]

Killers – Starring Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl and Tom Selleck. Directed by Robert Luketic. Rated M. Originally published July 28, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. Killers is what I like to call a ‘perspective’ film. Sometimes in this profession, it’s easy to get into the habit of nitpicking truly great films (such as Toy Story 3 […]

Sex and the City 2 – Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis. Directed by Michael Patrick King. Rated MA. Originally published June 1, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. As my girlfriend/sisters/female acquaintances/random ladies regularly inform me, Sex and the City is one of the greatest television shows of all time. And […]

Resident Evil: Afterlife – Starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Let’s get this out of the way quickly, shall we? Resident Evil: Afterlife – the fourth film of the RE saga – is boring, but you probably already knew that. The primary source […]

Eat Pray Love – Starring Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins. Directed by Ryan Murphy. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Eat Pray Love is both the title of Ryan Murphy’s latest film, and a succinct synopsis of its entire contents. That trio of verbs represent the depth of our lead character (she will indeed […]

The Expendables – Starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li. Directed by Sylvester Stallone. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. You’re certain to walk away from The Expendables with a higher testosterone count than when you walked in, but it’ll cost you a hefty dose of brain cells. Sylvester Stallone’s latest undoes the goodwill earned […]

August 4, 2010 1 Comment
Step Up 3-D. Staring Rick Malambri, Adam Sevani and Sharni Vinson. Directed by Jon Chu. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Step Up 3-D is probably the Citizen Kane of the street-dance movie genre, but if we were to rank it on the full cinematic spectrum, it would likely sit on the wrong side of From […]

Tooth Fairy – Starring Dwayne Johnson, Stephen Merchant and Julie Andrews. Directed by Michael Lembeck. Rated G. Originally published January 14, 2010. By Simon Miraudo. To call Tooth Fairy a bad film is like calling star Dwayne Johnson a big guy. Both statements are accurate, but neither actually conveys the degree to which they are […]
