It's been 12 years since the Barbershop franchise has been relevant. It's safe to say that all of us thought the shop was closed for good. However, Hollywood has a way of bringing things back from the dead. Normally, I would give a list of attempts to revi...

REVIEW: If Parental Guidance is the Voice of Fartie Decker, Billy Crystal Needs to Use Some New Words

Posted by James Brown on Wednesday, December 26, 2012, In : 0.09% Cocktails

Parental Guidance

Directed By: Andy Fickman

Starring: Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, and Tom Everett Scott

It's the end of the holiday movie season, and I definitely have to say that we've been on a wild ride. We've seen manly hobbits, a mutilated bisexual Bond villain, balladeer Russell Crowe, and much more. This winter has certainly had its ups and downs, but it has been a good one overall. While I would like to close the holiday season on a high note, my hands are tied. I ...

REVIEW: Whether With a Feather Duster or the Jolly Molly, Hysteria Always Satisfies With Some Old School Sex Toys

Hysteria

Directed By: Tanya Wexler

Starring: Felicity Jones, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Jonathan Pryce, and Rupert Everett

They didn't believe germs existed and fostered situations in which they hurt their patients far m...

The Raven

Directed By: James McTeigue

Starring: John Cusack, Alice Eve, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Luke Evans, Kevin McNally, Pam Ferris, Sergej Trifunovic, Ian Virgo, and Sam Hazeldine

2012 supposedly marks the end of the world. Since I'm writing this review, I'm inclined to think otherwise. Hell, I'd argue that 2012 marks the year history will be rewritten. We've got Abraham Lincoln becoming a vampire hunter. We've got Snow White becoming an action hero. We've even got Edgar Allan Poe becoming...

REVIEW: ATM - Getting A Few Bucks Has Never Been So Deadly

ATM
SoberFilmChick

Directed By: David Brooks

Starring: Alice Eve, Josh Peck, and Brian Geraghty

I am always paranoid if I use an ATM at night. I have a fear that someone is going to sneak up behind me and rob me just as I’m keying in my code. The ATMs that require you to swipe your card to enter into a windowed room at the front of a building are even worse because then you’re trapped in a room. So ATM the movie is really my paranoia come to life, but on crack.

ATM is the story of David (B...
