REVIEW: I'd Rather Shovel Sheep's Poop Than Watch Dance Crew LMNTRIX Step Up All In for Alexxa Brava's The Vortex on VH1

Step Up All In





Directed By: Trish Sie

Starring: Ryan Guzman, Briana Evigan, Misha Gabriel, Adam Sevani, Alyson Stoner, Mari Koda, Christopher Scott, and Luis Rosado

The life of a dancer is not easy.  I know this because the Step Up series has beaten this message over moviegoers' heads four times before.  That's why this weekend's Step Up All In is simply déjà vu.  We've seen it all before, again and again and again.  Strangely enough, this latest installment puts me in the mindset of the wizar...

REVIEW: Instead of Zeke the Freak or the TLAM Girls' Poison, Think Like a Man Too Focuses Far Too Much on the Best Man with a Plan, Kevin Hart

Think Like a Man Too





Directed By: Tim Story

Starring: Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence J., Romany Malco, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union, La La Anthony, and Kevin Hart

I'm sure my reviews of Grudge Match and Ride Along put me squarely in the corner of what some fans might deem the Kevin Hart Haters Club, but I'd like to offer a different perspective.  The pint-sized comedian typically delivers big laughs, but in the last seven or ...

REVIEW: For the Flatbush Four in Last Vegas, No One Calls Them Names, Like a Movie That Sucks, Except Us

Last Vegas





Directed By: Jon Turteltaub

Starring: Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Kevin Kline, and Morgan Freeman

Hollywood has a tendency to milk every drop out of whatever idea that’s become their latest cash cow.  Take The Hangover's wild bachelor party concept for instance.  Because of Hollywood's insistence on sacrificing originality for profitability, I have a love-hate relationship with the Wolf Pack.  I love the original Hangover movie and hate parts 2 and 3.  With this in mind, it sho...

REVIEW: The Hangover Part III – Leslie Chow Leads The Wolfpack Through Tijuana and Vegas, But The Party Is Clearly Over

The Hangover Part III
SoberFilmChick



Directed by: Todd Phillips

Starring:  Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Justin Bartha, and John Goodman

Comedies very rarely have successful sequels, let alone a trilogy.  As I watched The Hangover Part III, all I could think was that the creators should have stopped after the original Hangover movie.  Why did they have to taint my memories of Stu, Phil and Alan? Oh right—because the franchise is worth ...

REVIEW: The Brain Rapist, Rance Holloway, and the Astonishing Jane Can't Save the Magical Friendship of Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone





Directed By: Don Scardino

Starring: Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, James Gandolfini, and Jim Carrey

American culture today is bereft of any real values or meaningful qualities.  Sadly, this is the product of my generation, the Millennials.  The plague of reality television and an ever-growing, ever-popular online library of senseless YouTube videos are symptomatic of these problems.  I'm not going to go on a full rant about everything that'...
