Is there a funnier scary movie? While not laugh-your-guts-out funny, The Cabin in the Woods is full of LOLs all the way thru. The comedy just keeps coming and coming. The bloody deaths come too, becoming a welcome part of the comedy.

Some reviewers decline to describe the movie. _Just go…

The Avengers don’t just avenge. They dominate – the box office and Disney’s financial performance.

More personally, they fulfill the hopes of fanboys everywhere, including older generations who don’t even know they are fanboys. Ever love a Marvel comic? Prepare to be fulfilled, fanboy.

This remarkably entertaining movie is a playful Tim Burton take on a good old fashioned horror/ghost story. More serious and gruesome than say, ‘Scooby Doo’ or the ‘Adams Family’, but more humorous than ‘Let the Right One In’. Depp plays Barnabus Collins, an 1800’s magnate who spurned an aspirin…

The 21st century 21 Jump Street bangs the comedy gong, expertly exploiting high school and cop show cliches along the way. Well mounted, creatively inspired and charismatically performed, it’s almost enough to give commercial crap a good name.

OK maybe not, but it’s entertaining as hell.

An important but hardly perfect movie, The Hunger Games is however great enough to justify the fuss. The monster box office being generated by this first installment of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling trilogy of young-adult novels is helping The Hunger Games and heroine Katniss Eberdeen become …

Youth is wasted on the young – the saying goes. The same can be said about Chimpanzee. Not that children won’t appreciate it. They’ll love it. It’s just that grownups will appreciate it more, though how many adults without kids in tow deign to see “family” nature documentaries?

The slang for corporate recruiter once connoted a frisson of danger. Then “Headhunter” lost its edge. Headhunters returns it and then some. An insanely funny thriller, it rivals fellow Scandinavian noir classic Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Better to think of Jeff, Who Lives at Home as affecting drama with LOLs than as comedy with some stinkers. Consider the title as Exhibit A. Funny and intriguing to me, others might say “What The …?”

Many will reject Jeff@Home on stinkers alone, though it ends up as serious as a shot to…

There is nothing like the emotion behind a good war movie. Put that to use in a good humans vs. alien story, and you have the makings of a great summer blockbuster. Battleship is a worthy blockbuster indeed. The aliens are bad-ass, and the Navy is badder, and you’ll not often have a more fun time…
