Still LOL funny after all these years, The Naked Gun’s inspired lunacy retains its comedic potency. Leslie Nielsen’s obtuse police detective played off a rogue’s gallery of evil archetypes, from the Ayatollah and other 1988 Axis of Evil bastards, to a local crime lord, earning legendary stat…

Any engaging thriller starring Russell Crowe makes for a better than average movie, even if this one isn’t getting the credit it deserves. So what if it’s implausible to the point of surrealism. Such reality liberties are the way of the world these days. Fortunately they lead to more than a fe…

Half a realistic Viking movie, half a bonkers Nordic fantasy, The Northman sets a new benchmark in late-first millennium historical-fiction movies, with plenty of intense action and a dollop of sex thrown in for good measure. While not for the faint of heart, it well rewards action-movie fans a…

Life is cheap in Jakarta. Guys get killed. Girls get, well, you know, treated disrespectfully in The Raid 2. The fun – this being a hell of a fun movie – comes from seeing how the guys get knocked off, as it’s often spectacularly inventive and/or a complete gross-out, with a body count that …

First of all it’s a Kurt Russell movie, always a good thing. Secondly, it’s tremendously assured, crisply created by a master movie craftsman. Last but not least, it portrays a classic grim-trigger game, where a dozen marooned guys have to kill one comrade after another upon determining that th…

Really funny and occasionally inspired, often lewd and occasionally disgusting, The Watch features heavy drinkers facing off against an alien menace. Hardly humanity’s best and brightest representatives, Vince Vaughn and crew are more like our best boneheads and ballbusting nitwits. The com…

The Wolf of Long Island celebrates a craven criminal: a coke snorting, lude popping, reverse Robin Hood. What’s that? The biopic about the demented Jordan Belfort is titled The Wolf of Wall Street. Really? He spent scant time there. Belfort and his entire operation are Long Islanders dow…

This Is The End is the demented love child of Superbad, Pineapple Express, Cloverfield and Left Behind. Yes, that’s four parents. Who’s judging. Slyly self-referential, super sick and sock-it-to-me funny, it simply slays – comedically speaking. Roughly 40% LOL, the intervening 60% gets …

Norse mythology – vainglorious and a bit fussy – isn’t everyone’s cup of grog. Yet it inspires a marvelous comik movie. Just this side of campy in the opening reel, Marvel’s latest proves gracious and charming by the middle, then thunderously thrilling in its climactic battle sequences. Most…
