SPEED RACER - (3 out of 4 Buckets) - "Every year, there seems to be one movie released that simply mystifies the viewer solely through its technical mastery. This movie isn’t a spectacle simply because it is full of flashy and impressive special effects; it bends all of the rules of traditional filmmaking as we know it. Last summer, this film came in the form of The Bourne Ultimatum, a picture that contained so many handheld shots and complicatedly-staged  action sequences that it was jarring to think about the levels of intricacy and continuity that director Paul..."

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS - (1 1/2 out of 4 Buckets) - "Is there really any legitimate reason for me to be reviewing What Happens in Vegas? In truth, there is probably only one: that this write-up will garner significant readership because the movie will rake in a healthy gross at the box-office. [...] The fact of the matter is that no negative review of the movie will discourage any potential viewer from seeing it (nor would a positive one encourage many of those already not interested to check it out). As a result, to review What Happens in Vegas seems a bit of a useless task. The..." Read More >>>

IRON MAN - (3 out of 4 Buckets) - "What a way to start the summer movie season! [...] No, Jon Favreau’s Iron Man is not a masterpiece—nor is it even one of the best comic-book adaptations ever made—but it represents the first time I’ve had unadulterated, big-budget fun at a cinema since… well, last summer. The movie represents exactly what a summer release should: loud and spectacular entertainment that makes a point of remaining cohesive and involving despite its enormousness. With Iron Man, Favreu has tackled a Herculean project and, in the..." Read More >>>

BABY MAMA - (2 out of 4 Buckets) - "The following is an excerpt from the meeting in which writer/director Michael McCullers pitched his new film, Baby Mama, to two Universal Studios executives: [...] Executive A: How are you, Michael? We’re so glad to see your face around these parts given the success of Goldmember and Undercover Brother. What took you so long to come back to us? [...] Michael McCullers: Well, I really wanted to explore my comedic ideas – you know, give birth to a whole new type of comedy that will leave audiences rolling but touch their hearts at..."

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL - (2 out of 4 Buckets) - "Slowly but surely, Judd Apatow the Producer is breaking my heart. In my reviews for Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Drillbit Taylor, I commented on just how disappointing it was to see the same man who brought us The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad now backing the very cruddy comedy his previous works were antitheses of. Now, he has slapped his name on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which isn’t nearly as bad as the previous two catastrophes, but it still falls considerably flat in the..." Read More >>>
