5-Word Movie Review: Hellboy II

You Will Have a Blast

 

 

Final Thoughts: Despite what many people thought about the first movie, I actually liked it. I thought it was funny and full of the action it had promised. Therefore, I was looking forward to the release of its sequel. To my delight, it exceeded my expectations.

 

Since Hellboy (brilliantly played by Ron Perlman) is not...

A Lobotomy Would Be Funnier

 

 

Final Thoughts:  Let me be blunt – there’s absolutely nothing of value in this movie.

 

Nothing.

 

The Love Guru is more or less an hour and a half of fart jokes, lame name puns, penis references and recycled Austin Powers jokes. Whoever worked on this script needs to retire immediately.

 

Yes – that means you, Mi...

Hulk Smash This Terrible Film

 

 

Final Thoughts: Let’s face it – the first Incredible Hulk film with Eric Bana was a colossal disaster marred by poor editing, terrible acting and an incoherent plot.

 

The new Hulk film with Edward Norton and Liv Tyler is pretty much the same thing, but with a coherent plot that is simply dull, uninspired and co...

Sandler Overcomes His Comedic Slump

 


Final Thoughts: Adam Sandler, I used to love you. But, after a string of terrible films – I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Click and The Longest Yard – I lost hope in you and your “comedic” work. Therefore, it’s no surprise that when I received an invitation to the premiere for your new film, You Don’t M...

5-Word Movie Review: The Strangers

5-Word Movie Review: The Strangers
My Finals were much scarier.

Final Thoughts:
Has the horror industry lost its touch? It seems to me like the way to make a horror movie is to base it off a "true story", put some people in a house and loudly play sound effects to get people to jump in their seats.

The Strangers was supposed to be the horror movie of the summer, but it failed

5-Word Movie Review: Sex and the City
Producers ruined a good thing.



Final thoughts?
Let me start out by saying that I loved, loved, loved the show. It was a funny, heartfelt and relatable chronicle of the relationships of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. When I heard that a movie version was coming out, I honestly had doubts. Sure, I was excited about its premiere but sin...

5-Word Game Review: Ninja Gaiden

Skintight leather. Heads will roll!

 


Final thoughts: While most college students consider the Xbox to be the Halo-playing machine, I don’t. For me, Ninja Gaiden 1 for the original Xbox offered a much, much more entertaining and visceral experience. I mean – how can you not love a game where you’re a badass ninja in a skintight black leather ou
