NO STRINGS ATTACHED – Reviewed by Noah

This started out as a smarmy review of No Strings Attached. I’m not proud, I pre-judged the movie based purely on Ashton Kutcher.
I don’t like him. Can you really blame me?

FAIR GAME – Reviewed by Noah

Man, did I not want to watch Fair Game. I remember the actual events, and I just wasn’t in the mood to relive the mistakes of the Younger Bush administration. Also, I’m not a big Sean Penn fan. He strikes me as kind of a jerk most times. I’m sure he’s [...]

WAITING FOR SUPERMAN – Reviewed by Noah

Everyone has already told you to see Waiting for Superman. I’m not going to be any different.  It was a heartfelt and moving foray into the crumbling American education system.
Just because I say see it, don’t think I’m endorsing it as a “good” documentary. 

WELCOME TO THE RILEYS – Reviewed by Noah

It seems like the fall back position of “indie” cinema these days is that drama almost exclusively comes from tragedy. Welcome to the Rileys is no exception.
It’s a story of a married couple who has lost their 15 year old daughter to a car accident. After her death, they seem to be separately [...]

NOWHERE BOY – Reviewed by Noah

When I first heard this project was in the works, I groaned. I’m not a Beatles fan, never have been.

After being betrayed by the organization who hired him, an ex-Federale launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his former bossRR
Someone once said, “The difference between good pornography and bad pornography is the addition of plot.” I think it might have been Gandhi.

GROWN UPS – Reviewed by Noah

It’s not so much that Grown Ups is a bad movie. Trust me, it is. It’s that it is so poorly structured, and yet I still wanted to see the end.
Grown Ups is the story of five childhood friends who are reunited for the funeral of their beloved coach. Adam Sandler is the successful one, [...]

GET HIM TO THE GREEK – Reviewed by Noah

Russell Brand is not a tool.
I know it sounds crazy, but stay with me.

DEATH AT A FUNERAL – Reviewed by Noah

Death at a Funeral tells the wacky story of all the things that can go wrong when families come together to observe the loss of their patriarch.
Sound familiar?

BROOKLYN’S FINEST – Reviewed by Noah

The most recent film from action director Antoine Fuqua, Brooklyn’s Finest is the story of three seemingly unconnected cops walking the Brooklyn beat. Ethan Hawke plays a detective with money problems, namely buying a house for his pregnant wife and apparently unending stream of children. Don Cheadle plays an undercover drug [...]
