    It saddens me to say I didn’t find this to be all that great. Sure, there are definitely some big laughs in there, and I quite enjoyed that cameo-filled ridiculous park brawl near the end, but overall, it just felt disappointing. Maybe I just remember Anchorman as being funnier than it was, but there were…

    A documentary – that you can watch for free on YouTube – about DOTA 2 and the big 1 million dollar tournament that was held a year or two ago. At first it feels weird to see something like this about MOBAs with no mention of League of Legends (of course, since this is produced by Valve),…

    Well, no matter which way you fall on this movie, you gotta admit it’s pretty entertaining. It’s 3 hours long but I felt it fly by, with pretty great performances by everyone involved – especially Jonah Hill. Yes, these people are all despicable, but it sure is a fun ride to see them reach their…

    OK, so yeah, like everyone has said before, this is pretty great. I actually went in expecting to be disappointed, as I often am when I watch something that it so hyped, but I did quite like this. I do find the whole thing to be highly prosperous, in terms of her being able to…

    I wanted to watch this because the original Ender’s Game novel is one of my favorite sci-fi reads. If you already know how it ends, you do miss out on a lot, but I still found myself digging seeing the story visualized – and the visuals are definitely well done.

    I don’t like the character of Thor, I just don’t. Never really liked him in comics, no matter how well the books are written. I just don’t care for the whole Norse mythology mixed in with super-heroics thing – feels so cheesy. But I remember finding the trailers for this looking pretty interesting – focusing…

    I haven’t read the books, but had a pretty good time watching the first firlm. For this one, I was at first a bit lost with was going on – didn’t get why they weren’t being very friendly to each other – but I slowly started getting into it again, although the ending is definitely…

    I really loved this, and it was even more interesting for me since I didn’t really know the story – just that Lauda had been seriously injured. I like that it focuses on pretty much just one season, and wow, what a season that was, it’s almost hard to believe it really happened. And the…

    This movie is a lot better than you’d think. Sure, it’s cheesy as all hell, but in a delicious way. For me, it really reminded me of old school 80s action movies, stuff like Aliens, with all those classic character archetypes – the tough chick, the bastard, the spiritual one, etc. – and in a…

    Full disclosure: I love all of the Jackass movies, and so it’s no big surprise that I loved this too. It’s stupid fun, and the scene in the strip joint with balls hanging had me in pain from laughing (loved the “Cherry Pie” bit at the end too). I think the movie got criticized a…
