Today I sat through the gruelling experience of watching the entire four hour and seventeen minutes of Steven Soderbergh’s two-part biopic about Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Each part of the film tells different stories. The first part deals with the Cuban revolution, while the second part deals with Che’s futile coupe in Bolivia. I have to…
If I didn’t know better, I would have thought Role Models was produced by Judd Apatow. Not only does it star Paul Rudd, who has been a constant supporting character in Apatow’s films, but it also features Elizabeth Banks (in her third film within a month), Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jane Lynch, Ken Jeong, and Joe Lo…
This film comes about a little under 11 months after my only other experience with star Jason Segel (that being Knocked Up). He wasn’t really too much of a stand-out in the movie, so it was a little risky pushing him into the lead (even though that move worked for Seth Rogen in last year’s…

Sadly, I have to say that is not the case. The film did have it’s moments. I thought the scenes where Stiller’s comedy…
Back in April, I pondered how Rob Zombie’s remake/reimagining/whatever of Halloween would measure up to John Carpenter’s original film. My final verdict is not that well. I have to say, when I was watching the film, I was intrigued by the expanded backstory that Zombie gave Michael Myers. In fact, I thought it was quite…
There was a time, not so long ago, when I would have not felt comfortable seeing R-rated comedies like this one. However, films like Wedding Crashers and The 40-Year Old Virgin (a film I was initially freaked out about, but quietly went to see anyway) showed me that those films tend to be the more…
