For me, THE RESCUERS is a movie I had almost completely forgotten. I almost didn’t even think I had seen it until we popped it in over a few beers, and had that unnerving vague sense of deja vu over the entire proceedings. http://youtu.be/My7kP35acMQ After that brilliant opening number, “The Journey,” it … Get hard
It was told to me, that after last month, I’ll have been out of college for longer than I was ever in it. This shocking fact almost caused me physical pain. It’s been more than four years since I graduated college, and I don’t have much, if anything, tangible to show … Get hard
While it’s kind of weird for a movie called HAPPY CHRISTMAS to come out during the summer, it’s great news for us as an audience, because it means we don’t have to wait so long to see this intimate, genuine depiction of young family life. HAPPY CHRISTMAS is very much a … Get hard
Right now you’d be in your arm chair, a mug of beer in tow, watching the newest installment of HBO’s GAME OF THRONES. Unfortunately, you won’t be doing that this Sunday night. GAME OF THRONES’ fourth season was probably its best yet, which is an impressive statement, since the first three seasons were essentially … Get hard

TRANSMORPHERS, JACK THE GIANT KILLER, ATLANTIC RIM, etc. Unsurprisingly, almost all … Get hard
When most of us think about Indian films, we play images of song and dance romances from Bollywood in our heads, when in reality, Bollywood is only a (highly visible/popular) segment of Indian cinema. MISS LOVELY is a film that shatters any preconceived notions you might have on Indian filmmaking, and … Get hard
You’ve seen PING PONG SUMMER before, loads of times, but Michael Tully’s new 80’s coming-of-age teen comedy still has enough heart and talent to justify revisiting that skin-crawling period of adolescence we’ve all gone through. Rad Miracle (yes, that’s his name) is a parachute pant wearing poster child for the … Get hard
I’ll admit, I’m probably the wrong one to write any post on the FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise. I watched the first one in the prime age of when I should love it (13-14), and didn’t really get it (though I appreciated the boobs). The only thing it did was … Get hard
Until last weekend, I had never seen ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, a 1987 classic from director Chris Columbus. This is to say, that until last weekend, I had never lived. The film, which you can guess at even if you don’t already know the film by heart, is about Chris Parker (eternal … Get hard
