Posted on 09. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Colleen Walsh-Jervis, reviews

Few movies have reviews as mixed as Ted, the film about the bromance between a man and his living teddy bear getting in the way of his romance with his girlfriend. Rotten Tomatoes currently gives it 69% on the Tomatometer with an average score of 6.5 out of 10. Two-thirds of professional reviews are positive, though many come with a caveat: there are many aspects of the movie that have been done before and the jokes are crass.Read More »

Forbes’ Highest Paid Actors List Full of Surprises

Posted on 05. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Audra Rundle, celebrities

I had to take a triple take at the Forbes list of highest-paid actors in the last year. Only two of the top five names are what I would consider “serious” actors, and I only like one.

Fans of Zach Galifianakis probably know him best from his off-colored comedic roles in movies like The Hangover, Hangover II, and Dinner for Schmucks.

Rock of Ages Review

Posted on 27. Jun, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Movies, Tracey Vest

I had been dying to see Rock of Ages, mostly out of curiosity about Tom Cruise’s performance, but I confess it was also for the sake of nostalgia. I wasn’t exactly a rocker back in the day, but it was definitely a lot of fun to hear all of the music…and try not to sing along.Read More »

Posted on 17. Jun, 2012 by suz in category of Movies, Audra Rundle

 

Some men have a type of woman they date. Will Smith has a type of movie he stars in. Think “action, moral, and happy ending” and you’ll likely find Smith. Quentin Tarantino offered Smith an opportunity to bust out of his traditional movie arena with a starring role in Django Unchained, and Smith was definitely interested. So why did he pass it up?Read More »
