We know how it is: You'd like to go to the movies this weekend, but you're gonna be busy searching for an idiot to invite to a dinner party. Maybe you'll find one at the video-rental store! And when someone asks you on Monday, "Hey, did you see Dinner for Schmucks this weekend?" you can say, "Nah,… Continued

Review: Charlie St. Cloud Represents Progress

Universal Picture's "Charlie St. Cloud" (2010)
Universal Picture's "Charlie St. Cloud" (2010) - Universal Pictures

"Addresses mature ideas intelligently and doesn't pander too shamelessly to its core audience."

Zac Efron is too pretty and has starred in too many films with the words High School Musical in the title to be taken very seriously as an actor, but he's getting there. He acquits… Continued

Review: Cats & Dogs Living Together Produces Only Mild Hysteria

"Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore" (2010) - Paramount Pictures

"Succeeds as a modestly funny midsummer diversion."

I don't know why it took them nine years to make a sequel to Cats & Dogs, an amusing but largely forgettable family flick that had domestic canines and felines running a secret war against each other. I don't know why they made a… Continued

Review: Dinner for Schmucks Fails at The Funny

It seems that Inception has ruled not only the box office for the past two weeks, but the public consciousness as well. People are still talking about that antigravity fight scene, the significance of Mal, and whether or not that damn top is still spinning. No one can stop talking about this movie,… Continued

Eric's Bad Movies: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)

"Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1978)
"Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1978) - Universal Pictures

Do you love the music of the Beatles but wish you hated it? Then have I got the thing for you! The 1978 film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band accomplishes what many scholars believed was impossible: It renders the Fab Four dull, grating, and unlistenable, just like your grandparents always said… Continued
