At first I thought oh great another short film from some college students asking for me to fund there project. Being the smartass that I am I quickly responded after grabbing the card, I guess you want my money. The young College student (Alex Wagner) quickly responded with a no and asked me to just check them out on...

After a disastrous debut on the pro circuit, a young golfer finds himself unexpectedly stranded in Utopia, Texas and welcomed by an eccentric rancher. Let me get this off my chest, this is not the average sports film and the movie sells itself like a sports film in its trailer but its not at all. Everyone that plays the game of golf will love this film for the rest of us we have to pray on Lucas Black’s performance and thank god he did it right. It’s powerful yet completely unmotivational. Don’t walk into the movie looking for the Friday Night Lights of golf. Instead go into it ready to watch a mellow drama about self...

I haven’t seen this film in a while but now thanks to LTA Movie Club I will be watching and reviewing it again. It is one of my All-Time favorites. Starting next week I will be doing more movie reviews of older films as well as still doing my regular new release reviews. Check it out above, this is my review of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Video Review Schedule: Apollo 18 Drive Redstate City Island Spaceballs Footloose (2011) Fellowship of the Ring Food, Inc Silence of the...

It explores the realm of horror meets comedy very well. It also helps that there were a hand full of great performances by the cast. The 3D in this film was surprisingly great and I hate to say this but its the best 3D I have seen besides 2009′s Avatar. The film gets a 7 because at points it was far to dramatic. However it gets a bump up to an 8 because the great detail in 3D...

Amazingly well acted and the most emotionally involved film of 2011. Girls will cry but I hate to break it to you, guys will as well. It’s the funniest and most well thought out comedy of the year. Seth Rogan’s best performance ever!!! To sum this film up, it could be classified as a sequel/prequel to 500 days of summer. Everyone will love...

The youngest son (Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nolte) returns home, where he’s trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament. There is no doubt in my mind that this film is as cliche as they come. However, anyone who enjoyed Rocky or The Fighter will come out more then satisfied with this movie. It puts a modern day twist on the sports story explored and gives the audience new and exciting performances from breakout actors. I was more then impressed with Warrior as a sports...

Sometimes it felt like it tried to hard but then the film settled and it was straight up raw, nasty, fun. The greatest thing was it’s unpredictability and willingness to go farther then most comedies will ever...

I don’t know if it lives up to the hype but it does present a very well written concept. They explain everything and leave no questions. Its as blockbuster as they come, I am just glad that it had a good story line as well. Make sure to stay after the first ten or so credits there is a stinger scene that is complete crucial to Planet of the Apes. Any fan of the series won’t be disappointed at...

The most disappointing film of the summer. The streak of good movies had to end somewhere. This was complete stupid, dumbed down, action. The worst film I have seen that wasn’t directed by michael bay. Hell I think Michael Bay could have done a better job with this. Explosion, Explosion, Explosion isn’t as fun when it isn’t Transformers. This movie is just plain...
