For the first time in two years, an animated movie is not on my favorite movie of the year. In fact, there was barely an animated movie on my list but change is a good thing. I’ve been pretty happy with the movies released this year and this was the easiest 10 I’ve done yet. [...]
Goddamn you Michael Bay. Not because you’ve turned the Transformers into the equivalent of slow motion action sequence robot zombies, ready to be blown up at a whim, devoid of any character they’ve developed over the past 25 + years of the franchise’s existence but because – even after the cinematic proof that your take [...]
Usually I’ll type the following sentence as a sort of colloquialism but here it’s use is completely the truth.

Well this ought to be interesting. No matter how many times I’ve been burned by the Platinum Dunes horror remakes, I still get sold on the trailers every time. The one for the first Chainsaw remake is still one of my favorite trailers. Here is the trailer for the new A Nightmare of Elm Street. I’m sold, of course, but decide for yourself after the jump.
I will not bullshit for you one minute- this movie is terrible.  If you’re looking for a singular narrative, move the fuck along.  If you’re hoping for characters that you can relate to and worry about, better hope your ass down to The Proposal.  However, if BOOM, BANG, FUCK ME THAT’S A HUGE ROBOT are [...]
