  • > The Woman in Black
    By: Ryan Belbin | February 10, 2012

    If you only know one thing about The Woman in Black, aside from the fact that it’s a Gothic thriller that somehow involves a woman in black, it’s that the f... Read More

  • > The Muppets
    By: Matthew Ryder | December 13, 2011

    It’s been a long time since The Muppets were relevant. Like, a long time. One of my earliest memories is Kermit the Frog introducing John Denver as the guest ... Read More

  • > J. Edgar
    By: Matthew Ryder | November 29, 2011

    Clint Eastwood is an overrated director. People don’t like to hear that, but it’s a fact and it’s been proven by his body of work. Sure, he has some fi... Read More

  • > The Rum Diary
    By: Matthew Ryder | November 7, 2011

    Johnny Depp is the most bankable star in Hollywood. He plays every role with quirks, and people love him for it no matter how good, bad, or unnecessary (I’m l... Read More

  • > The Thing
    By: Matthew Ryder | October 24, 2011

    Horror remakes are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t believe a movie should be panned just because it doesn’t live up to the original that it’s r... Read More

  • > 50/50
    By: Matthew Ryder | October 7, 2011

    Going into 50/50, two words played repeatedly in the back of my head. Funny People. Funny People. Funny People. Funny People. Funny People. ... Read More

  • > Warrior
    By: Matthew Ryder | September 22, 2011

    I’m a fan of mixed martial arts, and have been for a long time. I can tell you what it was like to watch Royce Gracie on VHS with my dad when we didn’t know... Read More

  • > Apollo 18
    By: Matthew Ryder | September 8, 2011

    By the time Apollo 18 was over, I had a whole mess of thoughts going on in my head. Even now, days later, I write this from a place of confusion because I’m s... Read More

  • > 30 Minutes or Less
    By: Matthew Ryder | August 25, 2011

    If you’ve seen the preview for 30 Minutes or Less and thought it would be raunchy and pretty funny, you’re in the right headspace. There’s not much els... Read More

  • > The Change-Up
    By: Matthew Ryder | August 11, 2011

    The body-switch comedy is BACK! Okay, not really. Actually I could probably spend the next 600 words explaining all the reasons it was never “here” to be... Read More

  • > Super 8
    By: Matthew Ryder | June 29, 2011

    I like to have clever taglines for my reviews, something that you might draw you to read on. I hated Super 8 so much that I was literally at a loss to say anyth... Read More

  • > X-Men: First Class
    By: Matthew Ryder | June 14, 2011

    Comic movies have a hard time being taken seriously. They make huge money at the box office almost without fail (except you Elektra, you failed big time), but m... Read More

  • > The Hangover: Part II
    By: Matthew Ryder | June 2, 2011

    Most of us have experienced a hangover. They aren’t the best. You lay in bed, wondering why you did this to yourself and piecing together the previous night, ... Read More

  • > Thor
    By: Matthew Ryder | May 19, 2011

    I’ll be the first to admit two things going into this review: I am unabashedly committed to any film that Marvel Studios puts out because I grew up when they ... Read More

  • > Fast Five
    By: Matthew Ryder | May 5, 2011

    It’s not really rocket science what you’re getting into when you sit down to watch Vin Diesel and Paul Walker drive fast cars and hang out with beautiful wo... Read More

  • > Scream 4
    By: Matthew Ryder | April 20, 2011

    It’s been a decade since the Ghostface Killer was last seen hacking up co-eds. For some, it’s been a long decade without him. For others, if he was never se... Read More

  • > Source Code
    By: Matthew Ryder | April 8, 2011

    When deciding what movie to take in this week, I was in the dark on Source Code until I read a brief synopsis of it online. It seemed interesting, certainly int... Read More
