Film Reviews

Well here’s a movie I didn’t expect to love.

Horrible Bosses isn’t just good, it’s great. Like, could-maybe-crack-my-top-five-at-the-end-of-the-year great. It’s at least guaranteed a spot in the Top Ten.

Sorta kinda like an uber-raunchy Strangers on a Train (a fact the movie directly references, in one of the funniest exchanges in the flick, which I won’t spoil), Horrible ...

When Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released in theaters, I didn't see it. I typically have a problem separating a film from its fanbase, especially if that means I have to go see that film with that fanbase.
