The wonderful chemistry between Zoe Kazan and Jake Johnson in The Pretty One becomes lost amidst a story that struggles to balance driving emotions and charming comedy, falling into a confused and awkward classification.
Lucky Bastard will regrettably leave most horror fans with a serious case of blue balls after a whimpering climax goes disappointingly soft. Think I can cram any more sexual puns in there? That's what she said.
Get ready to laugh your blocks off, because this is one fantastic Lego adventure not even your wildest playtime fantasies could have imagined - bringing a smile to the wide-eyed child in all of us.
After struggling through I, Frankenstein not too long ago, this week's article topic was an easy one for me to come up with - mainstream horror moments that make Nato and Remy very sad pandas. Seriously - did any of you see I, Frankenstein? Sure, there were some decently entertaining fight sequences between gargoyles, demons, and a studly Frankenstein, but at the expense of character development, storyboarding, and proper atmosphere design that couldn't even establish a hustling and bustling city. What kind of city has zero residents besides living gargoyles and shapeshifting demons?
Starting a podcast wouldn't feel right without some technical difficulties right off the bat, and on our second episode in, my co-host Justine Browning and I found out an unfortunate fact - my Blue Snowball microphone doesn't exactly get along with her laptop. Since I hiked across New York City to do the show, we attempted a salvage mission on this week's episode, one that honestly turned out much better than expected. Please show some mercy as we were forced to record using only an internal microphone. Being the troopers that we are though, we powered ahead despite the small obstacle and are now bringing you another episode of I'd Rather Be At The Movies.
Hey everyone - remember that time Kevin Smith said he was retiring after Clerks III? Yeah, looks like that plan is falling apart rather quickly for our passionate filmmaker. First, he announced his pseudo horror thriller Tusk, a film that shows Michael Parks turning Justin Long into a walrus, then came news of Helena Handbasket, another genre piece that might turn into a musical. Now, Smith has surprised fans with another outrageous surprise - he'll be co-directing Comes The Krampus!, a Christmas themed horror anthology birthed from yet another podcast conversation.
When talking about modern day Renaissance men, Kevin Grevioux's name absolutely has to be thrown into the mix. The gentle giant has a bevy of different credits to his name including writer, producer, actor, comic book creator, and he even opened the comic label DarkStorm Studios back in 2003. While his name might not be on the tip of your tongue, you'll remember Grevioux most famously for his role as Raze in the Underworld franchise - which he also scripted. Then you'll hear his voice and go, "Ohhhhh, that's Kevin Grevioux!" - as you should.
