Soul Men (2008)

Soul Men (2008)

Vulgar, obnoxious and offensive, Soul Men was a bit hard to finish at times when I would think to myself “what’s the point?” Knowing that it was Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes last film, I stayed through till the end and summed it up as a mediocre but entertaining movie. Soul Men is all about a road trip, grossly similar to Planes, Trains, and...

The House Bunny

The House Bunny

Of course everyone will hate on it but I found The House Bunny to be absolutely hilarious. Anna Faris continues to surf my fanboi nerves because not only is she cute and adorable, she is pretty damn funny in her own right.

Good – Robert Downey Jr. in black...

The Forbidden Kingdom

The Forbidden Kingdom

Finally the much anticipated movie pitting the two kings of kung fu popularity against once another was released. Quite eager to see the face-off occur with a bit of reluctance due to the American kid being written into the film, I sat down amongst my fellow movie-goers and watched it unfold. The Forbidden Kingdom is a fantasy tale of a weak young man’s...
