Now before you go and write this off as another boring documentary about Global Warming claiming to scare you into caring, give me a chance to enlighten you about Carbon Nation. The documentary is simply an unbiased, yet interesting look at what every person could do on the Earth to help curb our global climate crisis. The film doesn’t care if you believe in Global Warming or not, and it really doesn’t care if you think it’s caused by humans, nature or whatever. This is simply a grown up version of politics...

Unknown is the twisting and turning story of Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) and his struggle to discover his identity. Not just Martin Harris, mind you. I’m attempting to get you ready to hear that quite a bit, because he drills the word “Doctor” into your brain. Not since Shutter Island’s “Duly Appointed Marshall” have I heard so much repetition. Anyway, Dr. Martin Harris gets into one nasty car wreck after arriving in Berlin, leaving him a little shaken and completely replaced in his life...

Ed Helms is seemingly best known for his roll on The Office, at least from my experience whenever I mention his name that seems to be the first thing out of people’s mouths when brought up. A close second to that would be his role as Stu in the 2009 breakout hit The Hangover. I mention this as this is the first time I can think that Helms has gotten top billing in a comedy. Though contrary to what the poster for the 2009 blacklisted script for the new film, and Helms star Cedar Rapids would have you believe, it is more...

First of all let me just say that if my editor post this review I will be shocked. Second of all what shocked me the most is that although Never Say Never was nothing more than an expensive rendition of VHI’s Behind the Music I did not want to claw my eyes out by the end of it. I fully admit that I too have done my fair share of Bieber bashing and I also admit that I was unfairly doing so. Because you see aside from a few verses here and there I had never actually heard one of his songs. The phrase “never...

Brotherhood follows a fraternity hazing incident gone horribly wrong and the aftermath it causes. I was skeptical about the movie going in because it was about a fraternity. What kind of excitement can come from a movie about dumb frat boys? Quite a lot as far as Brotherhood is concerned. The movie starts out right away with the hazing incident. The pledges of Sigma Zeta Chi being driven around in a van with a couple of the brothers. They are asked to go into a convenience store with a ski mask on and a gun and...

In 1992 I was an awkward and uncultured sixth-grader growing up in a dying farming community in South East Kansas. I can remember considering Adam Sandler to be a genius at that time. However, a lot has changed since then. For starters I’m no longer 11. However, Dennis Dugan, who recently directed Just Go With It seems to be hell bent on aiming towards my 11 year old intelligence. He’s even been quoted as saying “Audiences that go to my movies don’t want a message. They don’t want my soul exposed...

The Eagle is set in the second century when Rome occupied much of Britain. Not everyone backed down to the Romans. Many tribes in northern Britain refused to be under Roman rule and ruthlessly attacked Roman armies. This led to Rome essentially giving up on northern Britain and building Hadrian’s Wall, a Great Wall of China-esque wall that protected the south from north. Before the wall was built, the Ninth Legion of Rome ventured into northern Britain and never came back. Along with their disappearance, their...

There is nothing scarier than the thought of losing everything that you have ever worked for. You wake up one day, go into work only to find your that you’re no longer needed, then search endlessly for a job that’s just not there, lose your house, your car and have to start your life all over again. This is not only the subject of The Company Men, but it’s also the reality that most Americans are facing today. It’s what makes The Company Men so great, there is nothing else that grabs a person’s...

The Mechanic is one slick action film from CBS Films with impossible assassinations and ridiculous explosions. As anyone can guess, a movie like this is bound to have more than a few issues – but if taken at face value and with it’s true intentions in mind, it’s a really fun flick that annihilates your January cabin fever.
Just so we’re clear, I’m not going to discuss all the variations between The Mechanic of 1972 (Charles Bronson), and The Mechanic of 2011 (Jason Statham). There are clear...

The Rite is definitely going to wake you up from your winter coma, however, there is such a heavy, hidden meaning within the film, that it can be hard to swallow at times. The Rite stars Anthony Hopkins as the go-to priest for exorcists in Rome. He is quirky and modern, which provides some chuckles, but even he can’t avoid possession all the time. Watch below to see what Ryan and Angela thought of the thriller hitting theatres this Friday that 28th. Let us know what you thought of the film, if you dare to venture out this...
