Movie Review: Project X
Project X got viral pretty quickly. What’s not to like? The trailer was full of hot sexy women and hormones and people looking to score. While you’ll sorely be let down because the trailer definitely delivered way too much hype, the film still has its moments. Project X is funny but not in the typical comedy sense, aside from a midget [...]

Movie Review: Haywire
Haywire is the offspring of Bourne Identity and Ocean’s Eleven. Only thing is some of the DNA got lost along the way. Haywire boast lots of action without quality acting, witty punch lines without great writing. Gina Carano was a pleasant surprise in this flick. She plays Mallory, a black ops super soldier that is looking for revenge [...]

They garnered critically-acclaim for their work on/in Once and this time deliver a music documentary. Aptly titled The Swell Season, the film follows the band on tour and the toll it [...]
