Moonlight (2016) 98% “Moonlight may be a quiet, understated gem. But you can expect the buzz surrounding it to become deafening.” – Shadow and Act Aug 15, 2017 Full Review A United Kingdom (2016) 83% “It may hit some familiar notes along the way, but when the story is this good, you don't really mind hearing it again.” – Shadow and Act Feb 7, 2017 Full Review I Called Him Morgan (2016) 96% “For those equally unfamiliar with Morgan, or who only know him because of the tragic end to his story, Collins' new film will make for a worthwhile education.” – Shadow and Act Jan 23, 2017 Full Review Deadpool (2016) 85% “[Deadpool] the (anti)hero we didn't even know we needed.” – AskMen.com Dec 12, 2016 Full Review La Dolce Vita (1960) 95% 93/100 “Along with his later 8 1/2, La Dolce Vita is regarded as one of acclaimed Italian director Federico Fellini's best-loved and most influential films. The '60s-set tale of one man's struggle with the so-called "sweet life" stars Marcello Mastroi” – AskMen.com Feb 17, 2010 Full Review The Wolfman (2010) 32% 50/100 “The Wolfman boasts a solid principal cast from Del Toro to Hopkins and up-and-comer Emily Blunt, but Del Toro especially seems to be going through the motions at half speed, as if waiting for the beast and the stuntmen to take it from there. Only H” – AskMen.com Feb 11, 2010 Full Review The Book of Eli (2010) 47% 6/10 “Denzel Washington deserves equal credit for this, delivering his best Man with No Name impression as a Bible-thumping hero in a much more literal sense, one who delivers bloody vengeance in lieu of sermons. Though these types of roles are far more demandi” – AskMen.com Jan 15, 2010 Full Review Avatar (2009) 81% 8/10 “Rarely a boring moment or unnecessary scene. Avatar isn't going to redefine movies as we know them, but on the level of pure visual spectacle, the bar has certainly been raised.” – AskMen.com Dec 15, 2009 Full Review Brothers (2009) 63% 64/100 “Despite its title, Sheridan's film is less concerned with sibling rivalry (romantic or otherwise) and more with post-traumatic stress disorder -- which would be fine if it had anything particularly new or profound to add to the conversation. Unfortunately” – AskMen.com Dec 4, 2009 Full Review Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) 86% 9/10 “A movie that ultimately has more cult than mass appeal, how much you enjoy Bad Lieutenant will probably come down to how much you like Werner Herzog rather than Nicolas Cage. A notoriously eccentric director, his latest film is nowhere near as mainstream” – AskMen.com Nov 20, 2009 Full Review The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) 28% 4/10 “If you're not a teenage girl or don't swoon at the sight of Robert Pattinson or a shirtless Taylor Lautner, then surprise, New Moon wasn't made for you. An event movie for girls in the same way every Michael Bay movie is a guilty pleasure for guys, there'” – AskMen.com Nov 20, 2009 Full Review The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) 51% 73/100 “There's not much action in The Men Who Stare at Goats, despite ostensibly being a "war movie" -- but then again, that's about what you'd expect from a film about a military unit trained to fight with their minds instead of guns. And while the satir” – AskMen.com Nov 4, 2009 Full Review Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) 81% 71/100 “Originally meant for Michael Jackson's own personal library prior to the pop superstar's untimely death in June 2009, This Is It chronicles four months in the King of Pop's life as he prepared for a string of sold-out concerts that were set to have” – AskMen.com Oct 28, 2009 Full Review Paranormal Activity (2007) 83% 83/100 “Since the characters feel real, so do the scares. Peli shows a profound grasp of the fundamentals of suspense, making a 30-second shot of an empty bedroom more terrifying than most of what passes for horror these days. That's because Paranormal Activity's” – AskMen.com Oct 15, 2009 Full Review Whip It (2009) 86% 75/100 “Make no mistake, despite the promise of girls in fishnets, Whip It! is a chick flick through and through. It may advertise hot girls in skates hitting each other to get you into the theater, but apart from a few tame shots of Page stripping down, o” – AskMen.com Oct 2, 2009 Full Review Zombieland (2009) 89% 92/100 “Zombieland doesn't find quite the same balance of laughs and scares as Shaun of the Dead did -- it's much heavier on the comedy than the horror -- but its similar focus on three-dimensional characters rather than the genre's typical cardboar” – AskMen.com Sep 30, 2009 Full Review I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) 20% 31/100 “Made up of strung-together stories from Tucker Max's best-selling book of the same name, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is a painfully unfunny celebration of dim misogyny and unabashed narcissism. Matt Czuchry plays Tucker as he ropes his best frie” – AskMen.com Sep 23, 2009 Full Review Whiteout (2009) 7% 71/100 “All we're given is a lukewarm mystery where frustrating plot holes give way to lackulster conclusions, and even the most furious CGI snowstorms can't obscure the film's telegraphed "twist."” – AskMen.com Sep 10, 2009 Full Review Gamer (2009) 30% 60/100 “There's a reason Neveldine and Taylor have been heralded by action junkies as potential saviors of the genre -- after years of interchangeable formulaic entries, they're giving audiences something different yet familiar at the same time. Is it perfect? Ha” – AskMen.com Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Extract (2009) 62% 76/100 “With Extract, Office Space (1999) creator Mike Judge returns to familiar ground: A comedy about an average Joe unsatisfied with his lot in life and reaching the breaking point. Jason Bateman plays Joel, the owner of an extract manufacturing” – AskMen.com Sep 3, 2009 Full Review Halloween II (2009) 25% 45/100 “While Halloween II starts out as a character study in post-traumatic stress, it's safe to assume that's not what most horror fans will be looking for. And though Zombie maintains the motif of nightmarish visions throughout, the movie eventually cha” – AskMen.com Aug 28, 2009 Full Review The Time Traveler's Wife (2009) 38% 41/100 “The Time Traveler's Wife stars Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a Chicago man suffering from "chrono-impairment disorder" -- that is, a genetic anomaly that causes him to involuntarily time travel. The defective gene doesn't prevent Henry from meeting” – AskMen.com Aug 12, 2009 Full Review Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008) 78% 65/100 “By glossing over much of the Italian designer's past, Tyrnauer assumes a certain level of familiarity with his subject from his intended audience. If you can't tell Valentino from Versace, you ain't it. That said, The Last Emperor isn't totally ina” – AskMen.com Aug 5, 2009 Full Review In the Loop (2009) 94% 85/100 “A war-room farce in the proud tradition of Dr. Strangelove, the satire is sharp and biting, and the comic incompetence and witty bickering that's become a hallmark of recent British comedy exports is absurdly terrifying when it's also found in the” – AskMen.com Jul 23, 2009 Full Review Orphan (2009) 60% 44/100 “House of Wax director Jaume Collet-Serra returns to the horror genre with Orphan, a clumsy thriller that elicits far more laughs than genuine scares. Like too many horror films these days, the movie is so rife with false scares or misleading” – AskMen.com Jul 23, 2009 Full Review
