Review: Love and Other Drugs (2010)
Posted On 24 Nov 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, Comedy, Reviews, Romantic Comedy.
Love and Other Drugs is your typical romantic comedy, but it's elevated by a raunchier sense of humor and great casting...until it falls into the cliches of its genre.

Review: Skyline (2010)
Posted On 15 Nov 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 1.5 Stars (Insignificant), 2010, Action, Comedy, Reviews, Science Fiction.
Skyline is the train wreck everyone says it is, and if you have that feeling in your gut you're going to be disappointed, follow that instinct. If you're like me though and enjoy insanely bad movies, it may be worth a watch despite what your conscience tries to tell you.

Review: Morning Glory (2010)
Posted On 11 Nov 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, Comedy, Reviews, Romantic Comedy.
For a movie that isn't really aimed for my demographic, Morning Glory is surprisingly funny and entertaining, with great performances by Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams, and a cast that elevates the mediocre story into something worth checking out.

Review: SAW 3D (2010)
Posted On 01 Nov 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 1 Star (Awful), 2010, Action, Crime, Horror, Reviews, Suspense/Thriller.
Okay, it's more of a rant but it's my party and I'll whine if I want to. Minor spoilers for the entire SAW series. And in case you don't want to read it: the movie sucks. Bad.

Review: Everything Must Go (2010)
I probably "didn't get" the overall message, but what I saw on the whole was very boring with the interesting elements overshadowed by a completely uninteresting and lackluster main story.

Posted On 22 Oct 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 1.5 Stars (Insignificant), 2009, 2010, Action, Action-Adventure, By Star Rating, Western.
At 80 minutes, The Last Rites of Ransom Pride is all style over substance, and the style isn't even that great.

Review: Jackass 3D (2010)
Posted On 17 Oct 2010 By Jonathan Sullivan. Under 2010, 3 Stars (Fantastic), Comedy, Documentary, Reviews.
If you hated the other ones, you'll hate this just as much, but everyone else...enjoy yourselves. Sometimes watching people maim themselves is more appealing than watching your bank account and dreams dwindle.

Review: Red (2010)
Posted On 15 Oct 2010 By Bartleby. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2010, 2010, Action, Action-Adventure, By Genre, Comedy, Reviews, Romantic Comedy.
Red may be adapted from Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer’s energetic graphic novel, but what it really feels like is an extension of a scene in this past summer’s similar action entry, The Expendables. Even if you haven’t seen the film, you know the moment I mean—where Bruce meets Sly and Arnold in a church, offers them a job, and then jets off again.
