Judd Apatow’s Best and Worst Movie
Funny People Review A fairly drastic departure for Judd Apatow, Funny People is overlong, rambling, unfocused and also sometimes moving, thought-provoking and maybe even just a smidge deep. Adam Sandler is actually quietly a very strong dramatic actor, a fact known to viewers of Punch-Drunk Love and Reign Over Me. Compared to those two movies…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan? (5/29/09)
You have an embarassment of riches. You could see Up, which I’ve heard from a friend who caught an early screening was great, and comes from Pixar, currently the most consistent creator of great films that I can think of. It’s also at 98% on Rottentomatoes, which is ludicrously good. If you like horror, there’s…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan? (5/2/09)
Not Wolverine! Read my review below for why. It’s not too high on Rottentomatoes either. If you haven’t caught State of Play yet that’s supposed to be good, according to the majority of critics. I’ve actually read a lot of positive feedback about Battle for Terra, but I would suggest reading up on it’s story…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan? (4/25/09)
My guess is you’ll be fine going with drama The Soloist if you’re not too picky. My colleague at The Diamondback gave it a positive review, and it’s at 61% on Rottentomatoes.com right now. If you’re into nature, you probably will enjoy the documentary Earth, which is actually pretty high up at 85% on Rottentomatoes. I…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan (4/18/09)
Well, there’s actually a number of options this week. Probably the safest bet according to Rottentomatoes is State of Play, starring Maximus himself, Russell Crowe. The film is currently at 81% on Rottentomatoes, a pretty high mark. My colleague Thomas Floyd felt like it had a huge plot hole (which it sounded to me like…

Alright here’s what you got Hannah Montana Are you a screaming 12 year old? Alright then. Dragonball Poor reviews, trailer looks bad. Those combined usually means a bad movie. I loved the Dragonball Z show, but I think this is the type of thing destined to be watched one lazy afternoon at home. Observe and…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan (4/4/09)
I’d go with Monsters Vs. Aliens if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s fun and in 3-D and fairly well reviewed. Adventureland has also gotten some good reviews, so that may be worth a look, but you probably should not go expecting another Superbad, from what I’ve deciphered from the reviews I’ve read. Do not…

What Should I See Tonight, Dan? (3/28/09)
I’d go with Monsters Vs. Aliens, it’s got a pretty good score on Rottentomatoes and depending on what theatres are next to you, you might be able to see in 3-D. It seems The Haunting in Connecticut is your typical not-scary horror, and it’s gotten bad reviews. 12 Rounds wasn’t screened for critics but actually…

What Should I See Tonight Dan? (3/20/09)
Right now I’m saying I Love You, Man is probably your best bet. It’s currently at 80% on Rottentomatoes and is written and directed by John Hamburg (sharing writing with Larry Levin). Hamburg was behind the pretty funny Along Came Polly. Man also stars Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, who have both proven themselves as…
