Piranha 3D
starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames, Elisabeth Shue, Christopher Lloyd, Eli Roth, Jerry O’Connell, Steven R. McQueen, Kelly Brook, Adam Scott, Riley Steele

Upon first seeing the trailer for Piranha 3D, my jaw dropped and I wondered at how anyone could finance such an obvious piece of crap, much less pay for a movie [...]
An Epic in all its 8-Bit Glory
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
starring Michael Cera, Alison Pill, Johnny Simmons, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Hader, Clifton Collins Jr., Thomas Jane

Maximum Testosterone
The Expendables
starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Charisma Carpenter, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis

Buddy Cop Flick FTW!
The Other Guys
starring Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Rob Riggle, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Eva Mendes

Inception
starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Marion Cotillard, Pete Postlethwaite, Michael Caine

Despicable Me
starring Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Jemaine Clement, Danny McBride
directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud
Despicable Me caught my interest early on for three distinct reasons; first off, I’m always complaining about how unoriginal film making has become and Despicable Me’s protagonist is actually a [...]
