Letterboxd — Your life in film

"Project X" is like a lifetime of good and bad party memories thrown into one gigantic pile. It is a teenager to twenty-something's wet dream of irresponsible partying. It is a dart board of ideas but the trouble is, as crazy as the party gets out of control, it never seems that outrageous or totally over the top. Sure, some insane stuff happens, like a little person jumping out of an oven or a guy with a flame-thrower burning down…

There is some ferocious potential in the character of Ghost Rider but for one reason or another each live-action attempt has been hindered. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is a prime example Columbia has yet to embrace and allow the character to flourish as he should. This ridiculous installment hurts a little more considering directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor were hired and have the background to bring the right kind of edge to Johnny Blaze. In actuality, Neveldine/Taylor (as…

Our teenage years can be awkward. Not just the hormones and the changes our bodies are going through but the whole aspect of teen identity. That question we all ask ourselves, who am I and where do I fit in? For some, this part of life may come a little easier than others, but regardless we all go through it. "Chronicle" takes a interesting look at the question by focusing on three high school teens who form a friendship after…

"Zombieland" is a heaping good time. Director Ruben Fleischer put together a laugh-out-loud zombie comedy that is centered around two perfect characters played by Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. Scene after scene in "Zombieland" tickles your funny bone, while also providing some great kills for traditional horror fans. "Zombieland" is fast paced, loaded with hysterical situations and a movie that instantly becomes one of my new favorites.

Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick deserve a ton of credit for writing…

Kevin Smith directs a hilarious story that has alot of heart mixed with some really side splitting smut. Clearly, with "Porno" in the title you know from the start your in for some nudity and raunchy humor, Smith however does a great job of not overloading the viewer with nudity and vulgarity. Instead, he relys heavily on a couple of his finer qualities of film making, dialogue and character development. Kevin Smith is a genius at writting dialogue that just…

Adapted from the popular C.D. Payne novel of the same name "Youth in Revolt" is a comical coming of age tale that does a solid job of capturing teenage emotion and angst. The teen comedy is filled with well timed laughs, hilarious scenarios and some quality performances from the entire cast.

Michael Cera delivers his best performance to date in dual roles. I am a fan of Cera, but have grown tired of his routine character. Luckily here in "Youth…

"Your Highness" is crass, juvenile and obscene. The comedy adventure is an acquired taste, meaning it is not for everyone (especially not kids or Roger Ebert) but amidst all the vulgarities it succeeds in playing parody to the fantasy genre of film. At its core, the Danny McBride written comedy is a simple spoof film. What makes this spoof comedy a tad bit out of the normal is that is doesn't have to label what it is riffing on. We've…

You Don't Mess With the Zohan, directed by Dennis Dugan (Problem Child, Saving Silverman, and The Benchwarmers), feels like a film funnyman Adam Sandler would have made ten years ago. It is filled with very childish humor, laced with sexual innuendous, and the character seems far too similar to the likes of Waterboy, Billy Madison, and his old SNL characters Opera Boy or Canteen Boy. Zohan is filled with cheap laughs throughout, most which fall flat and is overall, only…
