About a week ago, I finally got around to watching Hot Tub Time Machine 2. My advice to you: Don’t. Especially if, like me, you were both a fan of the original movie, as well as of franchise newcomer Adam Scott (Parks & Recreation). Luckily, Scott has a promising new R-rated comedy swinging coming out soon in The Overnight, which …
Did you have a hard time believing the news that Jesse Eisenberg, that kid from The Social Network who spoke like an aggro Woody Allen, was going to be the new Lex Luthor? Well, then you may just find your plausibility stretched even further to know that he’s now also a super-spy action hero. Who just so happens to also …
The other day when we mentioned the names of directors on the shortlist to direct the new Spider-Man movie, two of the names belonged to the writers-also-turned-first-time-directors duo of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Horrible Bosses, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone). Whether or not they’re right for a Spider-Man is still totally debateable, but when it comes to a reboot/sequel …
Let it not be said that the first Ted film was anything more than several Family Guy jokes recycled and trotted out with some foul language and an apparent distrust of thundah-storms.

And it has, in …
It’s been about a decade since I last really, really enjoyed a Vince Vaughn movie (Dodgeball for life, yo!). Sure, in the time since then I’ve often thought I would have a blast with a Vaughn vehicle (The Watch, I’m looking at you!), only to end up as disappointed as a pervert in CUM Book Store. Whether Unfinished Business is more of the same or …
When it comes to Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, I’m 50/50 on their movies. But it looks like those two halves might just have added up to a whole… lot of fun. And now that that horrible joke about fractions is out of the way, I can actually start talking about Get Hard, the upcoming comedy from the two comedians that actually …
Cloud gaming removed hardware barriers, but it replaced them with something less visible and …
