‘Identity Thief’
0 CommentsPosted by XtreamerAdmin on under Featured
The new comedy Identity Thief stars Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman as two very different people forced to trek from Florida to Denver to settle a score. Nothing unusual there given McCarthy's rising star status and Bateman's reputation as Hollywood's go-to guy for droll humor. The filmmakers still managed to squeeze in a slam at flyover country in between the yuks and car chases. A supp... more. -

‘Warm Bodies’ Review
1 CommentsPosted by XtreamerAdmin on February 4, 2013 under Featured
Warm Bodies suggests what the Twilight films might have been if the Twilight films didn’t, you know, suck. This movie is also a tale of forbidden young interspecies love, but it’s self-aware and funny and really charming. Basically, it’s a reworking of Romeo and Juliet (there’s even a balcony scene) with zombies. But the traditional zombie lore has been cleverly tweaked. Now, when the lurc... more.
