Guest Reviews: Battle L.A. and Cowboys & Aliens

Battle: Los Angeles If there’s ever a competition for most clichés piled up in one movie, Battle Los Angeles is the clear winner.

FlixChatter Review: The Rise of the Planet of the Apes

As I said in my weekend roundup post, this film was such a pleasant surprise as I really wasn't that interested in seeing it. In fact, when the trailer came out a few months ago, I quickly dismissed it, saying that it looked ridiculous and so darn obvious that the apes will go y'know, ape-sh*t …

Weekend Roundup: Somewhere and Super 8

You can call it the 'Elle Fanning movie weekend' 😀 I had never seen her in anything, and suddenly within one weekend, I saw two movies starring Dakota's 13-year-old little sister. I didn't think I'd have time to see two movies this weekend given how busy things got, but we had to watch Somewhere as …
