As the film’s tagline goes, when 1.3 billion Chinese discover punk music, what happens? Chaos happens, that’s what.

On Her Majesty

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

Vintage Film

Not many people remember George Lazenby’s only performance as James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. However, since the film’s release in 1969, it has grown to be one of the definitive representations of the Bond series, thanks to its diehard fans, stylish cinematography and bare bones espionage structure.

Once Upon a Time in the West

Vintage Film

This classic may owe its existence to those that came before it, but it is still an undeniably fantastic Western in its own right.

The Other Guys | B+

Directed by Adam McKay

The Other Guys is definitely worth the money and would make a great date movie!

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World | B+

Directed by Edgar Wright

With plenty of over-the-top fight scenes and a quirky script, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of the most entertaining movies to have hit theaters this year.

love you leo!

Inception | A

Directed by Christopher Nolan

Dreams seem like random stories told through your own personal viewing glass, only to be forgotten about a few hours after waking up. But what if everything we know was shaken to its core?

love julia!

Eat Pray Love | C

Directed by Ryan Murphy

Brimming with scenes of beautiful places, delectable food and colorful people, Eat Pray Love treads lightly on the heavy issues facing a modern, successful woman.

death

Death at a Funeral | C+

Neil Labute

When the British Death at a Funeral debuted in 2007, the reception was only mild, with most of the comments addressing either the clever usage of black comedy or the awkward cohesion of the film in general.

losers

The Losers | C

Sylvain White

The Losers is an action adventure movie based on the award-winning comic book of the same name by Andy Diggle and Mark Simpson.

kick-ass

Kick-Ass | B-

Matthew Vaughn

Kick-Ass is a comic book movie based on the series of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The original series took an interesting and realistic look at what the world would be like if regular people decided to dress up as superheroes and fight crime.

how to train your dragon

Dean DeBlois/Chris Sanders

So how would you go about taming a ferocious, flying beast? It turns out all that’s needed is persistence, ingenuity and inflammable undergarments.

date night

Date Night | C+

Shawn Levy

Date Night will either meet or exceed your expectations; the trailers did little to instill confidence that it would be good, but the comedic talent of Tina Fey and Steve Carell offer hope.

Why Did I Get Married Too?

Why Did I Get Married Too? | D

Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too? is a sequel, but you don’t need to have watched 2007’s Why Did I Get Married? to understand what’s going on. In fact, you barely need to watch this one to understand what’s going on.

She

She’s Out of My League | B

Jim Field Smith

The story has been told a million times before, but She’s Out of My League still turns out to be a good romantic comedy. With its extremely predictable and very unbelievable plot, the movie doesn’t deserve any awards, but definitely serves its purpose as a lighthearted date movie.

Shutter Island

Shutter Island | B+

Martin Scorsese

While it’s no The Departed or Goodfellas, with Shutter Island, Scorsese has definitely cemented his place in a league all his own.

wolfman

The Wolfman | C-

Joe Johnston

The Wolfman is a remake of 1941’s movie of the same name. While the original was somewhat of a B-movie, it still had some decent character development to back up the action. The remake however, is all bark and no bite.
