Quick Review: Magic Mike (2012)

MAGIC MIKE BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLOCTOBER 19, 2013 Male strippers. You’re on board, or you’re not. Regardless, Steven Soderbergh steps behind this female fantasy inducing feature “Magic Mike” which is also a partial biopic about the early life of lead actor Channing Tatum. Relying heavily on the dances of the men involved, if you have any reservations about Chippendale dancers, steer clear of this film, … Read More Quick Review: Magic Mike (2012)

Movie Review: White House Down (2013)

WHITE HOUSE DOWN BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLJULY 5, 2013 As much as “White House Down” resembles “Olympus Has Fallen” from this year, they carry slight differences that make them both enjoyable.

However, having two films based around taking out the white house … Read More Movie Review: White House Down (2013)

Quick Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMARCH 29, 2013 With an unexpected turn in the first act, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” leaves little with which to work. Storm Shadow (played by Byung-hun Lee) steals the show even though his return is unexplained (see the first film). The story’s structure is shaky, adding a layer of padding to each punch, leaving no impact whatsoever. Dwayne Johnson carries … Read More Quick Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)

Movie Review: 21 Jump Street (2012)

21 JUMP STREET BY CHRISTOPHER HASKELLMARCH 25, 2012 “21 Jump Street” is hilarious. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum make the perfect comedic duo. Both actors prove themselves. Hill takes a step towards comedic maturity and becomes the staple of the film with perfectly timed retorts and off-the-wall wit that graces every scene. At the same time, Channing Tatum proves that he’s not just a … Read More Movie Review: 21 Jump Street (2012)
