Cars 2 was an interesting movie. A followup to Pixar’s Cars, this movie was an entertaining watch, however it’s not what I’d expect from Pixar. It’s almost like Micheal Bay took over Pixar for the making of this movie. Things explode and things don’t always make sense. That isn’t to say this is a More >

This monkey is boss
The original Hangover is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Its humor straddles a line between raunchy and clever that I found infinitely amusing to watch, and each time I re-watch it, I’ll discover something that I missed, or see a part I had forgotten about but still More >
