GUEST CRITIC: Think Like a Man Too
GUEST CRITIC: Think Like a Man Too

As busy I get from time to time, I find that I can't see every movie under the sun, leaving my friends and colleagues to fill in the blanks for me.  As poetically as I think I wax about movies on this website as a wannabe critic, sometimes a simple sentence or two from a friend says it all.  Sometimes, it inspires me to see the movie too and get back to being my circle's go-to movie guy.  Sometimes, they save me $9 and you 800+ words of blathering.  In a possible new review series, I'm opening my site to friend submissions for quick-hit movie reviews.

COLUMN: 2014 Early Summer Movie Preview

After an extremely slow winter and spring 2014 movie seasons, we've finally come to the power part of the order filled with events, tentpoles, and blockbusters.  Outside of "The Lego Movie" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," this year has been starved for a new hit.  The front-loaded first half of the two-part summer season looks to change all that.

MOVIE REVIEW: Ride Along
MOVIE REVIEW: Ride Along

"Ride Along" is a perfect vehicle for Kevin Hart's act.  By playing his big mouth against his little frame, the jokes are easy to make when you put them next to the bark and growl of Ice Cube.  Put them together in a cop movie and the jokes write themselves.  In a way, it's almost too easy because "Ride Along" becomes entirely too cliche and predictable to really appreciate.  It's in one ear and out the other.
