It has been twenty years since Dumb and Dumber first arrived on the big screen, and ever since that moment, people have been wondering when the two greatest bumbling idiots of all time would return. Jim Carrey is notorious for abstaining from sequels, and Jeff Daniels has...

Terry Gilliam is notorious for being weird. His films, which are always highlighted by bright colors, intermittent otherworldly CGI sequences and personalities so bizarre you never fully like them, have become a point of great intrigue for many movie viewers. In the past, Terry...

I'm going to start off this article by clearing the air right up front. By no means am I, or have I ever been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, so before everyone jumps down my throat for being just another pissed off superfan, I will assure you that I am not. If I'm being...

July 7, 2014

When I first saw the trailer for “Tammy,” one thing crossed my mind. Does Melissa McCarthy play the same character in every single movie? You know what I’m talking about. She’s a big girl with a big personality who wears T-shirts and sweatpants and who, despite what she...
