Snow White and the Huntsman

Get out your apples and magic birds, we're reviewing Snow White and the Huntsman!

When I first heard about Snow White and the Huntsmen, it sounded terrible. Then Mirror Mirror came out and it suddenly didn't sound so awful.  With more and more trailers of the unique effects, I was getting my hopes up that it would actually be good. Well, it turns out I got my hopes up a bit too much.

The Hunger Games

Hey folks, we got a special guest review by Noelle Loughran of The Hunger Games!
Katniss Everdeen, the Girl on Fire!


WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS! From what I can surmise from Noelle's review, enjoyed it overall, though the action scenes used too much shaky cam. I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds good! For the full spoiler-filled recap, especially for those who have already read the book, I'll leave it in Noelle's colorful hands!




Seriously you guys. Spoilers.

Hugo

Hugo is directed by the amazing Martin Scorsese, has an all-star cast, and has some of the most beautiful visuals of any movie this year. But is it a well-oiled machine, or is it just a jumbled mess of shiny parts?

Conan the Barbarian

Take out your swords and...you know what, fuck it. Let's just get this piece of shit over with.
THE SWORD IS HIS PENIS. GET IT?!
This is a terrible movie. There I saved you 11$. Strictly reserved for Netflix/redbox/cable where you can make fun of it while playing a drinking game(the drinking game being of course drink every time this movie is goddamn awful). You don't even need to read the rest of this review. It's just going to be me bitching about how bad this movie is. Spoiler Alert, y'know, if you want to be surprised at how awful it is or something.
