Well alright, alright, alright. Sometimes it seems as if a particular actor is destined to play a particular role. While I can’t be certain about the cosmic machinations of the universe, I’m fairly certain Matthew McConaughey was put into this world to play the lead role in Harmony Korine’s The Beach Bum. Watch the new trailer and tell me I’m wrong.

Movie Review: The Coen Brothers' 'Hail, Caesar!'
Any time Joel and Ethan Coen make a movie, it’s going to be
an event that captures my attention, and such is case with Hail, Caesar!. A bouncy, energetic dalliance into the Hollywood studio
system of the 1950s, this is a well-meaning romp full of whip-cracking dialogue
that only the Coens can pull off, homages to the classic genres of yesteryear,
and quirky characters that would become stilted in the hands of any other
filmmakers.

'22 Jump Street' Movie Review
As far as big, blockbuster type movies go, this summer has a
noticeable lack of notable comedies. “Neighbors” was great, “A Million Ways toDie in the West” was mediocre, and “Tammy” looks terrible—which is too bad,
because Melissa McCarthy is so damn funny. The only other member of this club
is “22 Jump Street,” the sequel to 2012’s surprise hit. While I laughed a
decent amount, and there are some very good moments, the film pales in
comparison to its predecessor, and when taken as a whole, is not a particularly
great movie.

'This Is The End' Movie Review
Does
watching a bunch of foul-mouthed, weed-smoking, pill-popping celebrities attempt
to survive the end of the world sound like a good time? If it does, your summer
just took a significant upturn with This is the End, the
directorial debut from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the dynamic duo behind
Superbad and Pineapple Express. Not only
are we talking about an apocalyptic tale, this is also the vulgar, balls out,
R-rated comedy you’ve waiting for. (The Hangover Part III
was a miserable failure on that front.) Just because this is exactly what you
expect it to be—raunchy, improvised humor—doesn’t make it any less of a
freaking blast.

'21 Jump Street' Movie Review
In the year of our lord two-thousand-and-twelve, did anyone expect there to be a
“21 Jump Street” movie? Were people clamoring for a “21 Jump Street” movie? Has some obscure cable network been playing re-runs of the 80s teen cop drama, stirring up a rabid underground network of fans chanting “Jump Street”, “Jump Street”, “Jump Street”? And what’s more, possibly the biggest of these questions, did anyone actually expect “21 Jump Street” to be really good? Because it is. I’m as surprised as anyone. I anticipated a complete and utter disaster, but it’s serious laughs from beginning to end.

'Moneyball' Movie Review
“Peace to Oakland, I’ve never been a fan of the A’s”
—Blue Scholars
At the heart of Bennett Miller’s new film “Moneyball” is the story of a little guy going against the grain, challenging established norms and mores, and trying to indelibly alter the world around him. “Moneyball” is the story of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, who, in the early 2000s, turned his back on 150 years of traditional baseball wisdom, and adopted a radically new approach to assembling a team.
