Standing in the shadow of a man like David Fincher is never easy. Plunking yourself there by tackling material you’re ill-equipped to handle is just begging for a flogging, one we’re happy to give.

Holy hot sauce! It’s a double dip!

Sam Rockwell and Viggo Mortensen arrive at the Cinevegas Half-Life Awards, where they were both honored.

They both have that brooding, tortured, “I’m too talented for my own good” thing going on…and it’s so tantalizing!

If you haven’t seen Viggo (and his peen) in all his murderous naked rage in Eastern Promises, that needs to go to the top of your Netflix queue.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
