This review of the “Bridesmaids” appears on KTKA-49. Co-written by and starring “Saturday Night Live” standout Kristen Wiig, “Bridesmaids” is being marketed as “The Hangover” from a female perspective. It’s a nice shortcut, but there are a couple key differences. First off, despite a couple scenes with over-the-top and scatological humor, “Bridesmaids” is a little […]
Review of the new Criterion Collection Blu-rays of “Smiles of a Summer Night” and “Something Wild”
Eric Melin, Trey Hock, Trevan McGee (lawrence.com), Alan Rapp, and Aaron Weber (dadsbigplan.com) review Marvel’s new “Thor” 3D movie minutes after a screening in Kansas City. How is Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder? Do he and Natalie Portman have chemistry? Is Anthony Hopkins a good Odin? How does this borderline silly premise stand […]
This review of “Thor” appears on KTKA-49. Thor may be a God from Norse mythology, but the guy portrayed by Chris Hemsworth in the new fantasy-action movie “Thor” is based on “The Mighty Thor,” a Marvel comic that first appeared in 1962.

A lone tire becomes a sentient being and discovers that it has the ability to kill living creatures telepathically. That is, “Scanners”-style—in horror terminology—by making beings’ heads […]

The Top 10 most badass action scenes in cinema history.
This review of “The Green Hornet” 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack appears on KTKA-49. Well, all the buzz in the home video market this year has been around Blu-ray and 3D technology. With the pricing of HDTVs going down and their availability going up, Blu-rays are certainly catching on, but what will become of 3D at […]
This review of the “Fast Five” appears on KTKA-49. Supposedly, the fifth movie in the “Fast and Furious” franchise—titled “Fast Five”—takes place before the third movie, but after the fourth. If that sounds like it’s going to make this a tricky film to follow, don’t worry—it’s not. “Fast Five” is a dumb, ridiculous movie filled […]
