Doug Reviews: Jurassic World
The original Jurassic Park worked so well not only because of the dazzling dinosaur effects—which still hold up today—but because the film adapted a fantastic sci-fi thriller and had characters the audience cared about. Jurassic World…well, it has good looking dinosaurs at least. Continue reading

Does her latest, Spy, keep the pattern going or does it signal another downturn in the quality of McCarthy’s work? Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Entourage
Movies based on TV shows are tricky things.

Then there are movies like Entourage. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: Aloha
After seeing the trailer for Writer-Director Cameron Crowe’s Aloha, I was really excited to see a really well done adult comedy/drama about a guy trying to restart his life and win back his old flame while taking nuggets of advice from his eccentric boss. It’s too bad that the movie that ended up on the screen is nothing like that. Continue reading
