5 word movie review - Cars 2
—cars die when they explode—
anything/10 (Honestly, this movie is like Who’s Line is it Anyway. Everything’s made up and the points don’t matter. The points don’t matter because kids will love it without questioning. And the plot seems totally made up.)
Star race car Lightning McQueen and his pal Mater head overseas to compete in the World Grand Prix race....

I will own the space next door to Tatters/Herkimers and turn it back into a cinema. I’ll replace the broken marquee and get big lights that say it’s name: “Royal Cinema.” Royal after my favorite movie, The Royal Tenebaums. Or maybe “Sunshine Cinema,” after Eternal Sunshine. And I will screen the best movies I can think of for really cheap. It will also have a...

5 word movie review: The Hangover II
-Carbon copy, not as funny.-
6/10 (that’s a good score, considering it’s a sequel AND is obviously trying too hard to recreate the magic of the original.)

Director: Todd Phillips...
