Zach Johnson April 22, 2015

This weekend, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, the sequel to one of the worst comedies I've ever seen in my life, played at 3,633 theaters across our glorious nation. Now, considering that sequels are almost unequivocally...

Zach Johnson April 14, 2015

Redbox Review: Tusk

Zach Johnson February 24, 2015

Everybody watch the Oscars? They were surprisingly fun, and I was caught off guard by some of the Academy's picks. I kind of assume the ceremony will always put me to sleep, but it was actually a good...

Film Review: Nightcrawler

Zach Johnson February 10, 2015

Okay, I swear this is the last time I'll write a Redbox Review about a film that isn't currently available for you beautiful readers to rent for another month or two. To be fair, you would do the same...
