Review of Hysteria (2011)

Review of Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 30 May 2012

Review of Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 27 May 2012

Bandit has a pronounced Southern charm and smash-em fervor that aids in the digestion of an otherwise overly silly enterprise that's way too…

Review of Men in Black 3 (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 23 May 2012

Review of Encino Man (1992)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 20 May 2012

Encino Man is frighteningly dated, but it was never made to be timeless. I just wish the picture had more laughs or instinctive madness…

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 16 May 2012

Review of Bernie (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 16 May 2012

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 16 May 2012

Perhaps its fatigue with Cohen's comedic impulses or some good old-fashioned lazy writing, but The Dictator, while occasionally hilarious,…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 10 May 2012

Review of First Position (2011)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 10 May 2012
