Watson’s Review of “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance”
“Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” is an absolute headache, and I’m not just talking about the sloppy 3D. What I am talking about is a furiously mediocre sequel-slash-reboot to a comic-book stinker from 2007 that saw Nicolas Cage wearing shiny … Continue reading

Watson’s Review of ‘Chronicle’
Josh Trank’s “Chronicle” further intensifies the stigma of being a creepy loner, almost as much as Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” and Michael Powell’s “Peeping Tom” did all the way back in 1960. The only difference here is that the creepy loner … Continue reading

Watson reviews Martin Scorsese’s Hugo

What We’re Listening To (12/5/11)
The Black Keys–El Camino In this Danger Mouse-produced follow-up to “Brothers,” The Black Keys seems to be doing something a little different, and that’s great. A few people may see this as a complete transgression from their previous work, but … Continue reading

Watson Reviews “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, pt. 1″
