Cupid! Hey, Cupid! Come over here and shoot me. Right through my eye, please, because it would be less painful than having to watch Garry Marshall’s latest confectionary concoction. Valentine’s Day is already a manufactured holiday filled with cute rhymes in lacey cards, candied hearts that induce nausea, and flowers, flowers and more flowers. There’s little need for another gag-inducing love-fest unless it’s good. And Marshall’s Valentine’s Day is not.
The film ultimately seems an exaggerated actioner, but perhaps the cast can help bouy it above being completely forgettable.
I still think Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is the real wild-card here considering the popularity of the Baracus character (originally played by Mr. T), but Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper are looking pretty good. And this is definitely a better shot than that earlier spy one.

That would be (from left to right) Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as Sgt. “B.A.” Baracus, Liam Neeson as John “Hannibal” Smith, Sharlto Copley as Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock, and Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck on set in Vancouver. Pretty cool.
Rampage is no where near as good an actor as he [...]
You might wonder if Gamer and All About Steve are worth the cost of admission this weekend. You and us both. You see, Tim and I have a little confession to make. We’re not some powerhouse outlet drawing millions in advertising that allows us to lay back waiting for the next screening. Obviously, you would think that, right? We have day jobs, other commitments and hustle our pretty little asses off to make Popscorn a site you want to visit every week. So when an upcoming film screens just once at 10:30AM and the other doesn’t at all, you can see how bringing you an informative, appropriately salty look at that movie would be problematic. Instead, here’s an uninformed and overly salty opinion of these two illusive films we couldn’t see (and probably won’t).
Haven’t we all had a hangover that hits in the morning like a ton of bricks being dropped on your head one at a time? Over and over and over. You know how it happens — it starts with a toast, includes a couple rounds of shots, and ends with a vow to never, ever drink again. Even if you don’t remember the night itself, you almost certainly remember the feeling.
For the four hapless guys in The Hangover, that feeling is all too real. But the crazy happenings that took place also took one of their friends. Doug (Justin Bartha), the bachelor being celebrated, is M.I.A. on the morning of his wedding, which means his groomsmen are S.O.L. It’s what the groom does in Vegas that’s supposed to stay in the city, not the actual groom.
