Posted by SoberFilmChick on Wednesday, February 3, 2016, In : 0.12% Hard Liquor 
Fifty Shades of Black





Directed by:  Michael Tiddes

Starring: Marlon Wayans, Kali Hawk, Jane Seymour, Mike Epps, Affion Crockett, and Jenny Zigrino


As I was leaving a showing of Fifty Shades of Black, an irate woman remarked, “Is it too late to get my money back?”  That question succinctly sums up my thoughts on Fifty Shades and I could literally end my review with that question.  But alas, Sobriety Test Movie Reviews must analyze Marlon Wayans’ spoof of Fifty Shades of Grey.  Fifty Shades ...

What We Do in the Shadows





Directed By: Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement


Starring: Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, Rhys Darby, Jonathan Brugh, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, and Stu Rutherford

Vampire movies have been getting increasingly creative over the last several years.  2013's Kiss of the Damned wasn't particularly enjoyable, but it certainly broke the mold for vampire flicks.  Last year's post-modern drama Only Lovers Left Alive gave us some cool vampires portrayed by Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddlesto...

A Haunted House 2





Directed By: Michael Tiddes


Starring: Marlon Wayans, Jaime Pressly, Essence Atkins, Gabriel Iglesias, and Cedric the Entertainer

I've been loathing this weekend on my review calendar for quite some time, for quite some time.  I knew that the completely unwarranted follow-up to Marlon Wayans's A Haunted House would be arriving in theaters on this weekend.  I knew that a horrendous, trashy film was on my docket.  I knew that I'd be a simultaneously embarrassed and pissed off movi...

REVIEW: With Vacuum Cleaners Partying, Erica Ash Ghettoizing Black Swan, and Morgan Freeman Narrating, Scary Movie 5 is Just Plain Weird

Scary Movie 5





Directed By: Malcolm D. Lee

Starring: Ashley Tisdale, Simon Rex, Erica Ash, Molly Shannon, Heather Locklear, J.P. Manoux, Jerry O'Connell, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, and Morgan Freeman

How many times have you gone to an R-rated film and been appalled to see parents bringing their kids to the theater?  I've honestly lost count at this point.  Whether it be some violent, bloody horror flick or the latest rude and crude comedy, we've all sadly been there.  It's needless to say that...

REVIEW: Paranormal Activity Spoof A Haunted House Keeps Its Eye on Sex, Not Comedy

A Haunted House





Directed By: Michael Tiddes

Starring: Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Cedric the Entertainer, Nick Swardson, David Koechner, and Dave Sheridan

Horror movies are bad enough on their own these days.  There's absolutely no need to make matters worse by making spoofs of these often horrible flicks.  It's absolutely pointless.  The only evidence I need to justify my position is that there is a Scary Movie 5 coming this year.  Nothing more needs to be said to make my case.  However,...

REVIEW: Norman May Be a Freak, But ParaNorman Freakin' Rocks

ParaNorman





Directed By: Sam Fell and Chris Butler

Starring: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, John Goodman, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elaine Stritch

In recent years, animated films have been walking a fine line.  They keep the kiddies entertained with the silly stuff, but they incorporate nuggets of humor for the adults that should fly right over the kids' heads.  If mom and dad are forced to go see a cartoon about an ogre in a world o...
