This is the End

by Jason Lightner June 19th, 2013 | Comedy, Movie Reviews
titeBefore we begin our review, we need to establish one simple fact: I love Seth Rogen.

The Internship

by Ronald A. Rowe June 12th, 2013 | Comedy, Movie Reviews
internshipThe guys from Wedding Crashers are back at it. The duo of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson worked so well together once, so why not give them another vehicle for their charming on-screen chemistry?

The Internship is a comedy about two downsized salesmen (Billy and Nick) who inexplicably get the chance to compete with a hoard of 100 college geniuses for a chance at five available paid positions with the great white whale of cool workplaces, Google. Forced to team up with four lovable young geeks, Billy and Nick embark on a team-building adventure in an effort to overcome the
