Haters gonna hate

thedrumbeat April 24, 2013

Hello, my name is Taylor, and I have an undeniable, chronic problem with intolerance. I’m not ashamed to admit it, and in fact, it makes for great dinner table conversation. I’ve slowly added to my...

Buffalo Chips: Evil Dead movie review

thedrumbeat April 19, 2013

Lord. Have. Mercy. The latest gross-out horror movie, ‘Evil Dead,’ rated R and released April 5, drags you to hell and back and dares you to keep your eyes open. The plot goes like this: a few friends...

Buffalo Chips: Olympus has Fallen Movie Review

thedrumbeat April 9, 2013

These days, it’s a pretty fair assessment to say that action movies suck—horrendously suck—in diabolical ways. I wonder if we could ever return to the days before the Arnold became the “govuhnah”...

21 And Over movie review

thedrumbeat March 19, 2013

Exactly a year after “Project X” blew the college humor genre out of the water, along comes a movie that drags its feet in the shadow of its predecessor. Another notch in the bedpost of party movies,...

Mama Review

thedrumbeat February 24, 2013

Something stinks like rotten movie, and I’m pretty sure it’s not Nicholas Sparks’ newest atrocity. Perhaps the worst movie I’ve ever had the not-so privilege of reviewing, “Mama,” directed...

Warm Bodies

thedrumbeat February 15, 2013

Step aside, vampires—you’ve got yourself a worthy, rotting opponent. “Warm Bodies,” released on February 1, is a tongue-in-cheek dark comedy that makes the notion of flirting with a zombie a no-brainer...

Valentine’s Day Can Bite My…

thedrumbeat February 11, 2013

Oh joy and rapture: the most unnecessary and unhealthy day of overcompensation to ever go commercial rears its ugly head once again. It is a holiday that forces you to slap on a smile and shell out major...

Buffalo Chips: Movie Review – Cloud Atlas

thedrumbeat November 19, 2012

Finally, a movie appears with a little bit of originality that doesn’t involve a five-film contract.  In the three-ring circus of a movie, “Cloud Atlas,” released Oct. 26 and rated R, will have...

Buffalo Chips – Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 4

thedrumbeat October 26, 2012

Well, here we go again—the groan-inducer heard ‘round the world.  Just when you thought three was a magic number, an unwelcome and unnecessary fourth installment to the “redrum” redeeming series has...

Buffalo Chips – Movie Review: 2016: Obama’s America

thedrumbeat September 27, 2012

With elections coming up President Obama has been presenting to the people his plans for future America...again. America wanted a leader that had a vision for change and they invested their hope in a...

Facebook Kills Celebrities. Sort of.

thedrumbeat September 17, 2012

The other night, I was scrolling through Facebook as usual when all of the sudden I saw it. I couldn’t believe it. Was it true? Of course it was—everything on the internet is real. Morgan Freeman...

Buffalo Chips – Movie Review: The Possession

thedrumbeat September 17, 2012

Is it just me, or am I getting the vibe that Hollywood really  has run out of ideas? Seriously, this time they have. There’s no big need for me to explain the movie because it’s so formulated. Basically,...
