Plot: “Moonrise Kingdom” revolves around a pair of young lovers who flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out and find them. The search party consists of a humorous group: Edward Norton as Boy Scout Master Ward, Bruce Willis as the loser cop Captain Sharp, and Bill Murray and Frances … Continue reading
Episode 6 of the 7th Season of “Dexter” might have been the best ep. so far outside of the season premier. Everything is slowly coming together and you can tell the writers have a couple serious tricks hidden up their sleeves. Highlights: 1) There was a whole lotta Harry in this episode. In The Audio … Continue reading
I’ve been slacking hard on the post-grind as of late and as a result, haven’t been keeping up with my Dexter reviews. I’m about to watch the 6th episode of the season which I’ll review tonight, but I wanted to do a quick recap about my favorite things in the 4th and 5th episodes of … Continue reading
As I’ve mentioned previously on The Audio Dope, I don’t have a bad thing to say about either of Ben Affleck’s first two directorial efforts: “Gone Baby Gone” and “The Town”. As a result I had some high expectations for Affleck’s third film, “Argo”, which were unfortunately not met. To begin, by no means is … Continue reading
We apologize for no “Dexter” review last week after the second episode of the seventh season. Before we review Episode 3, The Audio Dope wanted to give our quick take on Episode 2. Episode 2: After one of the greatest season premiers of all-time, episode 2 never had a chance at matching its predecessor in … Continue reading
The Audio Dope was spawned in the early summer of 2012. As a result we’ve never been able to review one of our favorite shows (my personal favorite show on television), “Dexter”. The Season 7 premier marked the return of America’s favorite serial killer after one of the most climactic season finales that left everything … Continue reading
Caught a $5-matinee (love those) of “Hit and Run” starring Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, and Bradley Cooper today. I figured since it was raining I might as well pass a little time with a quick 1hr 36 minute movie that should at least be a little entertaning. Unfortunately 1hr and 36 minutes wasn’t quick enough. … Continue reading
“The Watch” has been a project I’ve personally been pumped about for the past two years. Originally called “The Neighborhood Watch” (Changed the name after the Trayvon Martin case), the film looked like a perfect vehicle to re-energize the careers of Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. Unfortunately “The Watch” not only bombed at the box-office, but also … Continue reading
Anytime a guy like Will Ferrell puts out a movie, it’s hard not to have some expectations. When films like “Old School”, “Anchorman”, and “Step Brothers” are capable of making me cry from laughter, you would think “The Campaign” would have some redeeming values. Unfortunately this wasn’t really the case. Don’t get me wrong, “The … Continue reading
The Audio Dope became a fan of The Newsroom the night its pilot premiered almost two months ago. We loved seeing the news team report real/historical events that occurred in the past (BP oil spill). After the episode ended, we all discussed what major news events we were most excited to see take place on … Continue reading
While Aaron Sorkin’s HBO series The Newsroom has been receiving decent viewer ratings every week, the show is still receiving heavy criticism and scrutiny from critics. Regardless of his motives, Sorkin has officially fired all but one of the members of his writing staff. Perhaps Sorkin feels if The Newsroom is going to last multiple … Continue reading
I’ve been waiting for The Dark Knight Rises to come out since 3am July 18th 2008 when I walked out of The Dark Knight midnight premier. After four years of anticipation, it is quite bizarre to be writing a review of Christopher Nolan’s latest and final installment in his Batman trilogy. Strange to believe four … Continue reading
Viewers took to Twitter and Facebook following the fourth episode of The Newsroom to express praise for Aaron Sorkin’s latest installment in the new HBO drama series. A majority of The Audio Dope thought Episode 4 of The Newsroom was one of the best yet; I beg to differ. To be frank and brief: Episode 4 of … Continue reading
Aaron Sorkin managed to keep The Audio Dope interested for at least one more weekend with the third episode of his new HBO series The Newsroom. After a train wreck of a second episode, The Newsroom’s third episode definitely set the series back on track. While the newest chapter in Sorkin’s drama was definitely an … Continue reading
When news of the Spiderman reboot hit the web (pun intended), I was definitely skeptical to say the least. Not only was it just half a decade since the previous Spiderman franchise, it also reeked of Hollywood corporate greed looking to make money off another superhero movie. Overall The Audio Dope was satisfied leaving the … Continue reading
