Unstoppable

Unstoppable

First and foremost, the title of this film is a lie. Hopefully, I didn't spoil the ride for anyone. Just thought I'd speak the truth. Beyond that, Unstoppable is much more entertaining than I thought it would be. Loosely based on a true story, Unstoppable is an actioneer about two railroad workers w... [More]

Skyline

Skyline

Skyline is an alien invasion thriller that shamelessly borrows elements from stronger films (i.e. War of the Worlds, Independence Day, Signs, District 9, Cloverfield, and The Matrix). These elements are then thrown into a blender and regurgitated back on the screen for your viewing pleasure. The ear... [More]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

For those of you who feel the Harry Potter film franchise is strictly for fans of the books, your opinion probably won't change after watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. And in fact, most of the folks I've talked to who are fans of the books are very smitten with this latest instal... [More]

MegaMind

MegaMind

Scarcely three months after the release of the successful Despicable Me (which, unfortunately, I didn't get to see) comes Megamind, a fun little twist on super hero mythology. Will Ferrell voices Megamind, a super villain who can't seem to escape the looming shadow of beloved superhero Metro Man (vo... [More]

Tangled

Tangled

There really aren't a whole lot of things to not like about Disney's charming new animated feature Tangled. It offers up well executed computer animation, a goofy spirit that both children and adults will embrace, a spunky heroine brimming with childlike innocence, a wicked villain, an entertaining...

127 Hours

127 Hours

This latest effort from gifted director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) is a harrowing tale of survival. Based on a terrifying incident involving real life canyoneer Aron Ralston, 127 Hours opens with the adrenalin junkie hiking through the canyons of Moab, Utah. After an unfortunate slip, the e...

Waiting For Superman

Waiting For Superman

This stirring documentary explores the trials and tribulations of the public school system both from personal and political points of view. Specifically, it follows a handful of less fortunate children as they navigate through a less than stellar education system. Their concerned parents will do jus... [More]

Let Me In

Let Me In

For several reasons I cannot entirely explain, this Americanized version of the fantastic Swedish import Let the Right One In, really works. The reason I'm surprised is because much of this film is a beat for beat redo. This fact has led some to call Let Me In unnecessary. For me though, there's e... [More]

Jackass 3D

Jackass 3D

The Jackass crew is back and they're coming at you in glorious 3D! And right up front, let it be known that if you are at all bothered by excessive full frontal male nudity, you may have a hard time sitting through Jackass 3D. There's more male genitalia on display in this movie then there were bare... [More]

Paranormal Activity 2

Paranormal Activity 2

While some might argure that Paranormal Activity 2 is more of the same, its still eerily effective. This is because original PA helmer Oren Peli (on hand as a producer here) and PA2 director Tod Williams (The Door in the Floor) were smart enough to take what worked the first time around and amplify...

Hereafter

Hereafter

Veteran film maker Clint Eastwood ponders life and death with his latest directorial effort Hereafter, a trio of tales involving a woman who survives a Tsunami, a man who consorts with the afterlife, and a young boy who must emotionally deal with the loss of a loved one. At 80 years old, Eastwood is... [More]

Saw 3D

Saw 3D

For those of you who thought The Social Network was misogynistic wait until you get a load of the first five minutes of the latest entry in the increasingly tired Saw franchise. Two young men caught in one of Jigsaw's sinister traps must decide whether or not to kill each other, or let the high tec... [More]

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom

This Aussie import is surprisingly quiet given its subject matter. It tells the story of seventeen year old Josh (James Frecheville) who, following the death of his mother, struggles to co-exist with a family of criminals. While the synopsis at IMDB might lead one to believe this is a film along the... [More]

The Social Network

The Social Network

The Social Network is an intellectual thriller of sorts. Its talkie and dense but the gifted David Fincher shoots the film as if it were a thriller. The end result is, perhaps, the best movie of the year (alongside Christopher Nolan's Inception). Featuring a razor sharp script by Aaron Sorkin (based... [More]

Machete

Machete

In a perfect, exploitative cinematic world, Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3D and Robert Rodriguez's wildly entertaining Machete would have been slapped together and released as Grindhouse 2. Alas, this isn't the aforementioned cinematic world, so we'll have to settle for both films on their own. And that'... [More]
