Alvin and the Chipmunks Review

Alvin and the Chipmunks Review

You know who they are. Three cute Chipmunks, that sing cute songs, and act all cute and shit (in this movie they took that last part a bit too literally) and their ever suffering writer/father figure. Add in an evil record mogul and you’ve got the latest incarnation of “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. They’ve [...]

PS, I Love You
or
How I Was Bribed With Sex To Watch A Hilary Swank Film.
I’d love to tear this movie apart in a long winded diatribe full of $15 words lamenting the demise of film, pop culture and romance as we know it, but the Ill try to keep it as simple as possible because [...]

Sweeney Todd Review

Sweeney Todd Review

Hey guys, sorry this wasn’t posted yesterday, Christmas done caught up with me.

What can you say about a movie that has revenge, secret identities, cannibalism and more throat slashings than your local meat packing plant? When it’s directed by dreary genius Tim Burton and starring his two favorite muses in Johnny Depp and (Burton’s lady, [...]

I AM LEGEND gave me bowel cancer!

I AM LEGEND gave me bowel cancer!

I’ve had a reoccurring dream since I was a boy that involves humanity’s extinction here on earth. Ok, honestly… this dream is more like a fantasy, and by Earth I mean Macy’s or some giant department store, and by extinction I mean “I’m inside while they’re closed for the night”. Perhaps [...]

Review: I Am Legend

Review: I Am Legend

Geez. First let me apologize for the lack of December reviews.
Our bad. Best not to dwell. Onto the reviews.
“I am Legend” is not the movie you were promised. Veiled attempts at depth, CGI monsters that couldn’t fool a child, Wal-Mart scare tactics, and superfluous extra characters make this adaptation fall [...]

Review: Hitman

Review: Hitman

Sorry Gillman, this movie has nothing to do with Bret Hart, you can stop reading now. As for everyone else though…..
If you know me personally, you will know that I am a bit of a video game junkie. I spend a few hours a day when I have free time rotting away those precious [...]

Review: Juno

Review: Juno

“That ain’t no etch-a-sketch. That’s one doodle that can’t be un-did, homeskillet.”

Yes! Finally a movie I can recommend to my friends without any disclaimers!
I feel as if the season has been filled with trailers portraying either too much of the production’s plot or a mix of footage that isn’t the finished film at all. [...]

Stephen King’s The Mist

Stephen King’s The Mist

Stephen King + Frank Darabont (typically) = SUCCESS
“The Mist” marks the third time Mr. Darabont has written and directed a Stephen King adaptation, previously scribing and helming “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” (he also produced “Green Mile” and “The Mist”). Both of those films were nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay [...]

No Country For Old Men

No Country For Old Men

The Coen Brothers have a long history of great films. I’ve been a fan of their’s for many years and went into this one with high expectations. I try not to do that with many film makers, but they usually don’t disappoint me, and they didn’t here. Though this film is missing some of their [...]

Review: Beowulf

Review: Beowulf

How does one become a warrior? All it takes is an arrangement of warriors, a pair of brass gahones, and the ability to rip apart your enemies while yelling your own name, “I am Beowulf!”
Well, I hadn’t intended to see this flick, but I had a few hours last night before my 12 a.m. [...]

Review: August Rush

Review: August Rush

After I got past the clichéd, unbelievable romantic encounter of cellist Lyla [Keri Russell] and rocker Lewis [Jonathan Rhys Myers]—the love-at-first-sight and then girl gets pregnant thing is so annoying and overdone– I settled in with the complete fairytale of August Rush.
August Rush has all the elements one seeks in a fairytale: the princess [Lyla], [...]

Review: American Gangster

Review: American Gangster

Pheww…
After a busy week of surprise family visits, 12 hour days of class, and the relentless torment of bills, there’s nothing like going to a theatre, sitting in the dark, and taking in a movie.
Or so I thought.
I’m gonna kick this off with a rather bold statement; I don’t really like mobster flicks. It’s [...]
