In addition to some newer rental releases, I also sat down to watch some older films, including Ninja Assassin and Whiteout. Ninja Assassin A few minutes into the film a group soon to be massacred is presented with an envelope filled with black sand (whatever that means). It may be subtler than a tornado, but […]
Read more "A Delayed Response – Ninja Assassin; Whiteout"A few years back a couple of my friends and I took a trip to our respective hometowns, and upon arriving in Iowa I made the mistake of saying that it smelled like poo, to which I got an immediate retort full of aggression. You may not guess it based on the stagnate setting, but […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Crazies (2010)"The first non-micro budget feature from the Duplass brothers keeps the realistic tone, gets great performances out of their leads, and knocks the humor out of the park when it tries to be funny. Now, don’t let that last bit scare you, this film is a comedy first and foremost but there are many quiet […]
Read more "Review: Cyrus"Despicable Me is a bland effort around an interesting idea that barely salvages itself from travesty with a pretty decent finale. The film follows Gru, a villain of the world who hasn’t had a note worthy diabolical scheme in some time. Added to this he has been recently upstaged by a young and upcoming villain, […]
Read more "Review: Despicable Me"When I speak of my love of the vampire genre I always throw out references to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Underworld, 30 Days of Night, True Blood…the list goes on and on. However, unless directly asked I would never admit to having read all of the Twilight novels in a week or owning one of […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – The Twilight Saga: Eclipse"Other than getting to eat my roommate’s cooking all the time, one of the best things that happened last year was her introducing me to Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show is full of fun episodes that form an epic adventure that spans all three seasons, is incredibly well written in concern to both […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – The Last Airbender"Throw together a lone figure with their own arsenal of weapons and a post apocalyptic world and you have the potential of a pretty cool film. But you also have the same description of about a billion other movies out today. Though we will trudge through the familiar in The Book of Eli, the end […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Book of Eli"The Last Airbender adaptation from the adored Nickelodeon show doesn’t really come together and I don’t think it will work for the loyal or uninitiated viewer. The film follows three plot lines, a brother and sister from the water kingdom, a exiled prince of the fire kingdom, and the last airbender who just so happens […]
Read more "Review: The Last Airbender"Hey guys! Lauren here with the news that I am going to be changing things up a bit on my end. The majority of the time I try to write a review for any movie that I am watching for the first time, but as I have been going on that has been getting a […]
Read more "A Delayed Response – Nine; The Young Victoria; Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV Series); Party Down"The third film in the quadrilogy (yes Breaking Dawn is splitting in two, but it is really one movie) known as The Twilight Saga, Eclipse is actually good, in fact it is really good, and is a huge step forward for the franchise before the finale. Now, the film takes no time to try and […]
