Expanding on his short film, Shane Acker creates a really solid film with 9 as it follows the journey of a group of dolls in a post-apocalyptic world; but unfortunately this is not enough to keep me from being slightly disappointed with the end result. As many have foretold before, man will eventually fall to […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – 9"Forgive me mom, because I am about to dole out a word you aren’t fond of numerous times. Does it count in my favor that it isn’t spelled correctly? As far as I am concerned, Quentin Tarantino can rewrite everything we have learned from the history books, as long as he films his version. Though […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Inglourious Basterds"Duplicity has drawn a lot of comparisons to Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which does a great disservice to both films. Smith is the far superior film of the genre, and there is no way for Duplicity to reach its high level with this story, style, and quite frankly, the weaker acting. Duplicity follows two spies, […]
Read more "Rental Review – Duplicity"There is no doubt in my mind as to who Gamer is made for, and though I wish people would finally acknowledge that girls like both video games and action films, I will refrain from stewing on the number of boobs I had blown up in my face for the entirety of this film. Especially […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Gamer"Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical is a hilarious “examination” of the effects marijuana has on the youth of America in the 1930s, in musical form. Prepare to have your minds blown, because here comes some exposition of epic proportions (preempted by a little reaction of my own): After watching Reefer Madness I was a little […]
Read more "Rental Review – Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical"The Last House on the Left is a gratuitous (both nudity and violence wise), brutal look at what people are willing to do to those who harm their family, and unfortunately, takes this revenge plot a bit too far. During the summer, Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) and her family decide to vacation at their lake […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Last House on the Left (Unrated Edition)"Ang Lee’s latest is his lesser effort as of late as he starts off on the right foot but slowly dissolves into a bit of a mess with no narrative to speak of for the second half. Elliot Teichberg is a want a be artist living in New York City, only to see most of […]
Read more "Review: Taking Woodstock"This cute little independent picture has a good idea at its core, but has a bit too much cliché and uneven work by its lead to really stand out above being an average comedy. David Mitchell is a ladies man and he has a plan and he sticks to it no matter what. Not looking […]
Read more "Review: Play the Game"For all the romantic comedy highs and lows this summer has seen, Post Grad represents a lower point than I expected to reach. Sadly, for the viewing public, it is rare to see a romantic comedy that defies what is expected of it. Instead, most romcoms fit the description of being riddled with this genre’s […]
Read more "Now Playing Review – Post Grad"Quentin Tarantino’s latest is the long in development WWII epic that is not really a war film but a dialogue heavy affair like all of Tarantino’s work and the result is slow burn plot that builds amazing tension through fantastic characters all culminating in an explosive final act that could potentially re-write WWII history. Split […]
