Homefront

The developers seemed to put all of their time into the setup and forgot that you need interesting characters too. Should have been great.

Jackass 3D, 2010

I’m not sure what I find funnier – the actual stunts or the cast’s apprehension leading up to the stunts. I can’t wait until Jackass 4.

Battle: Los Angeles, 2011

Cool action, too many overused war movie cliches. I liked the idea of focusing on one platoon during the invasion instead of going all ID4.

Rubber, 2010

Yes, this movie is about a tire with psychic abilities, but there’s a lot more going on than one would expect from a B-grade horror movie.

Faster, 2010

I was kind of surprised by this enjoyable throwback to the revenge thrillers of the 1970s. It didn’t waste any time and just got right to it.

Dogtooth, 2009

Amazingly creepy Oscar-nominated movie from Greece. So very strange and compelling. Horrific and hilarious at the same time. A real WTF ending.

Megamind, 2010

I was thoroughly entertained by this fun take on superheroes and supervillains. David Cross was great as Megamind’s sidekick.

Enter the Void, 2009

The latest experiment in the cinema of endurance from controversial director Gaspar Noé will probably find cult status among the stoner crowd.

Troll Hunter, 2010

A really well made mockumentary from Norway. The whole mythology was well thought out and the special effects were flawlessly executed.

I Think We’re Alone Now, 2008

Documentary about two Tiffany super-fans, oh wait, I mean super-stalkers. It started off pretty funny but ended up incredibly depressing.

Megamind : Ultimate Showdown

Sometimes you’ll play a game just for the easy 1000 points it will add to your Gamerscore. This was one of those games.

Handling The Undead

Latest from Let The Right One In author John Ajvide Lindqvist. Pretty good story but way too much like the French film They Came Back.

Freakonomics, 2010

Documentary based on the wildly popular economics book. I was a bit bored by the sumo wrestling segment, but the rest of segments were good.
