A major disappointment. I barely made it to the end. I hope the kid in this movie doesn’t ruin the upcoming remake of Let The Right One In.

Robin Williams is terrific in this pitch-black comedy. Who knew Bobcat Goldthwait had this kind of movie in him?

Another good comic turned into a mediocre movie. I don’t know why studios feel the need to stray so far from their source material.

There goes another 90 minutes of my life I can’t get back. A total migraine inducing mess.

Top 10 Movies of 2009

Inglourious BasterdsQT does it again, as if there was any doubt. A very suspenseful film with incredibly fleshed out characters. I wish it was twice as long. WatchmenZack Snyder has made an excellent adaptation of the “unfilmable” graphic novel. It will take multiple viewings to fully take it all in....

Carriers

Carriers

A pretty good “survivors on the run” thriller that unfortunately fizzled out by the end. I love how the virus was never explained.

Moon

Sam Rockwell delivers the performance of the year in this excellent sci-fi movie that explores what it means to be human.

(500) Days Of Summer

(500) Days Of Summer

Both heartbreaking and wonderful. A movie that I can’t stop rewatching. Probably the most truthful romantic comedy I have seen.

A one of a kind experience that must be seen in theaters, especially in 3-D. James Cameron is back to show everyone how action is really done.

The Final Destination

The Final Destination

Any fun I had watching the previous 3 films has been all but sucked out of this one. Lame deaths and even lamer special effects.

Halloween II

Halloween II

Lifeless follow-up the the 2007 remake, which I really liked. I am excited that Rob Zombie can get back to original films now.

The Box

I wouldn’t even know how to start explaining this movie – it starts off like an old episode of the Twilight Zone then it gets truly weird.

2012

Slightly better than the complete mess I thought it was going to be. The effects were very good but the story was completely lame.

The Hurt Locker

The Hurt Locker

One of the most tense movies I have ever seen. I’m not surprised that this movie is at the top of many critics’ awards lists.

I was quite surprised that this new Mike Judge movie wasn’t very funny. That said, I really liked it.  It’s hard not to like Jason Bateman.
