Monsters vs Aliens

Funny idea but the final product is actually kind of boring and not very funny. Lots of cheap 3D gags seem strange in 2D.

gijoe-resoluteThis wasn’t anything like the cartoon I remember from the 80s and that’s a good thing. Writer Warren Ellis has made the Joes cool again.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

Basically a feature-length video game cut scene based on the video games. Animation is terribly wooden but the story was kind of interesting.

clonewarsBasically the first few episodes of the new television series strung together for theatrical release. It was better than I was expecting.

bendersgameAnother DTV Futurama movie focusing heavily on D&D and LOTR. I really don’t like either of those things so I really didn’t like this movie.

Chicago 10

poster_chicago10Fascinating doc about the historic 1968 DNC and ridiculous trial. Mixes actual news footage and animated courtroom re-enactments. A must see.

Next Avengers: Heroes Of Tomorrow

This one was pretty bad and I usually can give Marvel a pass on cheap animation if the story is well written. Marvel needs a Bruce Timm.
