The Brothers Bloom

The Brothers Bloom

The movie was just kind of ok. Maybe my expectations were way too high for this one after loving Rian Johnson’s first movie “Brick” so much.

Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity

There are some good scares and a really creepy ending. Seeing it with a sold out crowd at midnight was a lot of fun.

Trick ‘r Treat

Trick ‘r Treat

I loved, loved, loved this movie! Kind of like the “Go” of horror movies. It really is a crime that this movie is going straight to dvd.

Antichrist

Antichrist

Lars von Trier has crafted one of the most bizarre and controversial horror films I have ever seen. Definitely not for the squeamish.

Year One

Year One

It took a while to get going, but there were some really funny Jack Black moments towards the end.

It’s Alive

It’s Alive

The killer baby remake nobody was waiting for except probably me. Pretty terrible. Go rent my favorite from the original trilogy instead.

Pontypool

Pontypool

All set up and no payoff. I still don’t understand how or why anything happened. Incredibly disappointing movie.

Monsters vs Aliens

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.

Avatar : IMAX Special Preview

Avatar : IMAX Special Preview

Roughly 15 minutes from Jim Cameron’s first film in 12 years. 3D gave me a headache, but the cgi was so good everything looked 100% lifelike.

Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds

QT 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.

District 9

District 9

Rarely does a movie exceed my expectations. District 9 is the real deal – serious science fiction and thrilling action. Check it out.

The Hangover

The Hangover

Pretty funny movie. Hopefully this will launch Zach Galifianakis into superstardom. He’s a hilarious comic and the best part of this movie.

Second Skin

Second Skin

The best documentary I have seen so far on gaming culture and World Of Warcraft in particular. You can watch it for free right now on Hulu.
