The Road

The Road

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.

World’s Greatest Dad

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

Whiteout

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.

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.

Avatar

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

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.

Extract

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.

Jennifer’s Body

Jennifer’s Body

What a terrible excuse for a movie. It wasn’t scary or funny. Maybe Megan Fox will go away now. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.
