Frost/Nixon

Frost/Nixon

An entertaining film based on the famous interviews. Sam Rockwell continues to pwn any film he’s in. And where’s Oliver Platt been?

Repo! The Genetic Opera

Repo! The Genetic Opera

I kept waiting for that one moment that would make me really love this film but that never happened. A couple of the songs were really great.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

My Bloody Valentine 3D

Pretty boring remake of the 1981 classic. The 3-D was a great idea but it still doesn’t work well with the quick editing of modern films.

The Rocker

The Rocker

I laughed quite a bit during this film about a drummer from an 1980s hair metal band who gets a second chance with his nephew’s new band.

Religulous

Religulous

I’m not the world’s biggest Bill Maher fan, but this was a very good documentary on the state of world religion.

The Wrestler

The Wrestler

A true gem. Its rare when a film ends up being better than I hoped for. Mickey Rourke was born for this role.

Resident Evil: Degeneration

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.

The Zombie Diaries

The Zombie Diaries

Good zombie film from England but they broke the golden rule of POV films – never use a traditional score. It totally breaks the realism.

Mirrors

Mirrors

Incredibly boring film. So boring I almost turned it off. It had one good scene you can see right here and save yourself some time.

What We Do Is Secret

What We Do Is Secret

Mediocre biopic about the highly influential Darby Crash and The Germs. Great music but the film is kind of disappointing overall.

Let The Right One In

Let The Right One In

A tender tale from Sweden about two young outcasts falling in love for the first time. And oh yeah, the girl happens to be a vampire.

Brain Dead

Brain Dead

Crazy, weird, and fun film from one of my favorite directors from the late 1980s Kevin S. Tenney. Some crazy stuff goes down in this one.

Milk

Milk

Inspiring film about the life of Harvey Milk. The entire cast was excellent especially Josh Brolin who is really on a roll lately.

Gran Torino

Gran Torino

Crotchety old Clint Eastwood stars in this excellent film about a Korean War veteran warming up to the world after his wife dies.
