MacGruber
They did a pretty good job of turning a 1 minute SNL sketch into a 90 minute movie. It didn’t do very well in theaters but will be big on dvd.
LATEST STUFF
Piranha 3-D
More like a loosely connected series of gory set pieces than an actual movie. Fun? Sure, but I don’t think I’d bother watching it again.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
It will take multiple viewings to take in all of the little details Edgar Wright jammed into this really great movie. I want the dvd now!
Limbo
Exhibit A in the defense of the “video games can never be art” debate. If you don’t have the means to experience it I would suggest YouTube.
Centurion
Another very good movie from Neil Marshall (Doomsday, The Descent). I love how every movie he makes is completely different and original.
“Jackass 3D” Trailer
[youtube https://youtu.be/WxOGwCH9nTM&w=640&h=360&align=left ] I don’t think James Cameron expected his 3D camera system to be used for stuff like this! I love these guys. Please don’t think less of me.
Birdemic : Shock And Terror
Amazingly awful and hilarious at the same time. Some audience members weren’t nearly as funny as they thought they were. See it if you can!
Battlefield : Bad Company 2
Most FPS are very heavy-handed and serious so I really enjoyed this game’s sense of humor. Solid online multiplayer only adds to the fun.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Bad acting aside, this movie based on “found footage” was pretty good. Sadly the ending felt like setup for a sequel that will never happen.
“Sucker Punch” Trailer
[youtube https://youtu.be/9k10AzCcMOM&w=640&h=360&align=left ] Zack Snyder’s first original project looks insanely amazing. I just hope the story can live up to all of the crazy imagery.
Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour
A fitting end to a really great series by Brian Lee O’Malley. I am super excited to see Edgar Wright’s movie based on the series on August 13.
Blacklight : Tango Down
Great graphics for a downloadable online-only title, but I couldn’t manage to stay alive long enough to figure out what was going on.
Shutter Island
I was afraid that the trailers might be giving up too much and I was right. I was only surprised by the amount of really bad cgi.
Cold Prey
Five friends snowboard right into quite possibly the most boring slasher movie I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see the two sequels.
50 Cent : Blood On The Sand
Licensed games are never this good. I had such a fun time playing this game even with its daffy plot and ridiculous premise. Worth a rental.
