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.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie

Surprisingly tense movie even though you know how it will end. The dvd has a great documentary about the real events worth checking out.

Brüno

Brüno

Really funny even though it seemed much more scripted than Borat. My favorite bit was the overly-eager stage mothers pimping out their kids.

G.I. Joe : Resolute

G.I. Joe : Resolute

This 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.

Observe And Report

Observe And Report

Dark, dark comedy. You must give Seth Rogen a lot of credit for making you sympathize with a completely unlikable character.

I Love You, Man

I Love You, Man

Decent comedy with some laugh out loud jokes. Some really funny actors and actresses show up in supporting roles.

The International

The International

Not as good as I was hoping it would be. I really like all of Tom Tykwer’s other films, but this one just felt kind of flat.

Splinter

Splinter

A surprisingly good little independent horror film. I really enjoyed the filmmaker’s use of mostly practical effects over tons of bad cgi.

That Completist Mentality

That Completist Mentality, or: Why do I own 2 versions of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy when I really don’t even like it? That’s a good question, one I found asking myself recently as I began the yearly task of reorganizing my dvd collection. Usually I would end up...

Knowing

Knowing

I was wondering why I was wasting time watching this movie until it took a very interesting and unexpected turn in the the last 30 minutes.

Adventureland

Adventureland

About 20 minutes too long and not as funny as I was expecting it to be from the trailer. That said, I still liked this movie quite a bit.
