Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods

The most fun I’ve had in a movie in years. During the first scene I am literally wondering if we accidentally walked into the wrong movie, and then when the title pops up I just bust out laughing. The dual … Continue reading

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

If I am comparing this film to any in the Twilight series I would say this is not only a better movie, but the messages are far more positive or at least relevant to our real world. I’ve not read … Continue reading

Movie Review: The Artist

There’s a lot of depth to this seemingly straightforward silent film. It feels like all the different elements came together perfectly to create a playful yet compelling story: endearing actors, a fun score, peppy editing, and always interesting visuals. I … Continue reading

Movie Review: Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

This one feels like they had the biggest budget and yet the least amount of stuff happens. Bella sits on a couch for two hours and Jacob falls in love with an unborn baby? What the hell? The series jumped … Continue reading

Movie Review: Puss in Boots

This film wisely uses a super-cool Robert Rodriguez film style and the delightful music of Rodrigo y Gabriela. The two sequences with songs by Rodrigo y Gabriela were the best things in the film for me. They’re fun songs even … Continue reading

Movie Review: In Time

Unfortunately this film fails to live up to its concept. The trailer is better than the movie. There are times that the movie is entertaining, but they are short-lived. It’s mostly 90 minutes of filler footage shot in boring drainage … Continue reading
