The Lovely Bones Isn't That Lovely

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 2:08PM |

Peter Jackson's latest effort is one you'll want to love, and yet through your already preconceived love of this film, you'll still be horribly disappointed by the way it was handled.

Prepare to Get Your Eyes Raped by AVATAR

Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 2:43PM |

Will LeBlanc

James Cameron's triumphant return to the big screen could not have been better. Revolutionizing motion control and finally using 3D for good instead of evil make AVATAR one of the best films of the year.

Boondock Saints 2: Seriously the Worst

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 11:02PM |

Will LeBlanc

Judging by the trailers, I knew this wasn't going to be a great movie. But I was hoping for at least something good. Unfortunately, Boondock Saints 2 fails to be anything but a blatant rip off of itself.

New Moon or How to Squeal at the Sight of Abs

Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 1:46PM |

Will LeBlanc

It hurts me to confess that despite the shortcomings of New Moon I didn't hate it with every fiber of my being. The action was decent, the big picture story was good, and even the acting was ok. This is a "brain off" sort of movie.

2012...An Exercise in Convenience

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 1:43PM |

Will LeBlanc

This is typical Roland Emmerich schlock and even though the effects are ramped up, the story is ramped way way down.

I'd stick my finger in THE BOX for a million bucks

Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 10:00PM |

Will LeBlanc

The Box was probably the most surprisingly great film of the year. The odds are against it in many ways, but the final product was great to look at, well told, and weird but not too weird. A perfect piece.

The Fourth Kind

Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 8:42AM |

Will LeBlanc

The Fourth Kind is one of those movies that succeeds in being effective but fails at being a truly great movie. It's scary and interesting, but the flaws are great and many making it hard to gauge whether or not you like it.

Ironma...I mean ASTRO BOY

Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 7:44PM |

Will LeBlanc

Astro Boy's ads seem a little deceptive, or maybe it's just me expecting that even the CGI movies for kids all will have adult themes in them. Astro Boy does not, but once you accept that, it's a pretty enjoyable film.

Where the Wild Things Are

Friday, October 16, 2009 at 11:54AM |

Will LeBlanc

The high amount of anticipation may have let to part of my general negativity towards this movie, but there's no denying that it didn't deliver on many of the promises made in the trailers.

Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 12:39AM |

Will LeBlanc

Toy Story remains the defining film in today's animation world. You'd be hard pressed to find a kid's film that holds up nearly as well as this after 15 years. Try rewatching Indian in the Cupboard. The worst.
