GravyTrain (2010)

This is a low budget satire of police shows from the 70s and 80s.  Just one of the problems is that it is so extremely over the top, that it’s painful, physically painful to watch.  It doesn’t work, and has the feel of a home made movie a few friends got together to make on… Read More »

The Pink Panther (2009)

Steve Martin as Insp. Jacques Clouseau.  This remake is okay for what it is.  There are a few laughs in it.  It’s always a pleasure to see Lily Tomlin in anything. She always brings some class and quality to any comedy.  I would not say this is a good example of Steve Martin’s best work.  He’s… Read More »

And Soon the Darkness (2010)

Two young women travel on their own in Argentina, only to have one of them kidnapped and to be sold into slavery.  This is the adventure of this event and her friend’s stuggle to locate her. The first half of this story is quite slow, but it turns very suspenceful and graphic.  7/10

Moon (2009)

Moon is basically a one man Sci-Fi show.  The main character is the single human support staff for a mining operation on the moon.  It’s rather slow going, but also suspensefull with a few twists.  Not your average Hollywood style movie.  If you don’t mind the slow pace, this is a decent watch, but also… Read More »

Vampires Suck (2010)

This is your typical tongue-in-cheek satirical remake of a popular movie; in this case the Twilight movies. It’s fun and funny, and in my opinion, far better than the movies it makes fun of.  Of course I’m not an emotionally tortured teenage girl, and simply can’t relate to the “tragedy” that those characters go through.… Read More »

You Again (2010)

This is a smart, cute, entertaining romanic comedy.  Nothing earth shaking here, just a fun, feel good, family oriented movie.  There are many noticable movie and TV stars.   The movie brings across a simple message that everyone can relate to; how we all suffered in some way or another growing up and at the… Read More »

Get Him to the Greek (2010)

This is one fracked up movie, but I loved it!  It’s a satirical comedy about a rock star attempting his come back.  You’ll see cameos of current and past celebrities.  It’s off-the-wall, unpredictable, and fun. 10/10

Salt (2010)

Angelina Jolie stars as a spy in this fast paced action/adventure.  The movie has a few welcome twists and turns and is not completely predictable as most movies these days are.  As action movies go, this flick is really well done and holds your attention from beginning to end. 10/10

Tron: Legacy 3D (2010)

Tron the sequel, 28 years later.  If you are a Tron fan, it’s an obvious must see.  Is it a great movie?  No.  Is it as visionary as the original?  No.  Will it stay with us for years to come and impact future movies and terms as the first one did?  Definitely not. I was… Read More »

Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010)

This movie is a bit difficult to relate.  It’s an off-beat fantasy-romantic-comedy.  Some of the characters have comic book hero powers.  And they are related on the screen in a video game style. Our young confused hero has to fight multiple villans for his girlfriend(s).  It’s all done with tongue-in-cheek humour.  If this sounds interesting… Read More »
