This is a strange one. Watching this movie is like trying to take your eyes off an accident. Three teenagers go camping. They find a large mysterious empty house and help themselves to the washroom. Their sewage ends up contaminating the ooze from an old secret experiment out back, that causes anyone that dumps in… Read More »
A Tim Burton’s comedy about a dim-witted vampire that is resurrected in the 70’s after 200 years. Done is the typical Tim Burton’s style, but definitely lacking the sharp whit and spark of a classic like Edward Scissor Hands. It’s beautiful to watch and expertly done, and completely dull. 6/10

I happened to notice a Google Street View camera car in Winnipeg today. No surprise since the city has had Street View of the streets for several years now, but it’s the first time I’ve seen one of the cars driving around. The camera unit seemed to be covered in a close fitting vinyl condom.… Read More »
The Avengers the movie, is a mishmash grouping of Marvel super-heroes. It’s disappointingly busy. Busy in the sense that we have far too many “heroes” being focused on. So many that the character building can’t occur properly, even in the 2 1/2 hours of screen time. Add to that disappointment, they turned Ironman into a… Read More »
A spoiled rich girl decides to do a geek a favour and give him a make-over so he can get a girl, only to fall for him herself. Yawn…old story. Yawn…poorly implemented. Yawn..simply boring. Professionally made, but too cute, perfect and overly lame. 4/10
A vain self absorbed rich high school student (Alex Pettyfer) is turned into an ugly duckling by a teenage witch (played badly by Mary-Kate Olsen.) A good basic plot, with juvenile writing that tries too hard to be trendy, and a story that moves along far to quickly in an attempt to get the whole… Read More »
A factionary account of the disturbing last days of Edgar Allan Poe’s life. John Cusack plays Poe very well. I enjoy John Cusack in most roles he plays. To say to much about this film would be to spoil it. If you are a fan of Edgar Allan Poe, John Cusack, and/or aggressive and suspenseful… Read More »
I’m not even sure if this is considered the fourth Starship Troopers movie, or just one of the many additional videos in the franchise. I can tell you this one is adult style animated, with nudity and swearing, so not a kids film. It has a distinct first person shooter video game theme and feel.… Read More »
Battleship, supposedly based on the board game according to the credits, is a mix of Transformers style hardware, Independence Day save the world movie plot, and US Navy recruitment commercial. The “hero” is a life long half-wit screw-up, that is forced into the navy by his older brother, because he is such a loser and… Read More »
