Forrest's Recent Reviews
Fantastic Mr. Fox
PG
Its appeal to kids may be limited. Instead, it seems directed at fans of Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson. For them, this is an intelligent little adventure featuring beautiful stop-motion animation and superb voice work. Expect this to be better appreciated years down the road.
The Ring Two
PG-13
First bad idea: ditching the 'haunted video tape' theme for a standard-issue 'possesed child' storyline. From there, it's a complete hackjob with bad acting, cartoonish effects, and a complete lack of the scares and atmosphere the original had in spades.
Forrest's Favorite Movies
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)
PG
My all-time favorite movie. Every shot and line is iconic. After thirty years, it's still complete perfection.
Rear Window
PG
Hitchcock's best is one of the most imitated films ever made. The staging, suspense sequences, and performances are nothing less than brilliant.
