The Simpsons Movie - PG-13
|
|
I must say that as an avid fan of The Simpsons on TV, this movie does the characters, the town and the overall attitude of the show justice. A must see for any The Simpsons fan and isn't worth missing for any comedy fan.

The Invasion - PG-13
|

The idea is really cool and months later I am still thinking about some of the scenes but as a movie, the editing is just too poor. The acting is good and the story is awesome but the editing was just bad. Worth seeing but it's okay if you don't.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - PG-13
|
|
I am a little ashamed that I even saw this movie and even more so that I am admitting that the funniest part was done by Rob Schneider. It really isn't worth seeing unless you love stupid comedies in which you take nothing away from.

The Devil Came on Horseback - Unrated
|
|
If you didn't care before you certainly will now. Of course I like the idea and motif behind this documentary but it's just a bunch of information thrown at you with emotionally stunning pictures. Yes it is informative and yes it does arouse emotions but as a documentary it's nothing special despite the fact that the subject matter is. I could easily have seen this on National Geographic but that by no means means that you shouldn't see this documentary.

Freedom Writers - PG-13

One of the first movies I saw of the year, this one was overlooked for no apparent reason. The story is good, the acting is good and the ending is good. I'd encourage all of you to see this feel-goody.

Great story, good dialouge, no cinematic elements to mention, the characters are developed well enough to get the story across powerfully. Highly recommended especially if you liked their previous work "A History Of Violence."

Dragon Wars (D-War) (War of the Dragons) - PG-13
|

One of the worst movies I've ever seen I believe that it made me a little dumber. The acting is terrible, the story unbelievable and exaggerated and the CGI worthy of mockery. Do NOT see this movie, this coming from a fan of dragons too.

I must say that my rating is a little skewed by the fact that I'm a huge Jodie Foster fan but seriously, this movie is entertaining from start to finish and the acting is really great. If you love Foster then you can't miss this one.

Great story with a superb cast that delivers their characters powerfully and above par. A great love story about a funny family that I wouldn't mind seeing again. One of the better romances of the year.

Fido - R

I love me some zombies and I love the 1950's so I was really looking forward to this flick. It's funny, very original and has some good acting from the surprising cast (Carrie-Anne Moss, Bill Connolly, and Tim Blake Nelson). If you like zomidies then you can't miss this one.

El Orfanato (The Orphanage) - R
|
|
Sure the scary parts really make you jump but the plot isn't very believable and the father character just comes and goes from the movie whenever which had me thinking, "Why is he letting his wife do this?" instead of being engrossed in the movie. If you love spanish horror movies, I suppose this one is great but overall there isn't anything special here, especially with the super predictable ending that wasn't portrayed well. I will say that this straight-horror was better than any American cookie cutter attempt I've seen in over a year.

The Mist - R
|

The best shock horror movie of the year and a must see for any fan of the genre, this movie takes your heart and runs with your emotions. Granted the CGI isn't stunning but it isn't bad either, the acting is pretty good, the cinematography is interesting (in a good way) and the editing is great. A wonderful movie that should be viewed by anyone, regardless of whether or not you already know the ending. I must say, the ending is one of the best I've seen in a long time, but the acting in the final scene is a little cheesy so overall, it's a much better idea than scene. Regardless, it's great and the only reason it doesn't get a 4.5/5 is the replay value is very low so see it without distractions, ready to give it your full attention.

My Kid Could Paint That - PG-13

This was a wonderful documentary that accurately portrayed the facts with sufficient research. A good story with a compelling kid that really makes you wonder about the conflict presented. Worth seeing, especially if you are a fan of Marla's work.

The Incredible Hulk - PG-13
|
|
Indeed I agree that this is wondrous compared to Ang Lee's failed and mocked attempt. Yet on a movie scale it is only above average which for a Marvel movie, is great. The action sequences are sweet and while I was a little taken back with the CGI Hulk, it actually grew on me. Edward Norton is of course awesome and surprisingly, so is Liv Tyler. The characters are well portrayed and are given enough characterization for the audience to fully understand each. This movie is worth seeing if you are a Norton fan, a comic book fan or an action/sci-fi fan. Overall, recommended and entertaining.

Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) - R
|
|
**NOTE: This review is based on the unrated extended DVD version of the film.** So much worse than it's counterpart, Planet Terror drops you into a world of an unprecedented story and an unbelievable world. Sure there are some funny parts and tons of gore but that in no way makes up for the marginal acting, the unbelievable characters or the overall sub-parness of this movie. Worth seeing if you like Rodriguez but for that reason only.
