*SPOILER*
Not the film I expected or hoped for it to be. I was very excited about the whole mysterious numbers/end-of-the-world thing, and I LOVED that they had the balls to actually have the world end, but the whole alien angle really detracted from the flick. Take out all that and I'd rank it higher. |

| Killshot - R | From the director of Shakespeare in Love(??) comes this Elmore Leonard adaptation, delayed for years and finally arriving with a whimper. As it turns out, it's a decent premise, but loses focus and goes on unnecessary tangents. It has assembled a great cast, but half of them are terribly miscast - most notably Rosario Dawson. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a talented guy, but he's trying a lttle too hard here. What on paper should have been a great film - Leonard, Madden, Lane, Levitt, Dawson... - ends up instead more on par with most direct-to-dvd fare. I'm curious to see if the DVD will have an extended cut including Johnny Knoxville's scenes, whose role was cut entirely. | April 3, 2009 | N/A | |||

Well now I have to go back and change my 2008 year-end lists. Because we have a new winner for the "Most Bafflingly Overrated Film of the Year" award.
Why is this film getting so much love? The story, the acting, the direction, ..and oh GOD the dialogue... there's just nothing in this movie that lives up to the praise. Quite the contrary - it's a yawn-inducing snorefest and a waste of my time. |

| Dead Snow (Død snø) - Unrated |
I can say without a doubt that this is the best subtitled Norwegian movie about Nazi zombies that I have ever seen.
All kidding aside, it really is a decent addition to the zombie genre. At times it's a typical cabin-in-the-woods horror flick, other times it leans more into Shaun of the Dead territory. But it gets points for creativity, and for opting for fast zombies rather than the slow "zombie shuffle" variety. (and it's always refreshing these days to see a zombie film that doesn't try to turn it into a "virus" or something) |

This film is a perfect example of "if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the whole movie."
The trailer actually made it look pretty good, but since they decided to show everything, there were no surprises left. It's disappointing, really, that the marketing of this film detracted from it, because it was actually pretty well-made - A great cast, nicely directed, and has a real terror feel to it. *SPOILERS AHEAD* (only if you haven't seen the trailer, of course) When I say they showed everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Including what was basically the entire last segment of the film. The film seemed to end, and I actually thought they had made changes, and certain scenes from the trailer were not in the film after all, but sure enough it cuts back to show the villain's demise, which basically felt tacked on for the sole purpose of having a trailer shot to market it... maybe that's exactly what it was. |
