Easy A Review by Luke

Audiences have been hit with waves of raunchy sex and teen comedies over the years, all with varying degrees of success. Where most of them flounder is the lack of competent witty jokes and shallow two dimensional characters. EASY A does not fall victim to those pitfalls, and stands as a consistentl...

Devil Review by Luke

There’s good news and there’s bad news regarding the events of DEVIL. The good news is that this is a movie with M. Night Shymalan’s name attached and didn’t end up being a complete waste of time and resources, in fact it’s actually a pretty entertaining piece of fi...

John Carpenters The Ward Review by Tim Hannigan

The Toronto International Film Festival is in full swing, and Midnight Madness is delivering the goods as always with a mix of genre features from up and coming filmmakers and old school masters.  The last few years showcased new films from Dario Argento and George A. Romero.  This year fr...

Machete Review by Luke

Danny Trejo busts in with his leading role as an ex federale, code name Machete, that witnesses the horrible execution of his wife at the hand of the drug lord, Torrez (Steven Seagal). Three years later Machete is an illegal immigrant living in the states and working as a day laborer and is offe...

The Town Review by Luke

Ben Affleck straps on his directing shoes once again for the solid, Bostonian, bank heist film, The Town. I get the feeling that if I were from or lived in the Boston area, or were even just a die hard Boston sports fan, that I would be madly in love with everything The Town brings to the plate. I...

Resident Evil Afterlife 3D Review by Michael

Earlier in the week Luke who writes for our site reviewed Resident Evil Afterlife and did not have the best things to say about it. Despite this I decided last night to go and see the movie mainly to see Resident Evil in 3D and I am happy to report it was an experience. Resident Evil Afterlife makes...

The American Review by Cesar Marciano Bautista

You're American. You think you can escape history. You live for the present.  Father Benedetto, the know-it-all parish priest of an Italian hilltown, tells self-described photographer Edward (George Clooney), who is in reality hired killer Jack.  It’s a startling observation, made ea...

Resident Evil Afterlife 3D Review by Luke

Everyone put on your tough guy (or girl) voices, because you’re going to need them for this one. Resident Evil: Afterlife, is the latest film from Paul W.S. Anderson, and folks, it’s far from even resembling anything you can call his greatest. Maybe I was fooling myself by hoping that ...

Babysitter Wanted Review by Luke

Babysitter Wanted is a film that’s made its rounds at festivals and has floated around since 2008 until finally finding its way to DVD and Blu Ray on May 25, 2010. I knew very little about the film when I finally decided to check it out, and I’m here to tell you that this is the first ca...

PIranha 3-D Review by Luke

When you are going to see a film like Piranha 3D, you need to just shut your brain off, enjoy the absurd ideas and situations and then leave the theater with a smile. If you’re going to see it for Oscar worthy performances, the scariest movie ever or a tasteful cinematic exercise, then you...

The Human Centipede First Sequence Review by Luke

There’s a growing list of films with premises that raise eyebrows of horror fans that believe they have seen it all. Most of those films either don’t live up to their premise, or they lean heavily on excess to alienate and gross out the audience in ways that don’t add to but dist...

Machete Review by Michael

In Robert rodriguez’s Machete he reveals his clear passion for the Mexican people  and the issue of Mexican Immigration and Illegal immigrants while delivering an action packed b-movie experience that is explosive, intense, gruesome and entertaining all rolled into one well directed, perf...

Going The Distance Review by DrHideous

Romantic comedies are consistently some of the most frustrating movies for film critics like myself. Historically they embody all the formulaic, demographic-crunching, mass-produced garbage that cinephiles despise, but goddamnit if they aren’t just heartwarming and adorable. Luckily, Going the...

Machete Review by DrHideous

Robert Rodriguez is, without a doubt, the Sam Peckinpah of our time. There is no other filmmaker currently working who has the same flare and gusto for epic stylized violence, and yes that includes you, Tarantino. Machete is the distillation of 18 years worth of blood and guts filmmaking, and it sho...

Despicable Me Review by Cesar Marciano Bautista

Every three minutes or so, “Despicable Me” doles out cookies. They’re alternately of the crispy, chewy or melt-in-your-mouth variety, but never crumbly or too sugary. This is just one way of describing the delights of this movie, its crunchy humor, richly textured animation and mel...

After.Life Review by Luke

Have you ever wondered what happens to your body as it waits to be presented at your funeral? Fear not, After.Life attempts to help us experience this so we don’t have to rush to find out for ourselves, and it’s nothing ground breaking or particularly memorable. Unfortunately, After.Life...

Frozen Review by Luke

Frozen is the latest film from Adam Green, and is a very different monster from his popular gore fest Hatchet. Frozen is far more character driven and carries a more serious tone. Though it boasts moments of graphic images during the peril and some slow dialogue driven moments, Frozen is a well shot...

The Expendables Review by The Dude

Six out of Six men agree: The Expendables is a solid two and a half star picture. Whenever Dolph Lundgren is on screen, it becomes a four star picture, all the way. But when he's not on screen, which is for a large majority of the film, it becomes a two star picture. There's a wonderful sense of nos...

Piranha 3D Review by The Dude

There really is no proper way to review Piranha 3D. It's a bloody, gross, T&A filled, viscera spewing extravaganza. To a certain mindset, this is the dumbest movie ever made. But to others, this is the greatest movie ever made. (Until Jackass 3D opens in a few months). Here's a list of things th...

Avatar: Special Edition Review by Cesar Marciano Bautista

The turning point in the life of “Avatar” as a blockbuster was when it lost the Best Picture Oscar to “The Hurt Locker”. Not that it lost potential movie consumers, far from it, but by not winning, it was deprived of bragging rights for posterity. In the run-up to the 2009 Ac...

The Last Exorcism Review by Luke

I was extremely conflicted with my thoughts about The Last Exorcism upon leaving the theater. The first thing I wanted to do was call someone and see what they thought, but unfortunately no one I called had seen it yet. In some ways that might be the success of the film, is that I begs you to talk a...

Scott Pilgrim vs The World Review by Luke

th all those factors I was on the fence of rather or not Scott Pilgrim was going to be my cup of tea. I’m happy to say that it fell well within my comfort zone even if it didn’t leave me feeling as enthralled as I would have liked.Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is directed by Edgar Wright a...

Inception Review by Luke

Writing a review that precisely conveys my thoughts on Inception turned out to be more complicated than I had originally thought it would be. I’ve written and rewritten multiple times, going over the film in my head over and over, and I finally realized that no combination of words could give ...

Centurion Review by The Dude

Neil Marshall likes his movies a certain way. He always seems to tell tales of small groups of survivors in situations far graver than they could possibly imagine. Then he likes to pepper that up considerably with rampant abuse of ultra violence and profanity, because who doesn't like a fuckin' R-ra...

Avatar Special Edition Review by deth_banger

Wow what can I say; I never knew what the word 'epic' meant, until I saw the new Special Edition release of Avatar and now I know. To be honest I didn't want to believe the hype behind the film, that’s why I put myself off from watching it but believe me when I say, believe the hype! I was wro...

Vampires Suck Review by Lk<3movies

What my friends and I thought to be a funny comedy for anti-Twilight fans, turned into one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. Most of the scenes shot were between Bella(Becca) and Edward (Edward Sullen) and about how Edward didn't want to love Becca like she wanted him to. There was profanity thr...

Flipped Review by DrHideous

Rob Reiner is a tremendous and influential director who’s had a pronounced impact on our society.  With films like This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Misery, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, and Stand By Me under his generous belt there’s no denying the man’s got cho...

Grown Ups Review by Cesar Marciano Bautista

For some of us watching “Grown Ups”, a buzzer at the end of the first half would have been a welcome relief, even an act of mercy. That is the point where Roxanne Chase-Feder (Selma Hayek-Pinault, please note), the wife of ex-basketball star Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) prepares to storm o...

Eat Pray Love Review by Live to Review

I was not a huge fan of the self indulgent book nor did I ever believe I would have taken any of its advice from such a woman.  I went to the movie thinking that Julia Roberts and Hollywood might make it entertaining enough.  Well...Julia was horrible, she looked horrible, acted terribly, ...

Tekken: The Motion Picture Review by Luke Duffy

To say I was excited about the Tekken movie would be an understatement as I have been waiting eagerly for years to witness the characters I spent my childhood playing with for hours brought to life. Unfortunatly, the reality was that I was left rather underwhelmed by the whole experience. ...

Scott Pilgrim vs The World Review by DrHideous

Movies and video games have something of a love/hate relationship. The film industry loves to make movies out of videogames, which gamers inevitably hate. But Scott Pilgrim is different. Now, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World isn’t based on a videogame, it’s based on the geek chic comic book s...

SALT Review by Michael

Salt was originally setup as a film for Tom Cruise with the lead character being named Edwin but Tom Cruise walked away from the project since it was direct competition for his Mission Impossible franchise which resulted in Angelina Jolie stepping in. She was once offered the role of a bond girl but...

Cyrus Review by The Dude

With Cyrus, the filmmaking team that is the Duplass Brothers steps up into the ranks of the studio filmmaking system, but aside from the cast of familiar faces you wouldn't really be able to tell any difference. The brothers are known throughout the film community as the (extremely reluctant) pionee...

Inception Review by DrHideous

Extraction, in the world of writer/director Christopher Nolan’s latest film, is the term for entering another individual’s dream and stealing information from their subconscious. Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Arthur (a very dapper Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are professional extractors, an extr...

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Review by DrHideous

Disney has always been rather liberal with the notion of “creative license” when adapting novels, fairy tales, or any story into a feature film. To say that the new live action film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is based on the iconic animated segment from Fantasia is like saying that ...

Despicable Me Review by DrHideous

As a critic, moviegoer, and general film enthusiast I tend to sit through a lot of formulaic repetitive awful crap. Hence I’m usually the first to criticize a movie for unoriginality. But for once I’m going to leave that harp in the corner, because Illumination Entertainment’s Desp...

PREDATORS Review by Sheila Roberts

The opening scene of this action-packed sci-fi adventure announces a bold new chapter in the Predator universe and promises to take the franchise back to its testosterone-fueled roots. Inspired by a story originally penned by producer Robert Rodriguez back in 1994, “Predators” begins wit...

Inception Review by Sheila Roberts

Christopher Nolan is one of the most visionary filmmakers working today and his new film, Inception, is a stunning achievement that raises the bar for original filmmaking. It challenges the boundaries of cinematic language and expands the conceptual and thematic dimensions of the narrative art form....

The Last Airbender Review by seifer

I have to say the film was okay, found it very choppy and yes it did not hold totally true to the main animation of the original Avatar the last air bender. Plus it was a major speed through like if somebody just hit the fast forward button from the beginning right to the end of the film. There wa...

The Last Airbender Review by afoolswisdom

The Last Airbender, the movie, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, was a far cry from being representative of the Nickelodean cartoon.  It actually did the reverse, it shamed the cartoon.  The main characters were not fully developed or realized, they did not represent the wonderfu...
