New moon Review by btvs510

I think that Weitz did a great job trying to capture the essence of the book. The film was a little slow, and I do which that we could have seen more of the Volturi but overall I was happy. I will say that they should've had bella shed a tear or something. Either way can't wait for eclipse.   ...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Review by Shari

I just got back from seeing New Moon!  I am not fond of how the books are written, but fell in love with the story.  I watched Twilight and really loved the esoteric ambiance and level of feeling it brought out in me, so I looked forward to seeing New Moon.  However, I did not have fa...

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Review by The Dude

Abel Ferrara's original Bad Lieutenant didn't really strike me as a movie that cried "sequel". It was dark, gritty, and and a little hard to watch at times, but was well worth watching, if only for a great gonzo performance from Harvey Keitel, and the scene where he pulls over two New Jersey club ra...

Fantastic Mr. Fox Review by The Dude

I don't know how the recent trend of indie directors making family movies in their own styles started, but if Where The Wild Things Are and Fantastic Mr. Fox are any indication as to where this trend is headed, I hope it never stops. While not quite mining the epic emotional qualities that Spike Jon...

The Box Review by The Dude

Richard Kelly has once again made a film that confuses me. It's not the head-spinning, I need a chart to figure out the plot sort of confusion that Donnie Darko was. It isn't the "why did they need to expand more" confusion created by the director's cut of Darko. Nor is it that frustrating form of c...

Pirate Radio Review by The Dude

According to the beginning of Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked), in the 1960s, the BBc would only play 2 hours of pop and rock music a week. In the land that gave the world The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, their own citizens weren't able to find a place to listen to it. Until a ba...

The Fourth Kind Review by DrHideous

Predicated on the assumption that the events and archival footage featured in The Fourth Kind are real, writer/director Olatunde Osunsanmi has compiled a film that is at the least unsettling if not genuinely disturbing. But as Milla Jovovich reminds us at the outset of this film, what we choose to b...

Michael Jacksons This Is it Review by Donna Simpson

I wasn't going to see this film until my 11 year old daughter begged me to take her, and how glad am I that she did. I was mesmerized from start to finish. It was a rollercoaster of emotions that I find quite hard to describe, and suggest that anyone, not even huge fans, should see this just for the...

Michael Jacksons This Is it Review by Raynetta Manees

Michael, at your movie “This Is It” there were tears, laughter, applause, and cheers.  You got a standing O from the group I saw the movie with—the entire theater!  So good to know that you were even BETTER than ever!  So good too that NOW the world will know all tho...

Michael Jacksons This Is it Review by Darl

I loved it. It was so nice to see the real Michael and how he related to the other members- seeing him laugh and crack some jokes. It just made me sad to think of such talent gone. He is truly "the man". I'm so glad that they video taped the rehearsals. What a wonderful show it would have been in ...

Michael Jacksons This Is it Review by MovieFanatic

This is it is a must see for all the fans across the world , i thought it was amazing film so happy it got realised.Watching it on such a large screen the biggest screen i have ever saw mj on , gave me a warm feeling it was like he was on the stage doin his thing.Every single person enjoyed the film...

The Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day Review by The Dude

It's sort of a miracle we have one Boondock Saints movie, let alone two. The story behind getting writer/director Troy Duffy's ultraviolent cult favorite to the screen was so ripe with drama, it inspired it's own movie, the documentary Overnight, which doesn't portray the auteur in a favorable light...

Gentlemen Broncos Review by The Dude

Right from the opening credits, Gentlemen Broncos had me hooked. They're quite simple, similar to the Napoleon Dynamite credits, which is fitting seeing how this is the latest film from  director Jared Hess. Instead of foodstuffs, we are treated to the cast and crew names of old pulp sci-fi boo...

Ong Bak 2: The Beginning Review by The Dude

Let's get this out of the way right now: Ong Bak 2: The Beginning really has nothing to do with Ong Bak aside from the fact that Tony Jaa is in it. Sure, you'll hear claims that he's playing the earlier incarnation of his character from the original, but that won't mean anything to you. Because you ...

Antichrist Review by The Dude

You know how they say the first ten minutes of a movie are the harbinger of things to come? The rule applies to art films as well. Let's take Lars Von Trier's latest film, Antichrist, The movie begins with gorgeous, slow motion black and white Willem Dafoe testes and an infant dying. If this disturb...

Michael Jacksons This is It Review by Sheila Roberts

There are few things in life that make your heart soar and change your perspective on the world as much as Michael Jackson did. I first met Michael in October 1978 while I was working as a photographer for the Los Angeles Film Exposition and was assigned to cover the gala West Coast premiere of The ...

House Of The Devil Review by The Dude

The House Of The Devil is as perfect an 80's horror film as we'll ever get in this decade. The only thing missing is the giant clamshell VHS case. The look, style, tone, pacing, even the credits nail the feel of a flick your friends would've rented out for a slumber party, but weren't quite sure wha...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Review by Michelle Howard

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is about Decepticon forces returning to Earth to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner. They do this because he learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. An Autobot (Optimus Prime) joins in the mission to protect mankind. He had joined fo...

SAW 6 Review by M

Its Halloween almost again which means that once again Lionsgate is going back to the trough and trying to milk more out of the Jigsaw cash cow. The entire series has been made for less then $40million and has made the studio almost $670million at the box office alone. Throw in DVD sales and its no ...

Saw VI Review by William Easton

I watched this on midnight, and I have to say, this is the absolute best Saw movie ever, and this definitley redemed the beloved franchise we've all loved. After the failure that was V, I'm sure we were all negative towards ANOTHER Saw movie, but VI is amazing. The movie is better paced, full of tr...

Paranormal Activity Review by DV

SOOOOOOOOO disappointed……cheesy, unrealistic big bird demon in the attic, who is transparent, but leaves footprint on the floor and who entices these people to stay in the bedroom where this is all going on (cause the camera is there). The alarm never goes off even though there are clearly sen...

Where the Wild Things Are Review by The Dude

Where The Wild Things Are is a wonderful movie, lovingly crafted, with an amazing blend of technical feats and human performances, that I wish I loved more. As it stands, I really like it and admire it just as a friend. But I really want to love it more, and I'm hoping that a few days time away from...

Black Dynamite Review by The Dude

"Watch out, Shaft! Black Dynamite's in town!" is what I would write if I did was not raised to honor and respect the private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks. (And had a lack of respect for myself). Regardless, Black Dynamite proves itself a worthy successor to the blaxploitation classic,...

Paranormal Activity Review by DrHideous

Paranormal Activity is, perhaps, the perfect horror film. When compared to movies like Friday the 13th or Dawn of the Dead though (as fantastic as those films are), it seems hardly appropriate to put Paranormal Activity in the same genre. The concept revolves around a young couple, Micah and Katie...

Zombieland Review by MovieFanatic

Zombieland is a movie where when you see the preview, the movie is precisely what you would expect from what you saw in the preview. It's a relatively cheaply funny movie with stereotypical characters and of course, zombie killing. Do not, I repeat, do not go to this movie expecting much of any deep...

Zombieland Review by TheNightlyGamer

First of all, it’s debatable as to whether or not “Zombieland” even has a single zombie in the entire movie. There’s not a scene in this film that shows anyone coming back from the dead. Even one of the main characters mentions that the virus, which has apparently affected th...

The Invention of Lying Review by DrHideous

The term “high-concept” when applied to a film means that it has a basic premise that can be explained in one or two quick sentences. For example, The Matrix: Our world is actually a vast virtual reality created by robots to harvest our energy. A small group of people travel in and out o...

Whip It Review by The Dude

It's rare these days to find a nice movie. One that's kind to, and even loves its characters, while remaining true to itself. Too often movies that could be nice are too cloying or too condescending or too damn conventional to truly stir any sort of reaction out of me other than disgust. And if I ha...

A Serious Man Review by The Dude

A new Coen Brothers' movie is always a reason for celebration. Even when they're a little too condescending for their own good, like Burn After Reading was, they still make a film worthy of watching at least once. (I still contend that Ladykillers is far better than anyone gives it credit for). So i...

Zombieland Review by DriHideous

It is a rather odd phenomenon that zombies are so popular right now. But with everything from movies to books, comics, games, figurines, candy, and even a zombie wine on the market, it’s no surprise that we should see a movie like Zombieland, essentially the most epic zombie comedy ever concei...

Daybreakers Review by TheNightlyGamer

Since the release of the first “Twilight” film, vampires have been a hot commodity. From random television dramas to theatrical films, the vampire sub-genre is one that people can’t wait to sink their teeth into these days. Adding to the slew of vampire-related media is “Dayb...

Pandorum Review by The Dude

Pandorum comes to us "from the makers of Resident Evil and Event Horizon", which would normally be construed as a warning sign, but I think it's sort of a blessing. Yes, Paul W.S. Anderson is the director of Resident Evil, Event Horizon, and the man responsible for bringing us one of the greatest ve...

Surrogates Review by The Dude

There's one moment in Surrogates that's so utterly fantastic, so face-meltingly awesome it represents everything we hold to be true as human beings, and if they just made this scene the movie it would win every award from Academy to Nobel AND it would unify nations to one global consciousness. It in...

The Thaw Review by JK Spaeth

My first perfect score goes to the best horror film I've seen all year and possibly longer. It is simultaneously bleak and inspiring, its level of suspense, squick, angersome blood is intense -- those with hypertension beware. The Earth is thawing out -- and some very old things are waking up.If you...

George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead Review by TheNightlyGamer

George A. Romero is a name synonymous with the zombie sub-genre. The man has been at it for so long that the first entry in his “of the Dead” series was in black and white for Christ’s sake. If it weren’t for him, films like “28 Days/Weeks Later,” “Return of...

ONG BAK 2 Review by Mike

Star/director Tony Jaa  and co-director Panna Rittikrai’s follow up to the first international Thai blockbuster Ong Bak is, in many ways good and bad, a classic true-to-genre martial arts flick. The story is convoluted and clichéd. There are storytelling elements that feel like the...

Jennifers Body Review by DrHideous

Everyone was afraid that Diablo Cody was a one trick pony. Even those of us who liked her 2007 drama/comedy Juno were unsure if she could repeat her success without resorting to another film about smart-mouthed teens that might as well be Juno 2. Even knowing that Jennifer’s Body is a horror/c...

Solomon Kane Review by Mike

Michael J. Bassett’s adaptation of Robert E. Howard’s Solomon Kane is the exact kind of film that I’d have somehow managed to see when I was 12 or 13 and fallen completely in love with. Thanks in part I guess to the fact that I haven’t grown up that much, I still love it. A p...

Jennifers Body Review by The Dude

Full disclosure section: I have a massive crush on Diablo Cody, and will follow her to the ends of the Earth if need be. On top of that, I am one of 17 people who actually thinks Karyn Kusama's Aeon Flux is a pretty damn cool movie, even with studio interference and obvious compromises. So the combi...

Whiteout Review by The Dude

Whiteout is a remarkable motion picture. Never before have I witnessed a film where every scene contains 80 percent expository dialogue, and yet I can't tell you a damn thing that happens in this movie. That's Whiteout in a nutshell. Here's what I can tell you about Whiteout: It stars Kate Backinsal...
