Repo Men Review by The Dude

Let it be known that Repo Men is not a sequel to Repo Man, Alex Cox's cult film of the 80s. (Which is a ridiculously awesome film you should see, if you haven't already). Nor is it Repo: The Genetic Opera, a film I have not seen because my friend told me "it would damage my soul" if I saw it. What R...

Hide & Creep Review by Michael

The Indie zombie Flick Hide & Creep was sent our way and we sat down to watch and review the film. To kick off this review I want to share with you all the trailer for Hide & Creep. The movie Hide & Creep came in one of the nicest press kits I have scene with a handy and hilarious "Zombi...

She's Out Of My League Review by The Dude

I really wanted to like She's Out Of My League. It had a bunch of things going for it, a likable lead from the Apatow school, a script coming from one of the geniuses behind Sex Drive and the upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine, there's a hot blonde and a gaggle of friends who don't know any better. Despi...

Green Zone Review by DrHideous

In 2003 the US military entered Baghdad. Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) is there searching for weapons of mass destruction. He’s one of the good guys. He tells us again and again, “I’m here to save lives.” We know why Roy Miller is in Iraq, but the question Gre...

The Crazies Review by The Dude

The cycle of the modern day "remake" is a complex web to the fanboy. On the one hand, it's sacrilege to remake anything, especially if the original is from a seminal 70s director like John Carpenter or George Romero. This leads to outraged cries of "Why can't Hollywood come up with original ideas?" ...

Shutter Island Review by The Dude

Martin Scorsese is the kind of filmmaker that can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants these days, and I'm okay with that. If he wants to make an IMAX documentary about the Rolling Stones, he can. If he wants to make a ridiculously melodramatic Argento homage, he can. I hear next he wants to ma...

Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland 3D Review by Michael

Went to see my very first 3D movie this weekend and it was pretty much what I expected with a few surprises. Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland is true to form what you would expect from a Burton movie. It features lots of intense visuals, unusual characters and an over the top and dark story only this...

The Crazies Review by DrHideous

In 1973 George Romero wrote and directed The Crazies. It was a smart, low budget, but well-written allegory for post traumatic stress disorder in Vietnam War veterans. Romero saw a problem in American society and he synthesized it into the subtext of his film in order to create a discourse on the st...

Shutter Island (2008) Review by Michael

I am starting to discover I am not a fan of big name actors and actresses. It seems that like every review I am starting this one with how I am not a huge fan of the star. In this case Leonardo Dicaprio. I will say though that Ben Kingsley and Mark Ruffalo are great character actors that I love and ...

Halo Legends Review by Michael

Had a chance to checkout an early copy of Halo Legends and can sum it up in a very brief outline. If you are passionate for Halo you might like this. If you love Japanese anime you might like this. If you have no love for either which is my case you will likely find this cash in on the Halo franchis...

The Wolf Man Remake Review by DrHideous

Even a filmmaker who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, may become a hack when the budget blooms and the A-list stars are bright.  Let writers and directors heed the warning of The Wolfman lest they too lean upon the crutches, the silver-topped canes, that have twisted so many film...

Percy Jackson & The Olympians Review by Michael

Went out today to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning thief and quite frankly I really did not want to go. I am not a teenage girl and I do not have a crush on Logan Lerman. Billed as the next great thing since Harry Potter as a 30 year old male I am clearly not the target demographic...

The Wolfman Review by The Dude

The Wolfman? More like The Wolf-meh. (ZING!) Universal once again tries to recapture a genre using the most modern of special effects, and once again manages to deliver a nice piece of eye candy that evaporates seconds after you leave the theater. It's not bad, per se. It's full of nifty set designs...

From Paris With Love Review by The Dude

Make no mistake, From Paris With Love is not a very good movie. It's loud, it's stupid, it's vaguely racist, it's horribly miscast, excessively violent, has a fetish for guns... the list seriously goes on and on. And yet, despite these factors, despite everything this movie has going against, I had ...

District B13: Ultimatum Review by The Dude

District B13 Ultimatum could just as easily be called District B13: Verbatim. It's almost the exact same movie as the previous adventure in B13. I went back and read my review of the previous District B13 movie, and I could pretty much repost that. In fact, I'm going to include the wonderful first l...

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Review by The Dude

It would be easy to say that Terry Gilliam is a filmmaker who can't catch a break. And to a degree, that's correct. Going as far back as Brazil, it's rare to find a Gilliam movie that didn't encounter some aspect of trouble along the way from inception to projection. This is well documented in Lost ...

From Paris With Love Review by Michael

Luc Besson is a legendary filmmaker for action junkies and for the most part all of his films are pure cinematic genius. So when I heard that John Travolta was starring in his next project From Paris With Love I was a little worried. I liked Travolta when he was wowing us on the screen with Pulp Fic...

MOON Review by Michael

A ton of you threw me firmly under the bus when I did my top 10 Sci-Fi Films of 2009 over Moon. I got tons of downright rude comments about how dare I not include moon and what a moron I was. In defence I pointed out the film had a piss poor release and I never was afforded the opportunity to see it...

Surrogates Review by Michael

Surrogates just hit DVD and it is what it is. It’s an action-sci-fi flick with a few thrills, lots of action and my favourite one man wrecking machine Bruce Willis. I will apologize in advance if this review is a bit lacklustre as I am sick as a dog but still have to get this review out while ...

Edge of Darkness Review by Michael

Mel Gibsons latest foray into film is Edge of Darkness and for a change he is not behind the camera but instead in front of it. I am a massive fan of Mel Gibsons and love his work from Mad Max to Apocalypto each is unique, inspiring and entertaining. Unfortunately none of those words can be used to ...

Planet Hulk Review by DrHideous

Marvel is going through something of a tentative renaissance at the moment.  They burst onto the film scene with Iron Man, their first ever self-produced movie, in 2008.  It seemed almost a revelation at the time – people who make great comic books will make great comic book movies.&...

Avatar Review by Scarunch

If you have not seen a 3D movie since Bwana Devil, you’ll be impressed with the advancements in the technology as demonstrated in new James Cameron movie, Avatar. But first, you have to deal with the glasses. 3D glasses have evolved to these big clunky things that make everyone look like Shell...

Avatar Review by zain

I dont know why people refer to AVATAR as a film with just hitech gimmickery / special effects. Cameron's real genius is creating the ecology and biology of an alien civilization which is believeable / explainable  in a very scientific way (ok it takes a bit stretching of the imaginat...

Legion Review by Kendra

I actually liked this movie.  Well, I think I did.  It got really corny at the end but it was good.  According to my brother in law, this movie was a lot like Prophecy which I didn't see and will have to rent soon.  It was action packed and I really thought it was going to be a h...

LEGION Review by Michael

Dragged my butt off the couch today to hit the theatre and check out the latest religious apocalypse flick to hit theatres LEGION. I went into Book of Eli not expecting anything religious but left feeling ‘anointed’ in holy doctrine. Legion at least when I went in I knew I was going to b...

Avatar Review by MovieFanatic

Avatar is a wonderful movie.  The special effects go beyond spectacular into the realm of absolutely beautiful.  The story is a good one, and once the mystic elements are introduced you may think you are seeing a little corner of heaven.  There are sad scenes, tense scenes, humorous...

Avatar Review by Kuzya

Dear Jim, Look at all your films before Titanic and find what's missing in them compared to Titanic. What made Titanic the highest grossing fim ever as opposed to just big as your previous efforts? Did they have mind-boggling special effects? Check. Ground-breaking technology? Check. Intense drama? ...

Avatar Review by Mike

Take the hardware of Blackhawk Down, some mythical Dragon like creatures from any run of the mill fantasy movie, mix it up with The Lion King, and the dreadfully heavy over moral weight of what we're doing to our own planet, throw in a set that seems to have been computer generated by someone determ...

AVATAR IMAX 3D Review by Geoff Grant

This movie was seriously the most realistic movie I have ever seen, as it did not allow me to look away, even for one moment.  The bad guys and the good guys exchanged roles throughout the story, forcing every viewer to stay put in the seat.  I did not see one person in front of me or alon...

Avatar Review by sarah

I wanted to like this film. I expected to be blown away but I was so disappointed. My husband and I could not stop talking about it but for all the wrong reasons. The special effects were truly amazing but the plot was very weak. It was like Ready, Steady, Cook for movies. i.e. take scenes from...

AVATAR Review by Yachtboy

I'm of two minds on this. Clearly, the technology used was a brilliant tour de force of what can be done given the money and time. What i'm a bit uncomfortable with is the plot, or should I say multiple plots cleverly blended together to give us a serviceable but some what cliched story of good vs. ...

Avatar Review by Atataryyyy

there were 2 great things about this movie. each was equally great. i'm afraid that a lot of ppl were so blown away by one of those great things that they never managed to pay attention to the other.btw, this movie has to be seen at least twice! i am definitely seeing it another few times... def the...

Avatar Review by MovieFanatic

We went & saw this incredibly made movie in 3D.  One word can sum it up and that is WOW. The "Wow" was for the graphics & beautiful creativity of "Pandora" with the creatures/plant life & those who lived on "Pandora".  The story line was nothing to ride home about &a...

Avatar Review by Uncle Sherman

The visuals are beyond any ever seen in a movie theater (or in real life either), the characters are finely drawn, especially the "native" Na'Vi, and the life on their planet is the realization of the ideals of those who love and respect nature and see us as children of the natural world.  Such...

AVATAR IMAX 3D Review by Peter Viskup

As a big science fiction movie fan and ultra big fan of older 70mm cinema format ( I have seen a lot of 70mm USA films in Europe) and I was projection technician in Europe so my review is about film first and technical IMAX review second. James Cameron did honorable job after big pause in his career...

Book of Eli Review by Michael

Book of Eli is an old premise that has been done in a hundred different films but I will admit that Denzel Washingtons take on the premise was both entertaining and gruesome. Book of Eli is a fresh take on an old premise of a world wiped out by man with a lone wanderer on a mission to salvage societ...

Avatar Review by MovieFanatic

Fantastic graphics and special effects is what will lure you into the theater. Once there, be prepared for a movie with a not so subtle political agenda. I was entertained but could not get past the fact that this was a billion dollar propoganda movie. Clearly everyone has to acknowldege that ...

Avatar Review by Ladislaus Pongraz

This film is all about effects. There is a token attempt to add plot and characterization but the sledgehammer approach eschewing any sublety spoiled it for me. Approximately 3 hours of subwoofer rumble, highly sensationalist violence and the inevitable Hollywood indigenous (read: the natives are ...

Avatar Review by Perfect Critic

 I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago in one of our city's multiplexes and after watching this film i feel that certainly this movie is a visual treat and has delivered what it had promised but when i thought over it again and again i felt that this is one movie which i will always rememb...

Avatar Review by Leslie Kieltyka

This movie was something I thought I would never see at my age, I always wanted to be born now instead of the 60's, so that's what I mean. I was also crying and just wanting to pound the Marines, and yes there is controvercy with the Marines being the bad guys, but its a movie, so I had no problem w...
