Bridesmaids

Posted on May 14, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Hilarious and human comedy… it’s a little bit raunchy but what works in that it’s smart and well-written and the people act like people (for the most part). Great laughs. Surpsing amount of characterization and depth… this was a movie … Continue reading →

Thor

Posted on May 7, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Saw Thor – good movie. I know very little about him as a comic book hero… though I know a bit more more about Norse mythology… so it was easy to watch knowing one of the two. Fairly good action, … Continue reading →

Your Highness

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Another disappointment – a movie that blew it’s good jokes in the red band trailer and was otherwise… meh. So disappointing. I suspect others will find it funnier though. I felt it was just one low-brow, low-hanging fruit joke after … Continue reading →

Hanna

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Loved it… neat action flick about a child assassin (who wouldn’t like that?!). Saroise Ronin plays the lead and she’s very solid. Great action scenes that are proof against all the idiot hyper-cut action flicks out there… and it’s also … Continue reading →

Source Code

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Source Code is the new time travel / virtual reality / alternate dimension flick where Jake Gylenhall must try (many times) to stop a terrorist bombing. Just like the director’s other movie Moon, I thought it was a good flick … Continue reading →

Insidious

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Someone’s hitting the piano REALLY hard in this flick… yes, movie, I know you think that was scary. Weirdly, despite the overly dramatic stuff, there are some really good chilling scares in this flick that it earns (and without gore … Continue reading →

Rubber

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Joel Hilke

The true story of a tire that becomes sentient and uses it’s telekinetic powers to explode people’s heads… yeah, it’s not what you would call a serious movie and it’s also what you might call a meta experimental film. A … Continue reading →

127 Hours

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Wow. So much better and uplifting and horrifying than I expected. This is the true story of the hiker who got trapped under a rock for 127 (derp) hours and how he survived. Not for the weak-stomached – the director … Continue reading →

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Joel Hilke

Yeah, this sequel is a pretty fun little family/kids movie. Quite funny, sweet film. The original movie was pretty good too but suffered from the kid being an unlikable little jerk… he’s better now… but still prone to mistakes. Maybe … Continue reading →

Sucker Punch

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Joel Hilke

All splash, no depth.  Sucker Punch seems like a movie designed to be awesome for geeks. Anime-inspired girls in school uniforms? Check. Cybernetic samurai? Check. Steampunk nazi zombies? Check. Dragons? Check. Check. Check. Amazing trailer, made me want to love … Continue reading →
