Super 8… it just doesn’t work as well as it should. It’s not a bad movie… but it’s not as good as I’d hoped given it’s director and its obvious desire to emulate great 80s Spielberg flicks. It doesn’t gel … Continue reading
Just got back from X-Men: First Class… and this is a damn good movie. Not a damn good superhero movie, but actually a good, well-written, well-crafted, well-paced movie that isn’t just a bunch of action scenes strung together. It takes … Continue reading

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
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
