Admission
Also saw Admission – the new Tina Fey… comedy? I guess it’s a comedy though it’s not very funny… I was really bored through a lot of it but then I kind of got weirdly fascinated by its depiction of … Continue reading

I, Frankenstein
So… classing it up in a goofy storyline, Aaron Eckhart plays the Frankenstein monster in the so-very-serious action/sf flick I, Frankenstein. A movie that tries real hard… tries to be good, tries to be some kind of amalgam of Underworld … Continue reading

Texas Chainsaw (2013)
And, because I wanted a double-feature with Zero Dark Thirty, I also went to see the new Texas Chainsaw movie (in 2D)… which is weird in that it’s a direct sequel to the 1970s Texas Chainsaw Massacre that ignores the … Continue reading

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder
So… yeah… Starship Troopers 3 came out – another direct-to-dvd sequel. The 2nd flick was alright – basically something you’d see on Sci-Fi Channel (but slightly better) but it was clearly made on a super low budget and really just … Continue reading

Dukes of Hazzard, The
The Dukes of Hazzard movie was a pretty average-to-less-so movie. Some bad editing and pacing which made some things make very little sense. But I guess I’m not looking for massive logic in this movie so I guess I can … Continue reading
