Paranormal Activity 2 (4/5)
I did nearly wet my front when all the cupboards flew open. Brilliant concept; brilliant execution; profit margin on these films is ridiculous.
Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga’Hoole (3/5)
For a battle-owl-fantasy-allegory it sure was predictable. Stunning sets and animation, compelling adventure and action scenes, and a title so horrible that I had to cut & paste it from IMDB. I don't care who they were trying to stay true to, even M. Night had the owl pellets to drop the essential "Avatar" from his train wreck. And not that this film bombed, but ...
Never Let Me Go (5/5)
A most astonishing cross-genre film by one of the great music video directors (Romanek did Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" and Johnny Cash's "Hurt" among others). Based on a Japanese novel that landed dozens of critical accolades, it played like a low budget classy version of The Island as directed by Sofia Coppala. An elegantly paced sci-fi alternate universe that ...
Crash (4/5)
I recall sweating twice during my first viewing of this film at the Guild 45th theater. It is a thoroughly contrived story, weaving a dozen stories and characters into impossibly perfect encounters, but who cares that is what we expect from our movies--show me the extraordinary, show me the remarkable, show me everyone being way more racist than I think I really am.
Remember The Titans (3/5)
Bruckheimer loves him the racist superplots. More movies would benefit from the R rating–this being one. Maybe teens didn’t swear in the ’70s, but it fights against credulity when you sense a character needs and wants to say "fuck" but isn't because they want to sell more tickets to children. Do parents really need the MPAA and their meandering, esoteric ...
Miracle (4/5)
They would have named this film by it's full historic title but Disney sullied the term "on ice" a good twenty years ago.
The Roommate (3/5)
She literally has a doll face (I mean figuratively but totally literally too). Call me racist but all the white girls look the same in this movie. An occasionally effective and classic thriller score that was too often ruined with wussy alt rock pop hits.
Skyline (DNF)
It thinks it is Cloverfield meets War Of The Worlds, but I can't be bothered with a bunch of milquetoast actors running around a building for two hours.
No Strings Attached (3/5)
Not the piece of junk that I was expecting. Plenty of great characters and jokes and enjoyable performances from Kutchie and Portman. And who knew that casual sex would be such refreshing content here in the post-deadly-VD world. Curious what the feminist would think about this film--is it as pro woman as I think it is, or is it just a mark off and therefore quite ...
Sliver (1/5)
Eszterhas (of Showgirls and Basic Instinct favor) knows how to pen the sleazeball material, and thankfully Billy Baldwin and Sharon Stone love reading it. Plenty of male tail, vomitous high class flirting, a fun workout date where Stone's character is apparently working out her uterus, and--now that I myself have had some real sexual intercourse--the most ridiculous ...
