• A CHRISTMAS CAROL

  C-Considering this story has been put to screen about a dozen times, in which even a couple have already been animated?there isn?t much to write here that?s positive. SURE, the 3-D effects are neat for a while, and the action might keep you at the edge of your seat, for about 10 minutes; but...

• THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

  BWhacky. Offensive. Clever. Hysterical. Everything you?d want in an Iraq War movie! While slightly over-the-top, the performances in this film are enough to warrant repeat viewing. Clooney and Spacey are at the top of their games, but it?s Jeff Bridges who steals every moment he?s on camera. If...

• AMELIA

  CDisappointing. What could have been an epic period film about one of the coolest women who ever lived, turns out to be nothing more than a book report; a bio-pic by numbers. Following the typical outline of any bio-pic, we aren?t given anything more than the facts. No back story? No purpose? No...

• WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

  AA breathtakingly beautiful film. The irony here is that it?s really NOT for kids. It?s PG, a ten year old will probably be bored here? but you, an adult, will fall in love with it. It?s not a happy-go-lucky film, it deals with real emotion, and issues we all have felt at one point or another...

• COUPLES RETREAT

  D- It?s as if these guys got together and came up with a way to take an all expense paid vacation, and leave the FUNNY behind. This movie plays like a really bad sitcom that just won?t end, and makes you feel completely un-satisfied at the conclusion. Unless of course, you like Guitar Hero? though,...

• WHIP IT

  B+ If you took JUNO and ROCKY and meshed them together, you might get WHIP IT. Celebrating so many aspects from both theses movies and much more, this completely feel-good tale is both heart warming and incredibly enjoyable. It?s as if your mouth doesn?t stop smiling throughout the runtime. Perfect...

• ZOMBIELAND

  < B+ What a fun time at the movies! While not entirely deep, but certainly not void of meaning, this film is both a laugh riot, and an action extravaganza! Woody Harrelson chews up the scenery and his tongue-and-cheek banter with Jesse Eisenberg is worthy of repeat viewing?. Well? THAT? and watching...

• PANDORUM

  BOK? So if you took equal parts, ALIEN, EVENT HORIZON, PITCH BLACK, and SUNSHINE, you would have something that resembles this sci-fi horror flick. People will run from this one? but not because of its merits, but because of what it looks like. Fact is, this is a pretty cool film. It?s scary,...

• JENNIFER'S BODY

  C+ A guilty pleasure; Ya know, those movies that you?re kinda embarrassed to admit you love. This film reeks of it. More generally entertaining than scary, the campy nature here will make some people go running for the hills, make some people sick, and the rest, will probably add it to their guilty...

• THE INFORMANT!

  B+Matt Damon gives the best performance of his career! The film itself is very light?albeit based on a true story, yet keeps you laughing and wondering until the very end. I mean, how exciting can a story about corn actually be? So, whether you really care about what?s going on here, or not; even...

• WHITEOUT

  D Ididn?t know they were making CSI: ANTARCTICA! Well? really, a TV show called CSI: ANTARCTICA would probably be much better than this! It?s that Kate Beckinsale and Tom Skerrit gave poor performances? it?s that the script they had to work with was flat out atrocious. While the concept of the film...

• 9

  B-Visually astounding! While story weak and depth depraved? the overall scope of this film makes it worth your money. It?s the future? It?s post-apocalyptic? Its rag dolls fighting machines; how bad can that be right? BEWARE, this is not for children! It?s dark and heavy, but not without some...

• EXTRACT

  C+After giving us a film like, Office Space, I was expecting much more for Mike Judge here. The movie is both funny, and boring? it has its moments, sure. But where Office Space succeeded, Extract fails; you just don?t like and root for the characters. They make BAD decisions that lead to...

• HALLOWEEN II

  DReally? A remake of a sequel of remake. Or is it, a sequel of the remake of sequel? Who cares. It?s not very good. You just feel so dirty while you?re watching it, the first thing you?ll want to do when you get home is shower? for a long time. It?s not that this film is without scares, or some...

• INGLORIOUS BASTERDS

  ADestined to become a Classic? like most Tarantino movies! This is a fable about WWII, not a history lesson. Filled with clever and violent tarantino-isms; each scene is crafted in such a way that builds and builds giving us multiple moments of awe and coolness. People will be talking about the...
