The Last Station The Last Station might be poorlyreceived by many. This is because most people have never heard of Leo Tolstoy, and if they have, they know him from his exhaustively lengthy masterworks Anna Karenina and War and Peace. Both are widely-considered among the best novels ever written. I wouldn’t expect many to read through either before they die, [...] Inception
I’d thrown together a discussion about the movie right after I’d seen it. Only one problem: everyone on the internet did too. Even people who don’t talk about movies. So I decided to just let things cool for a while, come back to the review, and then write a few things in a [...] The Last Airbender The Last Airbender is a beautiful (looking) film from director M. Night Shyamlan. The film is based on the adored show which garnered success with both critics and audiences. The show won Emmys, Genesis Awards, a Peabody, Animation awards, and had millions of viewers per week during its three seasons. This show [...] Up (2009) By Devon Gilbert Up is one of those movies that makes me wonder how I was ever able to watch hand drawn cartoons. I feel bad for saying that considering hand drawn animation is still very difficult to achieve and has made for many great films/TV shows, but CGI animation blows [...] Turkey Shoot (aka Escape 2000) (1982) By Devon Gilbert I decided to view this old ozploitation movie (meaning Australian exploitation flick) because it looked like one of the better movies on the excellent Not Quite Hollywood documentary. Turkey Shoot is more or less what I expected from the clips, which is to say [...] The Final Destination (2009) by Devon Gilbert I definitely don’t love the Final Destination series, but I still find them enjoyable. They really were never about story and character, though you might be able to argue that the first one had some of both. Instead they featured really cool death scenes (the opening [...] The Hurt Locker (2008) It is fairly well known that Hollywood has been having trouble making films about the war on terror and even more trouble selling them to audiences. I have seen many of these and not been too impressed. A couple of good ones that come to mind are The Kingdom (maybe [...] The Hills Run Red (2009) As far as straight to DVD horror movies go, you could do much worse than The Hills Run Red, directed by Dave Parker. The movie doesn’t exactly defy stereotype, especially when it’s centered on a masked killer, but it feels original enough. Not to mention there’s something very intriguing [...] The Hangover (2009) I didn’t expect much from The Hangover. Of course the premise, about three guys who wake up after a crazy Las Vegas bachelor party with no memory of the prior night yet must find the missing groom in time for his wedding, had lots of potential to be hilarious. It’s just [...] Surveillance (2008) Surveillance is a dark and disturbing film with some horror movie elements, but I hesitate to label it a horror film. However, I feel fans of the horror genre would find much to appreciate in this twisted story from David Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer Lynch. Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond play FBI agents investigating [...] Improve the web with Nofollow Reciprocity. |
