New Reviews

Gone Baby Gone(2007) - 9/10 stars.
After seeing The Town, I really wanted
to check this out since it is Ben Affleck's
directorial debut.  I wonder why Ben
Affleck spends so much time acting
when he is clearly one of the best new
directors around.  Check this one out
and be amazed!

L.A. Confidential(1997) - 7/10 stars.
Over the years I have heard how awesome
and monumental this film is so I finally watched
it.  I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed in
it.  While there are plenty of good moments,
any Scorsese movie does it better.

Jingle all the Way(1996) - 10/10 stars.
This film gets a perfect rating mostly for
nostalgia.  My family and I watch it every
year during Christmas time.  That being
said, both Sinbad and Arnold are completely
hilarious.

Dead Snow(2009) - 5/10 stars.
I suppose this picture has a certain form
of entertainment value.  it, however, has
almost no story and some of the worst
effects and acting.  It probably could have
been a SyFy Channel orginal movie.

Hatchet II(2010) - 2/10 stars.
I actually enjoyed the first Hatchet quite
a bit.  It's hard to believe that this film
was written and directed by the same man
that did the first one.  It falls flat pretty
quickly and is ridden with cliches. 

Kick-Ass(2010) - 8/10 stars.
It's rare that a satire hits the mark in most
of the right places but Matthew Vaugn's
Kick-Ass does just that.  It is absolutely
hilarious and action packed.

The Other Guys(2010) - 7/10 stars.
The comedy team of McCay and Ferrell
has returned with The Other Guys.  While
it isn't quite up to Talladega Nights' or Step
Brothers' levels, there are plenty of memorable
moments.  Mark Wahlberg is a fantastic addition
as well.

Star Wars Uncut(2010) - 10/10 stars.
A brilliant fan made film made up of hundreds
of fan made clips reenacting the entirety of
1977's A New Hope.  It is wonderful to see
amateur filmmaking like this.  Be sure to check
it out at www.starwarsuncut.com

The Fighter(2010) - 8/10 stars.
I usually despise biopics because I feel
that creating a film out of a true story shows
a real lack of imagination.  In spite of that fact,
I really enjoyed The Fighter.  It's mostly thanks
to the performances from Mark Wahlberg and
Christian Bale but I felt this was a very enjoyable
film.

The Loved Ones(2009) - 6/10 stars.
This film is brutal and disgusting and
could have been a great horror film.
Unfortunately, the script and character
development went almost nowhere.
That being said, it's a good movie to
watch if you don't want to think too hard.

The Disappeared(2008) - 8/10 stars.
A fantastic British film that's atmosphere
is intense and frightening.  It looks like
The Brits are our best hope for horror films
since America really sucks right now.

Tron(1982) - 8/10 stars.
A classic in its own right.  After seeing
Tron Legacy, I had to revisit this and am
very glad I did.  The effects are great for
when the picture was made and I thought
the story was awesome.  It was also
interesting to see such a young Jeff
Bridges.  

Troll(1986) - 3/10 stars.
Troll is one of those really bad movies that
has a few memorable scenes.  A lot of it will
probably have you laughing.  Especially the
fact that the main character's name is Harry
Potter.

Troll 2(1990) - 2/10 stars.
It's not the worst movie of all time like
most people claim.  However, one thing
that people are right about is that it is kind
of hard not to watch more than once.  It's
awful but it's hilarious because of how
awful it is.  Watch with friends!

The Best Worst Movie(2009) 9/10 stars.
This is a sort of "where are they now" type
documentary all about Troll 2 and its
boasted infamy in the "underground
community."  It is actually worlds better than
Troll 2 and has a lot of heart.  

Cabin Fever(2002) - 2/10 stars.
Eli Roth is not the future of horror nor
is he a good director or writer for that
matter.  Cabin Fever is a piece of crap
that should have gone straight to DVD.

Cabin Fever 2(2009) - 1/10 stars.
After seeing Cabin Fever, if you had told
me that there would be a sequel that was even|
worse, I wouldn't have believed you.  I hate to
tell you that this is one of the worst movies I've
seen in my 22 years on this earth.  Don't watch it.
I beg you.
