65 Robot Jox (1990) - Feb 10, 2012
Mini-Review: Because I am a pathetic manchild I actually had a fun time with this. It's extremely cheesy and cheap, but I'm up for seeing robots cut each other apart with lasers and chainsaw dicks any time. It also scores extra points for having no sound in space.
10 Ilya Muromets (1956) - Feb 09, 2012
Mini-Review: At least that wind troll was pretty cool.
79 The Dark House (2009) - Feb 08, 2012
Mini-Review: A pretty basic story, or rather two basic stories, lifted to greater heights thanks to the way they keep switching back and forth. It all leads to a pretty gripping climax that ties most of the story threads together. There's this great sense of (moral) decay and darkness throughout that I really liked. Too bad the jazzy elements of the soundtrack lessened the impact of the visuals sometimes.
71 Caddyshack (1980) - Feb 07, 2012
Mini-Review: Silly, but entertaining. The cast is pretty good and it has some great quotes. The second half loses some steam though.
82 Touching the Void (2003) - Feb 06, 2012
Mini-Review: I knew everyone was going to make it out alive, but that didn't diminish the effect of the nightmarish scenario unfolding before my eyes. At times I forgot I was watching actors recreate the events, and I felt pretty damn tense once things started to go horribly, horribly wrong. It's great that the people interviewed freely talk about the darker sides of their emotions and decisions. Gripping stuff.
81 Four Lions (2010) - Feb 06, 2012
Mini-Review: The movie expertly balances some really dark themes with black-as-hell comedy. That's quite an accomplishment, considering the subject matter. Only downside is that much of the story hinges on some characters being total morons.
7 The Violent Years (1956) - Feb 05, 2012
Mini-Review: The Violent Yearzzzz
79 Friday Night Lights (2004) - Feb 05, 2012
Mini-Review: Sure, it has a bunch of sports movie cliches, but when the presentation is as good as this I refuse to be bothered by them. The editing, cinematography and acting were all excellent, really sucking me into the movie. Which kinda surprised me as I don't even care for football! Also, any soundtrack that uses a whole lot of Explosions In The Sky gets three thumbs up from me.
5 Cougar Club (2007) - Feb 05, 2012
Mini-Review: Terrible. And that's coming from someone who has sex with elderly women, like, ALL the time.
71 Shaft in Africa (1973) - Feb 05, 2012
Mini-Review: Is it far-fetched? Sure. Does it feel out of place compared to the previous two films? Definitely. Is it still entertaining? Aw hell yeah! I actually had a pretty good time with this. Shaft being a total player, assassins all over the place and, well, he's in goddamn Africa! Just a shame the series ended here. I would have liked to see the inevitable Shaft in Space.
