Mini-Review: Funny People strikes the right balance between drama and comedy that both Knocked Up and the 40 Year Old Virgin had going for it. Its a better story and it actually seems rather biographical for everyone involved. The jokes never miss and its hard not to empathize with the characters even at their darkest, most pathetic moments. I loved this movie and can't wait to see it again.

Mini-Review: It's strange... Orphan isn't even a bad movie. It's actually rather disturbing. While it's marketed like a slasher--and I guess to an extent it is--the plot of the film and the twist that reveals what's "wrong with Esther" is really creepy and unexpected. I don't know how I feel about this movie because I left really unhappy and put off by the story but I guess the fact that it made me feel anything than pity for a bad movie was better than I expected. After all, I'd recommend it.

Mini-Review: This movie is the Devil May Cry 2 of Sacha Baron Cohen.

Mini-Review: Wow! The Hangover sucked! I actually cannot even tell you how lame this movie was. There was hardly a time when I laughed and I'm not even hard on comedies. This is crude, it's rude, and it's witless. I am shocked that it's so popular and boggled that it's well received. This movie is garbage. Don't waste your money and go see something else.

Mini-Review: This may come as a shock, but Knowing is an excellent film. The story is smart and runs its course with a great pace. It reveals just what it needs to at all the right times once it gets going. The marketing team responsible for the trailer has some explaining to do because they sell this to be a cheesy Cage actioner when it's really one of the most interesting sci-fi films I've seen in a very long time. Maybe I'm alone on this but I hope I'm not; Knowing is sure to be a recent favorite.
