88 Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (2008) - Apr 03, 2010
Mini-Review: "The Status is not Quo" Ah, the ever-expanding Whedon-verse. Who knew there'd be singing? and NPH? and Cake? (OK - there is no cake, I lied). Very Cleverly written. Well directed and acted. Better than half of the superhero films that have come out in the past 10 years.
79 The Man from Earth (2007) - Apr 03, 2010
Mini-Review: Saw this movie cold. A cerebral Sci-Fi, all dialouge. Liked it, with reservations. 1) Casting: The concept would have been better served with a different cast. Not necessarily a-listers, but better actors. 2) The ending is contrived. If you remove the last 10 minutes to leave the audiance guessing, I'll add 10 points. 3) Quit lumping religious people together as ignorant. The one religious character is unsympathetically played by Crawford. (evilchaser is SPOT-ON! would make a better play!)
95 Up (2009) - Apr 01, 2010
Mini-Review: This is one of the best Pixar films to date, it's also the most emotional. Well written, beautiful graphics, and the interplay between Russell and Carl is touching.
88 Star Trek (2009) - Apr 01, 2010
Mini-Review: REBOOT! KIRK! SPOCK! VULCANS! ROMULANS! LENS FLARE! THAT GUY FROM HEROES! THAT GUY FROM HAROLD AND KUMAR! Good movie, fell apart with coincidences and some contrived plot points. Plus they had to throw in the cutsy-poo side kick for Scotty. Seriously though - it was fun!
90 Sherlock Holmes (2009) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: I enjoyed this film. Really one of the best I saw in 2009. But, this is Robert Downey, Jr. playing Robert Downey, Jr. - he was much better in Tropic Thunder. The plot was fast and it could be easy to lose your place. Two big things - 1) It really made me appreciate the TV show "House", 2) It made me go back and reread the original stories. That's why it's a 90 and not an 85.
71 Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: I'm embarrassed. I kind of liked this movie. It managed to capture ~some~ of the spirit of the first movie. I was disappointed by the cameo of Darth Vader, but there were some clever parts. And well... Hank Azaria is always good.
83 Julie & Julia (2009) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: Yes, it is choppy, but I have followed this story since it WAS a blog. The movie is good, but pair Nora Ephron with Meryl Streep and you're almost guaranteed a winner. Stanley tucci is very good and Amy Adams is wonderful.
70 A Christmas Carol (2009) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: No surprises here. Jim Carrey is a little understated compared to normal, and the graphics a reminiscent of The Polar Express. It was an adequate retelling of the classic tale.
57 Tooth Fairy (2010) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: Sweet little film, but a lot of flaws. Wasted talent (Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews!, Billy Crystal), Plot holes, a veeeeeeeeeeeeery slow middle, and the typical Disney family movie schmaltz. It was decent for watching with the family, but utterly, and thankfully, forgettable.
70 Alice in Wonderland (2010) - Mar 31, 2010
Mini-Review: Surprisingly enough, I kind of liked this movie. The visuals were stunning, but that's kind of to be expected with Tim Burton. 2 issues: 1) The movie could have been called "The Mad Hatter, and Alice, in Wonderland" 2) THe 3D gave me a headache for 2 full days - 10 points
