X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) - Rated 03 May 2009

Wolverine is a bloated film with too many characters and dosen't spend enough time on Wolverine himself. With its forgettable and brainless plot, it's not a movie that leaves you satisfied which is quite a shame when you consider its potential. Nothing in Wolverine stands out as memorable. In terms of tone and content, Wolverine is a close match to Daredevil and Ghost Rider. Wolverine was made by people more interested in money than telling a coherent story so the movie suffers for it.

Goodfellas (1990) - Rated 10 Mar 2009

I think this is Scorcese's best film and it still puzzles me that this didn't win Best Picture. Joe Pesci gave the performance of his career and he richly deserved to win best supporting actor that year. All the profamances in this film are good. It is a landmark film and is one of the quintessential gangster films. It's better than The Godfather in my opinion because of its real life approach to mob life. Taking no credit away from Coppolla's Godfather epics but this movie goes one step beyond.

The Pianist (2002) - Rated 09 Mar 2009

This has to be one of the most honest films about the holocaust. Roman Polanski delivers the epic journey of a man who is transformed by a series of events from an highly cultured musician to a scavenging, hollow shell of a human being in a very skillful way. The violence is heartbreaking and graphic with showing the widespread killing, beating and burning of Jews and others, which is unbearable to watch at times. It's still a very touching movie and should be seen by everyone.

Hollow Man (2000) - Rated 03 Mar 2009

I thought this film was pretty good. Unfortunately it turns into a predictable B-grade slasher. This could, and should, have been much better than it is. The only great thing about this movie is the special effects. it may not be enough to distract the viewer from all the negative points of the movie. I do care for this film, it's one of my many guility pleasures movies. Hollow man is not the worst choice you could make it delivers most of what you expect from an enjoyable action thriller.

Hot Rod (2007) - Rated 02 Mar 2009

Andy Samberg is a funny guy, but in this movie he doesn't have enough to work with. I think with a better script and more ambition from the charaters they could have gave us a verry funny movie, this is not that movie. Even though the material is uneven this movie a few laughs, huge dumbass laughs. For example the scene where he falls down a mountain over and over and over. That was just good shot and staged comedy. I just wanted a little more from this movie for me to really like it.

The Midnight Meat Train (2008) - Rated 01 Mar 2009

There's only one phrase to describe "The Midnight Meat Train," Mind f***. This is a horrifying, frightening, heart stopping and chill-inducing mind f*** from beginning to end. This movie is easily, the best horror film I've in awhile and one of the most beautifully photographed horror films in recent years. can't imagine a horror fan not enjoying this movie. It's got everything you want in a horror movie and beyond. I love Clive Barker and his mad visions and I sure did love this movie too.

The Mothman Prophecies (2002) - Rated 01 Mar 2009

If your looking for a good horror movie...this isn't it. If you want a lame horror movie that will definetly bore you to sleep...this is it! This film was 40 minutes of storyline crammed into 2 hours of movie. Considering the subject, it was a rather boring movie. My main problem is that nothing is really wrapped up. There isn't enough happening and too much of what does happen makes little real-world sense. Yes there is a good climax but that hardly makes up for this frustrating experience.

Léon: The Professional (1994) - Rated 26 Feb 2009

'The Professional' is a well directed and very entertaining movie that full of tension and is also a great looking film. Luc Besson puts together a stylish and wonderful thriller, which dosen't take itself too seriously. Jean Reno in the title role gives a sold performance and manages to balence the elements of his character well. Natalie Portman in her first starring role is also good in her role. Gary Oldman is excellent as the pschopathgic cop, if he's abit over the top in the part.

Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) - Rated 26 Feb 2009

I consider this one of the greatest movies Woody Allen has made. It's definitely in the top three favorite movies of his, with Annie Hall and Match Point. Both stories told in the movie hold interest throughout, but to me Landau's story is even more interesting than the Allen one. Martin Landau is a true legend and in this movie his acting is really superb. Woody is great, as are Mia Farrow and Alan Alda . This is an excellent movie.
