| 71 52% | The Crazies (2010) - Nov 13, 2010
"It could have been worse, but it also could have been better. Some pretty impressive horror set pieces sandwiched with some fat, mostly scenes detailing the containment and government intervention. Cut down by twenty minutes, it would have been a lean, mean heck of a horror. Instead, it's merely very competent."
|
| 80 67% | Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974) - Nov 13, 2010
"Seriously good--and overlooked--zombie film that also includes some unintentional humor and some fantastic gore."
|
| 31 9% | The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990) - Oct 18, 2010
"Didn't see it when it came out, but the film now seems horribly dated. The misogyny, awful music, and fashion all add up to a devotion to 80s detritus. Feels and looks somewhat similar to Road House (not entirely a coincidence, same producers as that film), but not nearly as fun. Not to mention Andrew Dice Clay is an incorrigible ass."
|
| 92 94% | Let the Right One In (2008) - Oct 18, 2010
"One of the best horror films in a long, long time. Particularly impressive because it is able to tell a love story between two children more effectively than most films are able to do with adults. It is also incredibly beautiful and poignant."
|
| 88 83% | Never Let Me Go (2010) - Oct 17, 2010
"Echoes of Children of Men in one heck of a sophomore effort for Romanek that says much about the human condition and the power of love, without being pandering. A truly depressing film, but one that shouldn't be missed. Great performances by the three young leads (Knightley, Garfield, and Mulligan). One of the best films of 2010."
|
| 50 30% | Predators (2010) - Oct 17, 2010
"Debatably a better film than Predator 2, but this film doesn't have Busey or Screaming Danny Glover (TM). As a result, the camp factor is missing. Some real cool parts and another great performance by Walton Goggins (along with a hilarious performance by Fishburne) do not a great film make. Worth a rental while consuming many substances."
|
| 69 46% | The Expendables (2010) - Oct 17, 2010
"If the last thirty minutes were the entire film, it would be fantastic. Unfortunately, there's like an hour around those thirty minutes that have some atrocious acting and writing. After Rambo, a pretty big disappointment, but helluva fun in the theater."
|
| 83 72% | Best Worst Movie (2009) - Aug 09, 2010
"Somewhat poorly made (Stephenson did train to be a child actor, after all), but has a lot of heart. Really interesting look behind "Troll 2" and all the interesting people that put the film together. In some ways, a tribute to those who love movies."
|
| 70 49% | Iron Man 2 (2010) - Aug 09, 2010
"A whole lot of "meh". Not even close to the quality of the first film and a pretty huge disappointment."
|
| 94 97% | Inception (2010) - Aug 09, 2010
"Quite simply one of the most imaginative and brilliant sci-fi pictures I have seen in the past ten to fifteen years. Works both the brain and the heart, providing a gripping action film with some serious philosophical questions. Nolan delivers again with another modern classic. Early favorite for best of 2010."
