Alice in Wonderland

Although Alice in Wonderland is a feast of beautiful color and art, the whole affair feels really hollow.  While I'm a fan of Tim Burton, I'm beginning to think his remakes and...Read More>

The Crazies

The Crazies is easily one of the best horror films to hit theaters in a really long time.  If this is the kind of movie you like to see, don't miss it...Read More>

Shutter Island

I am not a die hard Scorsese fan, but when he gets it right, it's hard to deny his genius.  Shutter Island is an example of that kind of excellence.

Set in 1954,...Read More>

The Wolfman

The Wolfman brings nothing new or terribly unique to the werewolf genre, but still manages to be a decently entertaining and suspenseful movie.

Lawrence (Del Toro) returns home to help find out who...Read More>

The Book of Eli

Right when I was ready to throw in the towel on post-apocalyptic movies, I decided to give The Book of Eli a chance to change my mind on the genre.  What I...Read More>

The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is one of those novels that just doesn't translate well to film.  I read the book well over five years ago, which is a rather perfect amount of time...Read More>

Daybreakers

If you're a vampire lover that hates the Twilight Saga because it isn't gory enough, I've got great news for you.  Every drop of blood not used in those two films, and...Read More>

Avatar

Avatar is a familiar, even clichéd story, but James Cameron wraps it in the most dazzling and unique world imaginable. And while the script won't blow your mind, it's tight enough...Read More>

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox is the latest film by Wes Anderson, and if you're any fan of ours you're probably aware we, well, love him.  So I tried to enter this film with...Read More>

2012

2012 is a three-hour disaster. Contrived dialogue, poor character development and the worst last line of a movie EVER cause this film to fail on so many levels. And while...Read More>

The Box

The Box is one of those movies that's brimming with ambitious ideas but ends up drowning itself in them. It's sad that a film with so much psychological potential could fall...Read More>

Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are scores big as a stunning visual recreation of a beloved childhood book. Although the film's story sometimes seems a little convoluted, that's probably because a child is...Read More>

Surrogates

The Guild's recent video, aptly named "Do You Want To Date My Avatar?" takes on new meaning in the film Surrogates. Imagine a world where we all sat comfortably in recliners while...Read More>

Paranormal Activity

While Paranormal Activity is scary, I wouldn't call it the scariest movie I've ever seen. I would however say it is one of the more disturbing and haunting movies I've ever seen.

Katie...Read More>

District 9

District 9 is everything I love about science fiction.  For me, Science Fiction at its very best is provocative enough to make you question what it means to be human, and consider...Read More>

G.I. Joe

Stephen Sommers is a skilled writer and director of action movies and I was surprisingly entertained by his latest film, G.I. Joe. When I told Daniel I was nervous about reviewing this...Read More>

Funny People

Judd Apatow's latest film definitely contains the cringe-worthy joke or two, but it is very different than his previous two films. Do not walk into this movie expecting large, outrageous laughter, but...Read More>

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Lets be real for a second. Yes, Optimus Prime has the coolest voice ever. Yes, everyone knows Megan Fox is hot. Yes, giant robots fighting is fun...Read More>

Land of the Lost

Admittedly I had very low expectations for Land of the Lost, so the campy ridiculousness of the movie was somewhat enjoyable. As always though, I was disappointed that the best jokes were...Read More>

Terminator Salvation

When our local theater finally put up the "Feature Presentation" slide after about five previews I had already seen, I let out a little squeal of excitement. Then the opening credits for...Read More>
