I thought this movie was pretty cool. I had a good time with it. You know I love my B-movies, and this concept was right up my alley. Fairy tales and firearms, dude. What isn’t cool about that? I don’t know, I mean it’s something different. It’s catching a lot of shit from critics of course because it is a stupid piece of shit movie. But you should kind of know what to expect from the title alone...[more]...

This movie needs more love. Produced by Spielberg and co-written by Brad Bird of Iron Giant and The Incredibles fame, it’s the story of a group of tenants that are in danger of losing their beloved apartment building to some moneybag bastard who wants to tear it down for his own profit. Greedy bastard even hired a local hang to terrorize the place to persuade them to move out.

But that’s when some unexpected help arrives, in the form of these mechanical critters from another planet. They feed on the electricity of the building, and in exchange they try to help the tenants keep their home. But it isn’t just how the robots aid these people in their pending eviction that is makes this so special, it’s mainly how they change the lives of each particular tenant.

BOTTOM LINE: It’s a harmless, heartfelt flick that charmed my socks off, tickled me with its effects and just left me with a rich feeling of happiness. It has its corn, of course. But its goal is merely to warm the heart, and it does. If you’re looking for a little lighthearted entertainment, I highly recommend you seek this one out.

David O. Russell shares Alexander Payne’s brilliance in how they can so elegantly mix sorrow with laughter. Refining those conventionally uncomfortable moments into humorous ones and making light of serious situations. Here, he forms a romantic dramedy around mental illness. It's as hilarious as it is sweet, and for a guy like me, a dark comedy with a romantic twist is like a dream come true...[more]...

Now THIS is a Bond movie, folks! It’s all here. The edge-of-your-seat action, the shaken martinis, the kickass gadgets, glamorous locations, the hotties, and the devious villain, fully equipped with a heinously humorous hairpiece. It instantly falls among my favorite of the ass kicking spy series that I’ve loved since I can remember, reminding me of where that love originated while also presenting a Bond experience in a refreshing new way...[more]...

I'm still just not a fan of Affleck's acting, but he really does a fantastic job at directing, and I think this is his best job yet. His style is perfecting before your very eyes as the scenes go on, and I think he is a very good storyteller...[more]...

I think I can honestly say that there's only about 20 or 30 minutes of this movie that I can actually say that I enjoyed, and the rest just didn't do much for me. Things start off incredibly corny with this well-to-do white family with the kind of "No I love YOU more"-type banter that couldn't be any more sickening. But then tragedy strikes, and a compelling venture of mother and son unfolds before our eyes, and it is not to be missed...[more]...

May I just say that I hate that stupid title? And I'm not typically into war movies, unless there's a Star in front of it. But this would fall into the few exceptions, right beside The Hurt Locker. Bigelow showed that you didn't have to be into war flicks to enjoy her adaptations, and here we see how she has perfected her wartime form even more...[more]...

Yeah, it’s good. I knew it would be. I should’ve seen it earlier but could never really muster up enough excitement to go see. “What’s going down tonight? We’re going to see that new Abe Lincoln junk! WHAT!? WHAT!?� But I did finally sit down with it and I’m glad I did. It isn’t nearly as boring as I thought it would be, expecting a yawn-inducing history lesson centered around Danny Lewis’ phenomenal performance...[more]...

Often (and probably best) described as a Gothic fairytale, this is one flick that is hard for me not to adore. It comes to mind when reminiscing the good ol' days of Tim Burton, back to the days when you could appreciate his creativity, his originality and the magic he was able to create. It falls among my favorites of Burton's work, because like Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas (which he wrote), it feels like the most genuine form of his unique vision, imagination and inimitable style...[more]...

I’ve gotten to the point by now where I can usually tell which movies will be winners for my personal tastes, and Killer Joe was immediately considered based on the title alone. I love stories about hitmen. I know my sense of humor is pretty fucked up, and I’m a BIG fan of a very VERY naked Juno Temple. This movie looks like a shoe in, and in no one’s fault but my own I may have set my standards a little too high, because I was sorely disappointed with this...[more]...

Wow! This was NOTHING like I thought it was going to be. I had no interest in this movie whatsoever, under the impression that it was another run-of-the-mill high school cornball comedies full of juvenile humor, and man was I wrong. This is the kind of high school movie worthy of joining the John Hughes collection, matching heart with humor in a way that I wasn't ready for, and packed a much more powerful punch than I would have ever expected...[more]...

Based off the cast, the director and especially the title, I knew I'd love this movie from the start. And I did. Absolutely loved it. Martin McDonagh and I seem to share the same sense of dark humor because I couldn't stop laughing...[more]...

This is an absolute MUST SEE for anyone out there that has worked on a movie set, wanted to work on a movie set, or anyone with a general interest in what exactly happens on a movie set. It probably seems like a dream job to direct your own picture, but what we see here is the nightmare of the process as it takes a humorous look at just a few of the many things that can go wrong...[more]...

Peter Weller plays a well-to-do businessman whose wife and kid have just left for a vacation with the grandparents, leaving the house to himself. But it turns out he isn't alone after all, as he begins to find traces of a rodent in his house...[more]...

I’m not a big fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to be, I used to love Family Guy. But I lost interest in his brand of humor after a while, and I pretty much just can’t stand that show now. But I did enjoy this movie for the most part, got some good laughs from it. At least it’s something kind of unique, something different. A crude talking, bong smoking, dry humping teddy bear. I just think that’s cool...[more]...

There is a lot of beauty in this movie. Not in just the visuals, but the meaning. You have this island, cut off from the rest of the world, in a town full of stubborn alcoholics that have too much pride to reason with fact that they're all on the verge of being completely washed out. This place looks like a post-apocalyptic dystopia. They call the place "The Bathtub", but clearly should've been called "The Toilet...[more]...
