The Social Network

reviewed on October 1st, 2010 02:52AM

"What? A movie about Facebook? No, that sounds dumb. I'm not seeing that." That's the thought on the majority of peoples' minds when they hear about The Social Network. That's not what this movie is. Not even close. I want to start out by...

I loved this movie. The Coens are back doing what they do best- a dark, dark comedy, this time with 100% more message! The opening quote of the film truly sets the tone of the film, "Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you." La...

What is there to say that hasn't been said already? This is the perfect ending to a series that literally defined my childhood. I was 5 years old when the first film came out, and from then on, I treated my toys as if they were alive. I would t...

"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling..." Quite frankly, after seeing this movie, I have no interest in seeing any other movie this year. Nothing will come close. It is, simply put, a wondrous piece of cinema. Christopher ...

Darren Aronofsky has done it again. I'm sure hundreds of reviews of this movie have started out with exactly this line, but it needs to be said. This film does exactly what it sets out to and every player involved in making it should be proud. ...

As with (thus far) every Spike Jonze movie, I didn't like it right away. It ended and I sat there saying, "what just happened?" But although I was slightly taken aback, I still knew I had just witnessed something powerful. I truly felt like a kid ...

Wes Anderson once again did not disappoint me. After a string of great live action films, he made this, an entire film shot with stop-motion technology, something that hasn't been done for quite some time. The result is a movie that feels much l...

Four Lions

reviewed on November 16th, 2010 11:46AM

Four Lions is of the funniest movies I've seen in ages. It's also one of the scariest. It's a satire in the most extreme, as it's asking us to follow and sympathize with characters who are terrorists. The movie basically asks, what kind of pers...

This is a very heartfelt comedy about an unconventional family. By unconventional, I mean there's two moms (Julianne Moore and Annette Bening) and no dad in sight. Each mother had a child, both using the same sperm donor, three years apart. Now...

This is a seriously fucked up movie! Not only does our friend Werner Herzog focus a ton of screen time to random reptiles (crocodiles, iguanas, snakes, lizards), but Nicolas Cage is just as drugged out as ever. Only this time he's supposed to be...

Moon

Soooooo good. Sam Rockwell is fantastic in his performance as a lonely man driven to insanity (?) on the moon. The question mark is there because the movie is not at all what you'd expect. It sounds far more boring than it actually is, and in fact...

In one word, this movie is brilliant. In a few more words, it's also scary, funny, surprising, and very entertaining. If you've ever watched a horror movie, you probably know the set up. But right from the get go, literally from the first scene...

Drive to Drive. That's a command. You need to drive to the nearest theater that’s playing Drive and see it. That is, if you can handle it. Director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive is a brutal, violent and shocking movie that will leave many movie...

Thus far, Jason Reitman has done me no wrong. Thank You For Smoking was great, Juno was great, and now, Up in the Air is fantastic. It may very well be his best film yet, which is saying something, because his first two movies are both near and ...

Here we have another movie where Jeff Bridges gets to be awesome. He portrays Rooster Cogburn completely realistically-he's a drunk, he's cocky, and he's got a bit of a dark side. At the same time, he's dedicated, hard-working, and has a softer ...

Bronson

reviewed on February 15th, 2010 10:57PM

Tom Hardy is fantastic as Bronson. His monologues in the theater setting contain the perfect amount of insanity to show off just how crazy this character is. Charles Bronson (not his real name) is a fascinating person. He was raised normally, w...

The Fighter

reviewed on December 25th, 2010 01:59AM

I think the title of this movie should have been The Fighters. Fighting doesn't have to be merely physical, and every character in the movie fights for something. Yes, the emphasis is supposed to be on Wahlberg's Mickey Ward, but the movie focus...

Due Date

I finally got around to seeing this movie recently, and it was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't terrible, and in fact many things about it were done quite well. Soderbergh's directing was top-notch as usual (Ocean's 12 aside). In the end, however,...
