Whatever Works
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: August 31, 2010, No comments yet
Woody Allen is known to experiment with new genres and bring his signature style into thrillers (Matchpoint) as well as quirky comedies. ‘Whatever Works’, his latest, isn’t a very original or fresh idea nor is it a very significant film, but it has the undeniable charm of Woody Allen’s signature ...

The Last Airbender
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: August 19, 2010, No comments yet
Have you ever heard the sound of a nail putting a coffin shut? Listen close enough while watching 'The Last Airbender' and you might just hear it. It's a bastardized, laughably incoherent mess of a movie with some of the worst storytelling and acting ever witnessed. It's not only the ...

Predators
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: July 29, 2010, No comments yet
What started with the classic ‘Predator’ quickly led to a mediocre sequel and was later burned to the ground with the ‘AVP’ movies. But does ‘Predators’ breathe some much needed life into a stale franchise? Although the movie may be flawed, ‘Predators’ is an intense and fresh direction for the ...

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: July 22, 2010, 3 comments so far (is that a lot?)
Summer popcorn movies are a pleasant diversion and sometimes even produce great films. But how much ‘popcorn’ is too much? ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’, the new Jerry Bruckheimer production starring Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel, has some neat special effects and likable actors that ensure a good time at the movies. ...

Inception
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: July 13, 2010, 3 comments so far (is that a lot?)
What happens when you go into a movie with sky high expectations and it still ends up blowing you away? ‘Inception’ had all kinds of buzz behind it thanks to a brilliant director and a very strong concept. Yet ‘Inception’ is much more than that – it’s a masterfully plotted ...

Toy Story 3

Thank God for Pixar. For years now, they have had an unbroken streak of excellent animations that entertain and enlighten children and adults alike. But they got their start with their brilliant debuts in a film about toys. ‘Toy Story’ was followed by an excellent ‘Toy Story 2’ that surpassed ...

She’s Out of My League
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: June 14, 2010, No comments yet
Sex comedies are harder to pull off than it seems. Mostly, they sacrifice any semblance of plot or emotion in favor of cheap and vulgar gags for shock value. Enter ‘She’s Out of My League’, a sex comedy that manages to have plenty of heart and charm while also pleasing ...

The A-Team
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: June 9, 2010, No comments yet
The summer movie season is a time where movie-goers crave mindless popcorn action flicks. Joe Carnahan’s ‘The A-Team’ is just that movie. It’s loud, action-packed and certainly fun for most of its duration, but is entirely forgettable once you exit the cinema hall. Yet for its duration, the charming cast ...

Shrek Forever After
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: June 1, 2010, 1 comment so far
Once a shining franchise, ‘Shrek’ was pulled down to mediocrity with its second sequel ‘Shrek the Third’. Now, in an attempt to repair the damage as well as end the series for good, ‘Shrek Forever After’ comes along. But is it a fitting finale to the franchise? It’s definitely better ...

A Nightmare on Elm Street
Editor's Score: /5.Posted on: May 31, 2010, No comments yet
Horror remakes rarely ever turn out good. The only truly quality ones I can remember are ‘The Crazies’ and ‘Dawn of the Dead’. Michael Bay’s ‘Platinum Dunes’ is responsible for the recent soulless ones including ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. Their recent revival of a horror classic, ‘A ...
