Edge of Tomorrow


The ending made me feel as lost as Cruise's character, but it's still an inventive, well-written and visually stunning blast. Never has repetition felt so fun.

3/4

Maleficient


It looks great, and Angelina Jolie (who also looks great) are in on the fun, but characterization and clear motivation are as inactive and inert as Sleeping Beauty.

2/4

From Dusk Till Dawn


It's a terribly selfish movie, looks like it was a blast to make but the audience is completely screwed out of the fun.

0/4

The Starving Games


The entries in the spoofing franchise have became so fucking lazy I'd be shocked if someone even woke up to direct it. That's the problem. There's no direction, no brains, and far from anything resembling humor in any of this Shit. It's such a shame that that back in 2000, Scary Movie started all these spoofs and that was actually funny! It's impossible to remember considering that movie is now suffocating under the mountain of trash that has been stuffed into a bin since 2001.

The main actress who plays Kantmiss (sadly one of the best jokes, I kid you not) isn't funny. No one's funny or in control of what they're doing. I kept looking above their heads for giant strings or someone's hand going right up their asses. What's worse is that it takes a good feature film length of 90 minutes and drags it so far from Hell that you can see stretch marks by the time it's over.

If movies continue at this level of quality (aka none at all) I vote we have a real Purge and wipe out anyone involved in the creation of these demonic entity movies that couldn't be any more allergic to real comedy.

The Dark Knight Rises


There's definitely tons of va va va voom here and the newcomers more then hold their own, but unfortunately there is too many of them, too many subplots, and too many flashbacks. It needed to be a miniseries as opposed to a feature length film.

2/4

LOL


It's a rare breed of movie; one so peculiar, contrived, and ludicrous, that I kept waiting for the characters to shed their human masks and take off into their pods.

0/4

The Truman Show


It resonates in your memory, tickles your funny bone, and breaks your heart. Also valid proof that Jim Carrey is far from a one-trick pony.

4/4

The Grand Budapest Hotel


The dream-like visuals, the splendid cast's work, the scripts magnificent quirk and charm....all delicious.

4/4

X-Men: Days of Future Past


A tad long, but it's such a buffet of visual and mental delight, Hugh Jackman & Jennifer Lawrence are as splendid as ever and Evan Peters (Quicksilver) almost steals the show.

3/4

Devil's Due


Ironic that the whole thing is shot on a handheld camera because the whole movie feels like it's missing reels. Or any type of comprehension over what is scary.

0/4

Vampire Academy


Feels completely bloodless and pointless and for God's sake, what age group was this made for?
