TWILIGHT [2008] review
August 13, 2010
I took a risk. I let my curiosity get the better of me. Thus, I finally decided to watch TWILIGHT to see if there was something in it to warrant all the box office numbers, not to mention books sold. As for the movie, it is one of the worst movies I have seen in recent memory. It is horrid on every level. The acting literally had me laughing in every scene. The dialogue was so basic, so generic, and so awkwardly delivered that the movie was a complete laugh. A to die for romance between Bella and Edward? That was the biggest joke of all.
SHUTTER ISLAND [2010] review
June 30, 2010
Back to presently seen movies, though I was not inspired enough by SHUTTER ISLAND to write its review right after viewing it either. Actually, I think I am done with Martin Scorsese movies made after 1989 all together. Sometimes movies have too much mystery for their own good, where playing it a bit straighter would have been more interesting than twisting again. SHUTTER ISLAND is one such case of too much twisting.
1408 [2007] review
June 30, 2010
Catching up on movie reviews continues with 1408, just a horrible movie that would have worked much better as a short film. As a feature film, it is just an annoying mess of dream sequences, delusion sequences, and not knowing what is real and what is not. The premise is good, a hotel room that is super haunted being stayed in by a professional haunted house writer. Then it either gets all too real or all too silly, or both. Definitely silly.
TERMINATOR SALVATION [2009] review
May 23, 2009
You see, the problem is that THE DARK KNIGHT has set the bar so high for action films, that a film like TERMINATOR SALVATION, bad at any time, seems all the much worse following KNIGHT just a year later. But really TS is just a bad, bad movie. I know for Terminator fans like myself, your still going to go see it. But if you are not a diehard Terminator fan, then by all means do not waste your money on a ticket to this movie. Why was it so bad?
QUANTUM OF SOLACE [2008] review
May 16, 2009
I had bee waiting for quite some time to see QUANTUM OF SOLACE, but this was because I was hesitating to see it out of concerns of its quality. With so many known great movies out there still unseen by me, and I’m only able to see about 55 movies a year, I do not like to take risks on movies that may turn out to waste one of those 55 movie viewing experiences. Was QUANTUM a waste, I cannot say that unqualified since the spectacle on a small scale was ok, but I certainly was not impressed in even the slightest way. This movie is a shadow of CASINO ROYALE, which was not that spectacular either.
WANTED [2008] review
March 23, 2009
I thought at the least, it would be an entertaining action movie, however, WANTED was not even that. I don’t have a problem with having to suspend disbelief when watching modern action movies, but WANTED took this to a whole new level, a level that was beyond even ridiculous. WANTED is the kind of movie you get when you let the CGI department throw in any of its own wildest fantasies. Shooting the wings off of flies? Come on! And that’s the least ridiculous thing you’ll see in the first 30 minutes of the movie.
BE KIND REWIND [2008] review
December 21, 2008
I very rarely find movies boring as I am pretty careful about what I watch, as I don’t have infinite time to watch movies. So when I waste time watching something like BE KIND REWIND, it feels like a missed opportunity to actually see something good.
EAGLE EYE [2008] review
October 20, 2008
EAGLE EYE is the second pairing of actor Shia LaBeouf (FTW) and D.J. Caruso (fail). The first was 2007′s entertainingly good DISTURBIA. The best I can say about EAGLE EYE is that I’d never want to watch it again, but once is almost good action fun, almost. Really, the movie should only be for LaBeouf fans, but there is no smoking hot female co-star this time like in TRANSFORMERS and the aforementioned Disturbia to make up for the ludicrous action scenes that dot this film.
