‘THE DICTATOR’ Movie Review: This film is Aladeen, but it’s a pity it wasn’t more Aladeen.

Reviewed by Patrick.

Watching The Dictator, and re-watching Borat and Bruno, makes it pretty clear that Sacha Baron Cohen’s  characters are best fitted to documentary style film and television (let’s not forget the Ali G Show).

Note: This Review Is %100 Spoiler free.

Note: I read comics. But I’m not really going to talk much about the Marvel Universe and it’s relation to this movie. We’ll do that next week, once the films opened up worldwide. But to you geeks, and non geek out there: get prepared. ‘The Avengers’ is one of the all time greats; it’s a movie for the history books.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE’ : The Negativity Towards This Film Is Bullcrap. Nevaldine/Taylor Deliver On All Counts!

Screen shot 2012-03-18 at 3.18.39 AM

I just don’t understand the negativity towards ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance.’ I don’t understand it at all. Then again; I don’t understand the vitriol people spray at directors Nevaldine/Taylor – whose (prior to Ghost Rider) films ‘Crank,’ ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’ and ‘Gamer’ were pissed on in a similar fashion. Before I get on to the body of this review, I’d like to say that I am impressed by the filmmakers and I won’t be crapping on about the duo…well I won’t too much. Read more…

Every year there is one movie that is so darn entertaining and magical that once it finishes; all you can think about is seeing it again! For 2011 ‘The Muppets’ is that movie. Read more…

‘IMMORTALS’ Movie Review: Style Over Substance, Done Right?

Reviewed by Jin:

If I told you Tarsem Singh; director of ‘The Cell’ is doing a Greek mythology action flick: You should know what to expect. I am here to report that the end result is exactly what you expected. And no, that is actually not a bad thing at all. Read more…

‘TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN: PART ONE’ Movie Review: As John Lennon So Wonderfully Put It: “I’m So Tired.”

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN-PART 1

‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn: Part One’ isn’t so much a cinematic disaster – as the previous ones are – as it is a competently made, flaccid and truly mean-spirited mess. Much like its main character Edward Cullen; this film has the capacity to inflict such hurt on people; that the effects may not be known for a long time. Read more…

‘IN TIME’ Movie Review: Smarter And More Entertaining Than Most Of The 2011 Blockbusters

‘In Time’ is not the movie that the trailers make it out to be. And by that I mean it’s not a bad movie at all. I would straight up recommend this movie. Read more…

‘CONTAGION’ Movie Review: Intent Battles Execution In This Conflicted Yet Engaging Film.

Contagion

Note before reading: I really really liked ‘Contagion’ – although this review reads quite harshly, I still think the film is one of the better 2011 films and is definitely worth seeing.

Watching ‘Contagion,’ the newest film from director Steven Soderbergh, is like you’re watching a ‘Friday the 13th’ Movie, and instead of a hockey mask wearing psychopath; you’ve got a virus. And instead of a bunch of idiot teenagers, you’ve got scientists and doctors. It’s an enjoyable film while you are watching it, but once it’s over you see it for all its flaws and general emptiness.

‘REAL STEEL’ Movie Review: Giant Robots Fighting Each Other Finally Done Right!

Film Review Real Steel

Every so often a giant-robots-fighting-each-other movie comes along that is actually good. ‘Night At The Museum’ director Shawn Levy’s new film ‘Real Steel’ didn’t look like it would destroy the incredible run of piece-of-shit-giant-robot movies. Well it does. Read more…
