SHERLOCK HOLMES (2009)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/ Directed by Guy Ritchie Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle penned some amazing stories involving the amazing detective Sherlock Holmes and his good friend Dr. Watson. The stories were involved, smart,well written mysteries that had people clamoring for more. This film isn’t that. It’s Guy Richie. It has slow motion. Things explode. It’s not all that complex or smart. However, it’s a lot of fun! I don’t go to Disneyland, jump on a ride, and complain about there not … Read entire article »

REPO! The Genetic Opera (2008)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963194/ Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman REPO! made me sit up and take note as soon as it began. It was interesting stylistically and managed blend film and opera-like presentation very well. It split me down the middle, however, and had me liking it and disliking it all along the way, which managed to hold my interest even more and solidified my feeling that watching it was a good idea on the whole. In the plus column we … Read entire article »

UHF (1989)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098546/ Directed by Jay Levey In the ‘Guilty Pleasures” department… Remember the 80s? Remember ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic? Well, put the two together and you get the strange little film UHF. Follow along through the stream of consciousness of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic as he parodies movies left and right in Walter Mitty style. Not that it matters at all, but Yankovic is tasked with running his uncle’s UHF TV station. They are up against “Big TV” and have little to no hope … Read entire article »

Wanted (2008)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493464/ Directed by Timur Bekmambetov First, let’s start with this. Steps to follow to enjoy the movie: 1. Remove brain. 2. Make popcorn. 3. Sit back and enjoy! Based on a comic, WANTED delivers on it’s trailer promises. Things blow up, people get shot, cars flip, and action abounds. Angelina Jolie is…well…herself as usual. She slinks around in her post Sky Captain, “too skinny” body and plays tough with James “Who Are You?” McAvoy and, honestly, you really don’t give … Read entire article »

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) (Män som hatar kvinnor )
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132620/ I had the pleasure of seeing this film without knowing a thing about it. If you have not read the book, like mysteries and have managed to avoid hearing reviews and the like, stop reading right now and go see it. For the rest of you, read on. I loved this movie. I settled into it’s Swed-goodness and was pleased with what I saw. To sum up in brief as not to give … Read entire article »

A Wedding (1978)
A Wedding (1978) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078481/ As a Robert Altman fan, I have to say that this strange little view of weddings, families and all that they involve has to be one of my personal favorites. WEDDING is quirky, happy-sad-silly movie makes me smile every time I see it. As viewers, we are invited in as guests to the wedding and reception of two eccentric and quirky families. (Too bad we’re the only ones who bothered to show up.) The … Read entire article »

The Crazies (2010)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455407/ THE CRAZIES delivered some fantastic scares, fun thrills and took the original to new heights! Now, don’t get me wrong – I really enjoyed the original. But, the old school pace and budget made it challenging to watch at times. This revamp of the original amps things up to 11 and grabs you right out of the gate. Minutes in, the movie takes it’s first turns for the horrid with the baseball scene shown in the … Read entire article »
