Paranoid Park
Wow I hated this film. The scenes dragged on forever and the plot didn't seem to move. I couldn't endure the entire thing because of the way the director drags out almost every scene so badly. There is some kind of a murder involved but that...

Semi-Pro
Since I like Basketball and Will Ferrell I enjoyed this film. The plot is kinda tacked on and it gets predictable towards the end, but I still enjoyed some of the slap stick and one liners.

Meet the Spartans
Flopped on its face from the first scene. Avoid this at all costs because its all about cheap nasty predictable jokes and some that just leave you wondering why they put them in their in the first place. Too many gay references and a poor spoof...

Juno
Not a bad chick flick. Its message isn't so great but I enjoyed the main character Juno's personality never the less. It tended to be predictable but the plot was still worth watching.

The Bank Job
Not bad. I wouldn't break your budget to watch this film but overall it has talented actors and a half decent plot.

Into the Wild
Absolutely the best movie I've watched all year. Gripping drama, comedy and thrilling to watch as this true story unfolds. Traveling around the U.S with Chris aka Alex Supertramp really draws you in and gives you a better understanding for why he...

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
An excellent documentary following the efforts of Steve Weibe who is chasing the title of Donkey Kong champion up against Billy Mitchell the current world champ. For a gamer like myself it was a treat seeing people taking the old arcade seriously,...

Cloverfield
Not a bad film. It was shot entirely from the perspective of a home cam so at times it feels like the cam is bouncing around a lot. Its fast paced and exciting at times but I personally am not a huge Godzilla/aliens taking over the world type...

Hitman
Despite what some are thinking, I personally enjoyed the film all the way through. No, this portrait of Agent 47 isn't picture perfect with the games character and/or gaming objectives, but it does a good job IMO. The characters are lovable at...

Saw IV
A solid start and a good build up to the "game" being played in this movie. Decent writing again in this plot. The gore was jacked way up past 10 in this also, though at the risk of being shunned I do feel that the acting was lame at...

Mr. Woodcock
Good film with a few gags and some predictable humor but overall its worth seeing Sean Scott and Billy Bob battle it out in this plot.

Knocked Up
Enjoyable film. Humorous and educational at times, but overall a life lesson and morals type movie that has a few quirky characters that maintain your interest for a couple hours.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Hilarious film that really cracked me up most the way through when I wasn't feeling sorry for Larry. Sandler brings heaps of laughs with James. great acting, cool plot and a whole lotta crazy stuff goin on.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
A well polished movie imo. The S.E were awesome of course, and I really enjoyed the Silver Surfer character. Funny at times, serious and action packed. I thought it was a great film and I really felt empathy for the Silver Surfer.

Rush Hour 3
Pretty cool movie, that has its moments. All the old familiar styling from the previous 2 Rush Hours recycled into this new movie.

The Bourne Ultimatum
So totally worth owning once it comes to DVD. This trilogy making installment is jam packed with action, suspense, thrills and spills. The plot was intense and well thought out. The acting deserves 5/5 in this one as well.

Vacancy
Take it with a grain of salt. You'll enjoy it if you leave your cynicism in the car. I enjoyed it alot and thought the acting was great and the plot was generally original. Would liked to have seen more gore but then again i've never seen a movie...

Being someone who is accustomed to hospital stays because of injuries and someone who has worked in the insurance industry, I feel that this movie really hits the nail on the head.

Live Free or Die Hard
Easily one of the best films this year, and possibly the best Die Hard yet. Die Hard 4 is a non-stop roller coaster of action thrills and spills.

License to Wed
A film that really lets you empathize with the lead characters. I think it was a brave move for Robin Williams to portrait the priest in this film because outside of his characters comedic teachings its kind of dull.

The plot is all...

Evan Almighty
A "save the world" theme wrapped up in a nice neat comedy with a little slap stick and humor that sometimes gets you thinking.

Transformers
Jam packed with action, just like it should be. The director did a decent job of making this a really memorable film. Filled with battle scenes and slightly out of place touching moments this film did extremely well with bringing the Transformers...

Black Snake Moan
Very interesting roles and plot.

Fine acting all around in this film. Both Jackson and Ricci did good jobs with what they had. I've never seen any film quite like this one does. The plot takes its time here and could show a little...
