I'm not exaggerating when I say this is probably the most perfect movie made of all time. There might be better movies, but Point Break achieved the fullness of it's most radical potential. Flawless victory.

This movie is touching, wry, hilarious. Ellen Page stole my heart.

James Bond got all serious this year so they made Shoot Em Up. Kickass.

Having never seen the original Halloween I came into this fresh and walked away with a pretty good feeling. I think Zombie did an excellent job at portraying the young life of Myers while still not providing a hard reason for the massacres, at least provides a little psychological analysis to get the viewer started with analyzing it on their own. The film's pacing was quite good and I was happy to see that the bad guy did appear to die in the end, although no absolute resolution is provided, leaving it open for sequels. Most importantly, nearly every +18 year old female cast member had a topless scene, and the one who didn't was Myers' strip dancer mother, played by Rob Zombie's wife Sherri Moon, who made up for this with a dance sequence exhibiting her ridiculous fitness.
Doesn't top my favorite contemporary horror movie, The Descent, but this was definitely one of the better horror flicks to come out of Hollywood in recent memory.

The pieces fit together so perfectly in this ambitious fairytale that I at first suspected M Night Shyamaln was behind it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a product of my favorite author and occult dramatist Neil Gaiman. Looking back, I should have suspected it when the witches came in threes and the plot soared beyond anythign that could be expressed in a blurb paragrpah as Shyamalan's stories tend to do. I saw this on a whim on a boring Saturday, thinking I was giving something up so my girlfriend could enjoy a 'date movie', but we both left the theater with our hearts and heads fit to burst.

This is a stylish drama about the not-too-distant future in which genetic discrimination has infiltrated nearly every aspect of society. Several remarkable individuals' lives are brought together by the tenacity of one genetically-inferior man who refuses to accept that his potential can be measured by a drop of blood. No detail was left to chance in this meticulous, elegent, and visually arresting film which is disturbingly believable. To be fair, a few of the lines fall a bit flat ('a borrowed ladder', de-gene-erate') but the script is very moving and the acting is subtle and nuanced.

Salon.com used their one precious review of this movie to pan it, but really they wrote the review about their own vocabulary (they give that 5 stars). The problem with them is that you can't go into this film the way you go into Schindler's...

Salon.com used their one precious review of this movie to pan it, but really they wrote the review about their own vocabulary (they give that 5 stars). The problem with them is that you can't go into this film the way you go into Schindler's List. The movie is about characters and a fun vision of the future. Gary Oldman paints a vivid picture of a bizarre villian, Chris Tucker is a brilliant 22nd century media whore and Milla Jovovich is indeed thin, but athletic, not rail-thin as Salon implies. Hippo warriors don't act logically? That's because they are HIPPOPOTAMUS WARRIORS you **** morons.

Why can't you just one time kick it, Salon?
