Roxanne (1987)

Reviewed on Oct 18, 2010

Roxanne? The story’s about her? What about the guy with the nose? It’s all a bit sloppy. And the nose… It’s never a real plot device, there’s not much backstory to it, there’s not a whole lot of comedy to it. It’s just there, pointing into every scene. Why? Martin…

Ponyo (2008)

Reviewed on Oct 12, 2010

Not a wonderful story, almost silly. Less emotional than Princess Mononoke but features the same “selfish humanity versus righteous and magical nature” theme and a familiar Hisaishi score. Miyazaki’s films all feature simplistic humans with theatrical facial expressions and more complex supernatural characters, including tiny, cute ones and large majestic…

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Reviewed on Oct 12, 2010

Not that great of a story. Not enough adult humor. Too much dialogue, or maybe it’s all just spoken too quickly. Every scene seems rushed. Maybe the whole concept is just getting a bit tired. Touching ending, though, even if it is a bit weird seeing a college-aged boy playing…

Sunshine (2007)

Reviewed on Oct 5, 2010

Some good, moody outer space sci-fi, like Solaris. Interesting overall, with lots of cool visuals, but some of the editing choices threw me a bit. By the end, things got too psychedelic. A more personal and touching ending would have been more fitting. Great cast. Everyone is believable and interesting.…

Kull the Conqueror (1997)

Reviewed on Sep 12, 2010

So horrible. Crap story, acting, dialogue, and action, but the electric guitar sends it over the edge. How did Sorbo ever get so big? Famous, I mean. Carrere is hot, as usual.

The Expendables (2010)

Reviewed on Sep 3, 2010

Like Stallone’s recent Rambo, it’s a bloodfest with little story and crap special effects. Why does Stallone’s CGI blood look so shiny? It’s a shame that a movie with such stars has so little character and such poorly shot action.Statham’s the best of the lot. Stallone and Schwarzenegger look like…

Mannequin (1987)

Reviewed on Aug 6, 2010

Extremely stupid. McCarthy’s got charisma, but there’s something about Cattrall I don’t like.

Inception (2010)

Reviewed on Aug 5, 2010

Certainly got me thinking. Theories about dreaming are neatly woven into the plot. Must have been a bitch of a script to write (research says it took eight years), and even more of a bitch to get approved. Warner Brothers put a lot of faith into Nolan for this one.…
