“The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle” on IMDB
Comedy, 98 Minutes, 2009
At the risk of starting out with a spoiler: this is a movie about little, blue butt-fish. It may, indeed, be about more than that but what will stick with you and what you’ll talk about with people that haven’t seen it is little, blue butt-fish. This may be considered, in fact, the official anthem movie for little, blue butt-fish.

One of the most common remarks heard before this released was that the book was “un-filmable”. After it was released, all you really heard was “ooh! A tiger!” The truth, in my opinion, lies someplace in between.

This is the first truly new take on Superman in film since Richard Donner’s [IMDB] 1978 classic “Superman” [IMDB]. Bryan Singer’s [IMDB] 2006 “Superman Returns” [IMDB] essentially completed Donner’s Superman films (rightly ignoring the execrable, non-Donner, third and fourth films). While this excellent film is often misunderstood it must be considered an extension of Donner’s vision rather than a true reboot of DC’s flagship character.

Stand back and let me pitch this to you: two young people meet at college, fall in love and get engaged. She drops out of school to follow her dream, he plans on taking her to Laos as part of “Doctors without Borders”. They haven’t told their parents any of it!
“Oz the Great and Powerful” on IMDB
Fantasy, 130 Minutes, 2013
The Oz-stories have charmed people for over a century and, in fact, were first put to film by Frank L. Baum himself in 1914. The 1939 “Wizard of Oz” [IMDB] is a well-deserved and universally known classic. The unofficial sequel in 1985,”Return to Oz”, [IMDB] was brilliantly dark but is often misunderstood or just plain forgotten. This time director Sam Raimi [IMDB] dives into the pool with a lovingly crafted prequel.
Comedy/Horror, 94 Minutes, 2012
We had it in our heads, for some reason, that this was going to be another terrible SyFy Channel-style CGI-monster crapfest. We crowded around the TV, claws unsheathed, ready to have a blast tearing this terrible piece of shit to tiny shreds. Sadly we ended up disappointed.
You see, it ended up being good. Even very good.

I have no idea what to do with this. It really is beyond me. It’s like being faced with some kind of terrible puzzle that you must solve or be hit in the face with a hatchet and knowing that the only way to win is to be hit in the face with a hatchet. It’s clearly trying to make a statement about racism but in doing so it’s being so incredibly offensive that, well… everybody ends up with a hatchet in the face.
Thriller, 105 Minutes, 2007
The poster says “from the author of ‘Death Wish'” and you should probably take note of that because for all intents and purposes this a remake of that classic. Not in the details, mind you, but in the broad strokes this is soooooo “Death Wish” [IMDB].
