Comedy, 125 Minutes, 2011
Had a lot of fun with this. The characters were all likable and while admittedly exaggerated and a little single-dimensional all had an engaging, genuine core.

Movie Review: Uninhabited
Horror, 93 Minutes, 2010
Meh. I couldn’t get into this one. Basically it wandered around the point for a while then ended poorly.
A couple decide to get dropped off on an uninhabited island for two weeks. But – ohmygosh! – there’s a ghost on the island. How do we know that? Via the worst exposition technique ever, of course: they find an old journal detailing the only interesting events in the film. Events that we get to hear about, but not see.
The main characters are just punching-bags throughout the entire movie. They display almost no survival instinct at all. It’s like watching baby seals get clubbed. Clubbed by a ghost.

Movie Review: Letters to Juliet
Romance, 105 Minutes, 2010
I find it difficult to review this. There are elements of an absolute classic here, make no mistake. At the same time there are hallmarks of a watch-once-and-throw-away disposable date flick.

Movie Review: YellowBrickRoad
Horror, 96 Minutes, 2010
I did like this – quite a bit actually – but ultimately it collapses under its own weight and that’s a shame. It starts out strong but fragments at the end and wobbles unsteadily between horror movie cliché and attempts at introspective depth.

Movie Review: Pineapple Express
Action Comedy, 111 Minutes, 2008
This one kind of slipped through the cracks for me. It stands out as something that I should have watched a long time ago but somehow never got around to.

Movie Review: Teeth
Horror, 94 Minutes, 2007
This is an excellent movie but not for the squeamish or faint of heart. There’s very little actual gore here, but what there is disturbingly, ball-crunchingly effective. This is a movie that – especially for men – may strike too close to home.

Movie Review: The Bannon Way
Crime/Comedy, 93 Minutes, 2010
My brother suggested I watch this and when a movie has a better-than-average chance of being good I like to wait and watch with my lovely bride (who has less patience for schlock that I do). So tonight we sat down and enjoyed this.

Movie Review: The Town
Crime Drama, 125 Minutes, 2010
Ben Affleck takes a lot of crap (it might be because he’s done a lot of shitty movies, but that’s just a guess) but he actually pulls this one off pretty well. It may just nostalgia for Boston (we lived there for 15 years) but we,both my wife and I, enjoyed this.
