Mr. Woodcock (7/10)
A charming and fun comedy with an interesting combination of characters. Writing: The plotting of the film doesn’t break new ground in any particular way, but it feels different enough to separate itself from any similar films. I will give them credit for actually explaining …

In The Valley Of Elah (8/10)
While this is undoubtedly a film featuring some fine acting performances and some nicely written dialog, it’s not a perfect film. Writing: Writer/director/producer Paul Haggis is known primarily as a writer, going as far back as writing for TV shows like Different Strokes, of all …

Resident Evil: Extinction (8/10)
Unlike the majority of the people I know, I rather liked the first two Resident Evil movies. Granted, I knew pretty much nothing of the video game franchise it was based on, beyond the fact that it existed and a very basic genre plot description …

The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters (8/10)
This movie has no right to work as well as it does. And it’s hard to figure out why it works as well as it does. Writing: It’s hard to even consider this movie to be something that’s “written.” Nobody takes credit on the film …

Death Sentence (7/10)
A solid enough revenge thriller. One I definitely would have made some changes to were I directing it, but it works despite some of the weaknesses. I’ll detail some of that at the end of this review, cause they will be extremely spoiler-laden. Writing: This …

Death At A Funeral (8/10)
My main reason for seeing this movie was for a couple of the cast members. Well, the trailer also showed some promise. If you like comedies that are fairly twisted with a dark sense of humor, you won’t be disappointed. Writing: This is one of …

The Brave One (9/10)
This is a movie that is roughly what I was expecting from having seen the advertising, but it takes a different approach. It’s a well told story with fine production and a superb cast. Writing: There have been many films over the years based around …

3:10 To Yuma (10/10)
I know Hollywood is cyclical, but could somebody explain to me why the studios are so against westerns? Or, since I know studios only care about what they perceive audiences care about, could somebody explain to me why audiences dislike westerns so much? Sure, I’d …

Shoot ‘Em Up (4/10)
While this movie may not be as offensively rancid as the atrocity known as Crank, it’s another action movie for the sake of action. It has some great stuff in it, to be sure, but it fails more than it succeeds. Ridiculous scarcely covers the …

Balls Of Fury (7/10)
Like Hot Rod, this movie thrives on the use of stupidity for comedy. It’s dangerous when stupidity is your primary form of comedy in a film, cause it’s either gonna work or it’s not. Thankfully, a majority of the jokes in this one work, much …
