Catch Up

Yeah, It's been awhile

Death At A Funeral

If you've seen the original, there is nothing new brought to this. It's the same movie done by different actors. Some of it still worked, the performances from Columbus Short, Marsden, Glover, and Luke Wilson did well. If you haven't seen the original but want to see the new one, go ahead.

Overall Grade: C

Oceans

Beautifully shot, but the narration of Bronson is rather dull, and it ends with a message we've seen too many times before

Overall Grade: C

The Losers

Somewhat enjoyable, but there are too many scenes that were stupid and most of the comedy didn't work. If you want to watch a big stupid PG-13 action movie, you'll enjoy this. This film has a shitty villian though, he seemed bored. Columbus Short was good in this, everyone else was ok. The final ending moment was stupid.

Overall Grade: C

Nightmare On Elm Street

What an unnessesary remake, well-done lighting mixed with shitty performances. Jackie Earle Haley's Kruger was rather boring, all the humor of the original is gone. Don't waste your time.

Overall Grade: D-

I Love You Phillip Morris

Ewen McGregor is on a roll this year, and this is one of Jim Carrey's best comedies. The sexual content may be uncomfortable for some (makes Brokeback Mountain seem tame), but if you can sit through it, you'll find yourself laughing through the entertaining black comedy. Also one of my favorites this year.

Overall Grade: A-

Iron Man 2

I'm pretty dissapointed with this one, it was too heavy on plot and pretty light on action. The film was uneven, and it reminded me of Spider Man 3 at times. The performances are all good, and Faverau seems to improve as a director. I think they were cramming too much just to set up the Avengers movie.

Overall Grade: C
