MAMMA MIA! (DVD)
Posted on January 6, 2009 by Rory L. Aronsky in reviews
More fluff like “Mamma Mia!” than “Made of Honor” would make mid-year moviegoing a happier experience.  |

BEDTIME STORIES
Posted on January 6, 2009 by Michael Ferraro in reviews
I’ve seen better special effects in Troma releases – films with a smaller budget than the amount spent on this film’s catering. |

SEVEN POUNDS
Posted on January 5, 2009 by Scott Mendelson in reviews
I recommend eventually seeing "Seven Pounds" for the acting and the questions that it will provoke. It is a challenging and thoughtful film, and the fact that it doesn’t quite work does not diminish the fact that something like this was attempted by a major studio with the biggest star on the planet. |

THE IRONMAN
Posted on January 4, 2009 by Brad Wilke in reviews
There's not much to recommend in this film. The jokes aren't funny, the characters are poorly developed and the story is hardly compelling. The real question here is how this movie ever got made in the first place... |

RETURN OF THE BLIND DEAD
Posted on January 4, 2009 by Jeremy Zoss in reviews
Sometimes you need to watch a really bad movie, and this one will do perfectly. Otherwise, avoid it like Mexican tap water... |

TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD
Posted on January 4, 2009 by Jeremy Zoss in reviews
Overacting, horrible special effects and cheesy, subtitled dialogue are enough to separate "Blind Dead" from the pack of campy, fun horror films and place it into the bargain bin of dreadfully bad movie mistakes... |

COWBOY KILLER
Posted on January 3, 2009 by James Teitelbaum in reviews
Eventually, the novelty may (or may not) wear off, adulthood may rear it’s ugly head, and the idea of watching bad films on purpose may begin to lose its luster. |

10 YARDS
Posted on January 3, 2009 by Brad Wilke in reviews
Made by a trio of friends who are not as funny as they seem to think, "10 Yards" is an awkward documentary about fantasy football that plays more like an amateur home video than a non-fiction film |

BOYSTOWN (aka CHUECATOWN)
Posted on January 2, 2009 by James Teitelbaum in reviews
The film is tightly scripted, and most of the performances are good. But, I can’t resist making one further Almovodar comparison here: Almovodar likes strong female characters. A lot. Although “Boystown” is ostensibly about gay men, the very best characters here are both older women |
