An Un-spoilered Review: Moon (2009)

Moon was released in a handful of theaters in LA last weekend. From the trailers, I thought it would be like Solaris. Now that I’ve seen it, I can say it’s very different. I like it more then Solaris.
I don’t want to give too much of the movie away, but Sam Rockwell did a [...]

Watchmen

I went to the midnight opening of Watchmen like most fans probably did and I tried not to have my expectations too high. I already read that the filmmakers changed the ending from the way it was in the book, but I was curious if their change would work.

Lars and the Real Girl

The characters and their reaction [...]

The Wackness

The Wackness is about a psychiatrist named Dr. Squires (played by Ben Kingsley) and his client, Luke Shapiro. Luke just graduated high school and just so happens to also be Dr. Squires’ marijuana dealer. Instead of a bunch of hilarity coming out of it, the movie is more of a drama with some [...]
