11/07/2012: Savages [2012]

Oliver Stone returns with Savages, and like everyone I was curious to see whether this would be his next big thing or another flop. He sets us up for a tale of two entrepreneur drug dealers against the Mexican cartel, promising us violence, drugs, and sex. I must say, he delivers that and more, although he does have a few weakness. The ending however may be my favourite part, and continues to show why Oliver Stone is such a bold filmmaker.

07/07/2012: The Amazing Spiderman [2012]

I had just finished rushing out of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer and into The Amazing Spiderman as the opening titles began to roll. Throwing on my 3D glasses I picked a spot on the side, about half way up. One friend followed me, while the other two sat low and in the middle. So, what is more important to you, height or angle? As for The Amazing Spiderman, well it kind of self titled itself.

07/07/2012: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter [2012]

Just after finishing Moonrise Kingdom, I headed to the next theater. I eventually wandered in, with the standard pre-pre-show show playing, and waited for my friends to join me from Ted. AL:VH showed a lot of promise, although I had been on the edge about seeing it in theaters. But as usual, all it takes is one name, and this time it was Timur Bekmambetov. So, how preposterous was the idea of Abraham Lincoln as a vampire slayer? Not as crazy as you might think. Based on the terms usage today, you might’ve been able to slap a "Based On True Events" tag on this beast.

07/07/2012: Moonrise Kingdom [2012]

So yesterday I headed out to the theater with my friends to spend the entire day watching movies. I had not really planned anything and had simply been told that we were heading out after lunch and they had arranged it so we could watch as many movies as possible for the rest of the day. The first movie on their billet was Ted, but when we arrived, I saw to my surprise Moonrise Kingdom was playing and while I was five minutes late, I figured I’d only miss the previews. 

13/06/2012: Species [1995]

When I put on Species, I really wasn't expecting a modern day alien sci-fi B-movie. But that is what I got and I was by no means disappointed. With a solid plot and a particularly interesting and surprising cast, Species was a nice bit of entertainment for a Wednesday night. Now I only wonder if the rest can maintain that same feeling.

Caption This! [06/07/2012]

So while I was trying to think up some new things for the blog, seeing as my previous attempts fizzled out, I figured this time I would have whatever audience is out there do the work. So, hoping there is an audience out there to participate I'll lay out the rules.

So as the title states, this is pretty simple. Every week I will throw up a completely random screenshot, from what is literally hundreds I tend to snap getting the ones I use in my reviews. However, instead of me coming up with something witty, or often completely random to caption the picture with, who ever decides to read this will. Have fun!

This one's from Fargo. Between those two's faces, you gotta be able to think of something.
