The Crazies
Biochemical weapon landing in a small town + People going ape shit x 28 Days Later-esque anger = Awesome.
After seeing this movie, I have nothing left to look forward to. THIS was the movie of the year for me. Meaning, I have nothing else I’m dying to see. Yes, I wanna see Iron Man 2. Yes, I’ll probably watch Nightmare on Elm Street the remake because it actually looks pretty...

Dead Snow
Zombie Nazis = Awesome
This poster is cooler and the original foreign version:
When it comes to zombie movies, they are all pretty much the same. A bunch of people die, and a small group find themselves trying to survive. Each one of them gets picked off until the end where there’s usually two or sometimes one left.
Throwing a twist in like Nazis who retreated into the cold woods of...

Quick Flick: A Single Man
Colin Firth + 60s Closeted College Professor x Loss, Confusion, Chance = Awesome.
What a phenomenal movie.
This is a story set in America in the 60s about a gay British college professor, George, who’s long term love dies in a car accident. Homosexuality wasn’t fully accepted in that era, so you are led to believe he never got closure; his grieving never came to an end. With all...

Quick Flick: New York, I Love You
A.D.D. + Cast Overload x Random Stories / What the Hell is the Connection? = Meh.
I feel like I could have just watched TV for like an hour and a half and changed the channel every ten minutes and it would have been the same as watching this movie.
I did not see Paris, I Love You, but if it was the French version of this, I think I’m good to go. No thank you.
If you have attention...

Shutter Island
Scorsese + DiCaprio x suspense thriller / WTF? = Awesome.
Shutter Island got mixed reviews from many, but my review is certain; I loved it. The two and a half hour long intense story kept me guessing the whole time (and on the edge of my seat waiting for things to come out of the dark and jump out from corners. My whole body was shaking by the end due to keeping my muscles tense the entire...

Quick Flick: Adam
Asperger Syndrome + Love Story = Meh.
I had higher hopes for this movie. It was very good, but does not get the Awesome stamp of approval.
It hooked my emotions from the get go. Asperger Syndrome is a very interesting/intriguing (in a non-scientific-yet-wanting-to-understand-it way) autism spectrum disorder. To write a script about a grown man’s social disability and interaction with a...

The Lovely Bones
After a slight hiatus, let’s get back to this movie thing.
Great Book x Not So Great Movie = Meh.
The book was excellent. I read it a few years ago via a recommendation from a friend, and I couldn’t put it down as soon as I opened it.
This movie, however, was very drawn out and kind of boring. The story held true to the book, which I find very rare in novel to film translation....

Legion
Angels + Machine Guns = (officially) Crap (unofficially I give it a Meh with some Awesome on the side.)
When I first saw previews for this movie, my initial thought was:
This is going to be the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen, and I can’t wait to see it.
After seeing it, this movie is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen, and I loved every moment of it. It was gross. It...

Quick Flick: Sixteen Candles
Coming of age story + John Hughes = Awesome.
In honor of my twenty seven candles today (jesus that’s a lot of candles) I decided to reflect on this blast from the past.
John Hughes was the perfect person to tell the story of teenage life in the eighties. (If he was still able to make movies today, they would probably make people’s heads explode from the awesomeness.) He nailed it...

Quick Flick: American Zombie
Zombies x Documentary = Awesome.
It’s not a secret that I love zombies. (It’s rather sick how infatuated I am with them.)
So, I watch zombie movies all the time. I’ve seen some shitty ones (Hard Rock Zombies is the worst one) and I’ve seen some awesome ones (28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, Boy Eats Girl…the list goes on) but this one is definitely at the top.

Quick Flick: They Live
Rowdy Roddy Piper + Greatest Fight Scene ever made x Subliminal Messages = Awesome.
I love this movie.
I LOVE this movie.
It’s cheesy and amusing and holds some very true economic and political undertones (for a science fiction movie made in the 80s.)
Rowdy Roddy Piper (that name is great) is homeless and finds his way to LA looking for manual labor and a paycheck. He meets Frank, a...

Quick Flick: Paranormal Activity
$15,000 + 7 day shooting schedule = Awesome.
Yeah, that’s right, I loved this movie. You know why?
It’s not a remake.
It’s not a torture film.
It’s not about monsters.
It’s not about aliens.
It’s not about a serial killer.
It’s not a remake. (Did I mention that already? That’s pretty important.)
It’s just plain scary. I hated (HATED)...

Youth in Revolt
Good Michael Cera + Bad Michael Cera = Meh.
I really don’t have too much to say about this film other than it was exactly what I rated it. Meh.
The story wasn’t that great. Michael Cera played the same innocent sweet boy trying to get the girl once again. Really this movie only made me want to read the book to see what else the real kid got up to, and if this clip of a movie had...

Quick Flick: Fanboys
Star Whores + Trekkies / Cancer x One last epic adventure = Awesome.
What a fun wholesome (ok, maybe not) movie for all. It’s a story of love, devotion, heartache, and victory.
Take four dudes…a wolf pack if you will…where one of them gets the call that he’s dying. What better way to go out then try to break into the Skywalker Ranch to steal a rough copy of Episode 1?...
Spoiler Alert: Ghost Writer
What the hell is this?
Talk about a flaming pile… maybe Boondock Saints 2 wasn’t so bad after all.
Seriously, what the hell is this?

Quick Flick: Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
Original cast with Irish Jesus persona + Dreadful female Willem Dafoe epic fail x lots and lots and lots of slow motion shooting sequences / the thought of it being a trilogy = Crap. (A big steaming pile possibly burning in a baggy on my doorstep.)
This movie sucks. Huge balls.
I’m not gonna lie when I say I was kind of excited to see a sequel to the original Boondock Saints. That movie...

Spoiler Alert: Greenberg
Ben Stiller + Noah Baumbach x Serious non slap stick role = Awesome
I have a sweet spot for comedians who play in dramas. One of my top five favorite movies of all time is Stranger Than Fiction starring Will Ferrell. I thought he was perfect in that role. Jim Carrey in The Truman Show (funny, but not Dumb and Dumber funny) and Eternal Sunshine (but not so much Number 23; that movie kind...

Spoiler Alert: Book of Eli
Directors of Menace ll Society + Denzel portraying Robert Neville if he would have been picked for I Am Legend x the last remaining bible in existence which apparently can save mankind / a slapdash town with a desire to rule the world (I’m sure evil laughs ensue) = Meh.
I Am Legend 2, anybody?
This movie will be yet another disappointing, but entertaining film. The most exciting part...

Daybreakers
R rated Twilight + Edward the vampire played by Ethan Hawke + Lyle Lovett, I mean, Willem Dafoe as a southern belle Elvis x Lack of human blood, but a really cool concept on how to fix it / power struggle between humans and euro-trash vampires = Meh.
As the first movie of 2010, Daybreakers kicked off the year with a Meh rating. The concept was cool, but was not executed to it’s fullest...
Spoiler Alert: Karate Kid
Will Smith’s kid + Worst Martial Arts guy they could possibly pick to fill the role of Mr. Miyagi = Crap.
Jackie Chan. Really? Really?! Jacket on, Jacket off? REALLY? Jesus people.
Why not Steven Chow, or Jet Li, or even that dude from the live action Jungle Book?
Yeah, this movie is going to suck. I wish Hollywood would stop remaking stuff. Some of these remakes are perfection...
Quick Flick: Terminator Salvation
Half Machine Dude from Avatar - “Get to da choppa!!!” + John Conner voiced by Batman x technologically advanced everything not consistent with the original series = Meh.
This movie would have gotten the Awesome stamp of approval if it wasn’t part of the Terminator series. It was action packed with some cool new machines and “new” old characters. (Does that make...
Quick Flick: Pirate Radio
Music circa ’60s + Damn the Man x British Motif / Titanic with a happier ending = Awesome.
Pirate radio is fun AND factual. (Hot damn.)
Set in the 60’s when rock-n-roll was banned from British airways, this random group comes together to say “Screw the Queen” and literally broadcasts from a ship off the shore of the United Kingdom. With over 25 million secret...
