The Mist – Review

Posted by in Movies

I’ve just finished watching The Mist, and I wish I hadn’t.  I feel this movie does not even deserve a review, it’s so terrible.  The story is about a small town near a military base that is suddenly engulfed in a mist so thick you can barely see a metre in front of you, which hides scary monsters from another dimension.  I haven’t read the novella by Stephen King, so I can’t say for certain that this could have been made better or worse by straying from the original story,…read more

The Nines – Review

Posted by in Movies

I had forgotten I wanted to see The Nines back when it came out until I was wandering through Blockbuster and saw it on the shelf.  Ryan Reynolds plays three seperate characters in the film, and actually it’s more like three seperate plots where all the actors play different roles, but they are somehow related in minor ways.  If I ever knew what it was about, I had forgotten; and I think that was for the best.  I can’t say much about the plot without explaining every twist.  In the…read more

Righteous Kill – Review

Posted by in Movies

Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have made over 100 movies in total, over 25 are considered to be great.  This is not one of them!

Super High Me – Review

Posted by in Movies

So I saw this movie in Blockbuster, and realized right away the concept is similar to Super Size Me, the documentary about a guy who eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days.  In this documentary, a comedian decides to go without weed for 30 days, taking various tests of his mental and physical capacities, followed by 30 days of smoking nearly constantly from the time he gets up to the time he goes to sleep.  The idea is to show what, if any, detriments there are to being stones all…read more

Brick – Review

Posted by in Movies

I had forgotten that I wanted to watch Brick until Dan Trachtenberg from The Totally Rad Show mentioned that another movie was good, like Brick. The movie is about a high-school guy who is asked by his ex-girlfriend for help, before she turns up dead and a whole plot is discovered which I won’t spoil in case you haven’t seen it. I’m not familiar with the writer/director, but I have to admit, I love the writing. The people in this movie don’t speak like normal people do, but I really…read more
