Pandorum

Horror, Science Fiction

What is 'pandorum'? It's the technical term in this film for a psychotic condition brought on by the pressures of travel in deep space. Director Christian Alvart's tale of humans trapped on a spaceship crosses zombie movies with elements of Apocalypse Now and The Island of Dr. Moreau.

ZebraMan

I'd like to start this review by quoting Aunt May from the Spider-Man franchise:

Quote:

"I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and...

Brothers

Drama

Been awhile since I've been around here, so decided to review something I've seen recentley.

While everyone is out going ga ga over the movie AVATAR I decided not to see that movie and instead watch this because it seemed more interesting. This will be short and sweet.

It stars Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and...

The Changeling

The Changeling (1980)

Horror

They just don't make them like this anymore folks.

File the original 'Changeling' under the spooky category. There's no real violence or gore, but it has plenty of atmosphere, thanks to skillful direction by Peter Medak, who set up most of the shots to appear as though some other person was watching the action.

Zombieland

WARNING: A few spoilers here may ruin your fun.

I'm not much on horror, but once in a while I'll check something out.  As soon I had seen this trailer I had to see this movie.  Plus it had Woody Harrelson in it.  I liked it so much I've now seen it twice.(remember twice)

9

Animation, Fantasy

A group of sentient rag dolls (also known as 'stitch-punks') fight for survival in the ruins of a decaying post-apocalyptic world.

9 is a full-length adaption of director Shane Acker's 2005 short film of the same name. The story feels very original, and yet somehow the plot ends up being very easy to deduce. It seems marketed to...

District 9

Drama, Science Fiction

Directed by Neill Blomkamp, District 9 is filmed as though it were a documentary. First contact with an alien species has finally happened, but it's not how anyone expected. An alien ship arrived on Earth almost twenty years ago. Instead of parking itself at an important city like New York or London, it stopped over Johannsburg, South Africa,...

Burn After Reading

Comedy, Crime

A pitch black comedy of errors involving dim-witted gym trainers trying to blackmail an ex-CIA analyst. Starring Brad Pitt, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and George Clooney as a crew of very stupid, utterly unlikable characters. In typical Coen Bros. fashion it features a labrynthine plot and absurdist comedy, but 'Burn...

Prom Night in Mississippi

I love documentries especially if it is informative and not slanted, but a lot of times you can't tell what is and isn't.  But if you want to see a very good documentry on what racism has done to a small town and high school in Mississippi, then check this one out.  In fact, I couldn't believe something like this still goes on in our...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Fantasy

The sixth of the Harry Potter films, 'Half-Blood Prince' continues the series' slow spiral into ever-darker magical terrain. As expected the three friends (Harry, Hermione and Ron) are older and their priorities have changed. For example, the movie begins with Harry reading in a subway cafe, effortlessly flirting with a buxom waitress. She asks...
