Rojo: “I really cannot recommend this film enough. The score, cinematography, direction and acting all come together in a totally seemless blend of sadness, anger and pure joy. If you want to see Andy and Red meet on the Mexican beach again, and feel it like it felt the first time, go and watch Slumdog Millionaire. It is written.”

Rojo: “There are consequences for living like Dirty Harry, and they hit home hard before the end, an uplifting blend of John Wayne’s last film, The Shootist and Good Will Hunting.”

Javen: Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can’t stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to strike back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink human blood to live he’s faced with a choice. How much can love forgive? ‘Let The Right One In’ is a story both violent and highly romantic, set in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg. With Swedish subtitles.

Rojo: “Quantum of Solace is a taut, superior slab of entertainment cinema. On one level light and simple but endlessly more complex under the surface. You may not think so as the final credits begin to roll, but it stays with you, mainly thanks to the completely satisfying nature of the performances and direction.”

The Unnameable II: The Statement of…
I’ll give ‘Unnameable II’ slightly higher marks for featuring Patricia Ford nude for most of the film, Unnameable should be renamed ‘Unsexable’ in honor of the conspicuously asexual hero of the film. Funny from a b-movie standpoint, but not the least bit scary.

Based upon the Lovecraft story of the same name, a 70’s psychedelic horror story about a warlock sacrificing a virgin on a stone altar in order to usher in evil, ancient gods. It features dirty hippies as cultists, a hauntingly good score, but no real scares.

I give it a C+. I recommend Vacancy instead — it is way better and has somewhat of a same concept, only it involves a motel in the middle of nowhere and it’s just scarier. I hope The Strangers don’t come a knocking.

The one-liners were trying at times. The fit-in with existing canon is problematic as well, with there being a 3rd Sith, Asajj Ventress, whom Skywalker and Kenobi have to fight. Considering how much quality animation was in the prequel trilogy, this film is certainly a letdown in that department.

The Dark Knight is comic book summer entertainment taken to its logical next level. On a lesser scale it’s comparable to Brian Singer’s X-Men 2 and Superman Returns, both movies that sought to bring intelligence and complexity to a genre of movies that, for the most part, lack these things. The Dark Knight outshines all of these; it’s a dark morality play, an acting showcase, a masterpiece. Truly the summer’s Dark Knight, not what we were wanting, but what we needed.

If you want to bask in nostalgia and relive the good old days before CG, go and watch Indy 4. It’s awesome fun, and many of the references and in jokes will set you giggling in the aisles. Be prepared for a glimpse of the Ark and for Spielberg nipping talk of a LaBeouf based sequel neatly in the bud, but not for anything particularly new or cataclysmic.

It has tough action, but also both funny banter and physical gags. Downey Jr. is the perfect choice for this, at turns both convincingly serious and childish. The outcome is fabulously entertaining fare, cool, slick and funny.

The Other Boleyn Girl is an engaging historic romp, more about character than history, but you can’t shake the feeling that half of the cast are dark users and the other half completely powerless wet blankets. This aside, a recommended way to spend a couple of hours, even if only to bask in the sumptuousness of it all.

The film as a whole is curiously disjointed, as said above characters come and go, but taken as a character study of two men of wholly different faiths it’s peerless film-making.

A Godzilla-like monster romps all over NYC, spreading mayhem and destruction. A mix of Blair Witch and Godzilla. What if a Godzilla movie were told from the perspective of the typical Japanese civilian? Reviewed by Rojo.

Mariah Carey is ‘Billy’, a young girl from the streets who dresses like a hootchie mama but with big dreams of becoming a star. Vapid, contrived, egotistical and unintentionally funny, ‘Glitter’ gets low ratings as a straight film, but big stars for fans of b-movies.

David Arquette’s directorial debut would seem to be my subconscious on film — a psychopath wearing a Ronald Reagan masks murders pill-popping hippies. Aside from being relentlessly unscary, Arquette never seems to decide who he hates more, conservatives or hippies who spend too much time getting high, instead of trying to really change the world. Contains a few laughs.

Very moving film, telling the story from the frame of the passengers and crew of United Flight 93. It also brings in the images of the WTC, and the coordinated goings on at NORAD, FAA and several ATC sites (Boston, Newark, New York, Cleveland among others)

Legendary blind swordsman ‘Zatoichi’ returns to bring peace to the Japanese countryside, by killing everyone. An entertaining film, check out the ending when Zatoichi kills every villain intercut with vignettes from a musical number featuring every character from the film dancing wildly. I think Zatoichi is some kind of Japanese ‘Robin Hood’ — except he kills people with a sword.

Based on Sergei Lukyanenko’s best-selling Russian novel, the basic premise of ‘Night Watch’ is that there are Others. These ‘Others’ are human, but have special abilities and powers that are realized only when they suddenly use their abilities to save themselves, or are exposed to other Others. The main character ‘Anton’ is a member of the ‘Night Watch’ a group of supernatural officers who exist to enforce the truce between Light and Dark. It’s got a great soundtrack, dizzying visuals, and an entertaining story.

A campy b-movie that has everything if you’re in the market for high-quality crap. It’s got promiscuous teens, an alien monster on the rampage. But it’s also got a character named Mike, who is like ‘Randy’ from the ‘Scream’ movies, but better.

The Prince of Peace returns to kick some vampire tuckus. Campy but very funny in parts. Also starring Santos, the famed masked Mexican wrestler of legend. Seriously, he’s like the Hulk Hogan of Mexico.

An interesting horror film with an anti-drug message. When yuppies mysteriously lose all their hair and become raging homicidal maniacs, the cause is determined to be some bad acid that they took nearly a decade earlier. Not very scary, and only unintentionally funny at time.

A cinematic version of the classic ‘the call is coming from the upstairs phone’ campfire story. The first half of the film is scary, the second half is fairly boring. The psychopath gets little character development — he’s crazy, that’s his character.

Keanu Reeves is Constantine, a chain-smoking hellbound occult investigator, who sends demons back to the nether regions in order to buy his way back into God’s good graces. It’s got funny moments, inscrutable dialogue (Keanu: “Water is a lubricant between spiritual realms.”) and plenty of action.
