I’ll Eat You Up I Love You So
On May - 18 - 2012
Entrance is a low budget horror/psychological thriller based around the life of Suzy (Suziey Block) and her being a young transplant in Los Angeles. You see her daily life as a twenty-something, mostly divided up between being a barista and taking care of her dog. On occasion, you see
her jadedly out and about in social settings, whether out with her friends or deciding to pick a guy up at a bar.
As the movie develops, you start to see Suzy feeling uncomfortable at home and around her neighborhood, hearing sounds in her home that make her feel like someone’s sneaking around without her knowledge. This goes further in a scene where Suzy is asleep with one of her friends, and you see the camera flashes, letting you know someone else IS in fact present.

Will the Real Admiral General Aladeen Please Stand Up?
On May - 17 - 2012
Sacha Baron Cohen is one of those writer/actors that most people either love or hate. I happen to love him. Borat was hilarious, and I didn’t think Bruno was very far off (a lot of people hate that one). In his most recent film, The Dictator, he plays Admiral General Aladeen, the leader of a fictitious middle eastern nation called Wadiya.
Minor plot spoilers below. By minor I mean if you didn’t figure it out from the trailers shame on you.
Tim Burton + Soap = Mildy Amusing Camp
On May - 14 - 2012
Dark Shadows is the 8th and latest teaming of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. It is based on a soap opera of the same name that aired from 1966-1971. Tim Burton took the franchise and turned it into a comedy often dealing with Barnabas Collins’ adjustment to the 70′s from the 18th century that he was familiar with.

Feel the Wrath
On May - 3 - 2012
Perseus defeated the Kraken and saved, well, everything. Now it’s about 10 years after that. He has a son, stupid hair, his wife couldn’t be recast (so she’s dead), and he still has an estranged relationship with his father Zeus.
Hades and Ares team up to imprison Zeus and use his power to awaken Cronos. I honestly don’t remember the point of them doing this, but aiding someone who can destroy the entire world you live in is never a good idea.
Perseus then goes “Whaaaa? I have a son! “, because Sam Worthington isn’t a great actor. Once his village is attacked, and he kills the monster, despite the impossible odds, he embarks on a journey to free his father and save the world, again.
Do you like how the image I chose shows how dated this review is? Damn right you do.
Panem : Fight 74
On March - 26 - 2012
I wrote this review Friday, and am making the decision to leave it from the perspective of someone who had no idea exactly how well The Hunger Games would do this past weekend.
The Hunger Games is going to absolutely kill at the box office this weekend and easily come out of its first two weeks as the biggest film of the year.
If you’re not already familiar with the story, it takes place in a sort of rebuilt post-apocalyptic society where there are a capital and twelve districts. The capital is populated by the rich and privileged while the other twelve districts are mostly at varying levels of poverty, seemingly poorer as the number increases.
In order to keep the people down, post quelled rebellion, the capital instituted The Hunger Games, a yearly event where two 12-18 year olds from each district , a boy and a girl, are chosen to go to the capital and compete in a fight for survival in a large arena where there’s a single victor.

Corre! Corre Lejos de la Casa!
On March - 24 - 2012
Oh, Will Ferrell, you silly man. At one point you had a lot of built up good will. You were in some great movies, specifically Anchorman, and were considered to be very funny. Now, a lot of people just straight up don’t like you. You’ve let them down too many times to be a sure thing. I was not one of those people, however. Casa de mi Padre might just change that.
Ferrell plays Armando, a ranch-hand tending to cattle on his father’s land. His brother Raul (played by Diego Luna) comes back home with a new woman, and a drug war pitting Raul against La Onza(Gael Garcia Bernal) ensues. That synopsis isn’t very in depth, nor does it make too much sense, but that’s the gist of the plot.
From Earth to Barsoom
On March - 14 - 2012
John Carter is already being labeled as a flop. If you make a movie that costs around 300 million dollars to make and in your first weekend you fail to make 50 million domestically(it did much better internationally) people tend to throw those terms around.
John Carter is an adaptation of one of the Edgar Rice Burroughs “Barsoom ” series, “A Princess of Mars”. In it a civil war veteran stumbles upon a mysterious cave and man that has a device that transports him to Mars. There, after being taken hostage by local aliens, he meets a princess that needs him to help save her people and ultimately the planet.
