I don’t even know what to say. And it’s not because I was shocked by the twist ending because I was surprised at how it manifest itself but I was also expecting something. spoiler »As soon as Jasper died I knew it wasn’t real.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1

I am definitely in the minority, and I realize that. Breaking Dawn is on track to make $140M this weekend (proving the power of women at the box office when they’re captivated). Many of them will probably see this two or three times or more, but I didn’t love it.

Immortals

Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Immortals. But I did not like it at all, which is why I haven’t seen it again now that it’s opened.

I’ve heard visually the effects are good (though they’re about the only thing). Since I saw an early cut I’m giving it the benefit . . . → Read More: Immortals

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Johnny Depp is delightful as ever, but this movie really lacks a certain life and vitality that the earlier films had. There was just some spark that was missing and I think it was a lack of tension on several fronts.

First of all, Rob Marshall did not handle the material well. . . . → Read More: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The Invisible

Rating: 2.25 of 5  

For starters, this movie is not what it was marketed as. At all.

Oddly, after the big lie that was the trailer, the movie was more emotional than I expected. Which was almost interesting. Except the directing was fairly clunky and paced badly. I wasn’t fond of many of the performances, but . . . → Read More: The Invisible

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

I think, though still flawed, Eclipse is the best of the Twilight films thus far.

Before I even begin I should say that it’s my favorite book. I like how romantic it is and I like Jacob and Edward talking in the tent and the whole little kerfuffle about gifts.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Rating: 3 of 5  

Prince of Persia is a nice way to start the big, loud, hot summer movie season. It’s a fun movie, light on substance but full of cool parkour action, big special effects a few laughs and a hot guy. Anyone expecting anything else doesn’t realize they’re going to see a Jerry Bruckheimer . . . → Read More: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I loved greek mythology in jr. high. So, in some ways it was fun to revisit that through this movie. I was surprised at how much mythology they incorporated and much of it they got right.

Let’s begin with the ridiculously long title. It was bad enough when it was just . . . → Read More: Percy Jackson & Olympians and Lightning Thief

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Rating: 2.5 of 5  

It’s amazing what a good director can do.

When I saw New Moon, I have to admit I was afraid to get my hopes up. Twilight was just so poorly done and the books are so badly written, but the characters are incredibly engaging and the trailers look fun and exciting. . . . → Read More: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

17 Again

Rating: 3.5 of 5  

In some ways, Zach Efron completely makes this movie. And not just because he’s a lot more interesting to watch than Matthew Perry.

The premise is something we’ve seen plenty of before but it manages to be fresh and enjoyable in this incarnation. Partly because it’s well written. Partly because the secondary . . . → Read More: 17 Again
