The Last Airbender

This has already been out for a week and the reviews have been horrible, so you don’t really need to hear from me. But, in case you’re curious, here’s a reason why…

Fundamentally, I think the biggest flaw in this film is that M. Night Shyamalan stayed too

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

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

When I first heard they were remaking the Karate Kid, I scoffed. I didn’t love the movies as a kid. I knew they were iconic and classic and still they weren’t my favorite.

damn that was cool! I admit I went in with low expectations. Comic book movie, probably some graphic violence, very little story and hollow characters, right?! But The Losers is smart and

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.

The first thing I have to say about The Book of Eli is that it’s very stylishly directed. The landscape isn’t just desolate, it’s white hot from being burned by the sun. There is a epic feel

I laughed out loud. a couple of times. You’d be surprised how much impact that has on a movie’s score.

Other than that, When in Rome is an interesting premise that is not well executed.
