Paul


The references to science fiction flicks come at the viewer fast & furious-- and I'm sure I missed half of them.

It's a fanboy comedy, to be certain, but I wouldn't consider it just for the fanboys.

Cedar Rapids


I love how a raunchy comedy, if produced as an independent & playing at small art house-type venues, can attract the loving attention of blue hairs.

The cinematography here may or may not be spectacular, but no one would ever know; the quality of the nudity offered is such that everyone was suddenly very interested in the emergency exit signs.

Rango


Definitely not for kids, though of course people will be toting their babies in regardless.

Funny bits, and amazing textures--ILM seems more than capable of giving Pixar a run for its money at some point.

The Oscar Nominated Short Films 2011: Live Action


A collection of all five Academy-Award nominated short films, each one pretty interesting & fun to watch.

I wonder if the Academy members actually watch all of these things they're voting on (I actually don't wonder, I highly doubt it).

I Am Number Four


Takes place at a high school full of weird white kids, and the baddies die in a poof of ash when they are staked.

I guess there's no need now to make that new "Buffy" film they've been talking about.
