2 Mar 2009The worst thing that a comedy could do is to make you bored, and Role Models certainly succeeded in boring me until the very end which was a recreated medieval pretend battle between warring “nations”. Of course, citing that as my highlight can tell you already how boring the rest of the movie was. The [...]

18 Feb 2009The best way to describe Quarantine is by the movies it was inspired of. Think of this movie as I am Legend meet Cloverfield meet Blair Witch Project. The movie follows a TV reporter named Angela Vidal as the camera crew tags along a fire crew as they are called into action. They get to [...]

These actors’ antics force the director to opt for a more guerilla approach [...]

24 Nov 2008If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last few decades, you will recognize the music in this movie pretty well. Mamma Mia is the big screen version of the stage production of the same name, that took popular Abba songs and created a coherent story around it. If you’re a fan of [...]

10 Nov 2008For some obscure reason, X-Files is back in our lives after the series ended in 2002. The new movie, I Want to Believe, is not a continuation of the series’ main mystery, and not even a direct sequel to the cinematic release in 1998. Instead, we have a pretty competent thriller/suspense featuring agents Mulder and [...]
