Megamind
Megamind I wasn’t expecting to like this movie as much as I did. Pogle and I have already watched it two times, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we watch it again soon. While I wasn’t terribly impressed with the supporting characters, Megamind himself is just awesome. Highly recommended (and highly quotable).

Star Trek
Star Trek I put off watching the newest reboot because I was afraid it couldn’t live up to its namesakes. I was wrong, and should have watched this film a year ago. I found some parts very distressful, but pogle talked me into giving it a chance. It was very strange for me to find…

Slammin’ Salmon & Back to the Future III
Slammin’ Salmon Zongo is here! Broken Lizard continues to amaze us with their character acting. I didn’t care that much for the plot, but I always enjoy seeing BL own their characters unabashedly. Back to the Future III Great Scott! It was ok. I adored the steampunk train at the end, and now I can…

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Watching Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory today (apparently pogle has several of the songs stuck in his head today). Even better than I remember. I probably haven’t seen the film for a decade or so. I love that science teacher! Class dismissed! Veruca Salt is hilarious. A demon child to haunt the dreams of…

Back to the Future I & II
I had not seen the Back to the future movies since I was a young child, so except for a few scenes (lightning and the DeLorean, Biff marrying Marty’s mom) I really didn’t remember much. I was pleasantly surprised when, while watching Back to the Future, I could not stop laughing. Being older now, I…

Toy Story 3
Once again, Pixar has managed to amaze me (and make me cry). Somehow they have made each Toy Story be as good as, and in this case better than, the last. An enjoyable film geared more towards an adult audience simply because children, while they’ll enjoy the action, will not have yet experienced the bittersweetness…

How to Train Your Dragon & 9
How to Train Your Dragon Excellent movie. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the original books, but from what I remember the movie definitely followed at least the spirit of the books. I love how natural Toothless appears: you can definitely tell that they studied animals to get his movements down (he reminded…

Red: Werewolf Hunter
Not really a review, more a collection of thoughts of the film. Hobo werewolf evangelist Go Jake! Glittery hand of doom! SyFy does to SF films what Hallmark does to Drama films Someone please send out a Jurisfiction agent to fix all of the plot holes. Conclusion: Not bad for SyFy. The plot was too…

Mini-Movie Review: 30 Days of Night
Haven’t done a movie review for awhile, so what the heck, have at ye. 30 Days of Night Overall I rather enjoyed this film, although I was so wound up from all the slaughtering that I trembled through most of the movie. In case you didn’t get the hint, there’s a lot of blood. Pretty…

Movie Backlog: 12/30/2007
I’ve been slacking off on posting what few movies I’ve actually watched in the past couple of months. Let’s see if I can remember them all. Far too lazy to include links at this time, however. Give me a break, I’ve been up since 4 AM. :p Monster House: The CGI feels a bit primitive,…
