*Fracture (2007)

September 25, 2007

This is the best movie I’ve seen in a while.  You can’t go wrong with Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling, who I think is a severely underrated actor.  It’s kind of a murder mystery, but you see Hopkin’s character kill his wife in the first 5 mins, so you have to figure out why he [...]

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

I really liked the first two, and this was about the same caliber.  For a good review, check out what my friend Carol had to say about it.

Splinter (2006)

September 24, 2007

BloodRayne II: Deliverance (2007)

September 24, 2007

Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)

September 24, 2007

This is just some B vampire movie.  It has a few big name actors(Lucy Liu, Michael Chiklis) and the opening scene is pretty good, but I can’t say I’d recomend this.  Unless you’re a big vampire movie fan, you should probably pass on this.

Transformers (2007)

September 24, 2007

I had pretty high expectations for this, and was a bit disappointed. I think the studio execs had too much say in it, and they aimed for mass appeal. Some of dialog was pretty lame, but the action sequences were fantastic, which is pretty much what I expected from a Michael Bay [...]
