My Movie Reviews

• Righteous Kill (2008) 5/10

  2008-10-24 15:24

  

  With DeNiro and Pacino I expected much better. But it was dry and predictable the whole way through. Better than 88 minutes, but not by a lot.

• The Strangers (2008) 6/10

  2008-10-24 14:09

  

  I hate horror movies, but this one surprised all of the critics and did great at the box office, so I had to see it. And despite the lame acting and predictable plot, it was creepy! I had to watch another movie after it to get to bed.

• The Dark Knight (2008) 10/10

  Acting was superb. Expect posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger. Great action and twists. Can't wait for Christopher Nolan's next.

• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of... 5/10

  2008-10-20 20:00

  

  The movie was okay. But Indiana Jones and aliens (sorry, interdimensional beings) just don't mix. They should have left well enough alone. Most of the movie was goofy and campy, especially the monkeys and groundhogs.

• City of Ember (2008) 9/10

  2008-10-20 12:00

  

  I had high expectations of this move going in, and it lived up to them. The acting was fabulous, especially by the supporting roles, Martin Landau, Tim Robbins, and Bill Murray. Read my full review here.
