2009 Movie Review

‘Pandorum’ is a creepy and disturbing sci-fi thriller — movie review

Who’s in it?: Dennis Quaid (Dreamscape, InnerSpace), Ben Foster (30 Days of Night, 3:10 to Yuma)

Whoa.  Ben Foster.  You are a freak.  Seriously man, you scare the hell out of me, which is not an easy task.  I’m not sure that applies to this movie because you are for once, the most normal mother dude in this tripped out freak show of a movie but normally, your presence is enough to make me question everything else that’s going on.

2009 Movie Review

‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’ is pretty standard family fun — movie review

Who’s in it?: Bill Hader, Andy Samberg and Will Forte (all from SNL), Anna Ferris (Scary Movie) and Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, M.D.) and Mr. T (enough said)

Based on the children’s book by Ron and Judi Barrett

The following blog has been rated G because after all, it is a kids movie we are talking about here…

I really don’t know what to say about this one.  I mean it’s friggin’ Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  The truth is, after some of the crap I’ve seen at this point, a children’s flick was in order- and this one pays off.  but like I said, it is what it is.  An animated kids movie based on a book about food that magically falls from the sky.
