If you’re having trouble viewing this post in the third dimension, feel free to adjust your glasses at your convenience.
So, I recently realized that I have a buttload of new releases to catch up on. With the large number of films to comment on, I decided to cram all the ones I’ve yet to make a comment on and shorten each critique into a shot sentence or two per film.
The Book of Eli – Gary Oldman is in this. That alone guarantees a recommendation. Appearances of awesome actors aside, this was a fairly decent and well made post apocalyptic thriller.
Remember Me – …shit.
Robin Hood – Pretty sketchy and far too brooding for its own good, but it has its moments, and there are worse ways to kill 2 ½ hours.
The Karate Kid – A very pleasant surprise. Perhaps it could have been trimmed down a bit, but overall a pretty solid remake.
Toy Story 3 – Needed more boobs.
The Last Airbender – Not bad. Sure it could’ve been better considering the source material, but it moved along at a brisk pace, the action scenes were exciting, and it’s easily Shyamalan’s best looking film yet.
Despicable Me – Reasonably cute and entertaining little animated flick.
Inception – An ambitious, initially absorbing film that quickly mutates from an intriguing, if annoyingly expository talkathon to a bombastic clusterfuck of simplistic and indulgent faux-intellectual head games, briefly punctuated by a few effective thrills.
The Kids Are All Right – A film idea that could have easily sucked if placed in the wrong hands is, with the help of sharp writing and a terrific cast, turned into a bittersweet and heartfelt comedy.
