The Lost Boys Well, regardless of somebody's distaste (hehe) I think it's a fabulous movie. It's nostalgic, that's for sure and the soundtrack is perfect. Keifer Sutherland somehow manages to make a mullet look tough. The Coreys are wonderfully gay looking and in general, super silly. It's hard to believe Corey Haim is dead now...and there are ( Read more... )

Aliens Great action flick and Sigourney Weaver is fantastic as Ripley. There's something about having a child to protect that gives it a lot of extra suspense. It makes me want to see the first one again because it's been such a long time, but yeah. The whole idea behind it is awesome and you gotta love when Ripley finally faces off with the ( Read more... )

Basquiat It's one of those indie flicks from the 90s that just has a cool vibe to it. Not to mention a great cast featuring David Bowie as Andy Warhol (brilliant to say the least), Benecio Del Torro, Willem Defoe, Gary Oldman, Parker Posey (of course) and Christopher Walken. It makes anyone think they can be an artist really. It's interesting to ( Read more... )

Toy Story III Yeah this was pretty tear inducing. It's got a great plot and if you're going to have toys come to life, they've got to be full of personality. Luckily these toys are and I get choked up at the thought of toys that nobody wants anymore. So in this one, Andy's off to college and the toys wind up at a daycare center ruled by an ( Read more... )

All right...here it is. Best movie I've seen in years!

Black Swan Amazing. It's been years since a movie affected me so much and the ending had me shaking and crying, just totally stunned. First of all I love movies about madness and Natalie Portman is brilliant in this. I'm glad it's getting so much recognition - I had no idea she could act ( Read more... )

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Yes this one has to come first, seen at the Ziegfield theater on a nice big screen. It made me glad they're doing it in two parts because they didn't have to cut anything from the book. I wondered how they would get to Bill and Fleur's wedding since they never mentioned their relationship in any of the ( Read more... )

Okay I know I'm totally behind.  What the heck did we even watch in October now that November is almost half over?  Here are the ones that impressed me the most.  Or - at least - the ones that are fresh in my memory.

Near Dark Great little vampire flick. I love the idea of redneck vampires and somehow it works really well. Jenny Wright plays the ( Read more... )

The Killing of Jacob Marr Very cool movie with special effects by the guy who did our special effects. There were a few really good, suspenseful moments and some great creepy shots. It's about a boy who finds a mysterious meteorite and then kills his parents. 25 years later a group of friends rents the old house for some peace and quiet. Instead ( Read more... )

First, this is a movie my Dad did! We were both really impressed with it. For super low budget, it was shot really well - obviously inspired by Tarantino, but all in all totally entertaining

The Korean is a crime drama with gangsters and criminals, a little plot heavy but still really cool. My Dad plays the mob boss Sachton and gets beaten up a ( Read more... )

Before I go into reviews, I have to bring everyone's attention to The Secret of Magic Island. It's a 60 minute movie made in France with Swedish dubbing. So we had no idea what it was about, but - baby animal town! A carnival for ducks! Evil plotting monkey! It's pretty mind blowing.

That being said, onto the movies.
