( Movie Review )

I know The Eye has been in retail release for some time now, but since it was one of those missed movies I decided to rent via Amazon Unbox, I finally had a look at it ( Read more... )

Hellboy: The Golden Army has got to be the best movie of the year for me. I can't imagine anything else coming along that will thrill, amuse, amaze, impress and most importantly, entertain me as well. If you liked the weird creatures and macabre imagination put forth in Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, this film is a fairy-tale-come-true in the same ( Read more... )

I was going to say "Well done," but that's not my opinion.

I'll save the movie I previewed for behind a cut later ( Read more... )

Basically: Enjoyable. Saphera (the dragon) is CUUUTE as a baby and very nicely done as an adult. Low cheese content, can get into it as easily as Dragonheart.

Eragon is quite a bit like Star Wars, isn't it?
- The main character is a farmboy who doesn't live with his parents, and his foster parents are murdered.
- Eragon meets a learned mentor who also ( Read more... )
