Plagued by bad acting and a camp Crowley, this documentary adds nothing to the tale of the ‘wickedest man in the world’.  Summon forth my opinions here.

An entirely unremarkable haunting tale.  A couple of good performances, and some nice atmosphere, but it quickly runs out of steam.  Things go bump in the night here.

Just a cabbage-launcher away from being a complete rip-off of the A-Team, but with a strangely dark element.  Also features some of the worst CGI I’ve ever seen.  The plan completely fails to come together here.

Six episodes culled from a reality TV show about a woman trying to drop her weight from nearly 500lbs before it kills her.  She is charming but, unless you are looking for inspiration to lose weight yourself, I don’t see the appeal in putting someone else’s suffering under the microscope.  I guarantee a zero-calorie review here.

An art-house sensibility with Dick Cheney’s politics.  This film chickens out from raising questions and ends up making a strong case for torture.  Good acting though…  I may never play piano again if anyone involved reads this.

A fun look at the nightmare of getting your two-year-old into the ‘right’ pre-school in New York City.  It’s not just playing in the sand-box anymore!  I break out my finger-paints here.

A facinating documentary detailing the machines that took men to the moon, and the people who were responsible for their design and construction.  See how this DVD reaches for the stars here.

A thriller which lacks thrills doesn’t have a lot going for it!  With more plot holes than you can shake a stick at, and characters we don’t know well enough to care about, this one really isn’t going anywhere.  If you care enough to find out why I don’t, click here.

Starting today I’ll be attending the Los Angeles Film Festival.  Over the next 10 or so days I’ll be posting reviews on the best, and worst, that I discover.  Wish me luck!

Thanks to SBCC Film Reviews for securing my press pass for the event.

A sequel with no connection to the original.  Poor acting, worse effects and the dullest car ‘chase’ I can remember.  I wonder what was going on in the minds of all involved here.
