Tekken: Blood Vengeance

Tekken: Blood Vengeance

The sad thing about Tekken: Blood Vengeance is that when things get a bit too “Tekken” the whole story of friendship and trust that was built up until that point kind of gets lost in the fray. The Mishima family has always been the downside to the Tekken story arc for me, so color me biased with my take on this. Here you have this beautiful, complex palette...

The Smurfs (2011)

The Smurfs (2011)

Anyone that knows the source material will without a doubt hate this movie. Unfortunately for me I am one of these people and with the exception of Gargamel (Hank Azaria) and his awfully CGI cat Azrael, this is a stinker. The Smurfs may work for your 5 yr old child if you can rely on them to not repeat the substitute curses that are in every scene “what the...

How To Train Your Dragon

How To Train Your Dragon

First off let me send a big F you out to AMC and every other opportunistic price gouging movie theater that charge $15+ just because a movie has the symbol “3D” on the end of its title. Don’t you jackasses get enough money from pimping your stale popcorn and dusty pretzels off to teenagers anyway? Why do you have to come mafia me out of my money for...

The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and The Frog is a beautifully drawn, well animated slice of the standard Disney pie with a Louisiana spin. Although I found all of the characters to be very loveable, I thought that Disney’s “playing it safe” (you know exactly what I mean) due to a bunch of jackasses who blindly let a trailer mislead them, ultimately hurt the movie...

Astro Boy (2009)

Astro Boy (2009)

I’m probably in the minority of reviewers who watched and loved the original black and white cartoon Astro Boy yet found this CGI movie to be quite good. David Bowers, the Director of Flushed Away brings us an adaptation of the original Manga Tetsuwan Atomu (The Mighty Atom), later transferred to the American screen under the name Astro Boy. For lovers of...

9

A dark but beautiful offering of CGI about a post-apocalyptic world and 9 humanoid robots with a mysterious mission to carry out. Shane Acker directs this movie although the trailers and signs all point to the more popular Tim Burton. To top off this confusion (Burton produced it) we are shown creatures that play more than a little homage to A Nightmare Before...
