Let Me In (2010)

Let Me In (2010)

“I need blood… to live…” With the explosion of Vampire lore unto the big screen in more than one adaptation of books, former movies and unique twists, it is a pleasure to see a fresh take on the blood lust. Let Me In as you may or may not know is a remake of Tomas Alfredson’s Let The Right One In, a Swedish movie that I had the pleasure of...

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

What do you get when you take an underground comic book, slap some videogame coolness on it, and then follow it up with a soundtrack written by Beck? Scott Pilgrim vs. The World that’s what!

The Last Airbender

The Last Airbender

Clash of The Titans (2010)

Actually I know exactly what it is, it’s the absolute waste of Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, whose talents and characters was the only shining light in a dark movie of shallow...

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Of all the positives that Alice yielded, the pacing was tops as it started, spanned and ended in very good time. My viewing was done in IMAX 3D but it only reinforced how well Avatar was done to take advantage of the technology. Alice does not need 3D to work, being a colorful, bright and beautiful movie that incorporated a lot of contrastingly dark landscapes...
