Movie Review – The Boxtrolls

This weekend The Boxtrolls was released in theaters and I made sure to grab a ticket for the first showing at my favorite theater. The story is cute, has some funny and obvious puns, and yet has some intelligent humor as well. I didn’t watch much of the trailers because I did want to see the movie without knowing all the best parts.

The claymation is really why I wanted to see this movie though. To my surprise, it was actually a bit of a mixed media piece and it was done surprisingly well. I spent the extra couple dollars to see it in 3D, but I’m not sure it was really needed. [More]

Movie Review – Tusk

So you may not have heard that this week Kevin Smith’s latest movie was released. That’s right, Tusk released in over 600 theaters and even that may be too many by some people’s standards. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every moment of this movie. If you’re in the mood for a bad horror movie this is just what you need.

A total of about 10 people were in the theater, 3 of which came with me. Keep in mind, this was the only theater showing the movie within an hour drive. At one point, one of the teens sitting behind me said to his buddy, “what the hell are we watching?” [More]

Maleficent Review

I don’t want to be overly harsh here, because the movie was good. It did exactly what I would have wanted it to, it entertained me!

That being said, the visuals for this movie were great, acting was good except for child actors/actresses, but it lacked an original music score and unique directing. Other than that, Maleficent was a great movie with an interesting story that’s fun for anyone to watch. [More]
