Interesting so far

(Review of: Sleepy Hollow)

I was looking forward to this for a few months now. The story starts with a scene during the revolutionary war where Ichabod Crane is seen shooting and then beheading a man. Then we cut to modern day American in a town called Sleepy Hollow where there have been a rash of unsolved murders over the last two hundred years. Ichabod helps Lieutenant Abby Mills with stopping the Horseman from bringing his supernatural army from the dead. I thought this show was going to revolve around strictly the headless horseman, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there's a lot more involved.

Fun movie

(Review of: The Island)

I personally love dystopian stories so this was a fun movie for me. I found this to be an entertaining action/sci-fi, but one that I wish had more depth to the story and characters. If it would've kept the action but had a much more involving story then it would've been much better. Still, it's one of the better Michael Bay films.

Was expecting more

(Review of: Avatar)

I was impressed with the visuals. It was a really beautiful film to look at. But at the time I just thought the story was average. For a film that got great reviews and had the biggest budget and biggest box office take ever I was expecting much more. Cameron seems preoccupied with his toys and everything here is too much, too showy, and too long.

Have to watch it again

(Review of: Cloud Atlas)

Most ambitious and at the same time most down to earth movie of the last decade, a complete cinematic achievement to be analyzed and dissected multiple times - or simply enjoyed as a good storytelling, film works both ways and that's what makes it so great.

Just incredible

(Review of: Super 8)

The natural, funny dialogue between the kids really reminded me E.T, The Goonies, proper adventure films. It's so nice to watch a film that doesn't pander to a specific audience, not too safe for kids and no wink wink adult jokes for the adults watching.

Interesting

(Review of: Looper)

A smart, entertaining thriller that is probably best to watch without knowing anything about it. It's a sci-fi story set slightly in the future, but I appreciate that it doesn't get into sci-fi technobabble, but instead just tells an interesting story with an extremely satisfying ending. It's been awhile since I've seen a movie in this genre that I liked as much as this one.

Wasn't bad

(Review of: The Hunger Games)

I read the book and heard that the movie was not as good so I prepared myself for disappointment. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. They didn't change a lot or leave out a ton. I just really felt like it didn't do the book justice. If I would have seen the movie before reading the book I probably wouldn't have read it.
