Rock, The – Quickie Review

rockEasily in my Top 5 action films of all time. This was early in Michael Bay’s career and this is where he peaked. Great action sequences, strong ensemble and actually a very believable villain with fairly realistic motivations. A classic Simpson/Bruckheimer production. I saw this bitch 5 times at the theatre.

“What is wrong with you people?” “It’s just like you said Gills! We’re psychopaths! Somebody better call the school nurse!”

Changeling, The – Quickie Review

changeling-02Near perfect, proudly Canadian, haunted house movie that was partly filmed less than 5 minutes away from the house in which I grew up. The movie is 35 years old and I saw it for the first time less than 10 years ago. It is the last movie to legitimately scare me. There’s a real sense of fear and dread throughout the movie. I haven’t watched it since but I want to so I can see if it has the same affect.

Evolution – Quickie Review

evolutionFrom the director of Ghostbusters comes Alienbusters. Good premise, good director, good cast, wasted opportunity. Decent effects, but the laughs are few and far between.
