I Am Number Four

I wanted to walk out on this film, it's awful. But I stayed, and was rewarded with some bloody awesome action scenes. Pity about the rest of the film. It's genuinely stupid, but enjoyable, sorta. For more on how conflicted I am about this film, read the review here.

127 Hours

For a film about a guy trapped under a rock, it's surprisingly dynamic. Read the review here.

Faster

Don't waste time on the movie, but go listen to the soundtrack, it's great. For a short essay on why this isn't a good film, click here.

Sanctum

The 3D is some of the best I've seen. The diving and caving excellently directed. If only they didn't talk and ruin the whole thing. The writers should be locked in a dark room and forced to listen to the dialogue on repeat for a week... Read the review here.

The Fighter

This could've been a telemovie, or a cheap Rocky knockoff. But with a great cast and an amazing director it becomes something else entirely. Read the review here.

The Green Hornet

The ideas are really smart, the characters cleverly constructed, the action fun and exciting. And yet... Still, it's fun. Read the review here.

Black Swan

Aronofsky finally achieves his dream of replicating the vibe of a Shinya Tsukamoto film... Body horror with ballet. Read the review here.
