AVATAR...3D

Absolutely beautiful visuals and the almost 3 hour sit flew by.

The Crazies (2010)

It's a shame that this movie isn't making much money at the theaters due to the competition lately. It's actually a pretty good movie that I enjoyed. Lots of gore, plenty of "pop out scary scenes", great death scenes, good plot and good acting. I love these type of movies!

8/10

Glad to see you dug this one, Doc.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Well, I went into it knowing that the script kind of removes the magic from the book (and I love the book), so I didn't let that bother me. I just watched it as a movie. So from there, it's a pretty good watch. Special effects are really fun, but so obviously special effects you can never completely sink into it. I really liked the pacing, and I thought they did a great job taking their time with the story...that is until the end. The third act is mostly awful; it's clear the studio couldn't resist an inflated, extraneously action-packed (and cheese-packed) climax and hurried resolution.
That said, I'm still glad I went to see it. Burton's vision is there, mostly, and that was fun to see. Helena Bonham Carter's turn as the Red Queen is pretty wonderful. And there's certainly more to enjoy in Alice in Wonderland than not, I thought, but there are definitely enough problems to also make it frustrating.

And one more complaint, as pissy as it is: they kept calling the creature the Jabberwocky. Jabberwocky is the poem, Jabberwock is the creature. Sure it's a fairly small issue, but it's a detail you'd think a huge multi-million dollar blockbuster would get right.

Cat in the Brain is all good. Kinda messier plotwise than some of his other flicks (which is saying something). Funny how he reused a bunch of footage from his other films too :D

But yeh Doc if you loved it you'll enjoy a lot of his work. I dig most of his shit there's only a few that I found dull... there's a lot I haven't checked out yet.

The Secret in Their Eyes [El Secreto de Sus Ojos] (2009)

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/340...ntheireyes.jpg

Based on the novel by Eduardo Sacheri about a man who wants to solve some loose ends of a murder committed 30 years ago. Newly retired from his career in Argentina's criminal court, Benjamin Esposito begins writing a novel about a case from his past that continues to haunt him.

Won Oscar this year as the Best foreign language film. A sensitive crime drama filled with suspense and beautiful, elegant touch of romance. Brilliant in almost every area. The blending of tragedy, love, violence and humor is nearly flawless. Very compelling performance & great cinematography made it truly Oscar worthy.

Recommended.

Pretty decent low-budget effort, made as a tribute to the Universal horror era of the 1940s.

Recommended to all fans of vintage 40s horror. Definitely hunt this one down. Its a real campy blast.

It is. A real blast to watch, with friends and over a beer-soaked weekend. Definitely tossing this a rec.
