Mini Movie Review - Buried - Watch a Guy Named Paul Try to Escape from a Box

How does this sound for a movie? A guy named Paul, working as a contractor in Iraq, is kidnapped by a bunch of terrorists and is buried alive. The entire, and I mean entire movie, is about this guy named Paul trying to escape from a box buried underground. When I first read about this movie, I assumed that the majority of the movie would focus on the box, with flashbacks and other scenes. Man was I wrong, the entire movie just has one scene and one actor. Join me for this mini review on Buried starring Ryan Reynolds, and see why this movie may or may not be worth your time.

Movie Review: Black Swan - More like Black Swan dive off a cliff and down a flight of stairs

Talk about an overrated movie.  I watched this movie because I've been hearing good things about it online, and from friends.  My cousin Joe, went out of his way to tell me that it is a must see movie.  Directed by Darren Aronofsky, known for directing the films The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream.  I loved The Wrestler, but this movie just didn't do it for me.  Aronofsky is known for dark and gritty film-making.  I had issues going into the movie knowing it is a dark psychological thriller about a ballet.  But hey, we live in modern times, and people like this contemporary bullshit.  For those of you out there who want to see it just for the lesbian sex scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, yes you know who you are, don't waste your time or money.  Besides neither of them are hot anyway.  While the film might have some highlights, it does not live up to all the hype.  Hit the jump to hear more.

Movie Review: True Grit - Grits aren't for Everyone

So me and the fellers took a trip last night to go see True Grit.  It was a tough call because we were also thinking about seeing The Fighter or Tron.  Needless to say, I do not regret our decision, and we will probably see the other films soon anyway.  The put it simply, True Grit is a great film.  I will admit it wasn't what I expected when I walked into the theater.  But this remake of the old John Wayne classic was able to hold its own in 2011.  See why I give this movie two grits up, after the jump.
