A Japanese romantic comedy about a boy and his cyborg.  Cute, sweet and highly amusing with a time travel loop/paradox that I think holds up. Not necessary viewing though unless you’re a hardcore fan of Jromcoms. [rating:30]

This South Korean movie would have to be classified as a romantic comedy but only because it can’t really be classified as anything else.  But it’s not about a couple falling in love; it’s about a woman learning to understand a man and have sympathy and affection for him in spite of who he is.  […]

It’s hard to do horror well but making kids the bad guys helps because killer kids are inherently creepy.  And a willingness to follow through with the logical consequences of having a bunch of psycho kids on your hands helps this movie rise to the level of effective and genuinely scary horror.  I’m not easily […]

This low-budget Quebecois effort is about a guy who is visited by his own ghost from the future.  It’s an original idea and genuinely amusing throughout.  I was consistently entertained right up until the point where they have a rape scene played for laughs.  Umm… the fuck?  Not cool dude, not cool.  It took me […]

Apparently the worst movie in the world is Troll 2.  It has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB.  But it’s soooo bad that it has inevitably swung back to awesome and has become a cult classic.  So of course the kid who starred in it decided to make a documentary about it and […]

This Korean film is deliciously gorgeous.  It’s about a group of men who run a cake shop and the eye candy on display is a sight to behold and leaves the mouth watering.  Even someone like me, who isn’t a big fan of rich sweets felt tempted to taste… although I was maybe a bit […]

Meh.  I wasn’t feeling it this year.  You can only catch lightning in a bottle once I suppose. [rating:25]

Whew!  Finally over.  And I am so done.  Those seats in the Hall theatre are  torture!  I really don’t know how I keep doing this each year.  Then again I know some people who go to 30+ movies a year.  One dude goes to every movie possible, as in every movie that doesn’t conflict with another […]

I wasn’t expecting much from this new sci-fi series because it’s on ABC and really, one of the major American broadcast networks?  Bleh.  But I was pleasantly surprised.  All the marketing for this series made it sound like Grey’s Anatomy in space, i.e. a soap opera but I quite liked it.  It’s just my kind […]

Fucking awesome with a side of kick ass. Other sci-fi/action movies are jealous of District 9. There’s plenty I could say but I don’t want to spoil it.  It’s best to go in knowing as little as possible.  Just go see it.  Go see it now.  You’ll be glad you did. [rating:50]
