Jack Reacher (2012)

By Jed | Published: May 1, 2013

Being a Tom Cruise movie, it has him acting just as he always does — an ever smart, know-it-all guy who knows everything about the crime even before the movie reaches halfway. Plus, he knows martial arts too and apparently he’s quite good at it. Rosamund Pike is pretty acting as some lawyer. It’s nice [...]

I’ll drink vodka to this movie. Nice Cronenberg/Viggo combination.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

By Jed | Published: October 24, 2012

Normal movie categorization will classify this as action/horror (or even bio-pic if you consider Abe Lincoln’s fictional storyline). I classify this as “Hollywood CG Crap Action Flick”. It’s a combination of unreal-close-timing-plots, kungfu-cable-assisted stunts, and heavy use of CG with unbelievable storyline. I fast forwarded most of the movie to get to the action sequences [...]

Carriers (2009)

By Jed | Published: May 11, 2011

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0806203/ Loved the subdued acting of Frank the dad (Christoper Meloni). Post-apocalyptic sans the zombie hordes. Focuses on the loss of humanity vs. survival rather than the violence. A plus for this kind of movie. The ending is not cliche like most of the stuff on screen. Like something pops up at the end so [...]

Hereafter (2010)

By Jed | Published: May 11, 2011

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1212419/ Sad but uplifting. Touching children-mother relationship. My heart goes out to the twins. Good acting. Loved the interior architecture of France and Switzerland. White and black. Mildly surprised at the end that Clint Eastwood produced and directed it. Though the movie did had a lot of sad elements in it that most of his [...]

Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)

By Jed | Published: April 26, 2011

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587707/ This is a story about obsession. Watch it if you like art not for its value but because you know the feeling of being obsessed with something and you do it because you just have to do it. That statement applies to Banksy and all the other street artists featured in this film. Mr. [...]
