Nine isn’t the folly I had read about from critics but given I have no emotional investment in either the stage play or its inspiration, 8½, I thought for the most part it was alright even if the musical numbers don’t have the pizzazz compared to Chicago.

I think that if this was my first seeing the film than it would have been an easy five-star review. However, after repeated viewings the flick has somewhat waned on me and I think that there are some problems, mainly the runtime and the slow pacing at points, that needed to be addressed.

Crazy Heart may not live up to my expectations in terms of both the story and Jeff Bridges’ performance but at the same time it’s still a good movie, just one that should have been better. The film is competently directed as Scott Cooper incorporates the beautiful south and southwest landscape.

If you’re a fan of British humor you might enjoy this film, but otherwise I’d say just skip it. It only managed to get a few small chuckles out of me, and a few days later I could barely remember what was going on in the film and who plays who.
The After Dark Horrorfest Vol. 4 is a disappointing bag of tricks. I’ve been faithful to the series since it came out years ago but now I’m starting to wonder if the series is completely over with. Well I know that’s not true due to the insert within the DVD, although I am starting to think the series has jumped the shark.
Dread / The Final / The Graves / Hidden / Kill Theory
Lake Mungo / The Reeds / Zombies of Mass Destruction
The Relic may not be a top notched film but looking at it as a call back to the old days of monster horror flicks, I think it works well enough to be a satisfactory Saturday movie night viewing party. The Blu-ray at least ports over all the features from the DVD version and the 7.1 channel audio is amazing.
Jade may be underrated in its vitriol but by the same token it’s still not a very good movie even with some erotic sex scenes meant to titillate and instead are weird (nothing new from Friedkin) bordering on boring. You add in a plot that isn’t very intriguing and a lead actor who is even less so and you’ve got a movie that deserves to be forgotten.

I can understand how many would dislike and even hate Armageddon because there are plenty of reasons why it should’ve failed, but as someone who doesn’t have too many guilty pleasures, I’ve allowed this to be one of them.
