new for review
2012
sucked. just generic cookie-cutter bullshit plot and characters that you've heard or seen a million times before. fine FX, but obviously more time was spent on effects than writing. unless you feel like watching a forgettable poorly-written movie you won't remember after watching, skip it.
zombieland
fun romp of a zombie film, keeps things comic, and character-based. will definately grow on you as a genre classic after multiple watches. suprise guest cameo that really brings the third act home. a solid zomromcom, this movie is definately not a zom-poseur.
where the wild things are
wonderful wonderful film rendition of the classic children's book. spike jones, as always, a produces quality heart-felt story, effects are natural-feeling, and the movie has rich emotional content. excellent performance by Catherine Keener.
inglurious bastards
you might be underwhelmed on first watch, but give it a few more watches and it begins to feel as classic as the movie so intently insists it is. great movie, ignore the hype.
TETSUO
if you haven't seen tetsuo: the iron man, you need to watch it. black and white grainy japanese film, with a ground-breaking soundtrack. a creepy psychothriller where you are never quite sure if what you are looking at is what is really going on. reminded me of 'Pi'
Uzumaki
a small japanese town is cursed by uzumaki or 'spirals' (in english) according to town legend. strange occurances begin to plague the town, and the inhabitants begin to lose grip on reality. wonderful imagery, creepy vibe throughout- wonder wry humor. a must for fans of asian horror.

Reviews
Horror
Severed
logging. zombies. COMPLETE GARBAGE. doesn't look half bad, but
you'll want to murder the characters yourself. and the writers.
All the boys love mandy lane...
Just watch it.
Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
in a world where Jason vorhees and Michael Meyers are real people,
serial killer in-the-making Leslie hooks up with a film crew to document preparations for his 'Debut'.
The Ruins
Skip it.
Diary of The Dead
yeah it's an official romero flick. def watch this for some new ideas in the genre and for a good zombie romp.
Otis
pretty good, black humor.
Funny Games US
great acting performances from the whole cast, well written- plus wry self-awareness that evokes old woody allen. memorable ideas and movie scenes make this a must-watch for fans of the serial killer genre.
Action
Indiana Jones 4
Worth a watch, with everything you'd expect from an Indy movie. a little campy, but a genuine entry into the series.
superfans may be a little disappointed, but well worth the time to watch. 3/5
Comedy
Drama
Into The Wild
Pretty well done. well acted and written, a modern tale
in the tradition of jack london or jack kerouac.
