Hot Tub Time Machine

"I want my 2 dollars!"  (Oh wait!  Wrong movie)

Overall Rating: 2 stars

Take 3 old guys, send them back to the '80s and you've got a movie you watched before...  IN THE '80s!

 5% - Just look how much our lives suck
90% - Standard '80s flick (snow lodge, ski patrol, love interest)
 5% - Look how much better everything is now that we made better choices.

Resident Evil: Afterlife - Or should that be 'Afterthought'

Resident Evil: Afterlife

Year: 2010
Director: Paul W.S. Anderson

Overall Rating: 2.5 stars
Rewatchability: Low

Alice is back!  This time she must battle Agent Smith for control of the Matrix.  Oops, wrong movie.  It's so easy to get confused.

Is this a movie, video game, or just another 3D tech-demo?  I really can't tell for sure, but at least all of the blatant 3D moments are presented in slow motion.  I wouldn't have wanted to miss one.

The Happening - When is Something Going to Happen?

The Happening

the twist is that someone let him make another movie.

Year: 2008
Director: M. Night Shyamalan

Overall Rating: 1.5 stars

Bad writing, bad premise, bad acting, and a pretty crappy ending...  What more could you want from yet another Shyamalan creation?  Apparently the only thing you need to have a film do well is have a name everybody knows.  Even having actors I actually LIKE isn't enough to save this PoS.

Dead Snow - Zombie Nazis!

Dead Snow

The best low budget, classic zombie flick to come out of Norway

Year: 2009
Director: Tommy Wirkola

Overall Rating: 5 stars

What could be better than a classic zombie flick with a modest budget?  Well, apparently the Norwegians know the answer...  Nazi Zombies!!!  You already know the story, and there aren't any real surprises, but does it really matter when it just feels right?
