Movie Night!!!
So, in my nearly infinite time to myself post operation, I had time to rent a few flicks, some of which I had seen numerous times, and some which I had not seen at all. I thought I'd review a few of them for you.Push - Thumbs Up
This was one of my Most Anticipated Films for a while. I had seen the trailer way back in the summer of '08, and was stoked to catch the film. It took me a while once it was out, but I finally saw it two weekends ago.
The story stands on its own, with great acting from a few key players, the most surprising of which was Dakota Fanning. I used to despise her acting, but after Coraline and Push, I've come to respect her a bit more.
The acutal movie centers around the use of psychic ability. Some of its many uses are very cliche, while others are truly unique and make way for some interesting plot twists and fight scenes.
It's action packed, filled with mystery, and overall a good movie. The only crap factor in this one is the end. Trying to set up a sequel, they left the end wide open with no closure.
I've tried to be a bit vague on this one, because I want you to see it. Definitely rent it some night when you're bored.
Igor - Thumbs Down
Also on my Most Anticipated list, this one failed me horribly. What looked to be a CG version of a Burton-esque style comedy turned out to be a cheap farce.
The storyline centers around an Igor (there are many) who decides to invent something. Well, he creates life, and yada yada... I'm asleep. It sounds good, but I'd suggest it to no one.
The only redeeming quality of this movie comes from... Uh... Nothing. I was really disappointed by this movie, and I want it to show.
That's it for today, I'll hit you up with the latter of the four movies I'm reviewing this time tomorrow.
