Will Smith starring as the sole survivor in NYC after a virus turns most of humanity into monsters that can only stay alive in darkness. Some good ideas in there but comes w/ a really weak ending.

Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)

A Jim Carrey movie with beautiful cinematography and a story that makes little sense even for a fantasy.

The Deal (2008)

Posted in comedy with tags , , on 15 June, 2009 by Z!

Another wasted effort from Hollywood to make a comedy that is actually funny and entertaining. The only really funny moment was William H. Macy saying “Wonderful country, as long as you’re a mushroom” upon arriving in rainy London.

Parasomnia (2008)

Posted in horror with tags , , , , on 13 June, 2009 by Z!

A horror movie centered around a woman who is suffering from a disease that makes her sleep 95% of her life. The other characters are a serial killer and a young guy that falls in love with the sleeping girl. I guess enough said. I quit watching after 60 minutes…

Rating: -/10

The Caller (2008)

Posted in drama with tags , , , on 13 June, 2009 by Z!

This drama is only interesting until you get the idea for the plot… but once you get it you realize that it makes very little sense so no matter how emotional it gets at times this movie is quite a disappointment.

Rating: 5/10
