Starship Troopers: Invasion – Review

Starship Troopers: Invasion – Review

It was Paul Verhoeven’s loose adaptation of the classic Robert A. Heinlein novel Starship Troopers that spawned 2 inferior sequels and a more faithful series of CG animated cartoons called The Roughnecks. Starship Troopers Invasion takes elements of both and blends them into an awesome CG film directed by Shinji Aramaki… the same director who

Despicable Me – Review

Caught this at a late night showing a week ago and enjoyed it very much, although I’m not sure if the film was as fun as having the entire theater to ourselves. My buddies were worse than a couple of 5 year olds… in a good way though. There was no one to disturb, so

How To Train Your Dragon – Review

My review = speechless. I completely fell in love with this movie, from beginning to end. The characters, the story, an incredible score by John Powell, Dragons doesn’t disappoint.

9 – Review

I read quite a few reviews of this film, all of which were pretty negative. So I went into it with low expectations. Actually, I loved it! The animation was gorgeous, the characters were simple but interesting, and the story was thought provoking, which is why there were so many negative reviews. I mean c’mon,

A Christmas Carol (2009) – Review

Disney and Robert Zemeckis remaking the Christmas classic A Cristmas Carol in a fully CG animated feature. Jim Carrey lends his voice talents to voice not only Ebenezer Scrooge, but also the three ghosts that visit him. Zemeckis takes some liberties in this retelling, but for the most part, the story stays in tact. The
