Yeah, I See Alot of Movies.

Humboldt County - SXSW Premiere

Wed Mar 12, 2008 1:49 AM EDT

To be honest, up until an hour before I saw this movie, I had assumed we were going to see a documentary about pot growers - and was not looking forward to it.

Then She Found Me - SXSW Premiere

Sun Mar 9, 2008 6:35 PM EDT

It is funny, that you can have a movie with an Oscar winner and so many well known actors and come out thinking that you just watched such a small movie.

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - World Premiere

Sun Mar 9, 2008 1:45 AM EST

Obviously, based on the line spilling around the block and the number of seats being held in reserve this movie is popular here at SXSW. The stars of the movie are here and the crowd is bustling with excitment.

Movie Review: In the Land of Women

Thu May 24, 2007 4:55 PM EDT

This movie, now probably long gone from the theaters and the Top 20, was not bad. Not at all. But don't look at the poster or any promotional material for this movie and expect to find a young love story. Because you won't rally find that here.

Movie Review: The Ex

Thu May 24, 2007 4:32 PM EDT

Hmmmm, not quite sure what they were going for in this movie, but where ever it was, they didn't get there. I'm going to guess that a lot of people had a bunch of free time on there hands and decided to spend a weekend making a movie.

Motion Defined: Spider-Man 3

Tue May 8, 2007 6:34 PM EDT

This is a hard review to write, because I'm not really sure how much I enjoyed the film. Especially after Spider-Man 2, which for me, is arguably the best comic book movie ever. But they did so many things wrong in this movie.

Motion Defined: The Condemned

Tue May 8, 2007 5:53 PM EDT

Look, I can't in good conscience sit here and tell you the 'The Condemned' is any sort of quality cinema. And looking at the box office numbers, the rest of the country seems to feel the same way.

Motion Defined: Vacancy

Tue May 8, 2007 5:30 PM EDT

It seems to me that the producers of this movie got together and said, "OK, we have enough money to make a 2 hour horror movie here, or we can get a couple of 'name' actors and drop it to 1:25. Thoughts?"

Motion Defined: Disturbia

Tue May 8, 2007 5:09 PM EDT

So this is 'Rear Window' for a new generation I guess. Well, no I won't demean it by comparing it to Hitchcock's classic, there's no way it could stand up to that and to try and compare it would make it look worse than it is.

Motion Defined: Shooter

Tue May 8, 2007 4:36 PM EDT

Mark Wahlberg can put out an entertaining movie from time to time and this one is no exception. Bonus points for being partially set in my hometown of Philly.

Grindhouse

Tue May 8, 2007 4:27 PM EDT

You know, news reports would have you believe that this movie was a failure and did not live up to the studios expectations. While it may not have, they needed to take a closer look at what they were offering up here and realize that they landed pretty much where they deserved.

Pathfinder

Wed May 2, 2007 2:09 PM EDT

How long was this movie sitting on the shelf before they decided to release it. I started seeing previews for this film in the Spring of 2006 for a Summer release and now they finally release it months, almost a year, later.

300

Wed May 2, 2007 2:08 PM EDT

Is it May already? 300 is a movie that in any year could be a summer staple film, being used as a launching point for the summer movie season.

Motion Defined: The Hills Have Eyes 2

Just saw this film last night and I'll try and review the contents of the movie without regard for the three bastards sitting in the back row chatting the entire time.

Motion Defined: Suffering Man's Charity - Premiere

Mon Mar 26, 2007 6:14 PM EDT

This was an… extreme film to say the least. Graphic in its use of language and violence and extreme in its performances, this film was quite an experience.

Mon Mar 26, 2007 6:12 PM EDT

This is an enjoyable film. Lean, tight, not a lot of fluff. It has a direction and stays with it till the end.

Mon Mar 12, 2007 11:13 PM EDT

This will probably go down as the best movie appearing at SXSW this year, and the most popular.

Motion Defined (The Return): Apocalypto

Wed Dec 13, 2006 6:52 PM EST

If you are trying to do something different as a director, I can definitely get behind that. If you feel that what you need to do in your film requires you to use a language that 99.9% of the world has never been exposed to, then more power to you.

Motion Defined: You, Me and Dupree

Thu Aug 17, 2006 5:24 PM EDT

Now that it is alleged that Owen Wilson has broken up Kate Hudson's marriage, I guess it's time to actually post a review for this movie. It's not bad, and actually better than I thought, but not great.

Is This the 'News' that Newsvine Wanted

Thu Aug 17, 2006 1:22 PM EDT

Now I could be completely wrong here, and I realize that Newsvine is a 'News' site, but I'm surprised at the lack of user generated content on the site.
