Daybreakers (2010)

There is only one major problem that I can see in Daybreakers, and thankfully, it only arises a couple of times throughout the film. Some of the special effects are really poorly done; the only way I can realistically describe the CGI when a vampi...

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009)

When a film is titled “Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus“, one would expect to see two large creatures of the sea fighting one another for a good portion of the film. In this case, you can be forgiven for expecting that, because the end res...

Tron Legacy (2010)

"Tron: Legacy’ is not a perfect film, and nobody will feel otherwise. Some elements of the story are cloudy. The lead actor is a bit wooden. CGI young-Jeff Bridges is a bit hit-and-miss. The famous Light Cycles are underused. The 3D was total...

Cop Out (2010)

About an hour into Frozen, the film lost me. It only lost me for about 15 minutes, but it was enough to make me question why I was still watching it. For a horror/thriller film, this is almost unacceptable. What happens in this part is very simple...

Salt (2010)

"Who is Salt?” ask the posters. “You think everyone’s who they say they are?” ask the trailers. The point being that this is a character of ambiguity. But at one point, even the filmmakers themselves didn’t know. The...

She`s Out of My League (2010)

Let’s be honest, how often are standard-order romantic comedies anything but appalling? A useful method for evaluating the effectiveness of rom-coms is to ask yourself a few questions: are the protagonists likeable, does the central coupling...
