Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

A re-imagination of the world’s most popular detective, Sherlock Holmes follows the story of Holmes (Downey, Jr.), his loyal friend Dr. John Watson (Law), and Holmes’ rival/master thief Irene Adler (McAdams) in a mystery involving the powerful Lord Blackwood (Strong), who seems to have risen up from the dead to cast an aura of terror over London. Director Guy Ritchie teams up with a solid cast of stars to bring the classic characters to life for a new audience.

Now Showing: RDJ’s Sherlock Holmes, Zombieland

2010 is undoubtedly gonna be a great year for movie fans! Aside from the anticipated blockbusters: Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (March 2010), Iron Man 2 (May 2010), and the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (November 2010) - and fine, the next Twilight sequel, Eclipse (June 2010) - there are a couple of interesting releases that can tide moviegoers over till those big ones come out.

Review: New Moon (2009)

The first film in the series was so bad it was good. I admit it, I was entertained. New Moon isn’t as bad, but while entertaining enough, isn’t particularly good either.

Review: 2012 (2009)

“It’s a disaster!”

Those were the first thoughts that crossed my mind when I first saw the trailer and the premise of Roland Emmerich’s 2012.

And the latest disaster film from Roland Emmerich (the destroyer of worlds director of such films as Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow) certainly delivers a ton of disaster. More so than you may be accustomed to, and probably more than enough for, I don’t know, 10 disaster movies?

Review: (500) Days of Summer (2009)

“This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story.”

Thus begins (500) Days of Summer, definitely one of my favorite films of this year, and possibly ranking among the best up there with my favorite romantic films.

(500) Days of Summer: Showing October 21

It’s actually showing here! I am so excited! October 21!

Review: District 9 (2009)

Producer Peter Jackson (director of the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy) may be the only immediately recognizable name in the film credits, but District 9 overcomes its low budget and lack of known stars (made for approx. $30 million in an age where summer blockbusters sport $150 million budgets) to become what can, in my opinion, only be called a science fiction epic.

Review: Up (2009)

Pixar’s tenth feature film shows that the company haven’t lost their winning touch. I admittedly had lower expectations for the film, because while watching the trailers, all I was thinking was that “this’ll be cute,” but nothing much more. I didn’t think that it would have a great story to build around; well, after watching the film, all I can say is that you shouldn’t bet against Pixar so easily.
