Catching up...

Ditching the longer form reviews in favor of multiple short reviews so I can post at least once a week. I will occasionally have non movie related stuff also.

Movies I've recently seen:

Red Cliff(2008) & Red Cliff 2(2009) - Think braveheart in Chinese but with epic LOTR battle scenes. ****

4bia(2008) - Thai ghost stories, really boring. *

Shinjuku Incident(2009) - Jackie Chan only does good movies overseas apparently. ****

House of the Devil (2009) - Classic 80s horror(non-slasher), excellent. *****

Carriers (2009) - Kinda like ZombieLand minus the zombies and laughs, not a bad thing. ***

Penn & Teller get Killed (1989) - umm... ***

Twisted Souls (1986) - Cheezy 80s horror, nothing special. *

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009) - This does for time travel what Shaun of the Dead did for Zombie movies, staring Chris Dowd from The IT crowd. geeky fun.***

Hawk Jones (1986) - Imagine a generic crime movie but all the actors are replaced with elementary school kids. Cute. **

Post-Apocalypse Now!

I promised one of my friends that I would make them a list of cool movies and since I'm reading The Road, I'm listing some of my favorite traditional post apocalyptic movies.
