Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: at worlds end

Sack Sparrow, and all those other no-names characters that you won't remember battle from one special affect to another. Disney's racist stereotyping strips away the fun of staring at CG affects. Will entertain the masses; but other then that, a waste of Johnny Depp's time. But its always nice to see that Movies with enough substance, well in this case fluff, can last more then the formulaic 1:30min. I give this movie a No-Brainer.

This weeks to rent: Michael Moore Hates America

In honor of his upcoming film, Sicko, its only just that you rent this small documentary about a Man who is much like mike. His saga to get a 40min interview with the infamous Moore takes him across the nation. With a few celeb appearances, some excellent insight into the Moorist ideology and perhaps the most ironic reversal, this film is certainly an important view into what America thinks of Moore. I give this film a Skull!

Review: Hot Fuzz







From the dults that made Shawn of the dead, comes 'Hot Fuzz'. Semi-funny satire of the Action movie genera; Detective Nicolas Angel is good at his job; to good. So his Co. as sent him to small English town. Now, Angel must get used to the fact that there are no murders in this quint little village... or are there?

Cheesy but fun, much like Shawn of the dead, its biggest and only problem is also what makes it so memorable; that this movie is not so much a satire then its own creation. Worth the price of admission. I give this movie Half-a-brain.

This Week's To Rent: Rashomon





A murder as occurred, but each witness tells a deferent tale. The Bandit, the wife, the victim's ghost, and the man hiding out of site all say contradicting stories and with no clear answer. I give this movie a Skull.
