My review of Iron Man 2 (No Spoilers)

Posted on Saturday, May 8, 2010 by Avitable

Iron Man 2, quite obviously the sequel to Sherlock Holmes, is fun, smart, and fast paced. Robert Downey, Jr., plays the titular character and his alter-ego, Tony Stark, with the same aplomb and swagger, tinged with a bit of newly … Continue reading →

My review of Alice in Wonderland (Spoiler Free)

Posted on Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Avitable

I’m not sure what to say about this movie. I’ll start with the visuals. It was beautiful. A perfect Tim Burton world, realized down to every little detail. I could watch full scenes without paying attention to the dialogue and … Continue reading →

My review of The Time Traveler’s Wife (Spoiler Free)

Posted on Saturday, August 15, 2009 by Avitable

Make no mistake about this film. It is a chick flick. It’s a love story with science fiction elements. It’s like if you took Steel Magnolias and made Julia Roberts’s character a cyborg with laser beam eyes. Yeah, it’s fucking … Continue reading →
