MOVIE REVIEWS!

UNDER REVIEW

Sucker Punch - Wow! Amazing! Awesome! Those were the only words I could muster after the IMAX Zack Attack was over.

Clash of the Titans - Much has been made about the fact “Clash of the Titans” was shot in 2D and then converted to 3D. I’m not really sure why people have made a fuss. Yes, Warner Brothers wants to make as much money as they can and that is why they converted it. It’s the same reason the film is PG-13 as opposed to being rated R. Regardless, this is a great film no matter how it is projected.

The Awakening - Mike Conway shot The Awakeningon a budget of $5,900. That’s $1,325 less than Robert Rodriguez used to make El Mariachi. And this isn’t a two people sitting in a room talking, Richard Linklater kind of film. This is a science fiction action picture with a cast of 40 and a super hero-like female character straight out of a comic book.

Amusement - No one likes to be seen as a joke. Even clowns, jesters, comedians and Joe Pesci’s character Tommy DeVito in “Goodfellas” want people laughing with them - not at them. “Amusement” is the story of a demented kid with an ugly sense of humor that got laughed at and not with. The kid, never referred to by name and dubbed “The Laugh” on IMDb.com, is sent away to a mental institution and forgotten about by his peers. He grows up to be a sadistic killer. Now an adult, he looks to cause harm to three girls – Tabitha, Shelby and Lisa - that didn’t get him as a child.
