Learn to fend for yourself with this review of Alabama Moon
Today’s bonus review has been sitting in my queue for months. I guess it’s time to break it out. I actually had to check to make sure I hadn’t already posted it. As far as I can tell, I haven’t. Plot Everything happened a little too quickly in this movie. The main character got caught [...]
The Hours was named after the thing I’ll never get back after watching it
Plot It’s a bad sign when halfway through a film, I find myself thinking, “What exactly is this about?” It’s even worse when I find myself saying it out loud. It’s even worse still when I find myself saying out loud at the end of the film. Characters This is the first time I’ve seen [...]
A Thousand Words had nothing interesting to say
If you’re wondering why this film is in the 2008 Films category, it’s because that’s when it was filmed. Plot While the idea of Eddie Murphy not being able to talk is wonderful, this movie was flawed from the start. Eddie Murphy easily said hundreds of words between the time he found out about the [...]
The Artist left me speechless
Plot One man’s struggle to find relevance in the world when everything he’s known and loved gets turned on its head by the advancement of technology…I didn’t expect this movie to be so deep. I have to admit that during the dream sequence I thought the film might be taking a Pleasantville turn, but that [...]
This review of 21 Jump Street has me tempted to make a reference to The Cheat
Plot When it wasn’t being vulgar or obnoxious, there were surprisingly quite a few laughs to be had here. I have very little knowledge of the show it is based on shares a name with, but I think a film like this is meant to stand alone, so it doesn’t really matter if it stays [...]
Don’t scream, it’s a Sin City review
Yesterday was crazy, you guys! TIWAM’s 4,000th view overall and 1,500th view for the month both occurred, and the previous record of 123 views in a single day was shattered to pieces with a total of 230! I guess I should point out that this marks TIWAM’s 250th review as well. Since so many things [...]
Today’s forecast: Partly cloudy with a chance of a The Weather Man review
I’ve noticed I’m reviewing a lot of 2005 movies lately. Must have been an interesting year for films. Plot This film was an interesting look at a man trying to fix his messed up life, but I found it to be a bit too vulgar for my tastes. You guys know there’s no accounting for [...]
Brave was almost un-bear-able
Plot The will-o’-the-wisps were just plain lazy storytelling. There was no sense of adventure because they kept popping up and showing the way. As for the rest of the film, it was actually incredibly boring. This is the first time I’ve ever been to the theater and seen other people leave before the closing credits [...]
