Movies I've Seen Over The Holidays

Up In The Air

Really funny somewhat romantic comedy minus the typical happy ending that you expect. Danny McBride has a small part, I'll watch anything with that dude in it. Worth a watch for sure.




Drag Me To Hell

So fucking crazy good. It was great to see Sam Raimi back on top of his game doing what he does best. There's a lot of good Evil Dead/Army of Darkness gags & camera work that you'll love if you're a fan.

No cameo by Bruce Campbell as far as I could tell but the famous car gets plenty of screen time. It didn't make up for ruining Spiderman 3, but I definitely feel like a Sam Raimi fan again.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I knew better. I'd read the reviews & I still rented it figuring I'd just watch some eye candy while I was sick over the holidays.

If you dig really bad racial stereotypes or films without a coherent plot, this is the one for you. As far as I can tell the entire film is designed to do two things: provide opportunities for things to blow up and show Megan Fox running from them in slow motion.

I'm sure the special effects are great, but I never got a change to really see them because everything on screen moves at 100 mph and there's an edit every 2 seconds. It never slows down to let you look at things. 100% waste of time and money.
