Towelhead, Wanted, and Snow Angels - Mini Movie Reviews
I’ve got to stop letting myself get behind on reviews. Anyhow, here are three brief reviews of movies I’ve watched recently.
Towelhead
I don’t remember hearing about this film when it was in theaters, but I recently saw a preview for it on another DVD and was intrigued. Towelhead is the story of Jasira, a 13-year [...]
Hancock - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 49You’ve got to give them credit for trying. Besides the new incarnation of the Batman franchise, the past decade’s burst of superhero movies haven’t held a single interesting character. Hancock is, at least, a departure from your run of the mill Marvel Comics hero.
Played by Will Smith, the walking box office guarantee himself, [...]
Four Mini Movie Reviews
So, I’ve seen several movies recently, but have been way too busy to do reviews of all of them. Here are four brief reviews of films from four different genres, there is something for everyone in this post so be sure to keep reading after the jump.
The Strangers
I, along with most other moderately serious [...]
Righteous Kill - Movie Review
MetaCritic score: 37
The Godfather, Raging Bull, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Scent of a Woman, and Goodfellas. These are six of the reasons why, against my better judgment, I went to see Righteous Kill, a film that earned almost entirely scathing reviews. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are legends. They’ve starred in many of [...]
Cinebarre / Traitor Review Addendum - Podcast!
In a first for me, I went down to the George Street Observer office on campus the other day to record a little discussion of my Cinebarre/Traitor review with my section’s editor Brian Wilder (of the DubiousOne blog as well).
In case you’re interested in checking out what I had to say, or just in discovering [...]
Cinebarre / Traitor - Mt. Pleasant Restaurant and Movie Review
It’s Friday afternoon. You promised your girlfriend you’d take her out to dinner and a movie, but there’s also a party you really want to get to. Let us say dinner takes an hour and a half and you’re going to a two hour movie. Depending on what time your movie starts, that could take [...]
The Bank Job - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 69
I’ve spent some time on this blog making fun of actors, like Ben Stiller, who play essentially the same character in every movie they’re in. That being said, it may be sort of hypocritical to admit that I’m a big Jason Statham fan because, apart from Snatch and Lock Stock & Two Smoking [...]

Pineapple Express - Movie Review
MetaCritic Score: 64
There’s no doubt about it, Seth Rogen is Hollywood’s new comedy golden boy, and he’s got the rapidly growing resume to prove it. Since bursting into the spotlight last summer with the hugely successful Knocked Up and Superbad, he has been in six films and has five more due out between now and [...]
The Dark Knight - Movie Review
Fear not, readers, DH is back in the Palmetto state and determined to get back on the review grind. Now I know, since we witnessed the biggest opening weekend in film history a few days ago, that the majority of you have probably already seen this, but it was the only movie I watched on [...]
