INSTANT REVIEW: A Serious Man (2/5)

A few things happen, there is no climax in the action, and there is no resolution to a single problem. Post-meaningful film at its finest. A few funny moments make it tolerable.

INSTANT REVIEW: American History X (3/5)
Hyped up plenty, but I can't help but feel so much of it is cheap political posturing and disconnected melodrama. Not to mention that ending. The fuck? Is this even connected to the plot?

INSTANT REVIEW: Sunshine (2007) 2/5

A movie with good characters (for sci-fi), a good story (for sci-fi), and quality special effects that carried the weight just fine until it decided sci-fi wasn't enough and went horror 2/3rds of the way through for some reason.

INSTANT REVIEW: Django Unchained (2012) 5/5

Revenge and a healthy serving of spaghetti western references with Tarantino's usual awesome dialogue and dark humor. It claims to be two hours and forty minutes long, but doesn't feel like it. I'd see if I were you.

INSTANT REVIEW: The Descendants (2011) 5/5

A solid drama with plenty of light moments given the many terrible things that happen. I do feel sorry for the actress who had to play comatose for 90% of the movie. Clooney and the rest of the conscious players are awesome. Also, 'Sup bro?

INSTANT REVIEW: Oblivion (2013) 3/5

Rehashes themes and entire plot lines of other sci-fi films with its big budget and seamless CG. Huge plot holes and blatant theft aside, it's almost as beautiful to look at as Tom Cruise in his prime.

INSTANT REVIEW: Iron Man III (2013) 3/5

Apparently part of a trilogy and crossover or something. Have you heard of this little movie? Will upset hardcore fans because it flubs minor details. Surprisingly little Iron Man in this movie. The best part is when Tony Stark makes fun of a child.

INSTANT REVIEW: Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) 4/5

I really want to nitpick this film because that's what Star Trek nerds do, but instead I'll just review it. Lots of action, lots of epic space awesomeness, all tied together with a story that more or less makes sense. It's basically a long-form big-budget episode and that's what I want in a Star Trek movie.
