How bout some mini reviews?

X-Men First Class: Excellent reboot of the series, well acted and directed. I don't think it was as good as Singer's 2000 film, but still damn good. A

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules: Nowhere near as fun as the original. C

John Carpenter's The Ward: What happened to you John? F

Bad Teacher: Not good, but not bad either. C

The Ace is moving, so reviews may be few and far between for awhile, but stay tuned dear readers!

Mini Review: "Rammbock Berlin Undead"

Possibly the most engaging 59 minute film you'll ever see.

A+


Mini Review: "Priest"

Fun, but wholly uncreative or clever film. Only good to simply shut your brain down and eat popcorn.

C

Mini Review: "Yellowbrickroad"

This "Blair Witch" style thriller attempts to explore what happened in a small New England town in 1940, but instead explores the limits of poor filmmaking.

F


Mini Review: "Bridesmaids"

Absolutely the funniest, craziest and most outrageous time I've had at a theater in a LONG time.

A+

Movie Reviews, its a 3 for 1 day

Sorry for not being around so much friends, you know how life can be sometimes. As a thank you for your patience, here are 3 mini reviews for you!

Hanna: Absolutely brilliant film about a young girl raised by her father to be an assassin who finds life is not what she imagined. A+

Trust: Teenage girl meets sexual predator online, he rapes her, but the way this story is presented and how she and her family react are very clever. A

Source Code: Clever story that is directed wonderfully, making Duncan Jones 2-2 A
