It is Love Actually sans charm, a wisp of a confection with little depth, and a gaggle of very talented actors portraying characters who are kind of cute and maybe occasionally funny but whom you will, for the most part, not really give a shit about because the film doesn't take any real risks.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/valentines-day-2010/feed/ 0 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-a-team-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-a-team-2010/#comments Fri, 18 Jun 2010 03:33:31 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=692 can recall the general tone of it and why, both as a kid and now as an adult, I think it's super cool. I can confidently say that Joe Carnahan's film reboot of the series both captures the reckless enthusiasm of the original and manages to uphold the fun action film tradition we would expect from Hannibal, Face, B.A. and Murdock.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-a-team-2010/feed/ 0 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/hot-tub-time-machine-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/hot-tub-time-machine-2010/#comments Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:04:39 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=674 Hot Tub Time Machine. It is exactly what you'd expect from the poster and synopsis: A mostly-vapid gross out comedy with a lot of slapstick humor. ]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/hot-tub-time-machine-2010/feed/ 0 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-runaways-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-runaways-2010/#comments Sat, 12 Jun 2010 21:22:28 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=670 Twilight franchise, and in it she annoyed me nearly as much as she does as Bella. I assumed, not unreasonably, that rather than actually act, she'd prefer to blink and twitch her way through scenes. Apparently I was very wrong, and The Runaways is proof.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-runaways-2010/feed/ 1 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-wolfman-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-wolfman-2010/#comments Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:33:39 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=660 Wolfman. I hadn't heard many good things about the film, but I still had the hope that it might surprise me and at least turn out a few characters worth giving a shit about. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't give its viewers much of anything to give a shit about whatsoever, turning out a bland and unimpressive rehashing that while isn't bad enough to be shameful, certainly isn't good enough to be called an homage.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/the-wolfman-2010/feed/ 2 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/a-nightmare-on-elm-street-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/a-nightmare-on-elm-street-2010/#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:12:29 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=656 Nightmare on Elm Street series—For a certain value of "fan," at least. Since I was a kid, I've seen most to all of the original films (Most of them tend to blend together), and while I enjoy them, it isn't because I think they're high art. I will say this much, though: Freddy Krueger has always terrified me on some primal, human level, and I think that's why I've always liked the Elmstreet films. It's fun to be scared, even if it's mostly ridiculous.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/06/a-nightmare-on-elm-street-2010/feed/ 0 http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/05/iron-man-2-2010/ http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/05/iron-man-2-2010/#comments Sat, 15 May 2010 13:55:50 +0000 Anita http://filmikaze.com/?p=637 Iron Man film franchise makes it difficult for me to be objective about it. … As an aside, I am currently making back-dated posts as I catch up post-finals, but these may not show up on your RSS feeds if that is how you follow the site.

Like so many envelope-pushers before it, the things that make it great are invariably the things that many an average Joe can't swallow. Whether or not you'll come out of it glowing or disgusted is going to be a matter of your personal moral code, but I can firmly say this: The film is incredible in a way that transcends good filmmaking and makes it innovative and important.]]> http://filmikaze.com/index.php/2010/04/kick-ass-2010/feed/ 0
