Sleepwalk With Me

Mike Birbiglia's
Charming, bittersweet tale of
A sleep disorder

And how it caused him
To (eventually) be
A better man and

Do better on stage.
A fairly lightweight story
Taken mostly from

His standup routines
It is cute, funny, well made,
And winningly short.

Resident Evil: Retribution (IMAX 3D)

Not a good movie
But at least a fun one, it
Shares a lot with the

Last movie I saw
In IMAX, Avatar. Both
Have bad acting, great

Action, and I found
The ridiculousness was
Rather endearing.

RE wins out though,
It doesn't take itself at
All seriously.

The Expendables 2

The dumbest movie 

To be released this year, I

Really enjoyed it.

Less a movie, more

The best videogame I'll

Never get to play.

Better action than

Part one, with more silly one-

Liners and even

Worse dialogue. It

Has everything you'd expect,

Both the good and bad.

Beasts of the Southern Wild

An original
And unflinching (though somehow
Not pretentious) tale

Of a girl finding
Her place in the universe,
It is a creole

Winter's Bone with a
Much younger yet equally
Intense lead actress.

Q* Wallis carries
The whole movie on tiny,
Impressive shoulders.


*Her first name is actually Quvenzhané, I'm guessing it is four syllables, but I wasn't confident enough to try to include the whole thing.

Moonrise Kingdom

Even if you don't
Like Wes Anderson's style,
You've got to admit,

He sure knows how to
Do a lot with a little.
Here his overly

Precise direction,
Lyrical storytelling
And eccentric cast

Combine to make a
Charming, funny tale of young
Love and adventure.

Prometheus

The superb acting
And directing deserve a
Better script, one with

Good dialogue and
Character development
Luckily I tend

To have a soft spot
For sci-fi that tries to be
More than just action

Prometheus TRIES,
Very hard, for greatness but
Never quite makes it

The Cabin In The Woods

A lot has been said
About how much you should know
When going to see

This crazy freak show.
Yes there's a cabin, and it's
A giant cliche

But that is the point
So why don't you stay? Come for
The humor, and Joss

Whedony bits, but
Don't be surprised if all your
Expectations are completely and utterly subverted by how he messes with convention.
