Elysium - Movie Review

After the success and critical acclaim of District 9, writer/director Neill Blomkamp quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of science fiction movies. Now, with Elysium, he raises the stakes with a story that attempts to be as thought provoking as it is visually stunning. Matt Damon stars alongside Sharlto Copley, Jodie Foster, Alice Braga, William Fichtner, and Diego Luna.

Happy Feet Two - Movie Review

The first Happy Feet movie was a huge hit and a surprise success for Fox Animation so naturally plans were set in motion to create a sequel. With an all star cast including Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Sofia Vergara along with the latest in animation and 3D technologies, Happy Feet Two looks to recapture the magic of the first installment.

Contagion - Movie Review

There seems to be a lot of hype about the quality of this movie partly due to the star studded cast featuring Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburn, Jude Law, and Kate Winslet just to name a few. Director Steven Soderbergh also adds a large credibility factor due to previous critical successes that he has brought to the screen including the likes of Traffic, Erin Brockovich and his breakout feature Sex, Lies, and Videotape. All of this quality star power both in front of and behind the camera should certainly have Contagion primed for some award season honors down the road, but after watching this movie I walked out of the theater with a differing opinion that what I had already heard and read.
