The Adjustment Bureau (2011) – The following review first appeared as part of a larger article (“Now in Theaters”) on 12ftdwende.com on 11 March 2011. Anyone who knows me knows I like Dick… Phillip K. Dick, that is. What did you think I meant? Fucking gutter-minded perverts. Truthfully I have only read one of his … Continue reading →

Contagion (2011)

Contagion (2011) – A couple of years ago, there was a big scare over the H1N1 virus, or “swine flu” (or something like that, my recollection for specifics of medical news items from three years ago may not be one hundred percent accurate). In the end the scare was revealed to be disproportionate to the … Continue reading →

Hereafter (2010)

Hereafter (2010) — I enjoyed this movie but I at the same time I had a nagging problem with this movie. There are three separate stories that for most of the film’s running time did not connect, all telling stories about death. You have Marie (Cécile De France), a French journalist who survives the 2004 … Continue reading →

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Saving Private Ryan (1998) — That Spielberg kid might just have a future in the pictures…  This movie is kind of odd tonally.  It manages to be somehow unrelenting and sentimental at the same time.  That shouldn’t really work but it does.  The basic premise is not really an easy one.  What is one guy’s … Continue reading →

The Informant! (2009)

Posted by moviegeek916 on September 6, 2011 · Leave a Comment 

The Informant! (2009) — One of those true story movies that keeps you in constant “what the fuck?” mode.  Plus using Wikipedia (the most half-assed research method known to man) I learned that it is all more-or-less true.  This movie has several great strengths.  The most prominent of which is Matt Damon.  His portrayal of … Continue reading →
