Filmpopper Review: ‘The Darkest Hour’

Written on December 24, 2011 – 6:28 pm | by Colin |

Well let me preface this review with a question.  Did anyone reading this see the movie Skyline?  If so, be warned… they are pretty damn similar.  The Darkest Hour is another one of those “Aliens have invaded Earth, oh no!” movies.  These aliens like all invaders in recent film history appear to be here for our [...]

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is one of the most anticipated movies this holiday season.  Based off of the bestselling book of the same name by Stieg Larson.  The filmis the first of a trilogy of films to be released. I would like to state that I have yet to read the books, my [...]

Filmpopper Review: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1

Written on November 17, 2011 – 4:09 pm | by Colin |

A man’s Review: Breaking Dawn is the latest in a line of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga books turned movie.  If you’ve seen the last few in the series you probably know what to expect.  So let’s get right to it. I’m going to be honest as far as all the Twilight movies go I thought [...]

Filmpopper Review: ‘In Time’

Written on October 29, 2011 – 10:34 pm | by Colin |

There’s very few original ideas coming out of Hollywood these days, so the idea of In Time intrigued me quite a bit.  Unfortunately I have to say the movie did not live up to my expectations. I liked the original ideas behind it.  I even kind of liked the Robin Hood like feel that the movie portrays. [...]

Filmpopper Review: Three Musketeers

Written on October 20, 2011 – 12:04 pm | by Colin |

Do you remember the last time they remade the Three Musketeers story line and it was just called the Musketeer and sucked?  Well this is kind of a similar story.  The latest reboot of an amazing classic.  Unfortunately Keifer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen aren’t here to help make another amazing movie. This go around the story differed quite a [...]

Filmpopper Review: Footloose

Written on October 13, 2011 – 11:09 pm | by Colin |

Footloose is the latest film to be remade by Hollywood.  Many of you probably remember the original, you know, the one with Kevin Bacon and tractor chicken?   Well essentially this isn’t a true remake.  It takes place in today’s day and age but tells the exact same story.  A small town struck by tragedy bans dancing, [...]

Filmpopper Review: Abduction

Written on September 22, 2011 – 5:49 pm | by Colin |

Abduction is the latest action movie to come out.  Helping to kick off the boring fall movie season.  I will admit I was going into this movie with very low expectations.  I wouldn’t exactly call Taylor Lautner the best actor ever after all. Taylor Lautner plays the teenager we knows how to fight amazingly well for [...]

Filmpopper Review: Apollo 18

Written on September 1, 2011 – 3:04 pm | by Colin |

Apollo 18 is out.  Perhaps the last movie I was really excited to see this summer.  The story follows three astronauts on the “Apollo 18″ mission.  Needless to say if we look in the history books there was no Apollo 18, and this story tells us why. Shot from the point of view of several [...]
