Quick Review: Sunshine

In my never-ending quest to pur off law school homework, I rented the 2007 film Sunshine off my AppleTV last night. I had heard good things about it, but never got the chance to catch it while it was in the theatres. Besides, it has Chris Evans in it – a reason alone to watch it.

I saw this movie, I Am Legend, with Laura Straub. Rich was put off by reviews that called it a zombie movie. His loss. This was one of the best films I saw in 2007.

Review: Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem

I honestly didn’t think I’d pay to see a movie worse than Spider-Man 3 this year. I was wrong.

I plopped down $10.25 to see a little gem (if by “gem” you mean load of crap) called, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (or “AVPR,” for short).
