I hoped for something special when I heard Zach Cregger was making RESIDENT EVIL, but I didn’t expect the result to be one of the year’s most entertaining horror movies. It’s not only great for a video game movie; it’s a great movie, period. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

THE WEIGHT, starring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, opens on Friday. It's kind of a Depression-era version of SORCERER (1977), except more optimistic. I mean that as a complement. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

With THE UPRISING, director Paul Greengrass dramatizes a chapter of history with clear modern-day parallels, and despite his unsubtle approach, the result is a stirring epic. #AndrewGarfield is excellent in it as well. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

Took my mom to the press screening of #PracticalMagic2, thinking she would enjoy it, since she loves the first one. But nope, like me, she felt it was basically a tired retread of the original. Anyway, here's my review. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

Na Hong-jin's HOPE hits theaters tomorrow. It starts out great, with exhilarating car chases and stunts. But by the last half-hour, it all depends on how much bad CGI you can tolerate. Me? Not much. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity

COYOTE VS. ACME is worth getting excited about. It's funny, clever, and critical of corporations, strangely anticipating its journey to the screen. There are some preview screenings over the weekend, followed by a wide release 8/28. #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmCommunity #MovieCommunity
