Ten Dollar Reviews: Children of Men
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2009/05/children-of-men.html
Saturday, May 2, 2009. Clive Owen. Julianne Moore. Michael Caine. and the underrated Chiwetel Ejiofor all carry their characters from beginning to end here. A slew of unknowns provide immaculate supporting performances that help keep the gritty borderline-documentary feel of the movie. Effects and Animation - $1. Repeat Play - $1. Shock Value - $1. Action and Ass-Kickery - $1. Ever but it's still a decent time. Enjoy! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a pansy about needles and have asthma too bad t...

Ten Dollar Reviews: The Cat in the Hat
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/12/cat-in-hat.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. The Cat in the Hat. The Cat in the Hat is one of Hollywood's two attempts at live-action recreations of Dr. Seuss classics (the other being The Grinch and even I. For Ages 5 and Up - $2. The point of this category is to determine whether a "kids" movie is going to be enjoyable only for kids. and that is definitely not the case here folks. Man oh man, I'd say they even go a little far here. There's a "dirty hoe" joke with a garden tool! Nobody was taking this one too seriously, b...

Ten Dollar Reviews: Black Sheep
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/black-sheep.html
Sunday, October 12, 2008. I don't know any of the actors in the film, nor am I familiar with anything else put out by the director or producer, so I will just go ahead and jump into the review. Take a gander at the rating system. Wait a moment, and let that soak in. Sheep. Eating. People. What part of a plot like this made you think there would be any less than two dollars worth of death? Effects and Animation - $1. Critters and Creatures - $2. So, you read the part above about the man-eating sheep right?

Ten Dollar Reviews: The Crow
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/11/crow.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Fly on over to the rating system. For a reminder.). For every decent performance you have in The Crow, there's a "they really get paid for this? One right behind it. This might be due in part to some of the over-the-top characters. or the number of traditionally B-movie actors that were given less than minor roles. Either way, it is what it is and you it's not enough to make the movie suck. Repeat Play - $1. Pump up the Jams - $2. Action and Ass-Kickery - $1. 30 Days of Night.

Ten Dollar Reviews: 30 Days of Night
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/30-days-of-night.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. 30 Days of Night. There is a group of vampires that don't have to worry about sunlight for a month in a town whose population has no way of leaving. hmmm. I think there's a couple pulses stopping. Come ON people! Critters and Creatures - $1. Repeat Play - $2. Shock Value - $1. Action and Ass-Kickery - $1. I hate to keep comparing this to other vampire movies, but it's hard not to. So with that in mind, there isn't really as much "action" as I had expected. There's stil...India...

Ten Dollar Reviews: Casino Royale
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/11/casino-royale.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. 144 minutes (make sure you pee before you sit down). Shootings. stabbings. chokings. yeah, there's some death. MI6 agents earn their double-0 status by getting two kills under their belt and are expected to complete their missions no matter what means are necessary. Bond being the baddest ass of the Brits, you can only expect that he'll flat line at least a few folks that cross his path. Repeat Play - $2. Hello Ladies - $2. You know what I'm talking about? The bimbo that he nai...

Ten Dollar Reviews: The Dark Knight
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/12/dark-knight.html
Saturday, December 20, 2008. Effects and Animation - $1. Repeat Play - $2. Nerd Factor - $2. The trailers for TDK had me drooling on my keyboard for months and I was still completely blown away when I saw the full film. I thought I knew what was coming but nothing could have prepared me for the level of awesome I was about to watch. It's dark and brutal and everything it should be. I friggin love it!

Ten Dollar Reviews: Brotherhood of the Wolf
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/brotherhood-of-wolf.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Brotherhood of the Wolf. Critters and Creatures - $1. With the beast being the focal point of the film, I was curious what it would actually turn out to be in the end. I was very pleased with the build-up as well as the pay-off since they managed to maintain a slight level of plausibility (in terms of "movie" plausibility) without taking away from the "things that go bump in the night" level of fear that it induced. Hello Ladies - $1. Shock Value - $1. There are some surprisin...

Ten Dollar Reviews: Blade: Trinity
http://tendollarreviews.blogspot.com/2008/08/blade-trinity.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. This is the time on Sprockets when we rate. Need a rating system reminder? It could be argued that killing vampires doesn't count since they are the "undead" but friggin hell, they are dropping like flies in this piece. If you blink you might miss a suck-head turning to ash and you'll be hard pressed to find it happen the same way twice. Add to that the body count of secondary characters and extras, and that's some might fine death! Hello Ladies - $2. Pump up the Jams - $2. I'm a...
