11/20/11--20:28: ‘Eclipse’ is another wasted chance to lure non-Twihards (chan 1553406)

From member Christian Toto: Consider the latest “Twilight” sequel another wasted chance to draw non-Twihards into the fold. “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” suffers from the same problems plaguing the past two films. Stiff acting. Hokey special effects. Theatrics ripped from an Afterschool Special. Did I mention the lousy acting? There’s still that palpable bond between [...]


11/20/11--20:28: ‘The Last Airbender’ is a colossal disappointment (chan 1553406)

From member Brandon Fibbs: Shortly before the release of his film Signs, Time magazine heralded writer/director M. Night Shyamalan as “the next Spielberg,” a moniker that has proved to be something of a millstone about the neck of an artist whose films since then have met with nothing but exponentially mounting contempt.

11/20/11--20:28: ‘The Last Airbender’ is more than just a sad summer film entry (chan 1553406)

11/20/11--20:28: ‘Eclipse’ – I didn’t care whether Bella chose Jacob or Edward (chan 1553406)

From member Robert Denerstein: There are two possible audiences for the Twilight movies: the unsuspecting and the legion of fans who are intensely devoted to the books by Stephenie Meyer. Fans of the books bring their own judgments to the theater, and if the response of the teen and tween audience at a preview screening [...]


11/20/11--20:28: “Inception” — Critic vs. Critic (chan 1553406)

Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” hit movie theaters this weekend, and most critics are raving about the director’s latest vision. Dave Taylor (Dave On Film) calls it arguably the best film of the summer, if not the year. Not everyone thinks “Inception” lives up to the hype. Critic Christian Toto (What Would Toto Watch?) found the film [...]
