VIDEO: MOVIE: REVIEW: Rubber (2010)
Clint: 3/5 stars, 6.4/10.
Carolyn: 3/5 stars, 7/10. “And that is being VERY generous.”
Native ratings: 3/5 stars Netflix, 5.7/10 IMDB.
Dafuq did I just watch? A movie about a killer tire?!?!
That’s a very unique concept. A good idea if done right. But unfortunatel it was a bit lame.
It had some weird twists, and didn’t make much sense… But it wasn’t trying to. It was just… weird.
This really could have been an awesome movie. I had higher hopes for it and was let down. They could have really gone somewhere with this.
I was hoping for more of a direct badass parody; something like the movie Machete, but with a rubber tire that violently runs people over, pushes them off cliffs, etc. But instead it tried to be a slightly pretentious commentary on art in general.
The tire killing people the way it did was the ultimate letdown of the movie and the concept as a whole.
Genre-wise, it’s a bit confusing. It’s comedy disguised as horror. It kind of succeeds at being funny, but not at being great.

VIDEO: MOVIE: REVIEW: Grave Encounters (2011)
Clint: 4/5 stars, 7.6/10.
Carolyn: 3.6/5 stars, 7.4/10.
Native rating: 4.5/5 stars Netflix, 6.1/10 IMDB.
A “found footage” movie. Like Blair Witch meets Quarantine meets The Cube.
Good Halloween choice.
It was interesting that the movie is about people that themselves are filming a shitty ghost-chasing reality TV show…. Then get more than they bargained for.
Definitely some really creepy stuff going on here…. Though the VERY ending could have been a bit better.

VIDEO: MOVIE: REVIEW: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
Clint: 5/5 stars, 8/10. Carolyn: 4/5 stars, 9/10.
Native rating: 4.5/5 stars, 6.0/10.
Produced in part by Tim Burton, directed by Timur Bekmambetov — the same director as Night Watch and Day Watch — so he already has experience with awesomely-visual surreal worlds involving vampires. Very good choice. I’m glad this guy is doing English-language movies now.
This was an awesome concept. I pretty much instantly knew from the title alone that I would love this movie.
But then… Even despite all that… It completely blew away my expectations. Way more than I thought, and I already thought I’d love it.
I did not catch on that Abe’s wife was Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
Anyway… Abe Lincoln was already pretty awesome, and this movie made him even cooler than before. Doesn’t matter if it’s fiction. This stoked simultaneous feelings that no other movie has ever stoked before. Great job!
This also wins the award for “best movie idea produced by manatees” (that’s a South Park Vs. Family Guy reference, in case you missed it).
