In a style that only the Japanese could bring to fruition, comes this bloody, engaging, and interesting take on the “fight for survival” concept. The movie, put simply, is about high school delinquents who are placed on an island and are required, by the Battle Royale Law, to kill each other within three days until only one survives. The reason: the Japanese economy has pretty much collapsed, students are boycotting school, and unemployment has skyrocketed. Read more »

I met Scott Mednick before he announced both Where the Wild Things Are and TMNT. He said to be prepared for some great films coming out later this year. After that discussion with him my expectations for these films skyrocketed. That’s why when the trailer was released for Where the Wild Things Are I flipped out with ecstatic child-like enjoyment.

I went into this movie having read rumors that the test audience rated gave this movie the worst rating in Paramount’s history resulting in the director, Stephen Sommers, being fired; then not actually not being fired. As I mentioned in my introduction, when I watch a movie I do my best to forget about anything I had heard about it so that I can decide for myself how I feel about the movie. When the movie was all said and done, I was surprised with what I had just seen.

Sunshine Cleaning – This movie didn’t get a lot of press, at least not to my knowledge as I had never heard of the movie or seen any trailers or commercials for it. Usually when I come across a movie like this I revert to a B or C movie watching state of mind; looking for times when the acting makes something serious funny, or when the plot gets so ridiculous it loses any sense it might have had.
