Main: InterconnectedFiller: Band of the Decade

[RySenkari]

Wings of Icarus.

[Hiccup]

Interconnected- 84%

Interconnected is a slow paced sci-fi/fantasy film that relies heavily on story and character development instead of action and visuals which might turn away some thrill seek moviegoers. However the film makes up for this with strong acting and intriguing story. While action and visuals are sparse when they do appear they are done brilliantly.

[Hiccup]

Band of the Decade- 9%

Band of the Decade is a disgrace to cinema with its generic story and songs and faulty acting. Despite the all-star comedy cast, the film is greatly lacking in humor and fun. The movie goer will be confused whether the film is trying to spoof itself or if it trying to be serious.

[Hiccup]

Wings of Icarus- 97%

Boosting jaw-dropping animation, a story with dramatic depth and emotion, and thrilling and enchanting musical numbers, Wings of Icarus is among the greatest of animated films. The voices of the actors bring amazing and honest beauty to the film.

[Empire]

Main: A Very Amazing(Crazy) Christmas MovieFiller: Paperboy

[SilverShark]

main : SpellForce and maybe American Idols

[Hiccup]

A Very Amazing (Crazy) Christmas- 49%

While funny is some parts and very loyal to the holiday spirit, A Very Amazing (Crazy) Christmas is altogether is holiday miss due to its flat story line and mediocre acting.

[Hiccup]

Paperboy- 36%

The intentions are in the right place but the film lacks the smart whit of family comedy and is thoroughly predictable.

[Hiccup]

SpellForce- The Order of Dawn- 60%

SpellForce- The Order of Dawn is an entertaining fantasy film that has sadly been reduced to only impressive visuals and battle sequences overcompensating for lax storytelling and average performances.

[Hiccup]

American Idols- 89%

While American Idols might be overlooked by critics this year, it is truly one of the best films of the year with a moving performance by Josh Hutcherson and a brilliantly told story that enlightens moviegoers.

[Hiccup]

Nightmare Chronicle- 10%

With a painfully cliche script and wasted talent, Nightmare Chronicles only aids in the spiral decent of modern vampire films.

[Hiccup]

Birds of a Feather- 54%

While Birds of a Feather has cute and funny moments included with fairly strong animation, it is altogether childish and lacks the certain touch that makes animated films appealing to older audiences.

[Hiccup]

Mars Trilogy: Red Mars (3D)- 18%

Mars Trilogy: Red Mars is a substance lacking, overly long, special effect driven extravaganza that displays how visuals and 3D can utterly ruin films.

[Hiccup]

Valentines Day Vendetta- 25%

While Valentines Day Vendetta offers a few good thrills and scares with a stylish and slick tone, it offers nothing new to the horror genre.

[Hiccup]

Keep the requests coming!

[Water Bottle]

Main Film: Alien-NationI have no fillers.

[Hiccup]

Alien-Nation- 66%

The film has an intense and exciting storyline that hypes the viewer up for a bang and boom conclusion. Unfortunately the ending tanks and leaves the reader in a utter state of disappointment. However since the story and acting is strong enough to make this film worth seeing.

[Hiccup]

The End of the Universe- 93%

Even though the End of the Universe might be too violent and deep for children, it is nevertheless an engrossing science fiction animated tale that boosts dynamic characters, a majestic score, and top-notch state of the art animation worthy of acclaim.
