Choking on PopcornSweet & Salty Movie Reviews!Fido (2006)- June 28, 2008 Fidos premise is a unique one; take the 1950s suburban era and add flesh-eating zombies. You would think that the idea itself would give all sorts of opportunities for great social satire. Sadly, this is not the case. Perhaps if the movie was an animated cartoon, the laughs would have occurred more often; ...http://www.chokingonpopcorn.com/popcorn/?p=1682 Wanted (2008)- June 28, 2008 When I first saw the trailers for Wanted, I wasn&8217;t excited to see CGI bullets spinning in slow motion, but the cast alone is worthy of checking out the film.

My reasons are simply this : 1) marco evolution is still a theory, 2) this film is pure popcorn fantasy anyway and should not be taken too seriously and 3) it&8217;s directed ...http://www.chokingonpopcorn.com/popcorn/?p=1673 The Incredible Hulk (2008)- June 14, 2008 When we last left our heroic green giant back in the 2003 film, Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) was on the run somewhere in South America and hiding away from Thunderbolt Ross and the U.S. Army. Five years later, a lot has changed. For starters, the Ang Lee film has nothing to do with ...http://www.chokingonpopcorn.com/popcorn/?p=1670 We Own The Night (2007)- June 8, 2008 While I was not a big fan of James Gray&8217;s The Yards a number of years ago, I did, at the time, mildly liked the performances of two actors in that film, Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix. In 2007, there was a bit of reunion of the Yards talent, in the form of We ...http://www.chokingonpopcorn.com/popcorn/?p=1665 |
