Quick Review: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Ink and Wash Lincoln done with brush!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is the fake chronicle of Abraham Lincoln's vampire hunting career from his youth all the way into his presidency. It is exactly as ridiculous as it looks and sounds. If you like ridiculous over the top action movies, you'll love this. There's not much of a story or a general arc, and the plot moves way too fast for any kind of narrative sense(He flakes on a girl and then 2 minutes later asks her to marry him?). It's also very similar to Wanted as it has the same director, which could be a good or bad thing.

Benjamin Walker pulls off a great Lincoln, and is especially convincing in the full make-up.  Jimmi Simpson is always funny and they have Alan Tudyk(who might be a vampire?), but sadly don't go anywhere with him.  But the action is enjoyable with plenty of over the top axe action and the the 3D is perfect, even going so far as to have a special trick with the vamp's eyes.  If you like the idea of Lincoln being a vampire hunter, you'll enjoy the movie. $$$$

Sketched Discussion: 7 good uses of 3D

After watching Wrath of the Titans and The Avengers trailer, I got to thinking what makes good 3D and what are some techniques to best use it.  Whether you see 3D as the big new thing like color TV or a flash gimmick like 80's 3D, there's no denying there are some great ways to incorporate it effectively into the movie experience. Here are seven great uses of 3D(with mock storyboards from The Avengers trailer)!

The Lorax

Get out your Thneeds and plastic trees, we're reviewing The Lorax!

Trees before hoes, guy! 

Wow you guys, The Lorax is amazing! It's such a telling tale that NEEDS to be told even more today than when it came out. The 2D animation is wonderful, and I'm in love with all the contraptions they created for the world. It's just long enough at half an hour and it's almost word for word like the...wait. Did you mean the 2012 Lorax? The one that's selling cars? Oh. OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH. shit.

John Carter

Get out your scantily clad women and green aliens, we're reviewing John Carter!

Carter! Get your ass to Mars! Did someone use that joke already?

I so wish this was still called "John Carter of Mars." It would have made so much more sense to the context of the movie. As it stands, it's pretty good. It feels a lot like Pirates of the Caribbean, or a Star Wars film. Think of it this way, it's better than the prequels, but not as good as the originals.

A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas

Get out your drugs and 3D glasses! We're reviewing A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas!!!

I really like how Harold turned out.  It's been a crazy week and I'm currently sick, so I reserve the right to come back and color it later.

There's no getting around that this movie is stupid and ridiculous. If you've seen the trailer, you have an idea of what you're in for. But is it the good kind of stupid?

Also this is the first review with my new editor, Leilani Oliden!  Goodbye typos!

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon review

Cue the Explosions, we're reviewing Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon!

Did this in flash, not sure how successful it is.

I think everyone already knows whether or not they're going to see it. I've heard reviews saying it's the best one yet, and others saying it's just playing terrible.  My humble opinion, it's got amazing 3D action, but I literally went, "Wait, what?" every 15 minutes.
