Little Ashes (2009)Directed by: Paul Morrison
Written by: Philippa Goslett
Starring: Javier Beltran, Robert Pattinson, Matthew McNulty, Marina Gatell, Adria Allue, Simon Andreu, Ruben Arroyo
A biopic where the supposedly brilliant real life characters go around constantly spouting supposedly brilliant things. In other words, a real snore. D-
Tormented (2009)Directed by: Jon Wright
Written by: Stephen Prentice
Starring: Alex Pettyfer, April Pearson, Dimitri Leonidas, Calvin Dean, Tuppence Middleton, Georgia King, Mary Nighy, Olly Alexander, James Floyd
A bullied teenager comes back from the grave to terrorize and kill the popular clique who tormented him while alive. None of the character are likeable, and the film doesn't offer any twists or innovations on this familiar plot. But if you're looking for a fast paced, brainless revenge teensploitation flick, seek this one out. C+
Scenes From A Mall (1991)Directed by: Paul Mazursky
Written by: Roger L. Simon + Paul Mazursky
Starring: Woody Allen, Bette Midler, Bill Irwin
A middle aged couple in Los Angeles visit the mall on Christmas Eve and confess to eachother their infidelities. Then they argue, make up, bicker, fight, make up, have sex, becker some more and get drunk, all the while being stalked by an annoying mime. Allen and Midler are both alright, but things are pretty predictable and by the end you've just watched Bette yelling for an hour while Woody spouts out little Woody-isms. C
Funny People (2009)Directed by: Judd Apatow
Written by: Judd Apatow
Starring: Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza
Unfunny, overlong, self-indulgent movie about a megastar comedian who finds out he's dying. It's like a Lifetime movie with dick jokes. So far, the most disappointing movie of 2009. D
