IN THEATERS*
A
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
"Right from the opening credits and prologue sequence, I knew the film was going to take itself much too seriously." -- David Baldwin
IRON
MAN 2
"While Iron Man was a fairly straight-forward story with fairly little jumping, Iron Man 2 feels like a convoluted mess." -- David; "Robert Downey Jr. has really nice arms." -- Rachel
ROBIN
HOOD
"There is a simple story at its heart but the film takes so many turns, throws so many characters at us, and becomes so distracted that this simple story is almost nowhere to be found." -- David Baldwin
SURVIVAL
OF THE DEAD
"... each successive film after Dawn has yielded proof of the law of diminishing returns... With Survival of the Dead, Romero’s idea well seems to have finally run dry." -- David Rosiak

MOVIE MARATHON
DAREDEVIL
"So, what was wrong here? Well, I’d say let me count the ways, except that I’m not sure I can count that high without a calculator and possibly a slide rule of some kind. ." -- Rachel Hyland
HOWARD
THE DUCK
"He's cute! He's smart! He has biting wit, extraordinary eloquence, snappy dress-sense...and he's a duck! Cinema just doesn't get any better." -- Rachel Hyland
SPIDER-MAN
"The constant in all origin movies is that the hero has to give something up to be super. It seems that superhero-dom is a major barrier to a fulfilling love life." -- Brad Crammond
SUPERMAN
"Everything that makes Superman the epitome of superhero icons that he is can be seen in this, the original blockbuster superhero movie." -- K. Burtt
