If any of you are regular readers here at the ‘Tuss Reviews, then you know this fact already – for those of you who are not, let me say this clearly: I love 3D movies!
And this is the best of the new technology that I have seen. The 3D effects were really horrifiying, and still [...]

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Riddle me this – how could they re-make this movie and leave out the best part? There is a classic line from the 1951 version (for those of you who are too young to know already) “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. So how could they remake this movie and not find a way to work that in? [...]

This is a PG-13 rated slasher flick. Ugh. That seems like a contradiction. Slasher film and PG13, huh? But, there you go. That should tell you somthing. What is the point of a slasher flick, if you can’t really have any real violence? I’ve actually seen more gore on House or CSI.
There were no thrills, there were no chills, and [...]
Sleuth (2007)

It is nice to see Jude Law go from sure of himself to a sniveling, groveling shell with no stops in between.
This was a head-scratcher of a movie. It was stylized, well lit and moody. But it wanted to have lots of clever plot twists and it failed at that aim. I never saw the original and I still [...]
Wow. I have to just say Wow. This was not a good movie. I love some bad horror movies, but this – this was just Not Good.
First off, I was amazed at the voice over work – I’ve heard Jessica Alba do voice overs for Dark Angel – and they sounded fine – these sounded like [...]
The Forsyte Saga (2002)
Posted in BBC, Based on a Book, British, Mini-Series, Period Piece, Remakes, Reviews on February 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Based on a series of nine books by John Galsworthy. I’m only 2 episodes in. I’ll keep updating as I go along.
To be honest, I didn’t really know much about this series before viewing it. I knew it concerned the affairs and the lives of a wealthy family (The Forsytes) beginning about 1874, London. I [...]
3:10 to Yuma

I really enjoyed this movie. I can’t imagine that it was much different from the original. It has the feel and pacing of an old classic cowboy film. And the same type of themes (honor amongst thieves, etc).
Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were both very good (I really thought the young boy playing Bale’s son looked [...]

Someone needs to take the Farrelly Bothers to task. One of you wrote a book called “Comedy Writer.” Well, you didn’t even have to waste your relentless genius on writing this work (Based on Neil Simon – who can genuinely be funny).
It seemed to rely on gross-out pandering tits and ass and base funny to stand [...]
