For a Good Time Call looks like a cookie cutter friendship movie with lots of sugary sweetness and learning but very quickly reveals itself to be quite a bit more…if not as much more as I would have liked. After going through one of the most awkward on-screen break ups ever, followed almost immediately by [...]

Safety Not Guaranteed Movie Review
At once sweet, earnest and brutally funny Safety Not Guaranteed is a terrific film that manages to deliver a mixture of heart, pathos and comedy without ever feeling too light or too heavy handed. Inspired by an ad that ran in a 1997 issue of Backwoods Home Magazine as a joke/filler for the magazine’s classifieds [...]
Awesome Minecraft Mock Movie Trailer
The sheer power and talent of the amature movie scene is getting out of control; here is a group that put together a mock trailer for a Minecraft movie that looks absolutely fantastic; nice job guys:
Peter Leon – Cinematic Genius
Okay, so here’s the deal. Peter Leon is absolutely on FIRE, and I don’t mean with gonorrhea. He is the bomb-diggity when it comes to filmmaking, and here is the trailer – hot off the presses – for his newest movie. See if you recognize anyone in the trailer…look for the guy with the UNO [...]
Holy Awesome, Batman! Sequel to The Dark Knight to be shot entirely in IMAX!?
News came out today via ign.com that the sequel to 2008′s absolutely amazing “The Dark Knight” may be shot from start to finish in the IMAX format. For those of you who remember (lay off the alcohol and it’ll come back to you) “The Dark Knight” was shot only partially for IMAX screens. The total [...]
Toy Story 3 Mini Review
I just got back from Toy Story 3 in 3D and I have a few thoughts on the film that I’d like to share with the readers and get your feedback on this: This was about half as funny as Toy Story 2 – at least I found myself laughing about half as much during [...]
Predators Movie Review
I’ve been looking forward to Predators for a long time. I love Predator and I love Robert Rodriguez. It should have been a match made in heaven but I can’t help but feel disappointed. There were a lot of good ideas and a lot of it was executed well but a few key flaws really [...]
Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Review
Just to get this out of the way right up front, Eclipse is by far the best of the Twilight movies so far. Many of the annoying things of the past movies were fixed and it looked fabulous. That being said, the problem that even the best Twilight movie is always going to have, and [...]
Knight and Day Review
The experience of watching Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is sort of like eating cotton candy at the fair. It is tasty and you enjoy it but then it dissolves in your mouth and disappears. The movie is fun and light and dissolves right about the time you walk out of [...]
The A-Team (2010) Review
Right off the bat, the A-Team is over the top, absurd, cheesy and ridiculous. It is also one of the most accurate adaptations ever and the most fun I have had at the movies all summer. Frankly if you think the movie is too unrealistic and cheesy then you were obviously not a fan of [...]
John Goodman Could Play The Godfather
Was just looking through DListed and saw that John Goodman has lost like 150 lbs recently… and the first thing, for whatever reason, that dawned on me was: “Goodman could be The Godfather if they ever did a remake”. See what you think, here he is now: and here is Marlon Brando: That shit is [...]
Bullying the Karate Kid or Really? REALLY?
In the last few years Hollywood has really gotten into remakes. They are all over the place. Not a day goes by that you won’t read about some movie or franchise getting remade or rebooted. It isn’t really hard to see why this is attractive to studios. You don’t have to come up with new [...]
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Review
When I was a kid just seeing the posters and cover boxes for the first two Nightmare on Elm Street movies was enough to scare the absolute crap out of me. My cousin rented both of them one Easter weekend and my mom let me watch them in the very misguided hope that if I [...]
Free Giveaway: Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic
What is this ‘Giveaway’ Stuff? Here at Break it Down Blog we get things sent to us for review from time to time. After the review is over we need to clear off our shelves and we thought giving the items away to readers for just the cost of shipping would be a great way [...]
Dante's Inferno: Animated Movie Review
Summary [6.5 out of 10] Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic is an excellent adaptation of the story behind the video game of the same name, but in the grand scheme of anime, feels like an average attempt. For a new IP from EA, putting all the money behind the game and the animated movie is [...]
Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Xbox 360) Review
Summary [8.5/10 (for fans) 6.5/10 (for anyone else)] Set in 1991 the Ghostbusters game effectively serves as a de facto third movie This is a cannon installment in the series which will apparently be relevant to the actual third movie. Written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis, the game finds the Ghostbusters thriving and happy [...]
The Day the Earth Stood Still Looks… Interesting
This is an extended 5-min trailer for the upcoming The Day the Earth Stood Still movie. The thing that interests me the most about these world-catastrophy type movies is either what happens to us, or how we get out of it. Movies like Independence Day solve that problem by throwing layers of absolute retardation ontop [...]
Universal to Make 'Army of Two' Movie
Electronics Arts has announced plans to bring Army of Two to the big screen. Scott Stuber will produce the film through Stuber Productions. Scott Z. Burns has also signed on to adapt the game for the silver screen. Scott Z. Burns is most notably known for his work on The Bourne Ultimatum, which he co-wrote [...]
Summer of Tears Redoes: Teen Wolf
Going into this, I had no idea what it was, but god… I’d really suggest you give it a watch. It looks like Summer of Tears is a group of folks that re-edit and green-screen themselves (pretty damn well) back into some original scenes of classic movies, adding some awesome lines and cut-aways as if [...]
Tokyo Gore Police is a Family Movie
The “Break it Down” Blog introduced us to the upcoming Oscar-winning family movie: Tokyo Gore Police back in April with the first teaser trailer, but it seems that a new trailer and more gooder trailer has come out for the movie, really going into depth and showing how the characters are developed. For film fans [...]
Harry Potter Delays His Climax
The box-office darlings have made a life-altering, earth-shattering, we’re-sorry-there-will-be-no-second-coming-of-the-messiah-after-all and by-the-way-there-is-no-Santa-Clause crushing announcement that has sent thousands running to petitionspot.com to cry to the producers about how it’s not fair, and how they’re just in it for the money (what is this, Hollywood or something?), and various other “Please Harry put on your clothes and [...]
Punisher: War Zone – Sometimes A Shotgun in the Face is Hilarious
What was wrong with the first Punisher? Tom Jane is a badass, there were guns and bad guys and a montage scene in which he built an entire car… what was missing? Gore! You don’t make a movie like Punisher, from a comic founded in mostly punishing people and skip the gore. There was the [...]
Bringing Your Baby to a Theater Makes me Wish You Were Sterile
Have you had the joy of this happening to you as well? You’ve had a long week, you finally decided to go see the new hot movie opening weekend so you get off work, rush home, collect your significant other and rush off to the theater where you pay $20 for tickets and another $317 [...]
Max Payne Trailer – Not Too Shabby
In lighter news, the trailer for the Max Payne movie with Mark Wahlberg has come out… doesn’t look too bad, looks about a 6 out of 10 just because of the implied cheese factor; little things you notice, like how his gritty, world-trodden trench coat is brand new and pristine or the snow-covered Glock… cause [...]
