Posted by: Bob on: May 18, 2008
Just over one year ago Owl Pellets was created. We’ve come a long way – more writers and a lot more readers. With the summer movie season approaching and festival season on its way, expect more posts and more reviews.
Happy Birthday, Owl Pellets!
War, Inc. – Trailer
Posted by: Bob on: April 6, 2008
Looks like a not-too-subtle, comedic commentary on the Iraq War. I could really go either way on this: the director and writers don’t inspire a great deal of cofidence and it might be a little too over the top; on the other hand, the trailer looks good (it might even be “over the top” in [...]

Directed and Written by Neil Marshall (The Descent). Starring Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig, MyAnna Buring (also in The Descent), David O’Hara, and Malcolm McDowell.
“… maddening mash-up genre picture…”
“You know all those referential spoofs we’ve been getting lately… ? Well, Doomsday is like one of those, except played completely straight.”
This is the reasoning provided [...]

Dir. Ronald Emmerich, Writ. Ronald Emmerich & Harald Kloser, Star. Cliff Curtis, Steven Strait, and Camilla Belle
The worst movie I’ve seen this year. *SPOILERS*
Here’s some trivia: It was not written and directed by a 3rd grader. That may be hard to believe, but I imdb’d it. The dude is 50 something with no obvious mental [...]

Dir. Michel Gondry Writ. Michel Gondry Star. Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover, and Melonie Diaz
Pretty good, I’ll say that. I wouldn’t spend my last seven bucks on it, but it’s good for a Sunday afternoon.
Let’s get Gondry out of the way. He does need Kaufman for a whole, cohesive script. Be Kind Rewind’s [...]

Dir. George A. Romero. Writ George A. Romero. Star Michelle Morgan, Joshua Close, Shawn Roberts.
A faux-verite about some film students who decide to document their attempts to survive when they hear over the radio that the dead now walk the earth.

(Directed by Pete Travis, Written by Barry L. Levy)
I don’t know how many people were/are actually anticipating this film, but for some reason, I went to see it last night. Perhaps it was the trailer I saw for the movie prior to my viewing of I Am Legend that prompted an [at least] entertaining [...]
