In this shallow but harmless ode to the most loving of holidays, Pretty Woman director Gary Marshall uses Los Angeles as a back drop for a plethora of stories involvin... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:32:02 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/The-Imaginarium-of-Doctor-Parnassus-21917.html The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is one trippy film experience. But given that it was directed by visionary Terry Gilliam, that should come as absolutely no surprise. Gilliam's films are quite often an acquired taste, but I've always been a big fan of the veteran Monty Python crew member. In The... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:18:27 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Shutter-Island-21916.html The responses to Martin Scorsese's outstanding new thriller Shutter Island have been decidedly mixed. Most of the negative comments seem to be aimed at the film's "twist" which many audiences complain is obvious in the first five minutes of the movie. Taking it a step further, even the coming attrac... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:09:35 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Percy-Jackson-and-the-Olympians-The-Lightning-Thief-21922.html First, the good news. Chris Columbus' adaptation of the fantasy book Percy Jackson Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is far better than his last film, the insipid high school comedy I Love You Beth Cooper. The bad news? Percy Jackson is still pretty mediocre. Its Clash of Titans for tw... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:35:27 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/The-Wolfman-21920.html Its been quite the long road for this retelling of The Wolfman. The film was initially to be directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) but the one time music video director left the project shortly before production due to creative differences with the studio. In stepped Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer,... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:28:57 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Dear-John-21919.html Words that men fear most from the ladies in their lives; "But honey, it's based on a book by Nicholas Sparks." All joking aside, I'm always down for a heartfelt love story and as fate would have it, The Notebook (based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks) was pretty darn good. Taking it a step further, I... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:25:03 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/The-Crazies-21918.html The Crazies is a remake of a George A. Romero film from 1973 and as was the case with Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead redo, this updating has the luxury of a larger budget, slicker production values, and bigger stars. This time around, Romero serves as an executive producer and leaves the directing... Adam Mast Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:22:01 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Hesher-21914.html Last week I took advantage of the great opportunity of seeing some new films at Sundance 2010. What this means is I am seeing films often months before they get a wide release or in some cases longer. In fact a large portion of what I see has not yet secured distribution deals. The firs... Tyler Sanders Thu, 11 Feb 2010 02:05:14 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/The-Lovely-Bones-21905.html Simply put, The Lovely Bones was one of the most disappointing films of 2009. Not unwatchable. Just disappointing. Based on the novel by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones was directed by the gifted Peter Jackson who, just last summer, had a hand in Neill Blomkamp's District 9. The Lovely Bones is a gh... Adam Mast Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:24:17 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Book-of-Eli-21904.html I've always liked sibling directors Albert and Allen Hughes. I even found their From Hell to be a criminally underrated film. While the post apocalyptic Book of Eli has some visual flair and another strong performance by Denzel Washington, it is perhaps, my least favorite of their work. Taking a pag... Adam Mast Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:17:19 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Edge-of-Darkness-21903.html Edge of Darkness (based on an 80's TV movie) marks Mel Gibson's first starring role in a feature since 2002's Signs. In the years since, he's been making quite the name for himself as a director (see Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto). In Edge of Darkness, Gibson plays Thomas Craven, a Boston hom...

In the tradition of films like Open Water, Frozen weaves its tale around three twenty-somethings who find themselves stuck on a ski lift, fifty feet in the air. Wit... Adam Mast Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:59:07 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Daybreakers-21901.html If Daybreakers is any indication of the direction genre films are headed, then consider me officially excited. After the schmaltzy, teen angsty vibe brought to the vampire mythos in Twilight, Daybreakers is just the sort of vampire rebirth bloodsucker fans have been waiting for. Daybreakers imagines... Adam Mast Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:49:07 +0700 http://zboneman.com/movies/Cyrus-Sundance-21897.html CYRUS (2010 SUNDANCE REVIEW) At the moment, I'm seven movies in at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and thus far, Cyrus is my favorite film. The Duplass Brothers have led the mumblecore charge having had a hand in films like The Puffy Chair, Baghead, and Humpday. Now they return with Cyrus, a hi...

By Adam Mast Notice the title says "My Favorite Film Experiences of the Decade" and not "Best Films of the Decade". If I called this the "Best Films of the Decade" I would have felt compelled to limit the list. As the title stands, I can get a l... Adam Mast Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:23:19 +0700
