Not without its faults and borrowing of ideas, Oblivion stands well enough on its own as a decent blockbuster.You know what the inevitable problem with being ambitious is? You're more susceptible to pissing off a lot of people rather than only a few. I think director Jospeh Kosinski should be applauded and re...more

... The lengths OBLIVION goes to tell every other film's story except its own is stunning. Stunningly idiotic...Remember WALL-E? Sure you do. It was that half great love story with no vocals; half that terrible ill-focused social-statement. Well, take that first portion--all of the desolation, loneliness and cr...more

Oblivion is no question a visual marvel and features Tom Cruise at his best. But sadly that gets clouded by its overwhelming and confusing plot while all the same running too long and it fails to capture or retain your attention after about the hour mark.I wish i had better news for the online community as i am currently posting this review, but sadly "Oblivion" is just not the movie sci-fi geeks are going to be drooling over. Ever since i have seen P...more

A so so science fiction, that steals more than it originates.To watch 'Oblivion' is to watch the greatest science fiction films mashed together into a cohesive, yet un-original plot thread. Films including; 'Star Wars', 'Wall-E', 'Armageddon', 'Pitch Black' and...more

Let me ask you something - how much did they get paid to storm Normandy, how much did King Arthur get paid to kill Merlin, how much did they get paid to invent Television? Nothing. They did it because they knew it was right.Alright, when I first saw a trailer for OBSERVE AND REPORT, I thought, "This just looks like another stupid Seth Rogen comedy". BUT, when I saw this trailer for this I had never actually seen a Seth R...more

Great Movie, with Dark but Hilarious Humor.This movie may not be for everyone, but I loved it. The humour is dark, as it is a black comedy. Seth Rogen did an excellent job and gives one of his best performances in a movie, so far i...more ( Short Review: 134 words )

Seth Rogen brings his best performance yet in 'Observe and Report' that shows some good points in dark, sick and funny waysSome people will be thinking that 'Observe and Report' is the adult version of 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop', which I did enjoy 'Mall Cop' and got plenty of chuckles out from Kevin James, but 'Observe and Re...more

When I Paint My Masterpiece..This film was one of the raunchiest, best written, stubby dick filled films I've ever seen. Seth Rogen's roles are usually tinted with a mean spirited nature, but Ronnie Barnhardt is his m...more

Right now, the world needs a Hero!OBSERVE AND REPORT is outrageous, hilarious, everything you need in an R-rated comedy that will not let you down. Writer/director Jody Hill who previously helmed The Foot Fist Way has brought us a tes...more

In these dark times, people need something to believe in.When I first saw the trailer for this I was like "Hell no!" But over the time of me seeing that preview over and over, a lot happened. I now, am open to the comedy genre. Ok, so I used to hate every c...more

Hilarious and oddly heartbreaking, this is Seth Rogen's best film to date. Beautiful and weird, it's one of the craziest comedies I've seen in a long time. I loved every minute of it.I know this goes against the strict coda of current comedic thought, but I didn’t enjoy Jody Hill’s Foot Fist Way one bit. I thought it was boring and a bit morose. Maybe the plight of a strip mal...more
