Jonathan Mostow’s “Surrogates” is a fascinating sci-fi action flick that brings up some very interesting points and scenarios. Is the human race becoming too dependent on technology? If we had the opportunity, would we completely forgo the smallest movement if we could simply have a machine perform that movement for us? “Surrogates” presents some disturbing answers to these questions.
In the future, a technology has been developed that allows people to act through surrogates, machines that look like people, and are . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: The Brothers BloomThe best of con films are ones that are able to fool you up until the last second. You may think you know where it’s going, but in truth, it’s going to go the opposite way, or a whole different way entirely. “The Brothers Bloom” is one of these films. It will keep you guessing right up to the very end, and chances are, if you think you know the ending, you don’t.
The film starts off by introducing its main . . .

Story’s about EMMA FRANKLIN and ADAM KURTZMAN. We open on them in bed as they discuss alternate terms for “fuck buddies.” We cut back to 1994 – summer camp in Northern Michigan. 12-yr old Adam spots 12-yr old Emma at a dance – there’s an immediate connection – they make out. Unfortunately, this romance is short-lived since camp . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: 9“9″ is based on a short film directed by Shane Acker back in 2005, which he expanded into this full-length feature film. The short film is not particularly good, so it comes as no surprise that the feature is not particularly good either. It has the feeling of a film with a plot that is stretched out, which is basically what Acker did.
It begins with the awakening of 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) in a scientist’s laboratory. 9 is what . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: (500) Days of Summer“(500) Days of Summer” is one of the strangest love stories that I’ve seen in quite awhile. But then I realize that the film is right in saying that it is not a love story, it is a story about love, and a fragmented one at that. We jump back and forth, witnessing the good days and the bad, looking with our hero to see where things could have possibly gone wrong. What we end up with is an analysis . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: Jennifer’s BodyDiablo Cody, the Academy Award-winning writer of “Juno,” brings us something a little different from her previous project with “Jennifer’s Body.” While it is a little different from “Juno,” the main problem with “Jennifer’s Body” is that it’s not different at all from other horror films that deal with demons and other similar monsters.
Needy (Amanda Seyfried) and Jennifer (Megan Fox) have been best friends since they were little kids. Now in high school, they continue to do everything together, much . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: Away We GoAfter dealing with some of the most twisted relationships in “American Beauty” and “Revolutionary Road,” for once Sam Mendes gets to deal with one where two people are completely in love, in a relationship where everything seems to be worked out….well, where almost everything is worked out.
Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are about to have a baby together. They live in a house that is not exactly the ideal place to raise a child. There’s cardboard over a . . .
Hawkeye Reviews: WhiteoutHere’s another film that is very misleading in its marketing. Like the previews for “Extract” presenting itself as a comedy, “Whiteout,” too, fools the audience into thinking that it’s a genre it’s not. The trailers make one think it’s going to be a thriller set in the wilderness of Antarctica. Well, at least the part about Antarctica is correct.
The film begins back in the 50s when a Russian plane carrying mysterious cargo crashes somewhere in Antarctica. Jumping to present day, . . .

Hawkeye Reviews: Cloudy With a Chance of MeatballsI had the opportunity to view this film in IMAX/3-d, this being the first time I’ve ever experienced the 3-d side of film. It’s fun at first, things flying right up to your face, objects bulging off of the screen as if you could reach out and touch them. After awhile though, the gimmick grows old, and honestly, I stopped noticing it about halfway through. However, the kids in the audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, which I guess is . . .
