“Dark Skies” not your average horror flick

GREYDON WILLIAMS – Hoof Prints Staff

“Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

This quote started off the movie “Dark Skies,” a horror movie directed by Scott Steward, which hit theatres recently. The movie itself follows a traditional lurking horror style [...]

“Warm Bodies” date movie for everyone

 

GREYDON WILLIAMS – Hoof Prints Staff

“Warm Bodies,” directed by Johnathan Levine, is the newest “date” movie. Nicholas Hoult stars as R alongside Teresa Palmer as Julie Grigio and John Malkovich as Colonel Grigio. The movie is based off a book by Isaac Marion.

In the film the zombie R is [...]

“Twilight” Tweeters take up timeline

JILLIAN KEY – Hoof Prints Staff

Thirty minutes before the madness began, the manager came in with a megaphone. “Attention “Twilight” fans, I need you all to move seats closest to the center so that we can make more room.” That’s when I knew it’d be as big of a hit as discussed.

“Beauty and the Beast” proves timeless

AMBER ROLLAND – Hoof Prints Editor During the cinematic era in which filmmakers are milking the 3D cash cow for all its worth, scores of movies are being released (and re-released) with the increased ticket price but with very few increased effects to show for it. This re-release of a 1991 Disney animated classic was no exception. Luckily for “Beauty and the Beast,” it has something these other mindless movies don’t, substance. [...]

“Breaking Dawn” midnight madness

JILLIAN KEY – Hoof Prints Staff Middle-aged women wearing fangs. A row of Team Edwards doing the wave. A theater crammed full of eager-to-sparkle and wolfmode fans. It’s the midnight premiere of “Breaking Dawn.” [...]

Everybody cut loose

CLAY TURNER – Hoof Prints Staff In simplest terms I must say that “Footloose” impressed me very much. The acting was exceptional. There was never a dull moment on account of Miles Teller’s character livening up just about every scene and the entire movie portrayed the perfect small town mindset. [...]

“Colombiana” anything but good

AMBER ROLLAND – Hoof Prints Editor

“Colombiana” begins as a normal movie with a believable plot and deep, realistic characters. Then the opening credits end.

Cataleya Restrepo, played by Amandla Stenberg as a child and Zoe Saldana as a young woman, watches as her parents are murdered before her very eyes by a group [...]

“Roommate” leaves room for improvement

AMBER ROLLAND – Hoof Prints Staff There are over 2,000 colleges and over 8 million roommates. Which one will you get? After seeing “The Roommate” I certainly hope my roommate doesn’t look even remotely like Leighton Meester because if she does, I’m transferring just to be safe. It’s a precaution I’d have to take if I didn’t want to end up laughing myself to death every time I saw my roommate lurking behind me. [...]

“True Grit” is truly western

CLAY TURNER – Hoof Prints Staff “True Grit,” was, in my opinion, one of the better western movies I have seen. I was pleased with most of the components of the movie itself although I am not a western movie fan myself. [...]

New Potter film produces mixed feelings

AMBER ROLLAND – Hoof Prints Staff One of the most highly anticipated films of the year was released this month, and the Harry Potter fans turned out in droves to see “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.” Fans had been waiting for over a year to see Harry begin his quest to destroy the Horcruxes and eventually Lord Voldemort himself. I was no exception. [...]
