Involuntary 11am @ the Forum
Kyle''s review based on the title alone: A new twist on your classic teen gross out flick.
Bobby Sherwood has a problem; a BIG problem! And it sees him get into more than
one sticky situation! It’s like American Pie…but he’s gonna need a bigger pie!
3/5 involuntary erections.
According to MIFF: "A man injured at his own party chooses to soldier on rather than ruin
the night for everyone else; a group of teenage girls pout, preen and
flirt, pushing one another further in social and sexual games; a
schoolteacher carries out a psychological experiment on her class to
illustrate the power of peer pressure; and, at a drunken reunion, a
young man exploits his mates' willingness to go with the flow to take
advantage of another friend. Involuntary raises questions about conformity and the power of a group over the individual."
What DeeDee thought: This was a yet another schedule filler that I ended up really enjoying. The scene with the guy & the flagpole though...I'm very grateful that it didn't, ah, go in. Breath holder, that one (you, you don't need to know any more).
Take the Money and Run 1:30pm @ the Forum
Kyle's review based on the title alone: Danny DeVito is a small town fraudster who happens
upon a scheme that’ll earn him enough money to retire for good. However he
didn’t count on his conscience catching up with him. Funny, but I think it
should’ve been a little shorter. 3/5 penguins.
According to IMDB: "The life and times of Virgil Starkwell, inept bank robber."
What DeeDee thought: Holy shit, I thoroughly enjoyed a Woody Allen movie! Usual routine is wanting to rip my eyeballs out. But this was rather good.
Dark Horse 4pm @ the Forum
Kyle's review based on the title alone: A touching tale of an eight year old leukemia patient
and her best friend, her pet horse Moonshadow. This heart warming tale will
remind us all that there’s still a little magic left in this world…you just
have to know where to look. Is this the same horse that acted in the movie Zoo?
1/5 Erms…
According to IMDB: "Romance blooms between two thirty-somethings in arrested development: an
avid toy collector who is the dark horse of her family and a depressed
woman on the rebound."
What DeeDee thought: Welcome to the Dollhouse & Happiness remain the only Todd Solondz movies that I like. Enjoyed the first half, didn't enjoy the intentional mess that it became in the second. Bummer.
Note: My 6:30pm movie, Into The Abyss, was cancelled. Frig, mega frig, as it's one I was really looking forward to. The only other movies that I wanted to see in this slot were either sold out, or I was already scheduled to see them on another day.

Kyle's review based on the title alone: An attempt to portray Anonymous as a legion of
internet based Hacktivists. It starts with a bang, but then just ends up being
about memes & 4chan. 2/5 /b/s.
According to IMDB: "A documentary on the workings and beliefs of the self-described "hacktivist" collective, Anonymous."
What DeeDee thought: Well, the title was a complete giveaway, but Kyle pretty much got it right, except that the 4chan stuff is all at the start (and completely freakin' hilarious). A nice watch, but felt a little one-sided & glowy.
