Sunshine
Finally, a Sci-Fi adventure movie we all enjoyed! haven’t been able to say that with any conviction since the Matrix! Sunshine: If the sun dies, so do we. Is an amazingly well produced film, it has some great characters who all give stellar performances.
Cillian Murphy looks stunning on screen, this guy has a bright future. He’s already done some notable films but I think this is the role he will be remembered for. Read more
1408
If you like Stephen King, you’ll like this. Personally I got bored with a lot of King books and adaptations and 1408 was no different. I’ve always enjoyed John Cusak but in 1408 he seemed to be completely OTT. Maybe not his fault because that’s what the script called for.
1408 is a hotel room number, cursed, haunted and the ideal place to send a cynical writer of ghostly stuff. Expect lots of special effects, in my opinion already done to death in previous King type outings; and a standard twist. Read more
Mr Brooks
Slight hesitation when I realized the main character was played by Kevin Costner because most of his stuff of late has been pretty limp and insipid.
Not so Mr Brooks. You don’t want to give too much away when you review a film because it always takes away any surprise elements for the viewer, but let’s just say this is Costner in a role not seen before… Read more
Fracture
If you look close enough, you’ll find everyone has a weak spot. I am a huge Anthony Hopkins fan and have been ever since Silence of the lambs, one of my top 20 movies of all time. His role in fracture is similar to that which he plays all too often yet never seems to get old. Fracture is a very clever movie with some tantalizing twists, There is nothing better than having a movie do a 360 on you, then again, then again. Fracture does this perfectly with a fine balance of great acting, superb character development and great mind games that the viewer can really get into.
Gosling does an equally good job playing the DEA all star prosecutor, my only small peeve is the unnecessary romance subplot, completely detracts from the head-to-head whit fest that is completely entertaining and a joy to watch…. Read more
Wild Hoggs
Travolta, Macy, Allen, Liotta, Pretty amazing cast right? What on earth were these people thinking? I just don’t get it! Billed as an action / adventure comedy, this movie falls so short on all 3 descriptions. The action is predictable, the comedy is none existent and the adventure is, well, lets just say “not so adventurous.”
I find it difficult to believe how you could put these huge name stars into one movie and come out with such a terrible release. The cliché riddled, homophobic snore-fest that is Wild Hogs fails at everything it tries to accomplish. The jokes are either homosexually related or just not funny, at all…
First Born
Boy was I looking forward to this one! Lets begin with a brief plot outline; nothing actually happens. I have to admit, I only got 50 minutes into this film before turning it off and rinsing my eyes with bleach. This movie is plain awful. 50 entire minutes and no characters are developed, no story has begun, no build up, no suspense, horrible sound effects, wooden acting, hardly any dialog what so ever, long cut scenes of a dog walking around, the list is endless.
I cannot give this film a fair review as I haven’t watched it in its entirety thank God, but if the first half is anything to go by I bet I can predict its outcome… Read more
