I just saw G.I. Joe, and I must say that I actually enjoyed it. This is
NOT a masterpiece. This is a fun, Summer action flick. The so-called
professional critics who obviously miss that point do not deserve their
cushy jobs. The action is unbelievable, non-stop, breathless, and
requires a total suspension of disbelief. The critics that have a
problem with that should remember o...

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, let's not pretend
Eagle eye was particularly original. It was essentially a warmed over
version of Enemy Of The State which was probably based on some other
movie I've never seen. Basically what you've got is you're super
paranoid information state super computer run amok strategy here. And

We went to this movie with my two kids (ages 7 and 10, both girls), my
Brother-in-law and his wife and their two kids (ages six and nine, both
boys.) We were a bit apprehensive about this due to the poor critics
ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. (Frankly, the critics gave it abysmal
ratings and I almost avoided this entirely because of those ratings.)
And perhaps they were right. But...

I registered on IMDb simply so I could share my appreciation of this
marvellous production.The three main characters were performed to perfection by the brilliant
cast. Thank you for bringing this wonderful play to our screens. Good
in all things except perhaps the extent to which it felt more like a
stage production than a televisual one.Paddy Considine particularly was spellbindi...

(contains spoilers... but trust me, that won't matter).it's safe to say that Johnny Depp single-handily made the 'pirate'
series a success. if not for Depp telling interviewers Keith Richards
inspired his captain jack-isms, Keith Richards would certainly not have
appeared in the 3rd movie. in between the excessive amount of canon
balls/sword fights scenes, i couldn&...

As a sequel, it had much to live up to the glory of the first film, and
personally, I thought it had done rather well. The special effects on
Bill Nighy (Davey Jones) and his pirate crew was perhaps the best; it
was very realistic. The movie had a bit of a slow start, but overall
was a wonderful film. Johnny Depp did well in his portrayal of Captain
Jack Sparrow, as previously ...

If I weren't writing a review of Renaissance right now, I probably
wouldn't remember it tomorrow. I realize that a lot of care went into
the animation (or is it rotoscoping?) of this movie that blends
film-noir and sci-fi into a slick story about a company in the future
that can provide ageless beauty, and the one guy around played by
Daniel Craig who thinks something...

Directors Fulton and Pepe get full marks for the rare feat of making a

seat to the story and characters.The film is very deftly crafted, especially considering the subject

music promoter who wants to make them into pop stars. (The mind boggles<...

I am nearly fifty years old. A sober grown man. With children. Children
with whom I have now sat through hundreds of movies. Many of which I
have enjoyed. And I am not completely hardened in my sophistication.
The opening music to The Lion King brought tears to my eyes when my
little ones were but wee tots. But still, these are after all just
children's movies. In another life,...

I was expecting a really bad, boring teen film like the Lizzie Mcguire
movie, but this movie was entertaining. It's about a girl in America,
Daphne, who goes to England to see her dad for the first time. He's a Lord,
who is running for political elections, so of course, his handlers don't
want any bad publicity. He takes a liking to her, but his finance and

John Frankenheimer didn't have a lot of credibility in his last few
years. His final film was the rather crap Reindeer Games, with Ben
Affleck, and in 1996 he gave us the utterly terrible Island Of Doctor
Moreau. However, he did do Ronin in 1998, which makes up for absolutely
everything.It is a detachment from glossy, MTV-directed, Hollywood action movies.

As a Lloyd Webber fan, I was thrilled to hear 'Evita' being made into a

it, but to look at the rating and reviews on IMDb and watch it on

enjoyed this movie. As for people saying that this is the worst
animated movie ever, sorry I cannot agree. Doog...

I have read a lot of understandably negative reviews of the movie
'Brazil.'
Brazil(in its proper form) is a long film at well over two hours, it has
many cutaways to dream sequences that are only loosely related to the
rest
of the film, and the narrative story is not always the driving force of
the
film which many people find confusing. With all these things going
