I can be a forgiving fellow when it comes to most movies but some are
simply awfully written, directed and acted. This movie is pure and
utter drivel with a silly story, one layer characters and crappy
assumptions on life. The gags are awful, the sense of contrived
storyline, sexist plot.....You know. I just cant write any more about
it because it hurts to think about it.D...

I don't understand the low rating (4.9) up to date. I really liked it,
not to mention my 3yo daughter. I was really curious to see the sequel
after TB1 was highly satisfactory for the whole family. I watched it
about a couple of dozen times with the little one. Now this new DVD
would experience the hard times the first one did until now... but I

Hugh Jackman had a great time as host of this year's Academy awards,
and so did we. His joy was infectious. The staging and set up is
probably one of the best I've seen in all my years of watching these
shows. The pre-show done by Jackman and Anne Hathaway was passable, but
the whole production came across as so real and human, it astounded us.

Saw this movie today (9/26/08) with my young nieces at a special El
Capitan Theatre preview in Los Angeles. We were all delighted by Tink's
excellent backstory, the ingenious story and the handsomely rendered
3-D animation. Cast is uniformly excellent, including Lucy Liu, Kristen
Chenoweth and Anjelica Houston. This was much better than some of the

As of writing, Choke has not yet been given official distribution, and
will not get it for about another month and a half at least (depending
on your location). However, I managed to see it at the annual local
film festival. I'll bring this review up when the film gets a wider
release, but for now here is my initial opinion.Choke is the story of sex-addicted loser Victor Mancin...

This is a film occupied with moments. Wonderful moments. It is not so
much concerned with mechanics of plot but for me, it never got dull.
Wes Anderson has matured in subtle ways and this film is a well crafted
blend of the personal and the pageantry - Powell and Pressburger and
Cassavetes. "The Rules of the Game" and "Husbands." "The Last Detail"
and "The River."The "spiritual...

I think you're going to see some very mixed reviews for this film. The
tragedy is that it's going to be picked up primarily by fans of
westerns, who are looking for shootouts and plots that can be boiled
down to "good guys" and "bad guys." Do not go into this movie expecting
that.This is ultimately a revenge story, but not a straightforward or
clean-cut one; in this way...

I was 100% disappointed with this movie. I am usually a fan of the
cheesy girlie movies, and Hilary Duff. Unfortunately the acting in this
movie was not there. It seemed more like a movie done between the Duff
sisters for fun. You could tell they were acting, not very believable.
I'm one of the people who don't normally notice these things too! The

going to do fantastic things with his career. So far he's proved me

Although one person I was with at the pre-screen hated it, I absolutely
loved it. I think it will just be one of those kinds of films (but hey,
I also loved "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" which this reminded
me of). Pure crazy fantastical stuff and I was completely taken with
it.It's a visually beautiful film with loads of odd little CG touches and
subtle visual gags. The...

I've seen this movie a couple of times and I'm feeling rather mixed
about it. On one level I have a new kind of respect for Eddie, seeing
him in a nice family movie that I can show my baby cousins and still
laugh at myself. However I also know that we've passed the point of no
return on this one, we will never again see the strong 80's Eddie that
we once loved. I suppose we sho...

1st watched 10/19/2002 - 6 out of 10(Dir-Owen Hurley):
Surprisingly well-done Barbie fluff. What impressed me the most about
this
made-for-video computer animated movie was the obvious time and attention
that was put into the story, animation, and character development despite
the usual bland Barbie stuff created by Mattel. The animation isn't

I loved this film.The Tenenbaum's dysfunction (while amplified for the screen) is quite
an accurate portrayal of family life. Families are, essentially, groups
of people living in each other's pockets, and, invariably, those people
who love you and hate you the most.Don't get me wrong, Royal and his (thermo)nuclear family of brilliant
buffoons do not represent my family (or any oth...

to Guinevere, Morgana (aka Morgaine), and the Lady of the Lake's arm in most

I think some of the others who commented on this movie were too
harsh...it's
not meant to be a human drama of great proportions. It's simply a fun,
fairy tale that is a feel good movie. It's not made to make you think
about
the social plight of widowed Irish mothers in the 1960's...it's made to
give
you a good laugh and to leave a smile on your face.And that it did. ...

knew anything about boxing. The coach put us both in the ring and said,

This movie clearly has a small budget, looks cheap, and isn't very serious.
Fortunately, that is exactly what the film makers were going for. I enjoy

Angelica Houston. Heck, John Carradine even has a small role in it, though
