Scarlet Johannsen is lovely, fast cars, it's all there. It's just that
there's nothing to tie it all together.The right things in awful proportions makes this a very disappointing
film. The cast is great, don't get me wrong, but they need to just *do*

Turns out, that Sylvester Stallone obviously did get serious brain
damage when repeatedly hit by Dolph Lundgreen and other bad guys in the
ROCKY movies!This is the only explanation for the brain-hurting movie "The
Expendables". It does start bad, then it get worse and then it still
manages to dissolve in stupidity. From time to time, this failed

I was at the World premiere in London and I was apprehensive about
watching a film adaptation of a book as some of them work and others
don't. This one definitely does. From the first minutes of the film,
you know that you're in for a thrilling adventure. Alex Rider, played
superbly by Alex Pettyfer, is very believable as a school kid thrown
into the deep end by Bill Ni...

My reaction to Domino is about as mixed as the mixed race flowchart
that Mo'Nique presents on The Jerry Springer Show during the movie (I
know, that doesn't make much sense unless you've seen the movie). I
dare you to not laugh once she starts introducing terms such as
Blacktino, Chinegro, and Japanic. I suppose if you suck at the teat of
political correctness then you might no...

and emotional roles to date, and the rest of the cast perform
beautifully. Christopher Walken is of course superb in his part
although he did not appear as often as I wou...

strong
a plotline as El Mariachi and Desperado, I wholeheartedly disagree.Both El Mariachi & Desperado had rather thin plots with interesting
characters and set pieces. While Once upon... hasnt got the same indepth
characters as the first 2, it does have a couple of interesting ones. But

This movie is a realistic portrayal of the meth lifestyle, not because
it's a realistic movie, but because it's a bunch of tweakers very busy
doing nothing. My friend and I laughed during the whole movie because
we both knew people who fit the characters in the film perfectly. If
you don't know anyone into drugs this movie probably won't appeal to
you. The moviemakers get a lot...

For some unknown reason, the industry 'suits' have decided to black-list
Sylvester Stallone, not giving him large leading roles, and when they give
him a role, they refuse to heavily market his films. This trend started, I
believe, sometime during the early 90s, probably after his last big hit,
"Cliffhanger." Nevertheless, Stallone has continued to make films, most of
them ac...

scripted
by this films writer/director/producer Skip Woods) this is a good film. It
ranks very high up there in my crime flick list among Lock Stock & Two
Smoking Barrels, Pulp Fiction and Snatch. Basically I think this film is

me what Reservoir Dogs was for many people - a cult classic - although I

The script for Double Team was originally called "The Colony" and by
several
accounts, it was actually quite good. Apparently, it went through many
major
alterations on its way to production until the final product bore little
resemblance in tone and quality to the original script. Does this mean
Double Team is a disaster? Not really, but its clear all the changes

This, in my opinion, is one of Rourke's greatest roles. It's infinitely
sad that Americans prefer movies which tend to resemble fairy tales
instead of those which reflect real life's hardships. Bullet, superbly
directed and acted out with a profundity which we rarely witness in
movies of this genre, had been treated with utter injustice for it was
released directly to video. It...

Here is another modern-day film-noir, featuring interesting characters
played by a diverse cast. That cast is led by Willem Dafoe, who reminds
me a lot of another noir actor, Dan Duryea.There is the usual corrupt government/military officials angle but the
plot does have a few neat twists and is generally a non-nonsense kind
of story. However, I did find the storyline a bit confusi...

haven't met for years, they know where the other one is and when they come

liked the stark and unusual visuals, and I liked most of the story, but

that 'Rumble Fish' is particularly deep, just that in college I wasn't.

A modern remake of the 1940s film, "Double Indemnity," this movie has a
solid, large fan base of its own. That's justifiable, too, because this
is well done.It sports a 1940s-type film noir soundtrack but the rest is purely
1980s. By that, I mainly mean nudity and profanity, although the
language isn't that offensive.Kathleen Turner plays a femme fatale, similar to Barbara Stanwyck...
