Let me start off by saying that I am NOT a fan of Tyler Perry's past
movies, television shows, or plays. They are not funny and over the
top. Just not my cup of tea. However, I thoroughly found this movie
worth the $10.50 I paid to see it on opening night. Some of the other
reviews were surprising. At no point did I feel the movie to be slow.

They had all the money, actors and special effects they needed so how
did they manage to screw this one up? Obviously they thought exiting
moments were more important than developing deeper characters and
that's why this story that had great potential stayed so shallow. The

Hmmmmmm. Well firstly, this is definitely a film directed by an
American. The sickeningly sugar coated view of life in London could
only really be portrayed so naively by someone who wasn't bought up
here. The friendly cup cake shop on the corner of the pretty
litter-free street is a prime example of this. However, moan over, Run

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Guy Ritchie's mockney
gangster films. I don't know what it is. I know that they're not very
profound and have nothing to say, I know that they're a pure fantasy
vision of British crime and I know that if you've seen Lock Stock,
you've pretty much seen them all. And yet, as Ritchie returns for a
third iteration ...

This is a very good movie, but not the classic it wants to be. It's
funny and tragic, although not too informative if you've read a
newspaper with any regularity over the last eight years. In short,
there are no surprises.Josh Brolin gives an excellent performance as W., and the supporting
cast is generally superb, although Jeffrey Wright, Richard Dreyfuss,
and James Cr...

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People looked like it might be
different to the average rom-com we get these days, it looked like it
was going to be a smart and satirical look at mainstream Hollywood. It
isn't and it wasn't. It's in exactly the same vein as Run Fat Boy Run.
I'm not saying that it's a bad film because it isn't and neither is Run

First let me say ... I am an Eddie Murphy fan. I think he's a comic
genius. And that's why I was so surprised to see him star in and even
write such a low level and offensive comedy.The first few minutes of the film started out with a little promise,
but it didn't take long for the film to fall to such a low level that I
cringed from early in until the movie was over. A...

Occasionally when editors send reviewers a list of new and upcoming
films, a kind a war-weariness can set in: even more so when one's gut
feeling suggests an obvious divide between worthwhile cinema and the
barrage of rather missable comedy. Even more so when a film in question
has not risked journalistic censure by having an advance press
screening. I am not one of the man...

Here's the deal: It's real, it's heavy, and it's inspirational, but NOT
AT ALL cheesy. Don't like that? Don't see it. I won't say much else. I
will say that Will Smith was shockingly good now that he's paid his
dues with "Men in Black" and "Bad Boys."I was very happy that this film never got political and blamed Reagan
for the number of "down on thei...

This is one weird rating from all the fine subscribers to IMDb. For the
first time in, my albeit limited experience, the previously flawless
rating system has, in my opinion, got it way wrong.This movie is almost superb. Kind of LOTR meets Star Wars, with more
humour (intentional British spelling by the way).The direction, special effects, plot, music, screenplay, cast
performance,...

I work at Blockbuster so it's fair to say I have seen my fair share of
movies and to be honest in the last 3 years...nothing has really caught
my eye and made me sit and enjoy watching the same movie over and over
again.One thing I notice to is we get a lot of 'sleepers' or straight to DVD
titles and often those are the better of the movies. Shade was one of
them, this movie ha...

Mystery films come and go; a precious few stand the test of time. "Charade,'
for my money the greatest whodunit ever made, is a masterpiece of tone,
miraculously blending the disparate elements of suspense, humor and romance
more successfully than any film I've ever seen. Enhanced by the dashing
beauty and charisma of its two stars, Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, the
sophistica...

Mission: Impossible was a fast paced espionage thriller that actually
made you think, which is what I like in a movie. Since John Woo, who is
one of the kings of the action genre, took over for Brian De Palma, you
can expect Mission: Impossible II to be an intense action movie with a
majorly dumbed down plot. Everything to do with the plot is laid out
for us basically right awa...

Rhythm is the key of this superb movie, the elapse is basically an endless
chase that keeps you awake all through the movie.
Besides the whole atmosphere is very cool the decadence of the junkie world
has a glamour of its own, mostly when it's magnificent represented by Tim
Roth (the acid James Cagney) and Tupac Shakur who really shows us his acting
skills here. You gonna love ...

Someone said that this movie was too cerebral for horror fans who live for
drivel like "From Dusk 'Till Dawn", and too much of a horror movie for
people who look (or at least pretend to look) for meaning in movies --
pseudo-intellectuals. That person couldn't have been more correct. I'm not
a
horror fan, I'm not an Anne Rice fan...I'm not even fond of Tom Cruise,
