Decent to Bad to Worse
PostedJune 6, 2010

from Los Angeles, CA
Started out mildly promising, then went to ridiculous about halfway through and then went to unintentionally laugh-out-loud horrible during the last half hour. It thought the audience was going to throw things at the screen when it ended, but we all just laughed hysterically and left shaking our heads wondering why things like this still get made. Don't even rent the DVD. Pray the sequel doesn't get made (even direct-to-DVD). It's THAT bad.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Streep is Oscar-Worthy AGAIN
PostedAugust 10, 2009

This is an enjoyable way to spend 2 hours in the middle of the heat of summer. Meryl Streep completely transforms herself yet again from The Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia to creating Julia Child in this delightful movie. Not to take anything away from Amy Adams. Her character and its parallel to the Julia universe comes into her own eventually. But it's Streep that everyone will remember once it ends. And Stanley Tucci, yet again paired with Streep (Prada) who is excellent as Julia's husband.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

AMAZING IMAX EXPERIENCE
PostedJuly 23, 2008

I guess it's my turn to add to the critical raves regarding THE DARK KNIGHT. Specifically, though, seeing it in an IMAX Theatre brings the rave review to a whole new level. The scenes that were filmed using the IMAX camera system are incredible. It's one of the greatest adaptations of a comic-book ever, but when you see it in IMAX, it really elevates the whole experience to another level. It's definitely worth going out of your way to find an IMAX Theatre to ese THE DARK KNIGHT. I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Nothing Happens

You know when you sit through a movie with a running time of 90 minutes and it feels longer than three hours, there's a problem. The biggest problem with this one is NOTHING HAPPENS. After the initial "set up" of people killing themselves, the rest of the movie is spent watching people running away from "something" which turns out to be the wind. Huh? And then when it's over, all I kept thinking was that when those movie studio executives had a chance to watch M. Night's latest mis-fire, they must have realized what a mistake they made giving this guy some money to make this ridiculously boring and bad movie. So far, it's the worst movie of the summer.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Big Panda Fun
PostedJune 15, 2008

No matter what age you are, you'll enjoy Kung Fu Panda. Jack Black is perfect for the role as the loveable panda with an obsession for everything kung fu. Very funny. You'll laugh all the way through. The digital animation is amazing and so full of rich detail. All the supporting cast have some amusing and funny parts but it's really Jack Black's panda that makes this movie stand out.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Too Long, Too Much Talking
PostedMay 10, 2008

from Los Angeles, CA
I really wanted to like this movie. I'm a big fan of the old TV show and grew up with it. All the familiar characters are there and so is the theme music and the car. But the movie gets so bogged down with so much overly complicated big corporate plot points in between the martial arts action and the races, it gets boring. It's WAY TOO LONG. Even the races gets boring after a while. It feels like watching someone play a PS3 video game on an IMAX screen and you've been watching way too long and they won't let you take a turn to play.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
