Dark & Foretelling
PostedJuly 24, 2009
I have never read any of the HP books, and have enjoyed discovering the story through each movie. This installment finally revealed something that I thought all along, and I can definitely see now how things will end up. From the "Phoenix" to now and I'm sure until the end, the films have become progressively darker and I like that. I also enjoy how the characters are growing up and the writers and actors have truly captured the essence of adolescence. The psychological symbolism is always so amazingly accurate. Every time I see one of the films I never want them to end. Until next time...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

No Value, Just a Shock-fest
PostedJuly 24, 2009
I can see how the intent was to make all of the homophobes look like idiots, but SBC seemed more like the idiot in this film. This movie is a jaw-dropping shock-fest and I am AMAZED that it is rated-R. I have no idea how it slid through without a NC-17 rating! It really should've been NC-17, because no one needs to drag their kids into this film. I love SBC's ideas, but I can not recommend this movie to anyone. If you want to see lewd behavior and lots of male nudity then go for it, but don't say I didn't warn you. You will walk out of this film feeling slightly yucky, violated, confused, and disappointed.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

More Action, Less Dialogue
PostedJuly 10, 2009
Hooray for another Transformers movie! I definitely think the attempt with this film was bigger, better than the first. Although I thorough enjoyed the film from start to finish, I did not feel that the story was as good as the first film. There was a lot less dialogue and a lot more action. I've said this about other movies recently too, it was too loud and war-like. One thing that I did enjoy more than the first one, of which stood out much more in this one, was the metaphysical aspects. I never realized there were so many underlying elements of that. I would go so far as to say it is probably on the same scale as He-Man & Harry Potter with that. Fun movie though; you'll enjoy it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Unrelatable Reality For Me
PostedJune 21, 2009
This movie was not bad by any means, but I found the humor and story very unrealistic and unrelatable. I have never been drunk or hungover so I found the story to be too far-fetched, yet it seemed to have been written in the light of it possibly being factual like people can get that messed up and live to tell about it in a humorous way. There was nothing charming about any of the main characters, and I thought some parts seemed too unscripted and flawed. At times for only a 90-minute movie it felt like it just kept going on and on. The funny guy and scenes for me were those with the guy from "Role Models", Ken Jeong. Without the energy of the audience I don't think I would have enjoyed any of this film.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Bale was Stale, Sam was Worth It!
PostedJune 14, 2009
I thought the story was a good new twist to these series of movies, but I felt something was lacking just a little bit. I wonder if maybe they made it a bit edgier and gave it an 'R' rating if that would've done it for me, but I'm not sure. One thing I didn't like as much was all of the battling, which was 'war movie' reminiscent. So far my favorite is still Terminator 2. I did not enjoy Christian Bale's performance at all, but I loved Sam Worthington's charm. I can't wait to see him in “Clash of the Titans”. Unless you are a big in-theater person and a fan of Terminator, I'd wait for the DVD. You'll be entertained, but you will feel like you could've waited for the DVD.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Drag me back to see it again!
PostedJune 14, 2009
This movie really exceeded my expectations! It was scary, campy and funny all rolled into one! Another thing that made this movie entertaining was the music and sequencing. It really made the scenes grab you and make you jump out of your seat. You'll laugh, cringe in disgust, jump, talk out loud and be terrified all at the same time. I wish they made more movies like this.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good but should be rated R
PostedMay 23, 2009
This movie is slap-stick comedy at its best as only the Wayans can deliver. However, I felt that it should have pushed the envelope a little further and got an 'R' rating. It is nice to see they are passing the torch on to their kids, as D. Wayans Jr. did a good job. The only thing I disapproved of was the blow to Brandy. That was a very sensitive situation which has almost ruined her career. She didn't deserve that diss. But the film is laugh-out-loud funny. If a friend asked me to see it again I would.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This Puts Star Trek on the Map
PostedMay 15, 2009
WOW-E-WOW! Was this film excellent or what?! Where do I begin? The story was awesome and these bunch of actors really deliver! There were times when the picture/camera seemed a little shaky which made me a little dizzy, but the movie is so action packed most people may not even notice it. I can't wait to see the next installment with this cast.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Logan Has a Life Story
PostedMay 15, 2009
What I enjoyed the most about this X-Men film is the fact that I could finally put some pieces together about Logan. I really enjoyed the story and the acting of course. Hugh Jackman does such an awesome job as Wolverine. I also enjoyed Liev. This one is my new favorite tied with the last one. A must see for any sci-fi/action fan.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The voices are better than the visual
PostedMay 15, 2009
This is such a LOUD movie! If I were going to take a kid to see it I would be more concerned that their hearing would be damaged! The subject matter was a little too adult, but aren't most animated movies going in that direction these days?! Honestly, the only thing I enjoyed about this movie was the actor's voices. The 3D didn't even save it for me. I just really did not like the story at all. Some parts were cute hence the two stars, but that's all I can give it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
