Renews the series despite...
PostedJune 15, 2011
Despite some undeveloped characters, the yarn "prequels" well. Not sure what a continuation and development of these characters would mean, though my guess it'd be more fun than jumping forward.
And more cameos, please!
The movie is fun:)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The New 'Stand By Me'
PostedJune 14, 2011
Iconic Americana, complete with pathos, loyalty, budding sexuality, adventure, and much more... And, ah, the simple pleasures... remember this when you see kids playing on Independence Day during the fireworks displays and backyard celebrations.
Things change; things don't change. Enjoy the movie as movies were meant to be enjoyed. hugs to all, sky

Well...
PostedMay 24, 2011
Perhaps it was my mood or too high expectations. I wasn't tired but my mind wandered frequently, especially during fight scenes.
Love looking at the players as they are all faves, but didn't connect much with the characters or the story.
LOVED the piranhas [oops - spoiler] and LOVED the ropes.
If you like the franchise, go and enjoy:) Cheers!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

If by chick flick, you mean...
PostedMay 16, 2011
Brides Maids is an actual, real, objective, and true chick flick. Finally, the "chick flick" is defined. Plus, it was about time for an R rated movie with oral, aural, and visual gags shared by real women, probably throughout history.
Sweet, rowdy, poignant, rude, engaging, fully drawn and much more... Enjoy!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Big Adorable Lug - Pop & Popcorn Entertainment
PostedMay 12, 2011
Refreshed and updated, the mythic old and silly stories make for a throwback-to-the-50's type movie experience.
Go enjoy a well done relapse to the illusion of calmer times...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

FAST FIVE FUN
PostedMay 1, 2011
More like Fast Fifty Fun...big cast... Choreographed mayhem with innocents nearly missing death, the bad and good guys getting their due. Humor, romance pathos... actors and doubles were amazing in the chase, gun, and fight scenes.
A little loud in the IMAX version at times, but then it's an action film; think it's because I'm a little old.
Oh, and do watch it through to the end:)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Feast of Extremes
PostedApril 25, 2011
An apt analogy for today's all and nothing economic and political positions, Atlas "didn't" Shrug. Good on 'em for the entirely credible cinema. Low budget? Again, good on 'em and good job. Cast performances were well drawn and well done. Sophomoric? So what...
It'd be excellent to have a Part II. Ideas for resolution of classic issues is welcome.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wild premise -
PostedApril 18, 2011
The film's cinematography is lovely and the sound is masterful. That said, keeping the old science fiction premise slightly hidden was smart.
Another plus is the humor. Fair movie character consequences as well, meaning the good/bad die/live parameter.
Heavy on the running around, film Hanna is a visual treat - not so, however, for the story itself.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Pox on Negative Reviews
PostedApril 11, 2011
Negative reviews are from movie snobs! This was a lovely update, which will allow young people to enjoy the story. It mercifully lacked the maniacal laughter that was so annoying in the original. It was fun and sweet and, at times, poignant, with balanced performances from all - definitely to be enjoyed:)
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Yearning for a Nice World
PostedApril 4, 2011
Overlooking the new ubiquitous cityscape shots, the old sci-fi premise serves the story well. Also overlooking the elastic stretch of the quantum physics, a satisfying puzzle emerges that repeated on me when the film was done.
Fast and well-acted, with humor bits, Source Code is a credible addition to its genre.

Ah, but then there's that yearning for a nicer world that seems to be cropping up everywhere...
Yes, I recommend this movie.
