"Wolfman" is a DOG !!
PostedFebruary 22, 2010
The reason to Remake a movie is to improve on it, which makes this attempt a complete FAILURE. If you only care about blood & gore you may like it. If you actually want a story, great actors used to their full potential or a wolfman costume that doesn't look like the original movie mask just in color; then avoid this movie at all cost. My favorite bad part is the "Shirts & Skins" final battle were 1 wolf rips off his shirt so us dumb folk can tell them apart. Talk about playing down to your audience.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Is it Over Yet ?
PostedFebruary 22, 2010
Is all I could think waiting for the final over-telegraphed twist of this droll movie. From opening with a terrible score always over~the~top of its associated scene, to a tattered web of dare I say intrigue of irrelevance. Made so as even if you don't catch all the land mine clues, the average person knows the outcome of the movie, before you get to the twist. Maybe if I didn't have to sit thru an extra 45 min tacked onto a 90 min film I'd have been more gracious. When you add on sequences for the sole point of dragging out what you think is suspense (which isn't if we know what going on) your just being annoying. I love Ben Kingsley & Max Von Sydow {who's part was non-existent, what a waste of his talent}, but NOT this film.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Pure Imagination Made Real
PostedDecember 20, 2009
If Michael Angelo had been born in our Century, "Avatar" would have been his "Sistine Chapel". Yes to those who will call the plot less than original, they're not entirely wrong; but then so are all the movies coming out now a days. The difference is the utter limitless imagination, patience & skill to create a movie that's one beautiful tapestry of color & flowing visual emotion one scene after the other. If your not completely impressed & wondering how they could make such a picture, then your simply determined to be unhappy under a rainbow.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Style without Substance
PostedJanuary 2, 2009
The studio is selling the movie on the shooting style of Frank Miller, but unlike Sin City, there's no depth of character & the story is Chooppyyy. While I understood the humor, i think most won't & if they didn't have sexy women placed everywhere it would have no redeeming value at all.... PS this is not a date movie, WOMEN WILL NOT LIKE IT!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Speed Racer, drives Straight 7 True
PostedMay 11, 2008
first the 5 Star rating os for your kids, for adults its really a low 4 star, but this movie is all about the kids. only 1 word of profanity in the whole movie, the fight scene are on the steered to the comical side. The writers have kept the story line as close to the original cartoon, we adults remember, as possible. Bottom line a risk free FAMILY movie for the summer
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Finally a non-corny, believable comic book movie
PostedMay 4, 2008
This is Marvel's best real life conversion since the original Spiderman. You can believe what you see (having to blink your eyes only a couple times), there's plenty of humor throughout the film & for the most part the dialog isn't all ham'd up. There is some level of predictability, but considering the laundry list of junk Marvel's put out lately; (Daredevil, Electra, Spiderman 3). Ironman by far hits the mark.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

laugh machine
PostedApril 20, 2008
Jason Segel's movie is relentless, he picks on all sides of relationships woes evenly letting no one of the hook, yet you don't notice the schooling while your laughing thru about 70% of the film. (Movie IS NOT for young kids) but any adult with a healthy sense of humor will not be disappointed
Yes, I recommend this movie.
