Good, not great.
PostedAugust 3, 2008
Good movie, a lot of heart, a lot of fluff. Costner does ok but just doesn't quite have the knack for comedy like this.
Typical political fantasy about everything being for real. No manipulators further away than the candidates right hand man.
Feel good movie about a subject that people really shouldn't feel good about. Real candidates are just a little harder to find than this movie would like us to believe.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

X-Files - Horror/Mystery
PostedJuly 26, 2008
Not bad for a basic horror/mystery genre. It doesn't play real, real well, however. Most of the blame goes the the "Scully can't accept Mulder's interest in the unknown" issue, that is so prevalent in TV episode after episode. They're older, more mature, yet playing this fake personal conflict that seems beneath both of them. The story is a bit macabre too.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better in 3d
PostedJuly 20, 2008
This is a good, simple, straight forward family film, age 6+. It is a little bland in the 2d version. See it in 3D, it's more fun and interesting. You don't see a good, wholesome film like this much anymore. It's a bit old fashioned which is great.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

More substance than flash
PostedJuly 13, 2008
Hancock was better than expected. Not just another shallow superhero blah blah action flick. This movie is about Hancock finding him self and maturing into the all around good guy.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A mixed bag
PostedJuly 5, 2008
Stylish, sometimes cleaver, fast paced, with great syncopated music, Wanted has it all. Sadistic, violent, cruel, inhuman, arrogant, vulgar, graphic, action packed excitement with some nice twists and turns. Promoting the Superman, superhuman, feel good and nothing else matters. Pick your poisons carefully and ask yourself is this really the kind of energy, the kind of life, the kind of world you want for yourself and others?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Brutally honest
PostedJuly 5, 2008
This is one of those personable films that leaves you wishing you'd never seen it. Perhaps it touches a nerve of self discovery. The more-or-less meaningless life of a hopelessly selfish, self indulged individual that predictable ends with his, failure to face himself, suicide. The film really has little redeeming quality except as a window into the 60s and 70s.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Well done
PostedJuly 5, 2008
The kind of movie that inspires you. It shows the nature of the boy, and likely, that of the man, Ghengis Khan. Little to do with his adult life and conquests, perhaps that is to come. This film delves into the young Ghengis, the time and the culture. Well acted, beautiful, rugged scenery matches the lives of the people perfectly.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Just Horrible
PostedMay 16, 2008
Not funny, just pathetic. If you liked Borat you'll love this. Same mentality, same waste of money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The best Martial Art film ever!
PostedMay 10, 2008
Not flash, but real, honest substance. Great character exploration and great acting. Easily the best Martial Arts film I've ever seen. Remotely akin to the Karate Kid in it's insights into virtue and personal development, but this film tells a greater story brilliantly. Lessons for all in the value of virtue over the selling of the soul for worldly gain. A true inspiration with undertones of the failure of modern society by character deficiency.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Satisfying for sure
PostedMay 10, 2008
Good movie. Solid, straight forward, great caste. Special effects where top quality. Almost an Indiana Jones feel to it. The ending is a bit weak, for which I market it down to a 4. Definitely an enjoyable film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
