Not bad
PostedMarch 16, 2011
A decent movie that reminds me of the matrix. There are powers that be, but you can fight them if you desire. Free will is not an illusion after all.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Shaky camera
PostedMarch 11, 2011
Great performance by Aaron Eckhart. The camera is quite shaky for most of the film, and Eckhart gets quite a bit of screen time. He plays a battle hardened veteran who has to take orders from a younger guy, but soldier's up and does what he is told until the time to prove himself the leader. There are quite a few scenes that could have been cut out, and you will question their necessity in this very long film.
A lot of the movie plays out like a real CNN news story which does a good job of drawing you in. Plenty of action, bullets, and drama in this one. Loved it.
Pretty good sci-fi movie here.

Filmed in 2007
PostedMarch 9, 2011
Why was a movie filmed in 2007 just now released? No idea, but there isn't much here beyond the typical 80's nostalgia.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Just OK
PostedMarch 9, 2011
Turns out that Hall Pass may be more for the ladies than for the men. Thin plot with "SNL quality" drawn out action. Not much here.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Not sure why 3D
PostedMarch 2, 2011
3D wasn't necessary.
A good violent shoot em up. Nothing much more I can say about this one. The story was pretty lame, but Cage delivered as usual.

Spy games
PostedFebruary 24, 2011
This is much like "The Bourne identity" and "Taken".
Pretty basic stuff here. Car chases, guns, explosions, and spy games.
If you like Neeson in Taken, then I see no reason why you wouldn't like this movie. Its better than the current film competition.

Don't take your hearing for granted
PostedFebruary 18, 2011
This film shows the struggles of not only deaf people in general, but the life of entertaining that they have chosen. What they do is very difficult - even for people with perfect hearing, so these people actually have more hurdles than those that already exist. We forget that not all people have fully functioning senses, so people can be pretty ignorant about deaf people.
Good story of perseverance.

Made for TV?
PostedFebruary 9, 2011
Like most people say, this film is a lot like "Single White Female". There are recycled sabotage techniques used by the villain as seen in such films as, "Obsessed" and "The Crush".
It has the feel of a cheap "made for TV" movie. It follows the same formula as the above mentioned films and doesn't add anything new. Girl meets girl, girl likes girl and wants to be best friends, 6 or 7 sabotage tactics followed by the final standoff.
I sat through this so you don't have to.

Poseidon Adventure (X2)
PostedFebruary 4, 2011
A great movie with lots of great 3D action. The movie is short for a Cameron film, so it wastes no time in jumping into the action. The leader of the crew, who looks like a Lance Armstrong clone, is dead set on exploring this unknown cavern. Setbacks happen, and the crew has to try to escape to safety. I won't spoil it for you, but I will tell you I would have paid twice the price of admission for the amount of awesomeness you get in this film.
It reminded me a bit of "The Poseidon Adventure".
One disaster after another strikes the crew, and the acting from the relative unknowns is pretty awesome. Some scenes are pretty gristly, so I do not recommend taking anyone younger than 13/15 to see this. This is the real True Grit...
The only drawback is that the plot is based on a daring adventure that only the foolish would seem to want to jump into in the first place. I found myself questioning why they were even there to begin with.
Definitely see this in 3D.

Amazing story about human spirit
PostedFebruary 3, 2011
Ed Harris and Colin Farrell are really great in this film.
The extreme hardships that the people portrayed in this film had to endure will blow your mind. It will make you walk out of the theater feeling pretty good about living in civilization and you can eat and drink pretty much anything, anytime you want, anywhere you want to. Our lives are, and probably always will be, a cakewalk in comparison.
It may be depressing to most, but I think this was a feel-good movie.
