Hey! Here's an idea...
PostedMarch 27, 2008
Quit making a movie every week and wait for one that might actually be worth watching. Sitting through Ferrell's long line of ever-the-same 'comedies' makes me wonder why he just doesn't get a TV show, put all of the overextended bore fests into half hour slots and save the public the extra theatre seats. Oh yeah...money. Really, Will. You could not have read this script and thought, "That'll make intellegent people laugh!" Your immature crowd of fans is growing up. Take a hint. Do the same.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Geriatric Genocide.
PostedMarch 27, 2008
This is why you go to a Rambo movie. What you are expecing by way of fighting, blood, horror scenes, etc., you will receive three times over. If this is your first Rambo fix, you probably think the violence, blood, body parts, and mass mutilations are a bit much. But for Rambo fans, this is the culmination of all anticipated revenge. Best Rambo yet.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Rank Job.
PostedMarch 27, 2008
Way too much nudity for a bungling robber movie. Every time the plot began to shine, another nude distraction waved her wannabes for the camera. It was like trying to watch a soccor game with streakers interupting twice an inning. The characters were semi-developed and the plot cute but nowhere near original. Wait for the DVD and practice using the fast forward button.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Relax and enjoy.
PostedMarch 27, 2008
After reading the negative reviews I almost decided to pass on this one. I would have missed an enjoyable couple of hours. Although not one of the years strongest films, there was a certain degree of irony (my main passion for seeing a movie) and the family tension was therapeutically engrossing. In other words, I found myself thinking how messed up this family was and reflected on my own. Eric Bana has set up a niche for himself that I hope he uses again and again. He seems to have been born for the part. Each sister held an endearing quality and a warning sign. The supporting actors were brilliant. They held the movie together. All in all, I may even watch it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Karate Kid Pt 4:
PostedMarch 21, 2008
Take 90% of the plot from Karate Kid, train actors to do B level matial arts and you get Never Back Down. With thousands of Mixed Martial Artists in the country I expected more realistic fights. Why Randy Couture wasn't chosen for the lead I don't know. His acting is strong and he is a UFC world champ. Then a great finale to tie up loose ends would have been Couture kicking the antagonist's father's butt around the street for another good fight scene. For teens looking for a quick rush, I think the movie does it's job. But for the theatre full of UFC fans hoping that their sport finally got some recognition, it was disappointing. There was only a slight resemblance of the real thing. Worth seeing...just don't expect to see anything beyond an arm bar or a rear naked choke..
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wait for the DVD...

If you are a 12 year old boy with a BIG imagination an a pubecent attration to pretty and silent women, this movie will entertain you for 30 of the 129 min. In 1 Million Years BC, we had Raquel Welch to hold our attention. Todays preteen boys have Miss Belle. Though the graphics have improved, the same questions linger..."How can a tribe with such unkempt hair have such perfect teeth and accents?" I think if I were to recommend this to a friend they might later recommend I see "There Will be Blood" as a way of getting me back. Save your money and go see Bucket List a second time.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

A New Record!
PostedMarch 5, 2008
It has been fifteen years since I picked a NEW "Most Boring & Painful to Sit through Movie". This is the new winner. This 2 1/2 hour commentary on...uh...whatever, had me spinning an invisible revolver and pointing it at my head. It was the first time I found myself wishing the audience would talk just so I would have something interesting to capture my attention. The 'preacher' had the spirit putting two words in my head..."So what?" I stayed because, much like watching a train wreck, I wanted to see if there actually was any blood that the title promised. If I could get free tickets to give to my friends for this movie, I would save them the time and just insult their intellegence directly. To the writers...go to Disneyland and get an imagination.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
