If this was s Batman only movie with Michael Keaton, i wouldn't care about the storyline. It could be a two movie with him just driving around in a Batmobile. I'd give it a 10/10 in a heartbeat.

But nevertheless, the movie was about the flash and as poorly as Ezra acts in every other movie, this was no different. His portrait of Barry Allen's persona is terrible. Why must he act like a bimbo is beyond me. Totally ruins the movie and plot, which in itself was dull.

The ending is very confusing so it feels like the movie didn't end or it did but didn't have the storyline that you would think it would have. Strange movie. Thankfully I chose not to waste my money on it watching it in cinemas.

John McEnroe did a great job as a commentator and he didn't even yell... much.... looking back to how I was in high school, this series was a bit of a wake-up call. The things we do/did to make people around us feel right about themselves... even though bending the truth was a factor. Just because you're not the prettiest girl in school, doesn't mean you can't get the attention of the hottest guy in school. Sometimes opposites do match in the strangest way. Loss can also lead to something positive, even though you are challenged with what kind of a family that you have around you, especially when they think that they are supporting you, yet they are just supporting their own old family traditions. We cannot choose the family we are born into, but we can choose those, who come later in life to become our family. Great series with episodes that only last 24-25 minutes. It's a joy getting to follow Devi and her life and adventures in high school. Hoping for a season 2!

I've always thought of him as a great actor, he's just brilliant in this movie even though the story is a little lame. If you are a KC fan, watch the movie, it's definitely getting a 10/10 from me just because KC looks so adorable in it! I loved the voice he did when he called the hotel pretending to be someone else! And then there was that jumping in the lake scene, cute! Short summary of the movie:

Mac is a limo driver. After watching his parents die when he was 11 and still blaming himself for it when someone paid him to take a package into his own house he has never forgiven himself, but he did see the killer. Now years later whilst driving he sees the killer and comes up with a plan to ruin the killer. He becomes a security guard at the killer's casino, but whilst Mac is planning to pull off a heist he gets involved with the casino banker, but even she isn't who she appears to be....

I finally got to see this movie and I found it very charming.

Quick summary:

Redford plays a semi-serious lawyer Bill McKay whose father was once a governor for California. Now some want him to follow his father's footsteps and become a candidate for senator, but he has a tough rival and his attitude towards it all seems as if he doesn't want to do it, but does it anyway.

Redford is just great in this movie... and very cute! The ending is left just right fora sequel, which I wonder why they haven't made yet.

8/10.

Lately every Jackie Chan movie i've seen has been a disappointment, I really didn't expect much from this movie and i was right.

Eddie is a Hong Kong cop helping Interpol grab a criminal called Snakehead, who seems to be after an ancient medallion and its a keeper, a young boy, who has been chosen to give life, power and immortality to whomever he heals with it. After the boy is kidnapped during a failed attempt of capturing Snakehead, Eddie is sent to Dublin, Ireland to continue his investigation with Watson, a nerdy Interpol officer, who can't seem to get anything right and Laura, another Interpol officer, who has a history with Eddie. When Eddie dies whilst saving the boy, the boy gives life back to Eddie, which leads him to discover new things about himself.

The movie is senseless, the comedy sidekick (Lee Evans) Watson is a total bore and the only thing good about this movie were the few stunts and scenes by Jackie himself, I'm still wondering how he managed to fit through that gate, but I guess that's just Jackie. I was going to give a 1/10 but because of that gate scene Im rating it a 2/10 in hopes that Jackie makes some decent movies in the future.

This was truly a joyful and entertaining movie that from my point of view was most likely this years worth a watch!!

The curse of Cortez is set on the pirate ship crew by the name of Black Pearl. In order to remove the curse they have to find the missing gold piece they had stolen and to spill the blood of a dead pirate after they retrieve the last piece. Unfortunately the missing piece is in the hands of the beautiful Elizabeth Swann, a governor's daughter in love with the local blacksmith and swordsman Will Turner. When Elizabeth is kidnapped by the crew of the Black Pearl, Will Turner accepts the help of the low-life pirate Jack Sparrow, but little does Will know about the true story of Jack Sparrow, as they sail after the Black Pearl.

We were very hesitant to see this movie in the beginning, but after reading the reviews we decided to give it a chance and we were surprised and in awe of the wonderful story it contained. The movie has it all, action, adventure, humour and a wonderful cast. Orlando Bloom makes a wonderful appearance outside of his superb portrayal of Legolas in Lord of the Rings as Will Turner, the young man, who knows so little about his family. Johnny Depp was quite surprisingly brilliant as well as the strange, wigged out and 2-faced pirate Captain Jack Sparrow and least of all the beautiful Keira Knightley, who portrayed Elizabeth Swann is a definitely rising star in the chain of Hollywood actresses! I rate this 10 out of 10 and then some!

This movie was so not worth a watch.

Summary: We speed up in time and join the loner John Connor, now an adult unaware that his time is approaching to take control of his life and the lives of others to survive judgement day. A new terminator, the TX has been sent back to destroy all those who were commanding officers under John Connor, but John, along with the help of an allied terminator go on a rescue to save his future wife from being killed by the new improved terminator TX and to stopping judgement day.

The ending is not what you would expect, the new TX was very cool although she had 2 lines in the whole movie and as for the rest of the cast, Arnie is back butt naked again as the allied terminator, but apparently isn't the same one that died before... he's a new one and he only takes commands from Kate Brewster... John Connor's future bride, but the kids here have some history, which Kate keeps bringing up at odd times. The first Terminator movie rocked, the 2nd one rocked more but the 3rd one rolled over and died. The only highlight is the new TX, who is described by a close friend of mine as being "hot". I've rated this a 4 out of 10, but just barely.

Okay so I didn't understand a word of the movie, but thank god for subtitles!

Summary: Ko Chun is the master, the god of gambling, no one can beat him at card games and dices. He is hired by a guy to take his place on a high-stake gambling circuit only Ko Chun ends up having an accident by a couple who had set up a trap for somebody else. They take him in and take care of him, but when he wakes up he has no memory of who he is except that he has a fondness for chocolate and starts behaving like a little child! Great movie, brilliant performance by Chow Yun-Fat as Ko Chun, I rate this movie 10/10!

Summary:

Anna, a school teacher, noble Englishwoman and widow of an officer goes to Siam with her son Louis to teach English to the children of King Mongkut of Siam. Upon their meeting Anna reveals herself as a very stubborn western cultured woman, who believes in equals and constantly opposes the King, who has 68 children, 26 wives and 40+ concubines yet his heart settles upon Anna even due to their conflicts he tries to bring his country into an alliance with England in order to keep the Burmese regime out, but with his own life and the lives of his royal family at risk King Mongkut is forced to make some difficult choices.

A very touching movie I gave this an even 8/10, a brilliant performance by Chow Yun-Fat and Jodie Foster, for a moment it seemed as if something would happen between Anna and the King, but the suspense of their feelings lasts to the very end.

Nicely made black and white movie with some very nice acting.

Carl (Bruce Campbell), once a popular highschool student gets released from prison after serving 5 years for a heist gone bad. Outside, his friend and partner Patrick awaits his release so they can go rob a bank, but when he meets the girl he left behind in highschool 15 years ago he stands with a difficult choice of having to choose the money or her.

The movie was just over an hour and since it seemed very live we get to see all the actors really putting in a great effort to make this movie good.

Sam Callen (Shannon Sturges from the TV series Savannah) gets sent to Texas to basically shut down Dr. Branson's tornado tracking machine project and gives him a few days to come up with some results for him to be able to continue his project while she gets romanced by Jake (Bruce Campbell), a tornado chasing cowboy and farmer, who lives with his grandfather and occasionally comes to blows with his highschool rival Ritchie Cochran, an ambitious TV weather man, who shows interest in Sam as well. Sam decides to stay on a little longer so she can experience a tornado unaware it's a monster tornado.

Twister was better since that was a box office movie. Bruce Campbell was quite cool in this movie, even though this movie had no real effects it is still worth a watch. I rate this 6/10.

Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen I've waited to watch this movie for ages to see such brilliant martial artists in one movie.

Summary: Chon Wang is now a sheriff in Nevada, but upon hearing news that his father has been killed and the royal seal has been stolen Chon heads to find Roy O' Bannon, but finds his friend in trouble after he has lost all the gold. They head to England to find Chon's sister Lin, who is in jail after trying to kill Rathbone, a member of the royal family, who killed Chon's father, whilst he was guarding the seal. After getting released from jail, Roy, Chon and Lin do their best to get the seal back before it lands in the wrong hands.

Several famous names appear in the movie, Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chaplin, but the funniest was Jack the Ripper. Jackie was excellent again and his fight scenes were a little bad timed, but still great to watch. I was extremely disappointed that Donnie Yen's character didn't have a BIG fight scene with Jackie and I do hope he has a bigger role in other movie projects that he has lined up (The one with Jet Li sounds interesting!) but it was a fun movie to watch, and the end credits, I've always been a fan of Jackie Chan's end credits, but this one broke the record of being the funniest. Owen Wilson's character Roy O'Bannon was weak in this movie. The first 15 minutes of him in the movie were dull and I'm still trying to figure out how he left the hotel, whilst Chon was in the doorway...how did he sneak by?

I rate this movie a 7/10 and it's a must watch for all Jackie fans.

George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore, 3 hot names in Hollywood all in one movie...sounded good.

Summary: The story of Chuck Barris, an entertainer, who created several game shows for television tells his tale of how he kept up the front as an entertainer in front of the audience and was a CIA assassin whenever he had an assignment to kill someone.

From a young age, Chuck had his way with people, but his only mission in life seemed to be how much sex he could have and he seems to sleep around with all the women and getting into plenty of bar fights when he catches his big break working for NBC, he created the Dating Game and at the same time he was approached by Jim Byrd, a CIA agent, who finds Chuck to fit the "profile" of what it takes to kill people for some reason. He meets Penny, who in a way becomes his best friend and lover, but he keeps his secret life a secret from her, but then he meets someone who has the same interests as him and he starts to make a lot of serious decisions for himself when it is revealed that there is someone out to kill him....

The plot is good I mean who wouldn't want to be a secret agent? The British have their MI6 and for fiction they have James Bond and the Americans have their CIA, FBI, NSA and whatever other acronyms they have and for fiction I can only think of Xander Cage (Triple X) at the moment but seems to be a thin line between fact and fiction in this movie, which I'm really not so sure about because I can't see Chuck as fact OR fiction.... Chuck has ambitions and goals, but how the CIA would even get an ordinary man like him involved as an "undercover assassin" just because the CIA agent claimed Chuck's father was a serial killer and why the women go ranting mad after this guy and why doesn't he have aids or something with the rate he was going...but the movie was entertaining nevertheless and the actors do make it very believable, but Sam Rockwell, even though he was good in the movie, he was portraying Chuck as a completely uninteresting and unattractive person. This movie is like every geeks dream, because Chuck was portrayed as a geek, who gets 2 gorgeous women in his life and then to top it off he is s secret agent.

The movie leaves you in a dilemma, is Chuck's appearance a form of decoy that allows people to think, "oh he's a geek, he can't be a secret agent" or is he just lying and his whole autobiography is just a huge fiction novel/movie?

I rate this 7/10, George Clooney really did a good job and he of course was in the movie as Jim Byrd, the CIA agent and I just can't stop laughing about the clothes he wore. Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore were 2 totally different people in this movie, each with their own influence on Sam Rockwell's character. Plus there was some footage with Dick Clark and other celebrities who know Chuck Barris.

I hate horror movies, but I thought I'd give this one a chance since i heard it was good.

Summary: A spaceship crashes on an abandoned planet with passengers and a convict on his way back to prison. Among the survivors there is a pilot, who just wants to find a way off the planet, a junkie policeman who is escorting the convicted killer Riddick, a holyman, a few kids and a few other people, who gather together what they have to survive the drought of the planet, but next to finding water they have to find Riddick, who they fear will kill them eventually, but they eventually figure out they aren't that much in danger of Riddick than what lives in the darkness on the planet. A step into darkness leads to a death and soon they learn that once there is a solar eclipse, what is in the dark will appear and they won't be able to see "it" except Riddick, who has had surgery on his eyes giving him the ability to see in the dark, but does he even want to save the same people that want him dead?

The plot was great, I fast forwarded most of the ending of the movie to prevent nightmares, but it wasn't that scary or anything (Sure, you'd expect me to say that once I've just admitted I fast forwarded!) The special effects made for Vin Diesel's character Riddick were awesome, as for the monsters, they reminded me of Alien in a way, but the movie was very dark towards the ending and also the ending sucked due to the last person who gets killed, that shouldn't have happened, but sad to say it did happen and it ruined the movie.

I rate this 7/10, Vin Diesel was really good as Riddick, the guy you just start to like, but end up laughing at his sarcasm and then end up hating him.

A well awaited movie I finally was able to see it and what a surprise, it's another rip off of a Hollywood movie, just in a longer version!

6 strangers get arrested for one crime and end up in one jail for the night. Together they plan a flawless crime, to rob a bank. With flashbacks and some present events, we get to see who is who and how they ended up in that cell. Major, a man with an ill wife on her death bed at home is looking to get some help to get his business sorted out. Marc, a bouncer in love with one of the dancers at the club gets framed by his boss. Bali, a lunatic with a retarded sister at home has half a brain and is aided by a partner he has known for 6 months, Mac. Andy, a small time criminal who knows his way with computers and stuff, but also has trouble at home with his now divorced wife and little son who he can't support. Ajju, a crook, whose crime gets them all in jail where they meet. The robbery goes smooth, but one gets injured and they don't understand how the police arrive there until they grab a cop, who tells them that one of the 6 is an undercover cop.......

For those who have seen Reservoir Dogs, you'll know who the cop is and the mystery will be solved before you know it, but still Bollywood goes all out with great songs and stuff so for those who haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, this is worth a watch.

I rate this 7/10, god acting and some funny scenes.

I was wondering what this movie was like so I finally rented it.

Summary: The ending is at the beginning when Leonard kills someone. The with lots of flashbacks we walk through his life ever since his wife was raped and murdered in their home whilst Leonard had his skull bashed against a mirror. To the present, he suffers from short term memory loss, he can't make new memories and only can remember his past and now puts all his efforts into finding the killer of his wife by using notes, pictures and tattoos all over his body with clues and facts to remind him how far he has gotten with his mission, but everyone who knows about his condition messes with him even more.

It was a very confusing movie that really didn't have an ending at all, but I got to see a different prospective, it was almost like you feel sorry for Leonard because he has no idea what he is doing at all and people are using him and he has no clue whatsoever. In another way the "condition" as he refers to every 5 minutes is some way a payback due to one of his insurance investigations that resembled a case of another person who suffered this condition. It's amazing to see a man doing everything in his power above his limits trying to keep everything in prospective even though he forgets about it a few minutes after.

Guy Pearce was great in this movie as Leonard, who lets people know the problem he has yet doesn't want anybody to pity him so he stays strong in his struggle. It's great to see Guy has come so far ever since he left the Australian series Neighbours.

I rate this movie 8/10, the plot was great, but it did confuse me. His wife is raped and murdered, he is out looking for a guy he doesn't even know, but how did the other characters get involved?

My favourite lines in this movie were : Natalie: "So what's the last thing you remember?" Leonard: "My wife...." Natalie: "That's sweet" Leonard: "...dying...".......

I always wondered why this movie was so popular, but I was never a fan of Kevin Spacey, but I am now!

Summary: Lester works for a magazine publishing house, he lives with his wife Carolyn, a real estate agent, who feels like a loser because Buddy King (Or Kane I can't remember), another real estate agent is better than she is. Their teenage daughter Jane is...well...a 16 year old teenager, who hates her parents, because they argue all the time. Next door to them, a new family moves in. The father, Colonel Fitts, a marine nazi fanatic with homophobia, his deranged wife Barbara and their 18 year old son Ricky, a peeping tom, who films everything he can with his video camera. At a highschool basketball match, Lester sees the cheerleader slash so-called friend of Jane's called Angela and he steps into midlife-crisis mode, has a teenage crush on Angela and starts working out just to impress her. Everything around Lester seems to be falling apart when he quits his job, his wife starts having an affair and his teenage daughter gets involved with the drug dealer slash peeping tom Ricky. All Lester seems to care about is Angela and his body.....

A hilarious movie with lots of quick sarcastic remarks from everyone. Kevin Spacey was truly excellent in this movie, I didn't like him in the movie Seven, but this movie is definitely a turn around from that movie.

I rate this 9/10. It's really worth watching!

...But forget about the moon thing for a moment and let's get back to the late 60's Earth.

Summary: Pearl and her husband Marty take their family on a vacation in the summer of 1969 near Woodstock where all their friends are too, but Marty can only stay on the weekends because he has a job repairing TV sets, which takes up most of his time, especially because people want to see the walk on the moon. Pearl yearns for some excitement in her life. Her daughter is almost grown up, her son is still young, but something seems missing from her life, something she can't even experience with her husband. Enter excitement in the form of the extremely charming "blouse man" Walker Jerome, who spends his time travelling on a bus loaded with blouses that he sells at places such as the cabins. He and Pearl meet and there is an attraction, but after she sleeps with him on the night of the moon landing, everything changes for her...especially when Marty's mother realizes what Pearl is up to.

No one can be sure of what will happen later in life and as for Pearl I felt sorry for her in a way that she was trapped in the life that she was leading that was slowly dying anyways. I also felt sorry for Marty, who was subjected to his wife's affair, and for the both of them I thought it was sad to see how 2 people's lives were destroyed over a mistake of not using protection which lead to the kids and their dreams left shattered, but I do think that both of them were lucky to get that sort of a wake up call in their lives and yet they still found a way to work things out.

I rate this 8/10. Nice movie, Viggo Mortensen looked great in this movie as the bong loving hippie Blouse man.

Sandra Bullock has always been one of my favourite actresses and indeed she made another wonderful movie alongside Hugh Grant. I heard many rumours that the two Hollywood stars didn't get along off-screen, but on-screen they were a hit!

Lucy is a Harvard graduate lawyer, who wants nothing more than to save the world by saving the places that are to be torn down by a big company called Wade Corporation. She also has stepped on so many toes that she works for a legal aid office without much luck in getting anything she wants done until she confronts George Wade, the boss of the company. He immediately takes a liking to her and becomes extremely addicted to whatever she wants done so much that he calls her, annoys her and practically makes her life hell just to have her input for small things such as what he should wear. After working there for over a year Lucy feels she has achieved nothing and therefore gives George her two weeks notice. He then asks her to help him find a replacement for her, but the person that gets chosen seems to be competition for Lucy and what bond she has with George.

A wonderful love story and a very funny one. The two are totally hilarious to watch and Sandra Bullock is prefect in her role as the annoying girl next door who has a few surprises up her sleeve. Hugh Grant is wonderful portraying the annoying George with his British humour and lack of respect for others.

I rate this 9/10, it's really worth watching!
