The movie Hanna has a lot of relentless action and for that the adrenaline seekers will be grateful. It has Saoirse Ronan and her tough sweetness surly blisters the screen. Beautifully photographed, nicely acted and directed, but the storyline didn’t move me.
Another big comedy has entered theaters this weekend called Arthur and it’s a scream. Of course the most fun comes from star Russell Brand the new champion of comedy who turns and old film into a touchingly brilliant laugher. If you want to loosen up from everyday problems go see Arthur, his troubles are far from dull.
Gross, rude, crude and lewd, Your Highness almost takes the trophy from Borat, Bruno, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as the most vulgar film of the past decade. Every laugh attempt uses tongue in cheek comedy and that gets weird after awhile.
Just like the title Win Win, this little indie gives a heartfelt prize. A nicely acted drama that tugs at the heartstrings, the film has a lot to offer in the way of entertainment and life lessons. If you are a fan of films that work because they are a slice of life, then this is your reward.
Suspenseful, explosive and intriguing Source Code breaks the mold in this thriller that entertains. The intricate plot constantly changes making the tale gripping and mysterious in a fantasy action adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Captivating and as the British would say utterly romantic, the movie version of the Charlotte Bronte novel Jayne Eyre moves into theaters this weekend. I enjoyed the acting, the amazing landscapes and period costumes.
There are many bumps in the night in the film Insidious, but not enough acting delivery to make the horror work. I do admit I jumped and flinched on a few occasions as director James Wan does set you up for some exciting chills, but it’s not enough to give the film even an average grade.
The film Hop comes to theatres just in time for the Easter season and kiddies will love it. Filled with some very comical fun, the live action movie with computer graphics provides a good venue for mom to treat the youngsters. I liked the cute little plot with some adult tongue-in-cheek quips and amusing sight gags.
Good acting, direction and cinematography work together in making The Human Resources Manger an entertaining film. The foreign drama with a comedic undertone
Bringing to light a heinous crime, Poetry does a good job of making a case against bullying. The acting, directing and cinematography all connect in this South Korean tale that is heartbreaking and revealing. Acting saves the lengthy wondering film.
