It’s a chick flick, so there you go, I said it right up front. And, What’s Your Number? is very predictable, so there you go again. AND it’s 27 Dresses with a bit more sex and without Katherine Heigl. Actually, I almost liked the film up until two scenes that show the moral decay of American cinema.
The film Killer Elite plays out like you are watching a video game, kill an assassin and move up to the next level. Exciting, power packed and relatively predictable, the film tends to mirror other action movies that have been released this year. The thing that does play better than the rest involves the suspense that comes with trying to decide who really is the bad guy here?
It’s called Straw Dogs and the cunning little tale takes you into the dark side of a dysfunctional town and renders fear. I was very much blown away by the film from its mellow beginning to a buildup of concern and a final turn of events that made me shudder.
Ryan Gosling holds his own in this rough surrealistic drama that inserts all the thrills shown in the preview and more. If you like looking into the mind of a tough loner who is on a road to a life full of angst, then take a ride to Drive.
This summer has hatched a lot of comedies and that’s a good thing. Keeping the laughter coming, A Good Old Fashioned Orgy does it’s level best to entertain and it does. For one thing it’s got a great cast of comedic actors working with a weird little script that delivers. It may sound like a lot of hooey but A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is worth a look.
A fairly good drama with a lot of intrigue bows at local movie theatres starring a fine cast. Although the actors do an excellent job of portraying the interesting characters, the story gets muddled a bit with questions of reality. If you like films geared to getting you incensed about Nazi war crimes then The Debt is worth a look.
Thrilling, Intriguing and vicious Point Blank keeps the adrenaline pumping with excitement at every turn. A fine cast ably directed by Fred Cavaye puts the film in a league with The Departed. If you like a lot of action with a harrowing storyline then go and see Point Blank.
The remake is an exact replica of the original with nothing distinguishing one from the other except for the change of Sally as a young girl instead of a grown woman.
The first few minutes of the film gets bloodcurdling scary and sets the bar high for the rest of the film, but unfortunately as the film progresses it begins to fall flat.
If you are looking for a comedy that has a lot of laughs and surprising situations, Our Idiot Brother fails to deliver. Opening late in the summer wasn’t a good idea since the film comes on the heels of a fairly good year for human humor
Hollywood has a way of reinventing things by rejuvenating characters and bringing them up to date with all the bells and whistles necessary to make it ‘fresh and new.’ This is the case of the film Conan the Barbarian as reviewed by John Delia and Marisa Ings.
