Band of Robbers 2016

Band of Robbers 2016 Movie Review I want to keep this brief because this movie should just be seen and experienced. The performances are great from the entire cast, especially from co- writer and co-director Adam Nee as Tom Sawyer. The story is original,funny and unexpected while still playing homage to the classic tale in its own way. The movie is shot beautifully and with style. Using bright colours and interesting props to really hold the tone. I was lucky enough to catch this at CIFF and I'm excited to get a second viewing whenever it gets distribution.

A Perfect Day 2015 Movie Review Greetings again from the darkness. "Somewhere in the Balkans, 1995" is the notice we receive in the opening frame, and the post Kosovo War setting is less about fighting a war and more about finding humanity in the aftermath. Based on the novel by Paula Farias and adapted by Diego Farias and director Fernando Leon de Aranoa, the film follows a group of Aid Across Borders workers as they make their way through the community, attempting to navigate the cultural and political challenges to offering assistance. The corpse in a drinking water well is the immediat

It Takes a Man and a Woman 2013 Movie Review I must say, this is a feel good movie! All in all, It Takes A Man and A Woman tackles about the reality of being in a relationship. Betrayal, Patience, Trust and most of all Forgiveness: these are the elements of reality that are discussed in this movie. It is no doubt that this 3rd installment is a blockbuster hit because the emotions are well expressed! They will make you laugh hard and put you into tears. I believe that the planned 4th installment will continue its streak as a blockbuster hit for many of the story's and love team's

Ghostbusters 2016 Movie Review Really wish people would stop being so negative about this film because its a female cast. How can people state that this will be shit, when it hasn't even finished being made yet. and i would like any of the people who said this will be shit to confidently say the originals were any better. these 4 ladies are a lot funnier than any of the cast of the originals! Get with the times and stop being so fucking sexist.

Captain America: Civil War 2016 Movie Review That beat down on Iron Man with that Winter Soldier/Captain America team up was awesome. But where the hell was Spidey!? he had a massive part in the comics when Civil War came around, I'm optimistic about how Tom Holland or who ever is playing Spider-Man will protray the web slinger. We've had one good Spidey (Toby Maguire) and one average Spidey (Andrew Garfield) so who knows if this new Spidey will be good or bad. And this trailer was awesome. Love the Black Panther he's my 5th favorite Super Hero

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016 Movie Review I have seen this trailer so many times. Yet I'm still crying. It looks beautiful. Can't wait to watch this in cinemas.

The Forest 2016 Movie Review This is based on a true story ... the forest portrayed in this movie is Aokighara forest which is also known as the Suicide Forest .. This forest is most popular suicide spot in Japan and 3rd most popular in world

Deadpool 2016 Movie Review I want to see this movie finally a fun anti super hero all the other ones are so serious and lame

Ghost 1990 Movie Review Forever a classic Certain movies will just always be hard to write a review for. You can give your opinion and say what you enjoyed or didn't enjoy but I find myself hesitating in certain aspects just because a classic must be left some space to be a classic. Ghost as far as I'm concerned will forever be a romantic classic. It's sheer brilliance is it's twists, it is incredibly, deeply, romantic and at the same time terrifying, and has an underlying story that is never fully explored. It's got action, mystery, horror, and at the heart is the pure, simplistic roman

The Quick and the Dead 1995 Movie Review Fun modern western. This movie uses lot's of ingredients used in classic westerns. It does it in a fun way but it doesn't spoof the classic westerns in any way and it never becomes humorous or a parody that makes fun of the genre. Who would have known, Sharon Stone is a believable cowgirl. I think it's fair for me to say that she's the best I have seen in a western. The movie also features both Russell Crow and Leonardo DiCaprio before their days of fame and big Dollars. It's always fun and great to have Gene Hackman in a villain role and he ma

We Were Soldiers 2002 Movie Review 10/10 Entertainment, or factual account? I was privileged to see a preview of Mel Gibson's new film "We Were Soldiers" based upon the book written by his real life character, Lt. Col. Harold Moore, along with Joe Galloway. I attended a showing along with numerous other Viet Nam vets and it would seem that there were as many opinions about the movie as there were viewers. Like the war itself, each person in attendance probably had some personal experiences that the movie brought back from that deep, and sometimes distant, place we have put them. The

The Fighter 2010 Movie Review The Fighter is a winner. The story of Micky "Irish" Ward and his boxing career with his crack addicted brother at his side. Apparently Marky Mark was so hell bent on getting this film made that he stayed in "shape" for years and years just in case the film went into production. That's dedication and passion for you, yet the man still manages to be the weak link. It's not really his fault, David O. Russell packed the film with a lot of talent. Christian Bale plays Dicky Ecklund, Micky's crack addicted brother who tells the same story over and over ag

The Deer Hunter 1978 Movie Review The Deer Hunter: 10/10 Most young people today need to learn that Robert De Niro was not just the person in Meet the Parents or The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, but he starred in films like The Deer Hunter, which got him to where he is today. Not only is he a great actor, he always picks good films to act in. And with a strong supporting cast, also, you can't really go wrong with The Deer Hunter. Michael (De Niro), Nick (Christopher Walken), and Steven (John Savage) sign up to go to Vietnam. They leave after a farewell party/wedding party for Stanley

Season of the Witch 2011 Movie Review Enjoyable B-Movie Popcornfest I walked out of the theater so thrilled to have spent my money on a Nicholas Cage movie. Its not often that happens. I heard from a unenthusiastic review (one of numerous scathing reviews out there, as anyone with the internet can tell) about the on screen shenanigans with Nick Cage and Ron Perlman were so enjoyable that it made the rest of the movie bearable. Going in with that anticipation, I found myself not only pulled into their characters' fun and convincing friendship but also into an intense and yes even

Revolutionary Road 2008 Movie Review A dream is a wish your heart makes, then you wake up and it's time to go to work So a few weeks ago, my sister and I decided to watch a movie and wanted to see Titanic again, so of course we get to the sad ending where Jack dies, but Rose lived on to have an incredible life, I asked my sister "I wonder what would've happened if Jack lived? Would he and Rose really have lasted like they thought they would have?", she giggled and asked if I saw Revolutionary Road, I said no and she said to see this movie and my question would be answered. So here's some

Gulliver's Travels 2010 Movie Review Well, certainly it didn't blow my mind, at all, but it is fun, nice family fun Saw this one in 3D. First thing you should know: there's no reason to pay the extra money for the 3D version as pretty much the coolest 3D stuff I saw that day (saw it last Saturday afternoon) was on the trailer of the new Transformers movie. Second thing you should know: I'm not familiar at all with the book or with any of the other movies. Maybe that's why I'm one of the few ones here in IMDb who gave more than 4 stars to this movie. Anyway, there's really nothin

TRON: Legacy 2010 Movie Review Trontastic... I have never seen the original 'Tron', nor do I really know much about it really. I've only heard the movie referenced on occasion (like that one episode of The Simpsons where Homer's trapped in the Third Dimension and he asks if anybody saw the movie 'Tron', and everyone says "No."). The previews for 'Tron: Legacy' looked visually stunning, and I'm happy to report it does not disappoint in that regard. Everything seen inside "The Grid" is a wonder to behold, a visual feast. But is this the only thing the film has going for it? Well...yes and

Thank You for Smoking 2005 Movie Review 10/10 born for secret stardom I hate to say it. but this movie is gonna fail in the box office. for the same reason no one showed up to its screening. but this will be one of the most entertaining cult movies ever. although it lacks the glam and actually will turn a lot of people away before they even get to the box office do to the subject matter, but they will all be missing out on a hilariously made movie. I don't think i've laughed this hard in a long long time. this movie isn't really intended to be anti-smoking propaganda, but there is some

Juno 2007 Movie Review This movie has stayed with me I saw this movie at a preview in St. Louis about ten days ago and can't stop thinking about it. I had no expectations going in (as I was given three free passes) as I took my teenage daughter and her friend. Learning about the subject matter, I was quite anxious how it would be shown and frankly I thought it was done very well. First of all everyone has gone to High School with a Juno. That smart alec independent tomboy, cute, refreshing & fun to be around but not cool to date or be seen with. And the further removed from high schoo

Black Swan 2010 Movie Review Mediocre and immature Based on the commercials for Black Swan, I walked into the theater expecting to see a film about a career ballerina who is forced to access her repressed dark side in preparation for her role as the swan queen and cracks under the pressure. Instead, the film I saw was about a meek young woman who's possibly schizophrenic and certainly on the verge of a nervous breakdown from the opening reel. There's no real drama because Nina is already broken. All that's left is for the viewer is to watch her become increasingly unhinged. Black Swan

Yogi Bear 2010 Movie Review I don't get it Why would anyone who watches a movie like this expect there to be some sort of plot. The review I saw for this is dumb. Obviously , the critic has never seen the cartoon version of Yogi Bear or he would know that it is supposed to be random. It's a silly pair of characters. That is what makes this movie so good. Yogi and Boo Boo have always been silly characters. I mean if you expected this to be like a regular movie, then you need to get into another line of work. That's like anyone that saw the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie and thought it was sup

Our Family Wedding 2010 Movie Review deja vu i think there are too many of these movies these days. haven't we seen something like this a couple of years back with Ashton Kutcher?? with this movie its like im having a deja vu, and also very very predictable, nothing new or cool about it. the lead actors are pretty good but the plot is cheap and meaningless. we have seen the whole different culture uniting kinda thing, seriously we get the point no need to repeat it a hundred times. while i was watching this, i was already imagining the ending and with no surprise it turned out exactly

Tangled 2010 Movie Review 10/10 My Favorite Disney Movie I saw the finished movie at the screening before the wrap party. The movie works on every level. The Characters, the animation, the story, the score, the romance, and it's all very cute as well (in a way Disney can apparently still pull off). The one thing that I didn't get into was the songs (Except maybe the "Mother Knows Best" reprise). They were a little weak melodically and you won't be singing them for weeks like I do "Part of Your World" every time I watch the "Little Mermaid." However, the songs are good enough no

Spider-Man 2002 Movie Review 10/10 Raimi and Maguire weave a magical web in this excellent comic adaptation Studios lately have been known to spend almost $200 million dollars bringing a comic book super hero to life on the silver screen. With $200 million dollars you can buy many state of the art special effects for the director to full around with to his hearts content. If in the process, though, he decides to fore-go an entertaining story and script, characters that we can get to know and sympathize with, and good actors to bring those characters to life, all the special effects in the w

America's Sweethearts 2001 Movie Review An entertaining look behind the scenes of the movie star romances. Normally, who is married to/engaged to/dating who in the movie world is something that I couldn't possibly care less about, and I still don't care, but America's Sweethearts manages to make that very subject amusing and entertaining. John Cusack and Catherine Zeta-Jones play Eddie Thomas and Gwen Harrison, two movie stars who have been tremendously successful working together and who have worked their way into the heart of the American public. The conflict comes from their highly pu

Water for Elephants 2011 Movie Review 10/10 A spectacular film When I read Water for Elephants the book, I knew the film would be difficult to make and I was ready to be disappointed. Surprisingly, they managed to capture most of it in picture. Some things were lost on the way, of course, the most unfortunate one being old Jacob's struggles as an old man who refuses to retire from life before his time actually comes. Other details that made the book a masterpiece seemed more suitable for a book so they were not missed, mainly because the core story was there to its finest details. Th

Little Fockers 2010 Movie Review The same tired old jokes and clich Quality comedies -- if they go beyond one sequel -- never come in threes. In the case of "Little Fockers," three's a Focking mess. But we asked for it; "Meet the Fockers" ranks as the highest-grossing live-action comedy in the U.S., so regardless of quality, we were going to get whatever studios served us. And sure enough, "Little Fockers" cooks up tired modern gags, basically forgetting that the last decade of comedy (including its two predecessors) ever existed and that we could be won over by open mentions of sex (ooh

Leaving Las Vegas 1995 Movie Review 9/10 Amazing, and gritty performances It's not a movie I could bear to watch very often, because it's sad to see people destroy themselves. But Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue are riveting to watch here. As a person who has a past involvement in alcohol and substance abuse, I found Cage's performance especially compelling, and after watching him in this one, I am sure glad that lifestyle is behind me! The chemistry between these two is really great, two people that need each other in different ways, trying to cope with how screwed up their lives ha

Ninja Party Movie Review why in the f@cking hell was the opening music identical to Watchmojo's opening title sequence music? LOL, one thing more, they used my Alma matter :-) This is an R-18 movie release in the Philippines, sadly, this version will only be an international release. :-(

The Fountain 2006 Movie Review A hard, but intelligent film I recently saw this film at the Toronto International Film Festival.I was eagerly anticipating it's release, being a big fan of Pi and Requiem for a Dream. That being said, this is a hard film to watch. It has beautiful cinematography, an amazing score, and very impressive acting, however, I feel that the advertising on the film has been misleading. This is not a love story, nor is it a science fiction film (although it has elements of both).The true core of the film is a man dealing with the idea of mortality. The fact that he,

Once Were Warriors 1994 Movie Review 10/10 Absolutely Brilliant This movie is almost 10 years old and I just saw it tonight and I was left emotionally drained. This movie is one of the best I have ever seen the acting was first rate and the emotions left me drained I would recommend this to anyone but beware or it's stark reality. This is a wonderfully directed and acted film.

JFK 1991 Movie Review Past the controversy "JFK" was and remains so controversial that any positive reviews (not to say they were characteristic) it received were dwarfed by the trashing to which it was subjected in the official press, which started well before it was released. This was disturbing, for what is the big need -- it is just a movie. But to so many "JFK" was not, it was somehow threatening. Ultimately, it does not matter whether JFK's conclusion is correct, and I am even willing to give a little more license than I normally would to more-substantive, as well as less-import

House of Sand and Fog 2003 Movie Review A Beautiful Tragedy In a tragedy that only the likes of Sophocles or Shakespeare could recreate, the film House of Sand and Fog proves that some dreams really can't be shared. The American dream is shattered for Colonel Behrani and Kathy Nicolo in this movie of devastating beauty. It is a film about the relentless struggle between an Iranian man and a post-alcoholic over a small house near a Californian beach. When Kathy loses her house due to county error, Behrani buys it for the sake of money and self-pride. Their worlds clash when they realize t

EuroTrip 2004 Movie Review Excellent Absurd Comedy: Funnier Than American Pie This movie is hilarious & a must see for those who like American Pie, Scary Movie, Senseless & similar types of comedies. Eurotrip uses almost every single cliché or stereotype regarding Europe & exaggerates it enormously in an unbelievably funny way. Surprisingly the acting, which is done mainly by unknown actors & actresses, is very good. As for Michelle Trachtenberg, she is just plain awesome. Her acting deserves real praise. Plus, the film features several pretty successful cameo appearan
