Fluffy, predictable rom-com that adds nothing new to the genre. The story of a physical trainer who takes on the rehabilitation of an NBA star after he injures himself, while her gold digging cousin i ...

For those of you expecting a new interpretation of the myth of Robin Hood you'e bound to be disappointed. It's not just a new interpretation, it's a completely new story about the origins of Robin Hoo ...

Was this fun to watch? Sure. Was it as good as the original? Not even close. Everyone was trying too hard in this one, and readers of the comic books will cringe a bit as the story goes along. Downey ...

This looked might it might have been fun, but it's off to kind of a flat start and the two main characters seem a little bit short on the chemistry needed to pull off their projected personas. It's de ...

This one was kind of interesting to watch, but I'm not sure if it'll catch the audience needed to keep it on. It's about a con man leading two different lives with two different women, who wants to go ...

I agree. This one is fun to watch. I'm just afraid that the rivalry that is the amusing part of the show is going to disappear as the show progresses and they inevitably become fast friends/family etc ...

two groups of assassins duking it out in an attempt to escape an underground bunker. A few also ran names in there (Ellen Barkin, Ving Rhames) and a low budget are the driving forces in this one. The ...

I've used a variety of different ones, but now I stick to Taiyo and then Verbatim if for whatever reason I can't get TY. If I can't get either of those then I just don't buy any until I can. Can't go ...

Comedy about a married couple looking to jazz up their married lives and then getting caught in a dangerous case of mistaken identity.

Carrell and Fay had pretty good chemistry together, and there ...

Hypercynical, graphically violent and dark movie delivers a lot of action as a reforming organ repo guy bucks the system and tries to escape the fate that he once delivered onto others. Lots going on ...

Lots of action and lots of violence, some of it a little weird and maybe a bit disturbing considering the source of said violence. The plot was a little silly at times, and the situations formulaic, b ...

Kind of a strange mix of characters, where the kids talk like erudite socialites and the adults like ignorant slobs, while the main characters' emotional insecurity is contrasted against his inner alt ...

Well, if you know your mythology then you know how most of the story goes already, although the movie changed it up some. I heard the critics were pretty rough on it, but I found it to be ok. It wasn' ...

I had to watch this because it had Bruce Willis, so I figured that even if I had to deal with listening to Tracy Morgan that at the very least maybe there's be some action worth seeing. Nope. This tur ...

This one's basically an A-team story rip off, where this band of army boys gets framed for something they didn't do and are looking to redeem themselves.

I haven't seen the new version of the A Tea ...

The previews on this one looked funny, and I like the actors, so I was looking forward to seeing this one. For what seems like the umpteenth time lately I ended up watching this incredibly mediocre mo ...

You've all seen the ads. Suspenseful, rife with tension, blah, blah. Well, despite the creepy premise and some of the filming it truly wasn't all that suspenseful, or all that exciting. Once again you ...

This one's about a black family getting together with a mexican family to reconcile over the wedding of their respective children. Stereotypes fly left and right. predictability flows over the side. i ...

pretty harmless, pretty standard romantic comedy in which the nerdy loser tries to mix it up with the gorgeous blonde girl? Sound familiar? It should, as it's a complete retread of the movie we've all ...

What is a pretty decent action suspense flick featuring Matt Damon keeps you entertained and intrigued right up until the end, where it suddenly switches gears and falls absolutely flat. Unaccountably ...

Lots of fun action, although a bit cartoonish at times. Almost no storyline, just story holes, and Gyllenhaal was just not the guy for this movie (bet he regrets giving up the lead in Avatar to this.l ...

It was ok, but there was nothing really "new" in it, and the "twist" was foreseeable right out of the gate. Nothing more than average for me, but watchable. I'd give it a C+

I agree. Fairly mediocre movie that was way too G to have lived up to the story line we were supposed to be following. I'd give it a C too.

You needn't worry too much about the story in this one. It's all just window dressing to give the shoot-em-up a place to play. Lots of action, mayhem and a caricatured, completely over-the-top kick bu ...

quelle surprise! Laughing

I was really looking forward to this one, since I love the aerial period pieces from the time, but I walked away pretty thinking they should have called this "The Dead Baron" instead of the ...

Fairly ho-hum (at best) supernatural thriller about angels posessing humans and trying to wipe out some unborn baby that will bring people back from the dark age that they're creating, since it would ...

This movie is a stark, dark, and unrelententingly gloomy film about the post apocalyptic world and the shrinking and dying mass of humanity within it. It's bleak, depressing and grey as the world is j ...

Not at all what I was expecting, and if you're thinking superhero comedy or spoof then don't look for this movie to fill the bill. This is actually kind of a dark and complicated movie textually about ...

Went out with a group of people and at least one of them had seen all the movies I wanted to see. Well, this one is the one that by default nobody had seen, and so we went to see it.

Well, you can ...
