A disappointment

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 20 December 2013 08:13 (A review of Larry Crowne)

Tom Hanks doesn't do a lot any more, he acts much more than he directs and here he directs a bland bore

'Larry Crowne' is a disappointment because of it's completely boring story, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts give decent performances but completely waste their talent

But what a lame plot! The main character gets fired and his neighbour suggets going to college for the first time. So far so good, but then he joins a motorcycle group and he also falls for his teacher! Not very funny or consistent and really weak

It is well directed (boring movies aren't usually badly directed) but Tom Hanks should have directed a much better movie than this

Poor laughs, weak story, 'Larry Crowne' is just a really silly movie which won't be watched again

A muddled movie

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 20 December 2013 03:43 (A review of All About Eve)

'All About Eve' is being considered a[Link removed - login to see], I disagree with this, I wasn't very interested

'All About Eve' is a muddled movie which completely confused me, the cinematography, directing and acting are good but the plot could ruin the imagination of younger kids (the movie isn't for kids but received a U rating). The sound and quality is also rather poor.

Music is good and there is a small moment of movie history (like the ending of 'Cabaret') but I didn't really like the movie that much and if the poster had colour, why couldn't the movie have been the same? 'Gone With The Wind' was released 11 years earlier and they had the ability to tint it! 'All About Eve' is all black and white! Colour could've helped me understand what the hell was going on!

Goes on forever and gets boring

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 20 December 2013 12:46 (A review of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring)

I was looking forward to 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring', the first hour is great, the second hour is good - but after that, it gets really boring

'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' goes on forever and gets boring, it looked good, the story was good and there was a pretty good cast (Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Boom, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Ian Holm, Andy Serkis) but the huge let down of the movie is that it just never stops and eventually you get really bored

I liked the effects but I really don't remember seeing Gollum in it a lot and I like 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' a lot more

I'm hoping for 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' and the 'Lord of the Rings' sequels to improve over this as well, it's far from being a bad movie but it's also far from being a masterpiece and is way overrated in my opinion, can't really see why everyone loves it

I don't agree with Richard Roeper's review but I can see why he didn't like it - it goes on forever and ever

A decent spin-off

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 19 December 2013 09:12 (A review of Puss in Boots)

Puss In Boots was a character in the 'Shrek' sequels, voiced by Antonio Banderas, after 'Shrek Forever After' was made, a midquel to 'Shrek' and prequel to 'Shrek 2' was made

'Puss In Boots' is a decent spin-off to the 'Shrek' series; memorable characters, hilarious moments, awesome chases (like the one in 'Rango'), how can you forget it?

Confusing but decent

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 19 December 2013 09:08 (A review of Rango)

'Pirates of the Caribbean' was directed by Gore Verbinski, he then directed an animated movie with Johnny Depp in it called 'Rango' about a chameleon who ends up in a town called Dirt which needs a new sheriff

Confusing but decent, 'Rango' is a well animated movie with a fine voice performance by Johnny Depp and a good story and some awesome action! And we just can't forget Senor Flan, the hilarious narrator

In one scene, Rango changes colours which is something that Randall does in 'Monsters Inc.', that's because they're both chameleons! Kids, that is why they have a unique power!

Really terrible, completely boring and annoying

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 19 December 2013 03:53 (A review of Glitter)

The September 11 attacks occurred 10 days before the release of 'Glitter', and Mariah Carey blamed the attacks for keeping people away from cinemas. Though a film's overall gross doesn't define how good the film actually is (such as 'The Shawshank Redemption'), in this case, it's a bad film, and most of the people who have seen the film would agree. 

'Glitter' is a really terrible, completely boring and annoying flick, so they produce awful singing and an unbelievable cast

"Everybody out there, don't ever watch 'Glitter' anytime!" should be what Billie says before she sings, a worthless flick

'Yogi Bear' is a kid only entertainer

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 19 December 2013 01:34 (A review of Yogi Bear)

Hanna-Barbera cartoons have been made into a feature film several times (animated, live action, CGI and live action) but most of them are pretty worthless and 'Yogi Bear' is just not an exception!

'Yogi Bear' is a kid only entertainer; the story becomes boring after 5 minutes and the slapstick isn't usually very funny. Sure I liked the animation of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo and the sets and the cast (Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake, Anna Faris, Tom Cavanagh, T.J. Miller, Nathan Corddy, Andrew Daly) but the whole thing was just really boring and a bad movie

A badly animated, unoriginal flick

Posted : 10 years, 5 months ago on 18 December 2013 08:09 (A review of Aliens in the Attic)

'Aliens In The Attic' is a badly animated, unoriginal flick

The aliens are horribly animated, the plot is just really silly and unoriginal and the acting is pretty poor too, just watch a kid's movie that is actually a good movie for adults too

Boring, poorly acted and sometimes racist

Posted : 10 years, 5 months ago on 18 December 2013 07:59 (A review of Snow Dogs)

James Coburn died in 2002, he made many movies before dying of a heart attack, 'Snow Dogs' was one of his last

'Snow Dogs' is boring, poorly acted and sometimes racist; Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Coburn play a father and son - a black son and a white father which in a few scenes, people say "Yeah, it's obvious!" sarcastically which in my opinion is rather racist (do they allow discriminatory in a kids movie)

It is just so boring and the performances are terrible - the only exception being James Coburn; it was one of his last movies and a bad one too, but it completely wasted his talent, 'Snow Dogs' could brainwash small children immediately (with its spinner plots)

The only advantage of watching 'Snow Dogs' is that the scenes of ordinary America make you want to live in America more, a place where I'd like to go sometime soon

A shallow movie adaptation

Posted : 10 years, 5 months ago on 18 December 2013 04:06 (A review of The Beach)

Leonardo DiCaprio is a very good actor in movies like 'Titanic', 'Inception', 'Romeo + Juliet' and 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape', he tries hard in 'The Beach' but he can't help its badness

'The Beach' is a shallow movie adaptation of the novel, it started off fine but then it started to get more and more boring, it should be called The Bleach,

Not the worst movie ever but certainly a terrible and overrated movie, visually it wasn’t that bad and there was a decent cast but a very boring and worthless story, the reason it performed successfully at the box office was because of DiCaprio’s appearance in the masterpiece Titanic, but it doesn’t matter because it was destroyed by the critics
