“World without End”

GirlFriendTess — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 8:04:42 AM -0500

Early 14th century lifestyle including Kings and Queens, Bishops and cardinals, commoners and aristocrats, deceit and death, just what one would expect of the times. Witchcraft, selling children, murder, rape (and nudity) and mayhem with a depiction of a time I wouldn’t want to revisit as a woman … and all well done. (Pretty graphic so don’t be squeamish. World Without End - full trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvDP_opSbzA

Prometheus

GirlFriendTess — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 8:37:37 AM -0500

I don’t normally watch TV just as I don’t normally listen to talk radio any more. I review numerous documentaries and try to the best of my abilities filter out at least some of the BS. I also enjoy watching movies as well and anything new in SF. I just watched ‘Prometheus’ (NetFlix rental) and though I enjoyed the movie, I saw little difference than a remake on Aliens I if at an earlier time. I like to think that people of any sound reasoning would just know better than ...

A Knight’s Tale

BoobzTwo — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 1:05:22 PM -0400

A Knight’s Tale, hehehe Just watched this movie again and it is still a favorite of mine. You have to love a movie concerning knights and such … especially with a human wave in the beginning. This movie gives us a new perspective on the art of courtly dancing, hahaha. I don’t want to tell you much more (don’t want to ruin it), but the life’s lessons therein are spot on. It demonstrates how power and status can both be used for good and bad … sort of the s...

Movie Review - 2012

Bunnahabhain — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:15:31 PM -0400

I went out with a couple of friends to see this movie on opening night – Friday the 13th. It was only the second movie that I’ve seen in the theatre this year, with the first one being Star Trek . Now that was a good movie! 2012 however, sucked – big time. How bad was it, you ask? The story was completely implausible and the acting was even worse. The special effects couldn’t save the movie either. While well done, they were just the same thing ove...

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame

utemia — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 8:15:23 AM -0500

Recently I watched this little treasure *cough* with my 9, 6 and 4 year old nephews and niece. Has any of you watched this film? It is _NOT_ for children - at all. The plot has murder in it, tons of violence like attempted burning of villagers inside their own house, a merciless hunt for Esmeralda with the accompanying burning down of Paris, a song where Claude Frollo sings about hell and damnation and his obcession with Esmeralda and why he wants to kill her, all painted in red and with flames....

Generals

Adewi-R — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 9:13:15 PM -0500

Like it or indulgence that there are limits, in this case so corpulent that requires us to be in the front line for a private and public progress, fleeting general view, we only know that there but for the advanced course was considered very difficult, because for forward that means dealing with the advanced world. Should become the standard of living is to be careful to personal comfort and all the people ... Hopefully will become an inspiration for all.

GI Joe - No Longer the American Hero

jdkeepsmiling — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 7:36:20 PM -0400

We knew that it was going to be bad. So bad in fact, that the movie was not screened for reviewers ahead of time. This is a sure sign that the studio knows the movie will be trashed by reviewers. But we went anyway. We went fully knowing the experience would probably be grueling and mind-numbing. Dissapointed we were not, expectations were fully met. To give you some history here, I, like many other men my age, grew up watching GI Joe every Saturday during my formative years. I used ...

Reviews, reviews, and more reviews

terpfan1980 — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 1:05:10 AM -0400

Some more recent movie watching leads me to a few more movie reviews and a couple of technology product reviews for those that might be interested. The technology product review may interest some road warrior types or others that have to keep track of receipts and expenses, so I'm gonna cover that one first, then jump into the movies. The first technology product that I want to mention is the NeatReceipts portable scanner system . As mentioned above, if you are a road war...

Angels and Demons Review (Spoilers)

erathoniel — Tue, 19 May 2009 6:44:28 PM -0400

Angels and Demons is a violent film. And I'm not just referring to the shoot and kill, either. With the one exception of romance, there is every type of passion in this film, and plenty of it. Emotion, intellect, and brute force come together to make one great movie experience. Some good things in Angels and Demons were practically everything. Wonderful quality and presentation mix to bring an enthralling, engaging experience. The special effects and light science-fiction feel at some points ...

A few recent reviews

terpfan1980 — Sun, 17 May 2009 3:27:12 PM -0400

I'm gonna stick with the relatively lazy approach and refer folks that are interested over to Amazon.com to see the more detailed versions of things. Partly because once I post a review at Amazon it becomes Amazon's property, and also because it doesn't make a lot of sense to take the time to come up with new words to say the same things. I'm most definitely not a Thesaurus. First up, one of my favorite comedies is the baseball movie: Major League . I love the lovable l...

Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri Says - Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

pankajspider — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 4:27:22 AM -0500

The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been ...

I am Legend: Movie Review

momijiki — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 8:48:53 AM -0500

It's nice to finally see a movie where the trailers are intruiging but don't end up being the best part of the film. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the movie because the trailers I saw were a bit coy about the reason for this apocalyptic world presented in the movie. A little googling and checking out some movie reviews and the discovery that it was due to a virus made this movie a must-see for me. I have long been a fan of plots where viruses have or will potentially end civil...

A couple of movies that are worth catching...

terpfan1980 — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 1:49:14 PM -0500

Over the last few days I got a chance to catch a couple of films, one on the big screen, and one that I really wish I had seen on the big screen (but enjoyed the luxury of watching on Blu-ray). First up, the film Defiance with Daniel 'James Bond' Craig in a starring role, along with Liev Schrieber and others that aren't as easily recognized. The film is about real life events back during World War II, with Craig playing Tuvia Bielski and Schrieber playing his brother Zus. ...

Zack and Miri

terpfan1980 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 8:28:11 AM -0500

A friend and I caught the new Kevin Smith film Zack and Miri make a Porno on the weekend just passed. I have to say it was pretty funny, though I'd also caution anyone that goes to see it that there's a pretty disgusting (funny, but disgusting) scene in the later half of the film. For anyone that is planning to see it and hasn't yet, STAY THROUGH THE CREDITS. There's some bonus material tossed in that doesn't show up until after the credits have run. Most people seem to be m...

Movies on disc, a few reviews

terpfan1980 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 4:19:14 PM -0400

A couple of recent movies on disc to consider: Leatherheads ; Run, Fatboy, Run ; and Speed Racer . First up, Leatherheads . George Clooney's look at the early days of professional football in the U.S. The quick summary: rent-it. Ok, but not great. Probably more entertaining to football fans. With that one out of the way, lets move on to Run, Fatboy, Run . I enjoyed this one a lot, though I have to say that part of why I watched it was beca...

Out of the rabbit hole with a few reviews...

Hancock: lots of fun (and bad language) spoilers possible after initial article

terpfan1980 — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 8:57:33 AM -0400

Just back from a sneak preview of Hancock compliments of Best Buy (thanks again for the tix Best Buy!). My teen daughter and I both enjoyed it a lot. I won't post open spoilers here in the initial article, but wanted to say a few things about the film. #1. Parents may wish to exercise extra caution before taking youngsters to this one. I'm not sure of the rating, but I'm guessing R, almost entirely on language. Language included many references to a--hole, and a few other words tossed in...

Wanted - quick movie review

terpfan1980 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 8:57:23 AM -0400

I made it to the theatre to see the new film Wanted today, starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and others. Except for problems with the the projection system in the theatre that made the video go out at inopportune times, I enjoyed it a lot.

Jalsa Review

jalsatruth — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 4:00:29 AM -0400

Jalsa Movie Review Click here - Give your rating ( Started on 8th April ) Chiranjeevi Politcal Party Review It is full and full entertainer. The narration of the movie is outstanding. It could be a case study for the film institutes on how to make a film with a small line of story. It is really fun to listen from lot of review makers on line who are banging about the story. I don't know why they are not able to see the truth that there is no story in lot of block...

Becoming Jane on Blu-ray disc

terpfan1980 — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 1:26:31 AM -0500

With thanks to Netflix (who will soon be finding me cancelling my membership with them thanks to their decision to move away from the HD DVD format, but I digress...), I just sat and watched the film Becoming Jane with my wife. I try hard not to 'blind purchase' or buy some discs 'cold' as I just don't know in advance if I'll find enough value in the movie and extras on the disc to make it one that I would want to watch again and again, or more importantly, to make it one that I woul...

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

terpfan1980 — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 4:47:16 PM -0500

LOL, it's been several years since I last watched Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, but Comedy Central just had it showing and with nothing else that I really wanted to see, I left it playing in the background while I was playing some games on my Xbox 360. I had forgotten just how smart and funny that movie was. Very, very funny actually. Hopefully it'll come out on HD DVD or Blu-ray soon and I'll wind up grabbing a copy in one of those formats as I normally don't much ...

The Kingdom on HD DVD (combo format)

terpfan1980 — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 1:31:04 PM -0500

Compliments of rental from Blockbuster Online (Blockbuster.com), I was finally able to get a copy of the movie The Kingdom on HD DVD. I'd been waiting impatiently for a copy since it was released over a month ago, with Netflix never able to deliver, or at least with them telling me that it was going to be a very (seemingly you could add about 2 more ", very"'s in there) long wait. The Kingdom is a hybrid/crossover type film that mixes action and drama to tell a tale of an act of terrori...

Rush Hour 3 on Blu-ray

terpfan1980 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 3:58:41 PM -0500

I hope my sub title didn't chase you off from the review already, though I suppose it sums up a bit of what this particular movie is like. Wait, I am getting ahead of myself, and I really don't mean to. About the movie... Let me start by saying that the movie isn't too bad, but it really does stretch the Rush Hour movie series about as far as it can go. The same basic plot, the same basic formula, everything that we saw in the first two Rush Hour movies is dredged up to be re...

Good Luck Chuck on Blu-ray disc

terpfan1980 — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 4:32:19 PM -0500

With thanks to Blockbuster Online, I just finished watching Good Luck Chuck on Blu-ray disc. One of a few movies that Blockbuster.com was able to ship out to me this past week. Good Luck Chuck was a Lions Gate film (small studio), who happened to be aligned with the Blu-ray said in the high definition movie disc format wars. Not having seen the movie in the theatrical run, I did want to see it in high def format, and was curious how the movie would do on Blu-ray disc. ...
