Underworld: Awakening (2012)
Sucked, but in a great way...
I was waiting in anticipation in finally watching ''Underworld Awakening'' not sure what to expect after reading the reviews posted here, as a matter of fact i was preparing myself for an unfortunate disappointment..Im a HUGE fan of the underworld series and rate them all highly so if ''Awekening'' was not up the previous standard i was not going to be happy..So here we go, it is GREAT!!!! Yes it has changed direction which is why most viewers/fans have been shocked and disappointed, and the ending is surely the beginning of the next ''Underworld'' which i found superb..Lets face it after 3 ''Underworlds''why not add new direction, i found the action mind blowing and Kate Beckinsale HOT as usual and it still had the feel of the others so i suggest sit back and enjoy..
Another Earth (2011)
Earth moving
So i only heard of 'Another Earth' by accident and very recently, the story and idea grabbed my attention as this is 'generally' my type of movie but of course i have been let down more than once. Without too much expectation i sat down and to a nice quiet evening to hopefully enjoy the viewing..Well!!! i was completely and utterly blown away from what i consider a masterpiece: pure story,pure dialogue and emotion which simply had my full attention at an instance. The movie brings you back to a time where the whole idea of a movie was simply to have you feel involved and made to feel you were actually there. If you want a typical Hollywood movie with gun and bombs and sex to make it worth seeing, forget it but if you want a movie to grab you and full of emotion this is it. The movie doesn't rely on background sound or music which proves already its of a superior level..I suggest everyone sees this movie if you are in deed a purist and lover of a 'real' movie.
The Descent: Part 2 (2009)
Wow!!!!
I was honestly ready for this movie to be a complete fail for a film not only because of several different reviews iv read but also because of other movies that try making a second and change the setting and the main characters but keep the story in which the descent 2 did not do. They used the same actresses, the same setting, they did not change anything or add anything unnecessary they just sent a search party after the climbers which is realistically what they would do. On top of that it let's you know what happens to Juno since you don't see her die in the first one. It takes place a couple days after they all went out so it doesn't just randomly start somewhere. And they are underground blind creatures, I think people expect and just want to see extremely epic deaths but think about their surroundings and the creatures nature, the are limited to what they can do and how they kill you. I was ready for this movie to be a let down, it's been in mi face and I wasn't going to watch it because I didn't want to be disappointed but I finally decided to watch it and I'm really happy I did. I would say if you like the first one, watch it. In my opinion it doesn't take it to far.
The Burning Bed (1984)
A scary truth
What an incredible movie, i was told to watch this movie as I'm a fan of Farrah Fawcett. I was truly moved for one great acting and two how disturbing i found this story to be especially as it is a true story. We all know domestic violence occurs but to see it like this made me feel uneasy and even angry. I loved every minute and felt at ease and happy when his room/bed was lit knowing it was the end of a scums life. Sometimes we need to take matters into our own hands and not allow things to simply let be and this was a case that made me feel great to see someone pay the ultimate price for giving undue harm to an innocent woman..If you want to see a brilliant if not somewhat disturbing movie about domestic violence, get this one.
Johnny Cool (1963)
Johnny Cool is way cool..
I finally got to watch Johnny Cool for the first time today and i was so surprised how great this movie is, i can honestly say its way way ahead of its time and had me glued for the entire 101 minutes. Im a huge fan of Elizabeth Montgomery and watched a few of her performances outside Bewitched (which i love) hadn't been able to find a copy until recently. Its a top casted movie and many of the past greats are found here in this classic gangster style movie which all played a great part and don't think Elizabeth Montgomery ever looked more beautiful. Its starts with a great building foundation from the old country and then gets right into the gangster style it very well succeeds at. I strongly suggest everyone who is a fan of the beautifully talented Elizabeth Montgomery or simply anyone who enjoys a great classic 10/10..i hope this movie and all that had Elizabeth Montgomery star in become available for us to buy on DVD or even better blu-ray. Johnny Cool is up there with the BEST of the classics and it deserves to be presented to us completely restored to be enjoyed forever. Once again i have no problem in giving this a 10/10 for enjoyment and pure talent.. If anyone has a good copy can you please let me know..Thanks
Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
Heart warming
I had never heard of this movie until last night when a friend invited me over and said i just had to see this movie. Im a dog lover so i knew there would be a chance of liking it. Well!!! This was one of the best movies I've ever seen showing how the friendship/love between a dog and its owner ever. I struggled to keep myself from crying as the story unfolded and we see how this remarkable dog idealizes its owner with unconditional love. Just the thought that this is a true story makes it so heart warming and if the whole world would treat each other with the love/respect as a dog does for its owner we would so much better off.I think anyone that loves dogs/pets should definitely see this as its the BEST movie especially of its type I've ever seen..
Bewitched (1964)
Bewitched Forever
I grew up as a child watching Bewitched and was loved it so much, as an adult i have found myself totally Bewitched by this TV sitcom and i can truly say its one of the best series of all times. Elizabeth Montgomery stars as a witch who marries a mortal and tries to live a normal mortal live without the use of witchcraft however has to resort to using it to get herself or Darrin out of all sorts of trouble in their day to day living. This series brings warmth, love and laughter to us in a way no other series has and i still re watch it every chance i have and also own the complete DVD box set. Im also so happy to see the new generation taking a liking to it which will hopefully keep this series forever alive.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
X Men makes spectacular viewing
I finally watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine today not too sure what to expect hoping for at least traces of the quality of the previous X Men movies which i love. Let me tell you that i was blown away by this incredible movie and dare i say was the best out of the series. It is action packed and the story line is superb, I was glued to the TV without wanting even to look away for a moment scared id miss something. I found X-Men Origins: Wolverine far more entertaining than Watchmen and several so called blockbusters.Whether you're are an x-Men fan or not do yourself a favor and watch this, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised...
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)
Blood at its best
Im A huge fan of the Underworld movies so perhaps my opinions may be biased, however this movies was great overall, more of a story telling to it with good action and nice amount of blood and gore..The feel of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is certainly different giving almost a medi evil feel and had what i thought a darker feel..I cant wait till its available to purchase as it will sit well with my other Underworld movies. To anyone who hasn't seen or isn't into the underworld movies or perhaps into vampire movies at all please leave your mind open and I'm sure you'll still enjoy it, I've seen many a movie supposed to a smash hit fall way way behind this movie, I'm giving this 10/10 because i enjoyed it immensely and especially as not many prequel can pull it off as well as Underworld: Rise of the Lycans has..its not tacky or cheap but a well thought of story backed by great acting and continued the fantastic Underworld story, keep the Underworlds coming i say
Jumper (2008)
good jump start
I hadn't watched this movie due to the ratings on IMDb until the other night we decided to have a blu-ray night and it was up to me in the choice of movie to hire, well i decided to pick jumper out of the 30 blu -ray movies on hire thinking I've perhaps about to waste 90 min of my life. Well what a pleasant surprise this movie was, i have no idea what the others are expecting rating this movie low, geez, a block buster or the best film in the world???? No its not, but its a fun filled action movie that never stops entertaining and with great effects all the way through, acting was great, the plot was great and i entertained for the full 90 min. I've watched so called block buster movies that have had 8/10 plus ratings and have just about fallen asleep watching them just because they SHOULD be good movies..If you want 90 min of great action, a good and different story line that will keep you focused for the entire movie hire JUMPER, you wont be disappointed...
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)
my hands are a weapons
This is easily one of my favorite movies EVER, i wish more lighthearted movies that are funny and warm like this were made. i watch this over and over and have never grown tired of it. It has a bit of everything in it and the whole family can enjoy it and any level or age..Don Knotts was an absolutely one off and his humor will not ever be repeated, i honestly recommend this movie to anyone seeking an honest funny warm movie that you'll remember for a long time if not forever.In summary its fun fun fun for all...I hope everyone who watches this movie enjoys it as much as i have, as i still haven't been able to find another that gives me that good feeling after watching it..............
Ghost Ship (2002)
ghostly fun
Fantastic movie....... I was put off a long time ago when a it was released at the movies because of its not so good reviews, well i was so surprised how good movie it was, good fun and good mild horror/ghostly scenes that make it easy to watch and enjoy. Action from the start to the very end. I've been watching a few movies lately which have had good reviews only to be let down by them, namely "children of men" which is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. the acting is great, the characters fitted well in and i strongly suggest this movie to any one looking to spend 90 odd mins watching a good DVD
The Illusionist (2006)
no illusion, this movie is fantastic
i was told about this movie quite a while back and couldn't wait to see if it lived up to its expectations. Well it is easily one of the best films I've seen in a hell of a time, its just shows that great movies can still be made especially that don't involve sex or things being blown up. its a great classic well written and acted movie thats you feel fantastically rewarded once you've seen it. its got mood, classic story line and heart, definitely see this movie if you enjoy true great made movies not movies that become popular because the most popular actors or actresses are in getting their gear off or buildings are cars are being blown up ( seen it a million times) this is true perfect enjoyable viewing and don't get me wrong their is still great actors and actresses namely Jessica beil ( wow wow, stunning) so go get this DVD, grab a coffee and sit back and enjoy
The Secret (2006)
Don't be fooled
I watched this utter bit off proved rubbish when it was on TV after i was told to by an acquaintance. I have all my life as most of us all done my best to be a good honest positive thinking person and at the age of almost 40 seen absolutely no evidence of the theory mentioned on this profit making rubbish. I have only seen moderately successful people earn their money by sweat and guts. I work very very hard and have only ever made a decent wage and thats all.. I am so positive about success and have tried other means to become successful but only the deceitful,criminal,lying back stabbers become wealthy. Im not saying not to be positive after all if you don't how do ever even stand a chance however please don't expect cheques to all of a sudden appear in your letter box( you have to be an absolute moron to say this on TV or even sillier to believe it can happen, where or who do these cheques come from? Bill Gates or Donald Trump just deciding to pop cheques in you post ha ha ha, how stupid do u think we are) so don't think about bills coming to you, yeah sure, now because im a positive thinker my gas bill and my phone bill wont ever be posted to me...Really!! Im have a large group of honest positive minded friends who at around my age also have not seen an ounce of evidence to support this money robbing scheme. Thousands have been spent by them including the positive thinking Anthony Robbins course and continuing cds. which has not helped them become the theory you can become anything you want to be and as rich and as healthy etc. If you want the absolute minimum in life you must work your guts out, if you wish to be wealthy or rich you must be deceitful or a crook or just plain lucky you have a business idea that works( but it happens to only a very few people) please do not be conned into this hype and believe me if you think about always having that car park ready for you when you want it, it wont be their unless it is reserved for you to buy another gimmicky product from these wealthy rich scavengers.. positive thinking can also rid of cancer from you without the help of medical help, you have to be a fool to even contemplate that and need mental help to even think that could happen. The group of people doing this show should all be looked up for trying to miss guiding people or fraud
Last Mysteries of the Titanic (2005)
lasting mysteries
I couldn't wait until i received this DVD after ordering it from amazon. Well, in the first two days i watched it twice and what can i say except that this is the best documentary if the TITANIC wreck available. I've been a TITANIC enthusiast for a long time and love anything to do with the subject and this movie drew me even closer to the allure of the ship. The documentary goes where no one has been before and the quality is superb making you feel like you are part of the exhibition. They enter the Turkish bath room which is overwhelming also james cameron takes us to the straus's room and seeing the clock still in its place is breathless. The equipment they use is state of the art which gives you the feel of being there with the crew... If you love the TITANIC, you'll love this documentary
The Prestige (2006)
magically spectacular
I went to see the prestige expecting to see a good movie, what i didn't expect was to be totally blown away by what i think is the best movie I've seen in a long time. as a mater of fact its easily one of the top 5 movies I've seen in my life. The story telling is fantastic memorising you from the very instant to the end of the fantastic dark conclusion. it was great to see finally a movie of this calibre come onto the screen as im sure every one is sick of the rubbish that has been shown of late. obviously once again portions of the movie have been made to try and imitate or copy the powers of steve and steve's powers of the trevix. we must all realise that although many people have tried unsuccessfully, delving into the powers of trevix is dangerous and steve and steve's powers cannot be matched by anyone on this universe or any other... they are genuinely the super powers from the planet trevixon
Rose Red (2002)
good head
rose red is a great film that gets your full attention for the full 4 hours..the story is great in instantly you feel part of the group inside the old mansion. if you are right into this type of house possession/ghost movies, this is one you definitely need to watch.. the acting isn't over the top giving you a sense of realism... if you're looking for an demonic feel to a movie this is it. i cannot compare it to the normal cheesy type of horrors been made...only "rose red" and "the others" are the two movies of this caliber i watch.... next time you have an afternoon or evening free, turn down the lights, close the doors and enjoy to be spooked..
A Night to Remember (1958)
a movie to remember
As a titanic enthusiast i can say that this is a remarkable film. Its the most accurate film of the titanic which gives a lasting memories of the fatal accident of 1912. Apart from the obvious error of the christening everything else is as was the splitting of the ship was still in argument at that time)and from the view of some of the survivors it was not so obvious.)For the time the effects were great and the acting was first class giving the viewer an almost feeling of being present...if you haven't seen this movie and are a titanic buff or just have an interest in the ship or history value, go and hire or purchase this movie
Sideways (2004)
boring boring boring
without a doubt this is easily one of the worst movies I've seen in my life. i think the other movie worse than this was code 49. it was so bad i couldn't believe anything like this could possible make it the movies. i was recommended by a friend to watch this and after seeing it i wondered to myself if he meant this to be an awful prank ,or to see me waste an evening in front of my TV. so slow, so boring, such a pathetic story line. i think even the actors realized this as it showed through their performances. please rent a different movie, this is terrible. i still cant believe how bad it is. i gave it 1 because thats the lowest score available
Cars (2006)
fast fun
i couldn't wait to see this movie and i was so surprised how enjoyable it was. as an adult i look forward to these movies as much as children. too often now movies are made thinking we need only to see bombs going off or seductive or erotic scenes, ( don't get me wrong, i enjoy them too). but animations such as cars gives you such a good smile and feel after watching it which what is missing these days. a very smooth story line which can easily be related in many other circumstances, beautiful animation. now that i have been so impressed with cars, i think i may get down to my local DVD store and start watching other animations i have not yet seen.......... do yourself a favor, go see this movie
Titanic (1997)
one of the greatest movies of all time
one of the best movies of all time. how anyone could give it anything less than a nine must have been watching something else. comments made about the love story been over done has got to realize this IS a movie not a minute by minute detail of the sinking of the titanic yet a movie giving us a beautiful story that fitted perfectly with actual accounts of the disaster. i have watched the DVD 5 times so far and many more to come. if someones wants actual details of the sinking of the titanic there are other fantastic dvds available which give absolute details of how and why the great ship sank. but enjoy the titanic for what it genuinely offers which is a beautiful story on board one of the all time greatest disasters of all time
