First off, it should be stated that Ninja Assassin is highly enjoyable. However, it is enjoyable because of the fact that it is so heavy-handed in its narrative that it feels rather like the director and/or writer is lobbing a brick at your head ( Read more... )

So, I recently started watching Glee and in general I really like it and think it's a fun and interesting show. However, a few nights ago Ryan and I were talking and I realized something: there are no good main female role models in this show and there are very few male ones (in fact, I can only think of one). Now, I understand wanting to show ( Read more... )

A movie with great promise (it was written by the woman who wrote Juno), Jennifer's Body turned out to be horribly disappointing. The basic plot revolves around Needy (Amanda Seyfried) who narrates the story of how her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox) becomes a man-eating demon. Not necessarily an original plot, although interesting because it ( Read more... )

Carny is one of those bad horror movies that, unfortunately, somehow gets made despite its horrible plot. Basically, the story follows a carnival that buys a creature that likes to kill people and it escapes and *gasp* starts killing people. The acting is awful as one would expect of a straight-to-DVD horror movie, and the special effects are sub ( Read more... )

First off, I should preface this review by saying that the effect of this Korean horror movie was ruined because of the fact that I saw the American remake, The Uninvited, first. That being said, I think that if I hadn't seen the remake first, I think the twists would have caught me by surprise (one of them still did, because the remake isn't ( Read more... )

It's easy to see why Goldie Hawn was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in this movie; not only does she run the whole gamut of emotions but she does so in a way that draws you in and has you cheering for her. Private Benjamin follows Goldie Hawn's character, Judy Benjamin, as her life falls apart and, thanks to a lying army ( Read more... )

A sub par comedic action movie, Bird on a Wire follows the story of Marianne (Goldie Hawn) as she meets the fiance (Mel Gibson) that she thought was dead and was actually in witness protection. Overall, the comedy wasn't there (I think I laughed once) and the action was nothing impressive. The chemistry between Hawn and Gibson wasn't really there ( Read more... )

A very cute story, 17 Again follows the adventures of Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) as he becomes 17 (played by Zac Efron) and, as is usual with these stories, learns what a douche he really was and changes for the better. The movie doesn't bring anything new to the age-changing storyline, but it does do it fairly well. There were many moments ( Read more... )

Duplicity is a vastly boring "thriller" starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts as spies that are trying to steal a formula from one pharmaceutical company for another. oh, and they're in a relationship with each other, even though they act like they're not. I use the term "act" very loosely, as it was one of the worst, most stilted performances I ( Read more... )
