I liked this one, and yes it came off as a somewhat weak precursor to the events of THE
CONJURING, but on it's own merits it provides just the added amount of terror that assist one in enjoying a good horror movie, without going vastly overboard.

Very colorful and well done film adaptation of the play, with equally intriguing, enchanting characters from various fairy tales. Loved the selection of songs that helped shape the story in this musical movie.

The latest installment of the STAR WARS saga has classic stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher join alongside newer stars, John Boyega, Oscar Issac, and Adam Driver, who plays the new villain of the film Kylo Ren. Star Wars is given a fresh new life with a new Director in J.J Abrams and this is a worthy continuation of the popular series. My small nipicks are that this was the first Star Wars to not feature a major spacebattle and also I felt it suffered from a weak villain in Kylo Ren. Im sure as the next chapters unfold, we will see the villain improve in formidability. Doesnt disappoint and is definately worth viewing.The latest installment of the STAR WARS saga has classic stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher join alongside newer stars, John Boyega, Oscar Issac, and Adam Driver, who plays the new villain of the film Kylo Ren.

The third installment in the Sharknado series sees our heroes once more battling the shark infested storms, and saving the world from destruction and devestation. NOTE: The ending to this does set up for a fourth movie.

A good as you can get it followup to the first Sharknado movie, with pretty much the same characters that populated the first movie. The setting is in New York, whereas the first was in California, but the central characters grow on you, even in the midst of such unbelievability of the events. If you liked part 1, then this one is up your alley.A good as you can get it followup to the first Sharknado movie, with pretty much the same characters that populated the first movie.

Really found this to be a thought provoking and absorbing story, with a credible cast of characters. Your emotions are with the title character as he suffers his ordeal of being unjustly imprisoned for 20 years, while life goes on without him. You also revel in his quest for revenge and to find out the reason he was in fact confined for such a long time. At the conclusion when the answers are revealed, it's a shocking plot twist, that leaves the viewer dumbfounded. Yes the film has violence but as opposed to just centralizing this movie to merely the fact that people are killed and brutalized in almost intense fashion, pay in mind that there's an amount of thought as to the motivation of the central character's revenge filled quest. Of interest to those who may have seen the original Korean version. A standout performance by Josh Brolin.Really found this to be a thought provoking and absorbing story, with a credible cast of characters.

In all my time as a film enthusiast Ive never ever turned a movie off after starting, but this one is the exception. I found it slow, mundane, plodding and Lisa Kudrow's character is such an annoying b*tch you'd wish someone would slug her.

Fascinating and a visually striking film which was also very well acted. True this was meant to cash in on the Hunger Games phenomenon, but in it's own right this movie stands on it's own. I was especially impressed with Kate WInslet playing a villianess role and she stepped up to the plate and delivered a knockout performance. Shailene Woodley was terrific in her first major breakout performance. I love sci fi of this type that usually takes place in a futuristic dystopian society, and this is one of the better genre entries of this generation. I recommend this be given a view or two.Fascinating and a visually striking film which was also very well acted.

Outstanding and very beautiful from a visual standpoint. Wonderful fantasy mixed with romance within a period setting. Russell Crowe was such a great villain and played off excellently against Colin Farrell's hero. These two had magical chemistry. I emotionally invested in the romance between Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay's tragic heroine. I also loved how Farrell's character interacted with the daughter and Mother, played by Jennifer Connelly, who is always a delight. Movies of this nature need time and patience for one to fully appreciate them, and such is the case with WINTER'S TALE.Outstanding and very beautiful from a visual standpoint.

Am a huge fan of Randy Savage the wrestler who was known as The Macho Man. Randy was a colorful and larger than life personality in professional wrestling and known for his signature catchphrases such as OOOOH YEAH, and DIG IT, the Macho Man blazed a trail like no other in his chosen profession. This book gives you just a taste of how Randy Savage began his career, and leads into his time in WCW. There is a new DVD set now called MACHO MAN: THE RANDY SAVAGE STORY and for the full account of Savage's career this set is recommended.

I saw this with friends, one of whom is an affectionado of Stephen King's work. I utilized alot of her insight to get more out of the movie than I would've on my own, but from we saw, it was good. The story does take time to develop, and you get the idea of each character's motivations, and this adds to the effectiveness of the story.I saw this with friends, one of whom is an affectionado of Stephen King's work.

I know this is one fear that any patient in a hospital about to undergo surgery would have. This film has the right amount of creepy undercurrent that's necessary to make this a very watchable story. In fact, at times it's diffuclt to turn away from the screen even if you want to. And you invent time and emotion in not only the tale being told, but the characters who are going through the experiences in the movie. A tried and true acting effort which shows that Hayden Christensen can hold his own in something other than being typed as Anakin Skywalker. Having Terrence Howard, Lena Olin, and Jessica Alba doesnt hurt matters either.

Enjoyable mixed blend of two genres, that of science fiction and western. Has it's fair share of action moments and one must admit, this is a different type of movie altogether. Very good when you consider that A. Some people proclaimed westerns as a dead genre, and B.having something unique can only be a positive in terms of filmmaking. I liked Harrison Ford in this one as he comes off as the crusty outlaw and Daniel Craig as the central hero is equally effective in the role of the hero. The usual CGI effects are to be expected, but it doesnt deter from this being a watchable movie.Enjoyable mixed blend of two genres, that of science fiction and western.

When you see a movie like this without expectations, and know that you arent going to get a celluloid classic, then you can appreciate and enjoy this for what it is. A fun way to spend an hour and a half. The effects arent the most believable, and even the acting at times can come off as atrocious, but movies like this arent about the acting. I sat down to this, and found myself laughing and getting enjoyment out of what I was seeing and I discovered that I was very entertained as well.

Absolutely amazing and very thought provoking film, which provides you with one small boy's perspective on what awaits us in Heaven and how he shares that experience with his parents and the community they live in. This is a film that leaves you with time for discussion following your viewing. Allows you to gain an insight into why we believe, and at the same time at times has us rethinking about things we thought we may know and that perhaps we may not have the full perspective on said views of God, Jesus, Heaven and angels. Strongly recommended.Absolutely amazing and very thought provoking film, which provides you with one small boy's perspective on what awaits us in Heaven and how he shares that experience with his parents and the community they live in.
