REVIEW: IN HER SHOES

 

     There are movies that you watch and you remember them forever. Then there are those that are forgetfull, yet still worth your while. This is one of those movies. Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette had awesome chemistry, and even as you left the theatre you were still convinced that in real life they were sisters. The actors supported each other really well and they blended nicely. But no doubt, it was still a chick flick. So males beware.

     Maggie and Rose are two sisters that couldn't be more different. You have Maggie, the ultra-party girl who craves on getting drunk and hooking up with guys. Then there's Rose, the sister that keeps things to herself and is more conservative, and when the two sisters clash everyone watch out!

     This film is a great showing of sibling rivalry, and also one of the best acted ones of the year. Toni Collette has had my attention ever since the movie 'About A Boy'. Toni bears the pain of having to carry the film because her character is central to the story, and she does a great job. She is convincing as the grumy older sister of Maggie. Shirley MacLaine is the ornery, estranged grandmother. The film starts kind of slow, but gets much better and eventually becomes worth the ticket admission. This shoe definatly fits.

 

I give this movie 4/5 stars ****5

 Hey! Thanks for visiting! Thursday nighrs is probably the best and worst night for television. It's the best because a bunch of TV shows come on, and it's the worst because you always have to choose one show over another. There is...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REVIEW: FLIGHTPLAN

 

     I've been a Jodie Foster fan for as long as I can remember. When I hear that she's going to be in a movie I expect the best of the best. And although the film was a major step down for the talented actress, it still wasn't half bad.

     When six year old Julia Pratt gets lost on an airplane at 30,000 feet in the air, her mother Kyle is thrown through an emotional loop of anxiety and confusion as she looks desperatly for her daughter. And with the flight attendants in disbelief that Julia ever boarded the plan, and the pilot getting frustrated with Kyle disturbing the passengers, the audience observes and sympathizes with a mother doing whatever she can to find her daughter, no matter what.

     The movie was good, but forgettable. Plus, it's very predictable. I guessed the ending at the beginning. Hard core fans of Foster will love it, but fans who know a good and bad movie will realize that is wasn't that great.

 

I give this movie a 2.5/5 stars **.5345

    

REVIEW: INTO THE BLUE

 

     Jessica Alba and Paul Walker were well casted, look wise. But when they opened their mouths, the chemistry just wasn't there. But I don't believe director John Stockwell cared about that, because the whole movie was a bunch of pretty people swimming. I mean, looks keep your interest for a second, but eventually you sit there wondering "Where's this movie going?"

     In the nice sand and ocean of the Bahamas lies two fortune hunters Jared and Sam. They're living their lives paycheck-to-paycheck, hoping to one day  get enough money to start a bigger and better life. But when their friend Bryce and his extended one-night-stand girl, Amanda come down for a visit, a routine diving excursion reveals a long lost pirate wreck, along with a crashed airplane with a cargo filled with cocaine. With thoughts of money flowing through their heads, the four start exploring the wreck farther, but when the lure of easy money typically associated with drug dealing proves too much, trouble starts to come out from every corner, threatening their find and the treasures that lie within.

     I wasn't impressed by this movie. Every once in a while, I'd be interested, but then Paul Walker would put his shirt back on and I'd be bored again =) Jessica Alba can do so much more, I just know it. And I'm waiting for her to take that one role that will prove her talent. I won't write that it was a good movie, but I will say that if you're into the "teen" type movies you'll probably like it.  Unfortunatly, I'm not one of those people.

 

I give this movie 2/5 stars **345

REVIEW: THE BROTHERS GRIMM

 

     Wow. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger must have been high. What were they thinking? Seriously. If the man who made the very first movie knew that this movie was coming, he would have never made his first movie. The script was awful so awful that sometimes I didn't even know what was going on. It was way to hard to follow. Character development was terrible. And don't even get me started on the cheezy special effects. I felt like I was watching 'The Wiggles'.

     The story revolves around the legendary German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Jake and Will  travell from village to village pretending to protect townspeople from enchanted creatures and pulling off exorcisms. But They're  put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse, requiring genuine courage.

     The movie is what I like to call the three B's. A Big Budget Bore. I don't think there was one thing that entertained me in this movie. I wanted to fall asleep after the first scene. This film  is possibly the worst movie of 2005.

 

I give this movie 1/5 Stars *2345

REVIEW: RED EYE

 

     It is a rare occasion when I am impressed or intrigued by a Wes Craven movie. This was one of these occasions. Rachel McAdams was the perfect casting for this role. The audience can't take their eyes off of her. Even when she's not on the screen you're wondering where she is and when she'll come back. I believe Mr.Craven owes Rachel a huge hug for the success of this movie.

     After the drama of attending the funeral of her grandmother in Dallas, Lisa Reisert must take the dreaded red eye flight back to Miami to make it to work the next day. After her flight is delayed, her day get a little better after Lisa soon meets Jackson Ripner and their attraction grows. But seconds after take-off, Jackson reveals to Lisa her father's wallet that his partner swiped off his desk and his real reason for being on board. Jackson needs Lisa's help to assasinate the deputy secretary of Homeland Security and his family who's scheduled to stay at the Lux Atlantic Hotel, the hotel Lisa is the manager of. If she refuses to help, Jackson will then call his partner on the ground and have her father killed. When you're at 30,00 feet, you have no where to run and no time for rash judgement.

     The tension in this movie is outstanding. Craven did a great job at getting the audience on the edge of their seat. It's one of those movies where you wished it never ended. But when it does, you leave satisfied. Actor Cillian Murphy, just as in 'Batman Begins', did a great job as the villian. But if he wants my advice, I'd go ahead and play another character before being typecast as the 'bad guy'. Getting typecasted at the beginning of a career is a real booger bear, and a hard one to run away from. All in all, this movie was decent. I would definatly recommend it. If Wes Craven continues to make movies like this, I will easily become a fan of his films. Don't let me down Wes.

 

I give this movie 3.5/5 stars ***.545
