An ambitious remake by our beloved Peter Jackson to remake the move that made him want to make movies in the first place, and it was everything you could want. Not only for the fact that it’s ridiculously entertaining, it’s just a great movie, who’s only real downfall is its length (which is a short …
Category: Movie Reviews
It seems like the only art that I have a really strong opinion about is movies. So I started off with a couple movie reviews a long time ago that are quite long, but eventually I moved to doing very short reviews, and eventually stopped doing them all together. But I may start again, but in any case here’s all the old reviews I did. I’ll do a 5 star system.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The adaptation of the C.S. Lewis classic, that I was quietly envious (I guess not so quiet now) of because I wanted to be the one who directed a new adaptation of the novel. But oh well. I’m not a popular filmmaker at the moment, so I wasn’t able to get the funding. Overall, I …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Real Review)
Okay, so this movie is definitely not the best movie ever, but in my opinion it’s the best of all the Harry Potter movies I’ve seen. I’ll give you one major reason why: No Quidditch!! Other than the very first scene, which was real quick. So I didn’t have to put up with anymore 15 …
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Best movie ever. Overall Rating: 7.5/5
Good Night, and Good Luck
Based on the true story of the media battle between Senator Joseph McCarthy and Newscaster Edward Murrow, George Clooney and company’s portrayal of the incident is nothing short of brilliant. David Strathairn will surely be nominated for best director, and hopefully the movie itself will be as well. Overall, I think the thing I enjoyed …
Cheaper by the Dozen
Well, the Baker family has 12 kids (a Baker’s dozen if you will), and Steve Martin is a Football coach(?). A relatively cute movie plagued by a lack of originality and a somewhat weak cast. I think the main thing I left thinking was “Wow, Hillary Duff really can’t act can she?” Her character and …
Land of the Dead
Can’t get enough of those zombies. And they can’t seem to get enough of my living flesh. I’m not sure if this will be George Romero’s last hurrah, but I’m not sure where else he can go from here. Land of the Dead appears to be a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, as the …
A History of Violence
The story about a man named Tom Stall who has a little more interesting history then he’s led everyone to believe. Complete with a few very graphic scenes of violence, a couple sex scenes that seemed to go on awkwardly long, and a plot twist that was a little too predictable for its own good. …
Seabiscuit
When I first of this movie coming out, I thought, “I could care less about Horse-Racing, and it’s got Tobey Maguire. Ugh.” However, Seabiscuit made me change my mind. Based on the bestselling novel by Laura Hillenbrand, Seabiscuit takes its audience through a captivating story of relentlessly clinging to hope, despite what the evidence says. …
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Based on the extremely witty graphic novel by the same title, this movie seemed like a sure fire winner. Never underestimate Hollywood’s ability to screw something up. Instead of focusing on the wit from the comic book, the movie makers decide to make the entire movie non-stop action, with about a combined total of 15 …
