Seriously amazing special effects - but they can compensate for what must rate as one of the most trivial, formulas, cheese, making plots sick forever? Do the writers-in fact the director set out to make history this bad? Or simply not care? Or do you think the public would relate to extra-large portions of cornball? Everything is here - child and parent re-union after years of not seeing eye, mother child hospital cancer care, children rich and poor boy who compete for the same girl, plots, characters and dialogue unearthed from Hollywood Reserve ‘cliches for directors and writers with CGI too busy to think of a story. “The only way that this garbage was working as a kind of pastiche of” The Towering Inferno and “Poseidon Adventure films Disasters of 70s.So, is returning to the special effects and surprises everyone - from hurricanes in Los Angeles, and the tsunami in Manhattan should be among the most spectacular things so far put on the screen.

Fast paced, very well filmed and acted - except for Chloe. I know he’s destined to be a fan of the computer and maybe Mary Lynn Rajskub is for interpretation by Asperger but she makes Chloe looks like it belongs in the nursery, especially his “thinking” face - women stop twitching!
He saw the seasons 1 to 4 - Yes, some of us out there! I’m afraid I’ve never been good with weeks of waiting to see the end. However, my daughter ordered the DVD and after 4 x 40 min episodes I’m hooked.
Its great not having to wait for the ads and event breaks allow pit stops! You only have to endure a brief break until the next album arrives.

This is a contender for worst movie I’ve ever seen. Despite the impressive production values and very well filmed that has no other positive features.
Hardly anything actually happens in this film, which is very unbelievable, cringe worthy and just bizarre for most of the time. It is inconsistent and gives the constant feeling of “WTF I missed a scene or something?” It feels like a comedy written by a person with a surreal or no sense of humor at all.
The bizarre fusion of slapstick and ridicule of a career with reduced mobility, mixed gay couple at the end completely missed the mark. Increasingly, I felt like throwing the TV out the window!
SJP please get off my screen and never return.

Just when you thought it was safe to watch a Jim Carey, this piece a pure compound film raises its ugly head. Carey was always (in his youth) no more than one dimension, but at least it was fun, or you could shrink for him if not laugh with or against him.
This movie is nothing but
less than a piece of dirt bored senseless. If this is Carey grown hope all managers soon realize they have no need of his dual personality clumsy m -idiot/look-at-me-I ineffective ‘more crazy character.
If anyone needs to see this kind of thing is done correctly, without having to resort to innuendo sewage and worse, see Jerry Lewis.

Phoenix and Witherspoon are excellent and the music is as good as could be expected (though still not as good as the originals), but this is ultimately just a very brilliant music biography like a million others we have seen in the television. Attractive enough to maintain interest (almost) all the way through, but not innovative or surprising in the least. Also, as with ‘Ray’, one should always be a little suspicious of biopics punished by their subjects (autobiopics?).
Even in cases that appear religious and ‘honest’, one must never forget that there may be some ulterior motive. Can it be coincidence that the reason for the “holy defective” is almost exactly the same in ‘Walk the Line “as in” Ray “?

not meet the expectations of other positive comments, unfortunately. Great potential in the plot, but Cate Blanchett and parts of the silly schoolboy lover and 2-dimensional - I had little patience / sympathy for his “reckless / Beautiful (empty-headed)” character (s **** ing the boy repeatedly in the classroom by the love of God) - not only was possible in the way it was written.
And his overall gross infidelity against the fun
and happiness portrayed in scenes of the family, and devotion to her Down syndrome child - naah! Of course, Judi Dench played very convincingly, and what an unpleasant character he was. In general left with an unpleasant taste, not just her but also the falsity of Blanchett’s character and the ease with which destroyed her family - as I said, could have been done convincingly, but not this time.

Enjoy the best elements of Star Wars, Alien, Blakes 7, Buffy, and Unforgiven, decorated with sprays of various comic books, mix ‘em all up, and you get “Firefly”. Created by the man behind Buffy the TV series was canceled by the network even before it got going. Why is a mystery: this is better than brilliant Buffy.It ’s basic premise is a spaceship captain bitter (I think one grumpy Hans) trying to earn enough money to maintain fuel supply rust bucket of a ship and its crew of smuggling dubious food taking jobs, while avoiding the hated government / authorities who fought a war that his team lost.
It is also very interested in executing the mobsters who betrayed, or the terrifying, murderous, psychotic “Reavers”. His team includes fellow first (which is basically Chewie in human form, female), muscle (which is pretty much Aliens Hudson), a hippy mechanic (that Willow crossed with the data) and a prostitute - in this universe is a respectable profession. They are joined by an old preacher, a doctor and the doctor’s sister, who was born “gifted” and taken by the authorities of “evidence” that has left half crazy and prone to cryptic predictions (think the girl crossed Minority Report with Wolverine).
Everything is done much in a Western style: have guns, bullets, bar-room fights, and planets you land on all those who have look.This border is TV quality and should be a must for any fan of sci - fiction.

Good Bloke movie no-brainer. Jason Statham is still a very competent action hero and maneuver sequences are first order.
The film will not win any prizes, but anyone who enjoyed the original and will not be disappointed, as I will wait for the next for this franchise. Only criticism was that the wicked risable and even includes being much better Jason Flemyng. Worst of all, and although poor Matthew Modine really amazing, I can only assume that he was the jetlag, as each line that says, badly delivered and made us laugh when we saw the movie.
You know exactly what you get when you rent this and if you like the genre you will be very satisfied but not the wind.

T I personally could not stand this movie, its kinda funny, arrogant and totally not my type of movie. I have only 55 minutes and was the boredom of me.
Mind you have a very strong and reliable cast that knows to put in some decent performances. This is just one of those films that you know your really smart and one of his top off. What a load of rubbish, I was not even funny and it is likely that the bee to get some smart nerd jokes, is not for everyone gets that way.
Why cannot they just good honest drama over this shit instead of smart. 2 of 5 Stars
