****

An excellently acted and directed movie, although it might not be for everyone.

***

Me Too. Script not worth a full lenght motion picture. Though the story line is pretty true to the small screen.

*****

Excellent movie, both touching and funny. Great acting by Merry Streep among others. Just plain fun. It helps if you are an Abba fan.

**

An animated Star Wars saga, the reason for which escapes me. Not worth the effort, stay with "real" stuff.

**

A mediocre script with some mediocre acting. Not one of his best efforts.

***

A very disturbing film, with some good acting. Not for the faint of heart.

***

The fun continues, unfortunately a weak script and missing chemistry between the actors really hurts the movie.

****

A well done Western, with some good acting and a good script.

*****

Excellent, dark, funny, plenty of action, and a great roles for both Bale, and the late Heath Ledger

*

Well worth missing.

*

Another Eddie Murphy movie which misses its mark, whatever it may have been.

*****

Great movie, excellent acting by Tommy Lee Jones and Chalize Theron, and a small but moving role for Susan Sarandon.

*****

I haven't laughed this hard in years, and I had to see it in Spanish!! Well worth watching regardless of age.

****

A sweet and moving film, which although not the one the best from Pixar still worth watching.

***

A mixed film which has some great effects but a bit short on script. Although I liked Charlize Theron in her role.

**

A couple of good laughs, unfortunately no real chemistry and in the end pretty predictable.

The Happening

*

A few wrenching scenes amid some lackluster acting and directing, with a lousy script.

***

Plenty of action, and some good effects.

***

A few pretty funny scenes with a predictable ending. Ashton makes it work though, and proves he is funnier than Diaz anyday.

**

Lousy script with plenty of special effects, which in the end can't save the movie.

**

If you are a fan of the series you will like this. Basically a 90 minute clothing/shoe commercial.

The Savages

***

A poignant, funny and macabre movie all at the same time. Worth a look.

The Oxford Murders

**

An uneven acting and script make this a disappointment.

***

A pretty depressing film, though well made and acted. A film which will raise quite a few disturbing questions.

***

A original if disturbing premise well played out, with some good twists.

Mendoza, Argentinia

*

It almost hurt to give this star studded cast such a low rating. Unfortunately a lousy script, and some home movie quality shooting didn't leave me a choice.

***

A dramatic film with too many questions and too few answers.

****

The third best of the four indi films. Got 4 stars just because I like the series and it is good to see him back. Not to mention that Karen Allen looked like she really was having fun.

**

A beautiful period piece, with lots of steamy action, but I found it a bit long and boring. Story is prettty thin but some good acting.

***

Fast & furious police drama. Some hamfisted acting, but enjoyable neverhteless. Not for the faint of heart (viloence).

**

Horror movies just don't seem to be what they once were. This was neither scary nor suspensful, and after an hour the ending was clear.

Gregory Hoblit

***

A promising if disturbing film which is seriously hurt by the ending, which I found too quick and true to formula.

****

A very colorful film, which I found a lot of fun to watch. The story is simple and the action is pretty consistent with the original animation. It might help if you are a fan of the series, in which case you have to watch this twice (as I will).

**

An entertaining if a bit long and confusing story. Not having read the books, I found the character a bit shallow and not all that well rendered.

**

Too little chemistry too little humour, too little of anything to make it interesting.

****

There are some really hilarious moments, tempered with some pretty sick gags. Nevertheless a well done and overall funny film

***

A so so film, which should have been much better. Again, too predictable to really be something special.

***

A convoluted and not all that well written (pretty predictable) film. Too bad I am not a fan of Jude Law or it might have been better.

Iron Man

****

An enjoyable film, good effects and pretty good script. Fun all around.

***

An intense film with Judy Dench and Cate Blanchett, which I found pretty disturbing at times. Nevertheless well acted and directed.

***

A satyrical drama, which I found pretty decent thanks to Laura Linney and Scarlet Johanson both who did a good job with mediocre material.

Mr. Woodcock

***

Billy Bob Thorton and Susan Sarandon make this a worthwile movie, although there are only a couple of really good laughs..

King of California

***

A lightweight comedy which doesn't really know if it should be funny or dramatic and thereby fails to be either.

*****

Excellent russian mafia film set in London. Great script, good acting and good directing.

****

An original story which is both funny and sad. Good music and an excellent performance by Gerard Butler

***

An average concert film, brings nothing really new or particularly interesting. A waste of Scorceses talent.

*

A waste of time and money. Average to lousy acting, terrible effects and un-inspired script and directing.

****

A well done suspense film, with good acting and some interesting twists if a bit over the top on occasion.

***

Kids will enjoy this, but there is not enough of a story to keep adults entertained. Effects only mildly entertaining.

***

Jessica Alba is not enough to carry this average suspense/horror film.

***

The documentary angle doesn't really add anything new to the dead series.

***

Lack of chemistry makes this wanna be funny road movie, neither funny nor bad enough to be good.

****

A good concept, not carried out very well. The religious angle is a waste as is Samuel L. Jacksons performance.

***

Tons of effects can't save a bad story.

*****

Wow! Original story, great acting, great directing and plenty of surprises. Be warned, very violent.

****

Depp shouldn't have to sing, his acting doesn't need it. Not one of Burtons best effort.

*

Maybe I am too old for the average teenfare. An interesting concept done very badly, with no real redeeming qualities.

****

A bit of a let down after the first installment. Still good enough for a couple of hours of trills and spills.

***

Everyone seemed to love this, I thought it was pretty predictable, and not as funny as it should have been.

***

Clive Owen gives a great preformance, and there are some good costumes, but few really impressive/unexpected scenes.

****

An excellent story well told and acted. In particular Philip Seymore Hoffman and his character are a treat to watch.

*****

Excellent film, great script and acting. Good for some serious laughts as well as some serious tears.

**

If you don't like sci-fi don't bother. It was predictable but ok in my book.

****

An interesting angle on the child kidnapping theme. Both dramatic as well as thought provoking.

*****

Ridley Scott is one of the best directors around, and the material and acting is very good. A worthwhile film.

****

An interesting concept, albeit a bit far fetched. Nevertheless enjoyable and sadly too short. P.S. I love Jessica Biel

*****

An excellent film worth watching twice. Will Smith is a treat, and you might even cry once or twice.

****

A confusing script and some hamfisted acting, do little justice to an excellent book.

*****

A great surprise, a grown up movie with few special effects and very strong acting and script.

**

Weak material, with too few "moments" to make a decent film, let alone enough laughs to do justice to other Farrelly fare.

***

An average run of the mill suspense/drama. Nothing to really distinguish the film.

*

A Spanish teen/horror film. A waste of money and celulloid. Acting and directing are amaturish.

**

A confusing story, with some redeeming moments. Directing and production quality are pretty good.

***

A better than average apocalyptic/biblical prophesy movie.

***

A decent movie based on the true story of a U.S. spy gone bad.

*

A pretty bad movie with some good scenery.

*

Uwe Boll, should not be allowed to direct. Lousy story, badly told. Too serious to be taken seriously.

*****

A very good story, well acted. And as a bonus, based on a true story.

****

An average story well done. Good acting and good directing make this worthwhile.

**

Not one of his best efforts, although a couple of surprises are in store for the viewer.

*****

A well directed and acted movie, with some interesting twists and turns.

***

I'm a fan. Though I found it to be way over the top at times. Too much effects and too little story.

***

Good soundtrack with some good action scene. As usual a weak story doesn't help.

****

Strong script, great acting, and good directing, make this a treat. In particular Renee Zellweger is a joy to watch.

***

Hey I liked it, some cool effects and a surprise ending.

*

The directing is confusing and the story is weak. The acting uninspired so in the end no real point to this film.

***

Original, well acted, well directed. A bit gruesome but that is par for the course.

*

***

This could have been much better. Lucky for me I am a fan of Gilliam, otherwise it might be worth skipping.

***

Original story well done. But you better not be squimish.

****

A gripping tale, well directed and acted. Incredible how such a "small" story can take hold and keep you involved.

****

Depp and Burton, good story and some great characters.

*****

An enjoyable animated film, good for the whole family.

****

A so-so story, but well directed and acted.

****

It helps if you are a fan. Not as original as the first, but enjoyable nevertheless.

*

Some horrible acting by some notable people don't make the terrible directing and script any better.

***

Colin and Samuel turn in some good performances for a an average action film.

*

Could have been good, but wasn't. Bad acting, bad script, bad directing do not make a good movie.

***

An interesting concept and a couple of un-expected plot twists.

****

Future, clones, perfect society. All done before, but this one is worth watching.

*****

Wonderful film, a bit disturbing, but well done on all levels. The original concept is for once well executed.

**

A good script for the wrong actor. A couple of surprises well presented.

****

Bruce rules, leave all expectations of reality at home and enjoy the ride.

****

A fun film, with some great effects. Story is middlin, but enjoyable nonetheless.

***

A good Disney animation with something for everyone.

*****

An excellent suspense/thriller. With a definitely non pc ending. Well directed and acted.

****

Stretching a bit, but it is nice to see the boys back on the screen. Al Pacino hams it up.

***

It helps if you are a fan. Some good laughts nevertheless.

****

The franchise is getting thin. The story line a bit too much as well as the effects. Still fun though. Sparrow is the man.

***

A great concept, well done. This should scare a few travelers.

***

A womans quest for revenge, very disturbing at times.

***

A saturday matinee film. Nothing really special, but well made nevertheless.

**

If you love dogs, you will cry at times, but in the end the tears will be of joy.

***

An animated horror film might sound strange, but it isn't bad (it isn't good either..)

****

A low budget horror movie, with some good shocks if a little low on scary moments and suspense.

**

A flim every 10 years or so doesnt' make this better. Some good scenery and sets, but only a so-so story.

***

Nothing special, a classic TV movie!

****

Well, made with a good script and good acting.

**

The franchise continues, lack of originality is noticeable. Still a couple of very disturbing moments.

***

A fun film, good for a couple of laughs.

****

He's still at it, and I still find it good. Still very disturbing at times.

***

Plenty of action in a near future flick, but over all un-inspiring.

****

Original and funny, well worth a look.

****

Action and a little suspense, another good vehicle for Bruce Willis.

***

Jack Black is not able to carry this to a good conclusion. The scipt is too weak and the humor sporadic.

****

A good script and good acting over all well made and enjoyable.

****

Surprisingly good considering the topic. White guy/ Black Girl match made in suburbia?

***

An interesting movie with lots of stuff to think about.

*

A very boring film with some good actors in it.

*****

A very nice romantic film centered around a very curious premise. Not just for fans of Keanu and Bullock

***

Some excellent acting and a good script, make a disturbing issue dificult to watch sometimes.

*****

A 'fun" film, with will make you both laugh, cry and shake your head.

****

Samuel E. Jackson and a lot of snakes. I really enjoyed it, although a bit hokey at times.

*****

Excellent movie, great script great acting, and pretty funny considering the amount of killing taking place.

*****

An excellent film, very low key and straight forward. With some good acting and dialog.

****

You pretty much have to be a fan to enjoy it. Dispense with the believable and enjoy the ride.

***

A very gritty, well made film about a carjack gone horribly wrong.

***

A hard hitting and visually stunning movie. With some very raw acting.

****

A good concept, a few good laughs, all around mediocre.

****

Fast moving action with some good stunts and plot twists.

*****

Great movie on a very "boring" subject. With a good script and good acting all around, in particular Samuel L. Jackson.

****

Visually stunning record of the Emperor pinguins in Antartica.

****

Some classic B-movie moments with some ove the top gore, as befits Tarantino and Co.

***

Medium well done, not much more to be said.

**

A pretencious movie, which fails to satisfy.

***

A confusing but visually stuning movie.

****

Good for a couple of laughs, but only for die hard fans.

*****

A funny, touching and a true story to boot. Excellent role for Anthony Hopkins

****

A suspensul and interesting film. Good acting and interesting script helped.

***

Still original and deeply disturbing.

**

A so so film which pretty much kills it.

****

A well made and well acted film, which will leave the watcher deeply moved.

****

A light fluffy comedy, which could have easily been much much worse.

****

An original and well made film, with some excellent acting and a well though out script.

Talking cows, what more could you want. Some good laughs and situations.

An all around good film with Keanu doing a good job as usual.
