- This movie is a lock for one of the worst of the year. I made it exactly 7 minutes in before I stopped paying attention and 18 minutes in before I didn't even want it as background noise while doing things around the house. Imagine one of those atrocious schlocky Grindhouse type movies . . . . . .with Nicolas Cage. This movie makes blind and deaf people blessed.
- No - nobody should ever see this. The fact that people paid 3D prices to do so makes me want to slap every one of them upside the head.
- The greatest love story ever told, starring... garden gnomes? Gnomeo & Juliet showcases both classic and original songs by Elton John and features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find lasting happiness?
- I really enjoyed this movie. Its silly, but a pretty good satire of the Romeo & Juliet story. Its VERY tongue in cheek. There were equal parts humor for kids and the adults. It honestly made me want to get gnomes all over my backyard.
- I would definitely recommend checking this movie out. For those of you looking for something to do with the kids - this is the perfect choice for both you and them. For those of you without kids - it's still really damn funny.
- John Smith (Alex Pettyfer), is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri (Timothy Olyphant), John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events—his first love (Dianna Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny.
- I understandably had really low expectations for this movie. I think that helped me be able to somewhat enjoy the movie as the decent sci-fi story that it was. I heard someone describe it as Twilight with aliens instead of vampires. Easily the best possible way to describe it. The acting was horrible and so was the script, but the trick to a good sci-fi movie is to either make you believe in the other world or the existence of stuff like this in our world for that brief amount of time the movie is on. This movie achieved that. The good action and good sci-fi story trumped the other glaring shortfalls of the movie.
- I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. I enjoyed it but had really low hopes for it and could see most people not liking it.
- Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a 'mechanic' - an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead. His mission grows complicated when Harry's son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can't turn his back on Harry's son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
- This movie is exactly what you would expect from the trailer. It's like an 80s action throwback with lots of fighting, explosions and shooting. Jason Statham is pretty much a smaller version of Arnold and Stallone at this point and the movie could have easily been called Transporter 4. All of that being said, I enjoyed it. I always have liked movies like this. I'm a big fan of ocassionally going to the movies and just not having to think and enjoyeing some serious ass kicking. This one was even kind enough to throw in some twists and turns to the story that ultimately doesn't matter but someone has to get screenwriter credits.
- If you are an action fan - you can't go wrong with this movie at all. If you are not - you shouldn't touch this movie with a twenty foot pole.
- Inspired by true events, The Rite follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While he's in Rome, Michael meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil's reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth.
- Another January snoozer. This movie looked like it might be creepy enough to be enjoyable. I have a hard enough time getting in to exorcist movies because it's pretty much the same thing over and over again. This one was no different and all of the creepiness from the trailer was just really good editing. The only time I jumped was when a cat jumped past a window. Outside of that - no scares at all.
- I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering to go see this. Its not worth your time or money.
- A psychological thriller about a deranged college freshman (Leighton Meester) who becomes obsessed with her new roommate (Minka Kelly).
- This is essentially an extremely weak remake of Single White Female in a college setting. It's exactly what I expected and it's exactly what I got. There really isn't much more to be said about this.
- I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering to go to theaters to watch this. You would be much better off watching Single White Female or any television show on the CW instead of this.
- Paramount Pictures is developing a 3D Justin Bieber biopic that will hit theaters on February 11, 2011. The movie will include performances from his current concert tour.
- I will say never.
- As in . . . . . . I will never be seeing this movie. You are on your own with this one and thank you in advance to my wonderful friends that will be taking Stinka to see it so that I don't have to.
- In this comedy, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes- who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?
- This movie was actually pretty enjoyable. It was totally formula in every way but I liked it anyway. There was good chemistry from Kutcher and Portman. The supporting characters provided great humor and one liners. The story hooks you enough that you root for the two main characters.
- I didn't remotely think I would, but I would recommend people checking this movie out. I know it's been extremely slim pickings so far but this is the most enjoyable of 2011's releases so far.
- Blue Valentine is the story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their failing marriage. Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in this honest portrait of a relationship on the rocks.
- This is another one of those artsy movies that critics praise for being so "real" and well acted so everyone flocks to see it based on the reviews and it ends up being artsy fartsy garbage. Real? It's a back and forth in the timeline of a couples' relationship where we pretty much get to watch them shoot the $hit as they get to know each other and then bicker as a married couple. Movies like these afe always only as good as the hook of the characters. I felt no hook for either of them at all and didn't care about where their relationship is going.
- I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this one. It's nowhere near as good as the reviews make it out to be and I wasn't impressed with either of the "award worthy" performances.
- Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of LA's most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene – until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves – protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets. Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato's clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all.
- This movie could have been a really funny movie if they wanted to go for comedy. This movie could have been a really great action movie if they wanted to zero in on that. This movie could have been a really good action comedy if they wanted to shave about 30 minutes off of the overdone and unncecessary "story". Unfortunately, none of these things happened. Why the keys to this whole thing were handed to Seth Rogen is completely beyond me. It took them about 10 minutes to get to the whole Green Hornet part of the movie so I still can't figure out why this movie is 2 hours long. The action ended up being slapsticky and stupid at times and I really found myself just wanting this movie to end so that I could go home.
- I wouldn't really recommend anyone going to check this one out. It's just another prime example of no matter how a movie is packaged, if it's coming out in January it is crap.
- Since college, confirmed bachelor Ronny (Vaughn) and happily married Nick (James) have been through thick and thin. Now partners in an auto design firm, the two pals are vying to land a dream project that would launch their company. With Ronny's girlfriend, Beth (Connelly), and Nick's wife, Geneva (Ryder), by their sides, they're unbeatable. But Ronny's world is turned upside down when he inadvertently sees Geneva out with another man and makes it his mission to get answers. As the amateur investigation dissolves his world into comic mayhem, he learns that Nick has a few secrets of his own. Now, with the clock ticking and pressure mounting on the biggest presentation of their careers, Ronny must decide how and when he will reveal the truth to his best friend.
- I didn't really expect too much from this movie. Sadly, I got less. And this is coming from someone who loves Kevin James and doesn't find Vince Vaughn's act tired. This movie is the definition of just there. I laughed once or twice. That's it. And this was directed by Ron Howard!? The Ron Howard!? What the hell!?! How much did attaching himself to the albatross that is the DaVinci Code movies kill his career?
- I wouldn't really recommend this movie to anyone. It's a pretty big waste of time. I spent most of the movie thinking of better things I could be doing with my time.
