If we seriously let a bunch of monkeys beat us in a straight up fight we deserve to be replaced. This isn't Humanity vs monkeys, it's Humanity's own staggering incompetence vs. Humanity -- and we've all seen how that works out in the end. |

Hartigan: "An old man dies, a young woman lives. Fair trade". Sometimes I love or hate when characters from movies narrator all the time, but in this movie it works so well and it didn't do my head in. The visual's in the movie are so fake at times but I didn't care because the movie sucks you in with it's story and characters so you don't noticed the funny looking backgrounds. |

I know it's not real but I want to visit Zubrowka
|
|
For me, Wes Anderson has always been hit or miss. Here, his brand of humor and style of filmmaking perfectly compliment each other without ruining the romance and intrigue associated with the different genres that are mashed together in The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's a murder mystery, a buddy movie, a historical drama, film noir, memoir adaptations, and political satire all rolled into one gloriously entertaining film. The all-star cast is excellent, especially Ralph Fiennes as the flamboyant a... |

An 'Obvious' Recommendation
|
|
I hesitate to label 'Obvious Child' as a 'romantic comedy'. The story is one that seems to fit into that category, but the film tells it in such a way that completely deviates from the typical formula. The characters are often relatable and the outcome of the situations lean in slight towards realism. Natural awkwardness shines through Jenny Slate's performance. I laughed along with her and understood her pains. The comedy comes out of the dramatic situations, much like how Slate's charact... |

Cerebral and Stupid
|
|
Lucy is probably not the movie audiences were expecting to see when they went to the theater this weekend (The movies going to finish the weekend with an estimated 44 million.) It’s weird, stylish, dark and thoughtful. But unfortunately it’s also really stupid.
I’m no scientist, but the leaps in logic here are distracting and unnecessary. This is strictly science fantasy, and the movie’s unfortunate decision to display the (flawed) logic behind the movies terrible hypothesis make this inc... |

| The Cabin in the Woods |
Rating of: 4/4

With a well written plot that plays on all the archetypes and tropes of horror films worldwide, Cabin in the Woods offers a clever, well paced, enjoyable horror film that sets the bar on what great horror should be. The inclusion of comedy and original characters brings to life the idea that horror doesn't just have to be gory and hack-and-slash. Instead it shows that creativity can really shine even in a genre that has so many films fall short. A must-see for all horror fans. |

Intriguing plot, outstanding effects and editing, haunting soundtrack, and best of all -- Vin Diesel in all his warrior glory. I watch this film whenever it airs (dozens of times), and I discover new details each time. It's in my TOP TEN best sci-fi movies of all time! |

Hercules Flexes More Than Muscles
|
|
After hearing just how much Dwayne Johnson went though to portray the half-god/half-mortal Hercules, I was interested to see if the results would be as impressive as the regimen. I was expecting a bunch of mindless action, some decent special effects and not much else. But, somewhere along the way, Brett Ratner (mostly known for ruining X-Men and the Rush Hour films) managed to give us a compelling story and even drawing up some deeper characters than I was expecting. All in all - for what I wa... |

Tough and gritty
|
|
A tough gritty movie of prision life. after being transfered to a adult prison the lead character rebels against both the system and the inmates who run the prison from the inside.
Thw twist to the story is oneof the main men inside happens to be his estranged father who he wants nothing to do with. This movie is real gritty violent and well acted. while it starts of with a few doubts it becomes easy to get into the character and forges its only path as a prison drama.
The end sequence of eve... |

The movie may not be great, but it is definitely good. The series of twists and actions, PLUS the unpredictability set the movie apart from other sci-fi action movies. |
