When I heard they were making a movie of this little guy I was only hoping they would give him the proper tribute and I must admit that they pretty much did a sweet good hearted little flick for almost all ages some mild gross humor here and there but that's about it other than that highly recomended full of sweet natured good hearted fun for all I say see it |

Death Race 2 isn't close to be good and I think that's what the movies arming for. The film isn't to be taken seriously, but more of turning off your brain and just enjoy what's on screen kind of flicks.
But has a person like me who doesn't turn off his brain during these stupid action movie I must really talk about the big things in this movie like: The acting is just flat out bad, the actions scenes where just blah and .
But they is this one character in this movie that only has a short... |

This is a film out of China based on an MMO game made in Korea - as long as you know that going in, you should know what you're in for. I have played the game and this film serves as a prequel of sorts for what goes on in the game. The animation is actually pretty good - the translation I saw was questionable (and unauthorized), so I'm sure if it was done right it would have been better in that aspect. The story makes a lot more sense if you have any knowledge of the game (which is apparently h... |

| Spirited Away ( Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi ) |

I feel 'Spirited Away' was overhyped for me. I didn't see much present to hold this so high above the other Studio Ghibli films. I very much appreciated the creative/beautiful visuals, child wonder, and unconventional elements. These aspects are expected of all Studio Ghibli's work. It's just more of the same. I didn't connect with the story or characters here. A well done movie, in most regard. I got more out of 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. |

There were a few false notes at the beginning, plus I was struck by how steadily upwardly mobile the parents were -- that's not how I remember the last 15 years. But overall, I really enjoyed this. It was almost more like watching Michael Apted's Up documentaries than an ordinary film, but I've always loved those. A very ambitious project, and I'm surprised and delighted by how well it paid off. |

I liked the idea of this more than the actual movie itself. I guess the point is that not everything that ends will end on a particularly interesting or exciting note and I understand that, but I just didn't feel as attached to any of the characters as much as the movie might have wanted me to. |

I canīt say itīs excellent because I felt it too slow, but itīs excellent. itīs our life in the big screen. The director did a great job portraying our daily (and boring and routine) life in there. And the soundtrack is amazing. |

"Total Recall" by Yojimbo
|
|
A factory worker dissatisfied with his lot decides to spice up his life and visit a memory implant service to discover that he is in fact an undercover secret agent and wanted fugitive. The fact that I thought that the original Total Recall was a ugly, tacky, nonsensical mess means that this version had very little to live up to, and on that score it is a success. The cast is better (despite a criminal waste of the usually excellent Bill Nighy), the dialogue is better and the visual effects are... |

The Bird is the Word

There is a lot to love about the surreal fantasy/nightmare from Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu that is called Birdman. Starting with the pitch perfect performance by the most underrated Michael Keaton. His is a richly layered Oscar worthy performance that slaps this film around like a Mace hitting a brick wall. All of the performers are bringing their "A" game. Directed with a whimsically sinister flair all add up to what was close to being a great film. Unfortunately a lot of the story felt... |
