Cruise Control!
|
|
"You think I'm a hero, I'm not a hero. I'm a drifter with nothing to lose."
Tom Cruise plays Jack Reacher, a rough ex-military cop who is enjoying early retirement in near paranoid solitude. When a former army sniper, James Barr expertly shoots and kills five random people at PNC Park in Pittsburgh during broad daylight, the police are quick to arrest him.
Barr claims to be innocent however, and writes "Get Jack Reacher" on a notepad after he is brutally attacked by fellow inmates while ... |

Interesting story and good acting. This movie was well done, but it's not at all scary. Like, at all. They made Mama sort of goofy looking, which made me laugh a couple times. The ending is cool.. I'd watch it again, but wouldn't go out of my way to see it. |

| Not Fade Away (2012) |

This film is like a fictional version of a musical biopic. It accomplishes the look, feel and overall tone of it's time period, as well as it's characters. It's got the 60's rock spirit, but the drama falters. I was only ever interested in the main character. His struggles seemed convincing. Some musicians may find certain moments relatable. The way in which the story develops makes me think of a television series. Maybe this would've been made better as a mini-series, with more time to ... |

I just finished watching this movie and I must say it is really good. The ending is sad but fits in with the movie and I was not disappointed. There a few jump at you moments that got me good. All in all, this was not a bad movie. I will be recommending to my friends. |

This is like a twisted version of The Breakfast Club filled with plenty of blood (and even a few twists) that keep things interesting. I especially liked the casting of Judd Nelson as the headmaster - as if the whole Breakfast Club thing wasn't apparent enough already. Anyway, if you want a decent thriller to pass the time, it's worth it. |

Great Film, Definitely!

A freed slave, Django (Jaime Foxx), with a German Bounty hunter, Dr. Schultz (Christoph Waltz), is set to rescue his wife from the heartless owner plantation, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).
***
This movie was great on its entirety. Tarantino's take on this Western material was both entertaining and smart at the same time. The actors delivered well with special mention to Christoph Waltz. The story, the material itself was brilliant, it was an excellent job, indeed.
Maybe, I just do... |

One Hell of a Movie

I'm sure to go to hell for watching this movie. Quentin Tarantino is my least favorite director, but I love movies and force my husband to watch over a hundred movies per year. He loves Tarantino, so I swallow my disgust and watch movies like Django Unchained and Kill Bill and all the rest of his collection. Maybe I'm warming up to the director because I didn't think it was that bad. It was funny, dark, bloody, and it had a good ending...when it finally did end. Django becomes unchained quit... |

Holy Hell, Bradley Cooper Was Great
|
|
What an awesome surprise. A very serious movie about mental illness and coping with loss disguised as romantic comedy.
Great direction, awesome casting, incredible performances by Robert Deniro, Jennifer Lawrence and even Bradley Cooper (that was the biggest surprise) and a strong soundtrack/score combine to create my favorite movie of 2012.
Things I loved about this movie: Bradley Cooper cutting weight by working out while wearing a trash bag, Chris Tucker's performance, Robert Deniro'... |
