Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010)
this movie is much better than the reviews 0n here
i am just amazed that most of the reviews here for any movie - are always worse than anyone can believe. most of the trolls on here don't know a good movie when they see one. this is a very good movie - the acting is very good - the special effects will blow you away. it is really like an Australian version of "Red Dawn" - it is kind of silly that a group of teenagers would go to war and hold off an experienced army that has invaded their country but at the the same time you have to remember that was the setting in Red Dawn also. i had never heard of the movie until a saw a trailer on another DVD - so i had to buy it and was not at all disappointed. if you liked Red Dawn - then you will like this one also. If you hated Red Dawn - then you will hate this one as well. But - give it a chance and judge for yourself - don't let the trolls here make the decision for you. i for one - i liked it very much and plan to watch it again very soon.
Jobs (2013)
i thought this was a very good movie!!!
i don't care what the critics said about the movie and i don't care what the trolls on here think. this was Ashton Kutcher's best acting performance in my opinion. i thought he did a great job of portraying Steven Jobs. i also thought the movie itself was a very good movie - going back to the beginning and then at the end in 2001 when Steve jobs brought Apple back. Ashton had the jobs walk down pat - he also shows what a butt hole Steve Jobs was at times - especially when he was young. i just wish that movie would have went further into job's life at the end. he brought Apple back with the iPhone and then he got sick. he did finally make up with his daughter that he denied for so many years but i think as he got older - he was a better man and father. anyway - i think if you want to know the real Steve Jobs - then Jobs is a great movie. it is well worth the time to watch and enjoy. i myself - well i loved it.
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
out of this world - great movie!!!!!
i just watched this movie recently - one of the best westerns - i think it is as good if not better than the original. i have always loved blood and guts westerns - ever since i first saw "The Wild Bunch". this one is right up there with the modern western - good guys verses the bad guys. the bad guy in this movie is really mean and you can't wait until he is dead. the ending is done well also - it is a little long but well worth the time to watch. one of the best modern westerns i have seen in awhile.
take some time and watch this one - you will like it!!!
A Good Man (2014)
a so bad - pretty good Seagal movie
i have seen a lot of Steven Seagal movies over the years and in the past several years - most of his movies goes straight to DVD - but this one is really pretty good. the action and fight scenes are really good - i could do without all the profanity - but i guess that is par for the course for most movies today. Seagal is a special ops guy who is really haunted by his last raid and retires to Europe where he tries to live a normal life. of course that is not going to happen when he runs afoul of a bunch of mean Russians mob types. of course like all his movies - he saves the girl and saves the day at the end - so that is OK. the very last scene could have been better but all in all - a pretty good movie.
Taken by Grace (2013)
I was surprised by how good this movie was
This is a good movie - especially from a Christian standpoint. Of course it is a Christian movie and it comes off as pretty good. the ending is the best - I won't spoil for anyone but it is a little slow at first. The husband actor is not the best but overall it is a very good movie for forgiveness and redemption. The so-called bad guy is a very good actor and so are most of the other actors. The detectives are good actors also. The scenes are from out west and the production budget was low of course but it is not really that bad. Hailey Duff is also a good actor in the movie. It is well worth the time to watch - you will be surprised at how it all ends.
The Salvation (2014)
One of the best westerns - I loved it!!!!
I just happened across a trailer for this movie, I had never heard of it before. it is one of the best westerns I have ever seen - right up there with the Unforgiven and the wild bunch. it is a blood and guts western - which I love. the very first blood and guts western was the wild bunch - which is my all time favorite western. this one has a different take being the main actor is a Danish solider just coming to America after being defeated by the Germans in 1864. it is a story of vengeance and the bad guys gets their due in the end. I don't know why I had never heard of this movie before but it is well worth the time to watch. you will not be disappointed at all. it reminds me in a way of High Plains Drifter but with a more modern blood and guts addition. tell you friends about it - it is a very good western.
La bête (1975)
i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
i saw this movie years ago - i think i watched it on HBO or something - i really cannot remember. i just remember that i loved it - i thought it was one of the most sexual movies - even graphic - i had ever seen on TV. it was kinda of silly in some parts but very very sexual and stimulating at the least. it is all about a young sexually frustrated girl who gets all excited about a hairy type beast in the woods. first of all in the beginning she watches two horses getting it on and gets all excited. then she is married to some guy who never gives her any. then one day while hunting for a lost sheep - she get chased by some monster type beast (ape) or what ever it is. then the beast ape masturbated a gallon all over her. the beast ape is hung like a horse and she likes that as well. then there is a scene where she masturbates the ape man with her feet - again he shoots off a gallon. finally the ape man gets her good and she loves it. i thought it was pretty good - got me all excited as well as my girlfriend at the time. - if you love good old fashioned bestiality - this movie is great for you. as for me - i just loved it and want to watch it again if i can find it on DVD.
Soul Survivors (2001)
Much better movie than the 3.8 ratings here
I had never heard of this movie. Just happened upon it and decided to take a chance and buy it. i was very surprised how good this movie was. the rating on here are very poor but you really have to follow this movie and you have to think about it. it is not a stupid teenage movie with blood and guts - so maybe that is why most people here did not like it. it is a very deep movie, you have to stay with it but as the story goes on, you start to realize there is allot more to it. i was very moved by the acting, i thought the acting was very good, the special effects were pretty good - they could have been better but overall the movies was great. i loved it. i love movies that make you think and this was one of them. i also thought that Melissa Sagemiller was beautiful, her character was sweet and innocent but at the same time, she portrays an inner strength. i loved the ending - i won't tell you in the review, you will have to see it yourself. Overall - it is well worth your time if you love movies that make you think and love the supernatural. I gave it an 8.0 overall.
The Grey (2011)
Not as good as i thought it would be!!!!!
This was really a disappointment - i really thought from the trailer that this would be a good movie but i was wrong. First of all, the movie depicts that a lone wolf attacks men working on an oil rig, that does not make any sense at all. Ottway (the lead character) is the shooter protecting the workers from these crazy wolves who want nothing but to eat the workers, that is crazy as well. Wolves, from what i understand, do not attack men. The movie has the notion that the wolves are mean, want nothing but to kill the workers and follow them through out the movie. The ending really sucks as well when you are left with the impression that the hero is eaten by the wolves after surviving a plane crash, walking through the snow and leaves you with a really bad taste in your mouth. it just is not as high as the ratings on here gives it. it is OK but not my type of movie for reasons already stated.
Rocky Balboa (2006)
This one is as good as the Original!!!!!!
When this movie first came out - i said "you have got to be kidding me - another Rocky movie?" But man, i was surprised, i did not watch this movie until recently and i was blown away. I think this is the best Rocky movie since Rocky III if not better. It shows that Rocky had the heart of a lion, no fear, and was still a damn good boxer for his age. It also has some really good scenes about Rocky dealing with the death of his wife (Adrienne). It shows that the new heavy weight champ does not have the heart of Rocky, is too consumed with his own self and learns from fighting Rocky what is means to be a true champion. So the movie has allot of good qualities and values. It also shows that Rocky really loved Adrienne and how much he misses her and shows the love between them. Pauly is as goofy as usual and adds to the old original theme. It is well worth your time to see this movie - it was really a good one.
Timecop (1994)
Loved it!!!!!
This is my all time favorite time travel movie. it is a little confusing, hard to keep up with at certain times, but still a great time travel movie. Ron Silverman is great as the all time bad guy and the action scenes are really good. I love time travel movies anyway but this one is a great one, in my opinion. One of the things that do not make any sense is why Van Damme did not go back in time sooner to save his wife - that part i don't understand and the movie does not really address that. But anyway if you love time travel movies - this one is a good one to watch. Van Damme gets his revenge in the end with the demise of all of the bad guys and i love the parts where he kicks the S out of all of them and blows them away. Well worth watching.
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Much better movie than you might think!!!!
I remember going to the theater to see this movie when it first came out (yeah i am old i know) and i was blow away!!!! The special effects for it's time were really good, compared to today of course, they can't compete but back then, they were good. The story line was so good and the acting of course was great. The costumes, the music everything was going for it. It got you hooked big time and keep you on the edge of your seat, trying to figure out what had happened to this planet. Also intriguing was the chemistry between "bright eyes" and the doctor chimp lady, that was really cool also. You found yourself pulling for the leading man and wanting to know what was going to happen all at the same time. Then - the ending - oh wow - that just blew me away. He had traveled forward in time and found out at the end we had blown ourselves all to hell and the apes had taken over. The other sequels were OK but not as good as the first one. It was really hard to follow up on and make any sense whatsoever. Those of you who have not seen it, get it, kick back and watch a really good if not great classic.
The Strangers (2008)
This is one good Scary Movie because it is a true story!!!!
This is one of scariest movies i have ever seen. I could not sleep good that night i watched it. Most of these killer movies don't scare me but this one did because it is a true story. Liv Tyler is great in the movie and rest of the cast are very good actors as well. The scary part of this movie - there are really people out there just like the killers in the movie. The group has a chance to kill the bad guys but everything that can go wrong goes wrong. They end up killing one of their own by mistake and the bad guys get away Scott free. At the end of the movie - the killers calmly ride away into the sunrise while Liv is left for dead. I wanted her to get the shotgun and blow their heads off at the end, but it did not happen. If you think killer movies won't scare you - try this one for size, you won't be disappointed.
One man's opinion.
Paul (2011)
This one really sucks!!!! Don't waste your time with this turkey
I really thought that this movie was going to be a good one, how WRONG i was. With the actors from Shaun of the Dead - i thought it would be a good one but it is really bad. The special effects are the only things good about this turkey. The story line is about the same as any B alien movie. Paul is an alien, captured by the government, tries to escape to get back home, some humans are helping him get away from the evil government agents, and so on. It seems like the writers went out of their way to make an anti-religious anti-Christian movie and that really gets in the way of the plot. They spend way too much time on the anti-religious part and not enough on making the movie funny. Don't waste a minute of your life watching this foolish stupid piece of crap. One man's opinion.
The Day (2011)
i loved this Movie!!!!
Well, what can i say? If you like the movie "The Road" - you will love this one as well. it is along the same story line as the road, but allot more shooting and killing the bad guys in this one. the acting was top notch, the special effects were really good and the movie was just overall a great one. The one thing i liked was the mood, it was almost like in black and white but the special effects were great and the acting was better than expected. but i love these types of apocalyptic type movies anyway, so i was really wanting to see it. had never heard of the movie until i saw a preview and i was hooked big time. as i said, if you liked "The Road" - you will love "The Day".
The Wild Bunch (1969)
I loved this western!!!!!!
I loved this movie, i remember seeing it when it first came out (yeah, i am old). When i was young, i remember westerns and i always loved them, but by 1969 westerns were a dying breed. Then came "The Wild Bunch" by far one of the best westerns ever made, it not the best (sorry Clint). William Holden was excellent as well as all of the others actors in the movie. it was the first western with all the blood and guts, bullets going through bodies, blood everywhere, i loved it and still do. i just ordered it in blu ray for my collection. i watched about a year ago and am going to watch it again. i have watched it about 10 times and never get bored with it. the ending was sad, but it was good also, the guys going out the way they lived - by the sword. If you liked "Unforgiven" - you will fall in love with "The Wild Bunch".
Equilibrium (2002)
One of the Best Movies I have ever seen - Blows The Matrix away!!!!!
I cannot understand why i had never heard of this movie. It is by far (in my humble opinion) much much better than The Matrix. i just happened across it in my local video store (back when they had video stores) and thought is might be a decent movie. It blow me away!!! I loved all the action, fight scenes, gun fights and the movie actually had a good plot, great acting and the special effects were just unbelievable!!!! Christian Bale was great and all the actors were wonderful. Why this movie did not do well at the box office is beyond me? I think The Matrix was marketed much better but this movie is light years ahead of The Matrix. If you liked The Matrix - you will fall in love with Equilibrium. Give it a change and watch it - you will not be disappointed.
Limitless (2011)
Very good movie but had some plot problems
I loved this movie, i think it had a very good idea behind it but there are some plot problems. overall i think it was a good movie, the idea that someone had invented a designer drug which would turn a person into a super smart brain child is a good one. the idea of a down on his luck loser writer, happens to run into an ex-brother-in-law who just happened to be a drug dealer was kinda out there but believable enough. then you have to add the element of the star always in danger, that keeps the audience wondering what was going to happen. the ending was kinda out there too, but all in all, it was a good movie to watch. i liked the idea of the movie and enjoyed it very much. it was a fun movie with a feel good ending.
Twixt (2011)
This movie really sucks!!!! Don't waste your time!!!!
i bought this movie thinking it had to be good, i mean Francis Ford Coppola, right? Wrong - even with very good actors, they could not save this turkey. The so called special effects sucked, the plot sucked, the ending sucks. it was just plain bad - don't waste your money nor time. the plot is so crazy - it starts out OK but then you get lost in the meaningless of it all. Val Kimler and the Fanning girl + Bruce Dern are all good actors, but they must have been in need of money bad to make this horrible movie. I cannot not in good faith recommend this movie to anyone. The ending made no sense at all. Just avoid this like the plague.
The Messengers (2007)
The best ghost movie
This is the best ghost movie i think i have ever seen. The special effects were very good if not great. I get really tired of reading reviews of very good movies that are almost always bad. So i thought i would write a review of a very good movie for a chance. If you like ghost movies, this one is the best i have ever seen. I usually do not like ghost movies, i cannot ever be scared of one, but this one has a very different take and the ending explains the entire movie. The cast is excellent, the special effects are very good and the plot is good as well. A little slow at first, but as the movie goes along, the better it gets. This is a movie well worth seeing.
