Movie Review Author Date Added
Australia Starts as a turkey but comes to it´s own when the story really begins and we get to see high adventure across the open outback of Australia. The characters are a bit over the top mostly and don´t quite gel with the beauty of Luhrmann´s visuals. Nullah the young mixbred boy is fine but his voice-over is too cheesy while trying to convey a fairytale quality. Still , it is a huge and sweeping tale of loss, romance, the comedy could have been left out though. And well there won´t be a dry eye in the house by the end. Not the great movie I hoped for. Saw this at the Stockholm Filmfestival stormerswe Oct 27, 2008
Twilight ive read teh books and i love them know i wanted to see the film, and the film did not disapoint lmao it was fangtastic!!!! and edward cullen is perfect vampirequeen91 Aug 10, 2008
Twilight Really emo, a little awkward, not too much dialogue, but more interesting than your average Hollywood fare. fb3301131 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight This movie was AWESOME but it didn't really follow the book as much as I thought it would. Plus, Jasper always looked weird, and Edward shouldn't make his eyes big...it makes hime look extra freaky... and not in a vampire way... gogettagirl Dec 2, 2008
Twilight i love this movie so much... it don't have special effects like the harry potter but it is still good... it's simple yet have a wonderful story... and i'm starting to like robert pattinson's acting (though i already liked him when i first saw him as cedric in harry potter).. mokona09 Dec 2, 2008
Australia It was Bloody Brilliant...! A Great one to watch. Loved the cast in this movie, especially the little boy, Nullah and The Drover of coz... fb772384663 Dec 2, 2008
Bolt Definitely a Pixar influenced Disney product, it was in fact produced the John Lassester (Toy Story 1 & 2) and it feels it. It tugs at your heartstrings as often as it hits your funny bone, and succeeds on both levels. I docked it a half star because unlike a true Pixar film, this one gets pretty obviously heavy-handed about it's message about "Everyone can be a hero". By about the third time this is addressed I was ready to move on. I did like it and I believe this one will find a long healthy life in my DVD collection. I saw it in digital 3D with the polarized glasses, very nice! Great use of 3D. The didn't ever resort to throwing stuff at the screen, instead they played with the depth of field which is what is making this current crop of 3D movies so fabulous. If you ever want to see both success and failure in a 3D film try watching Beowulf, they break the spell by throwing and thrusting stuff at the audience, but then the scenes of the ships coming ashore in the distance with the horse galloping in, major success. As far as Bolt's 3D, it is a huge success, very pleased with it and it starts with an amazingly great action sequence that is all the more fun because of how over the top it is. I love this movie! The little hamster Rhino steals the show in this one! fb1316367552 Dec 2, 2008
Four Christmases sounds like every other movie based around christmas but vaughn is good so might be worth watching!! VinnieVinnie1 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight Awkward acting, some overly-practiced and choreographed scenes and some more cheesy stuff. Robert Pattinson doesn't hurt. Kristin Stewart did fairly well. But despite everything, the movie was enjoyable. shennythegreat Nov 30, 2008
Twilight the books are awesome, one of my favourite series, and the movie was a pretty good adaptation!! can't wait to watch this movie again... and again... (they did a pretty good job considering the small budget.) fb513117211 Jul 21, 2008
Twilight I was initially skeptical about the quality of a movie that could dare try to match my favorite books. Although Twilight is not without a few flaws in scriptwriting, I'm thrilled to say that the movie was awesome and far exceeded my expectations! The casting is unbelievably accurate all the way around. PLEASE read the books...otherwise, you can't fully appreciate the cinematic efforts that are to come. The passion and intensity that Edward and Bella have is only a fraction of what is written in the book. Judging from the overhwhelming reponse of fans, New Moon (2010) will no doubt have a much higher budget to eliminate the small imperfections that are noticeable in Twilight. AmyB52234227 Nov 21, 2008
Four Christmases I expected this to be a load of cack but perhaps shamefully have to admit I laughed out loud more than once during it. It's cheesey and predictable, miles away from being a Christmas classic, but diverting and decent throwaway entertainment. fb756770607 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I absolutely loved it! I am not a big fan of vampire movies, but this one was awesome! I love the chemestry between Bella and Edward. This was a new take on the whole vampire story and I just really really fell in love with it. It was an amazing movie from start to finish. The story was so fresh and intellegent. I love stories with awesome human connection and this was definately one of those kind of stories! The acting between the two main characters was so intense, passinate and powerful, it took my breath away! This is definately going to be in my top 10 favorite romance movies of all time. I can't wait to see it again! movieloverforlife Nov 17, 2008
Transporter 3 I love the Transporter movies they are pure entertainment and this was no exception - typical Jason Statham with some comedy in places, great fight scenes and the obligatory semi-naked Statham :-) fb507508961 Dec 2, 2008
Australia Oh dear. Pass the Cheese please. And I don't mean some aged, gooey, sent from heaven Swiss Brie. I'm talking Kraft singles in that nasty plastic wrap. The two saving graces are Brandon Walters and the magnificent, grubby, rippling, shirtless, testosterone laden Hugh Jackman. Give me an unwashed boy stinking of horse!!!! fb777259224 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I love it!! seen it 5 times honestly and would deff see it 5 more times!! But in all truth, I liked the book better!! xEMiLYxwhoelsesawtwi Dec 2, 2008
Milk Great performances and production design are marred by a reliance on archival footage that distances us from Milk and his activist friends. I never truly felt his struggle, it all seemed too easy for him. Wouldn't he ever have a moment of doubt or weakness? Too much history was covered and not enough character development. Also, Diego Luna sucked. fb3404461 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I liked the book more than the movie. The actress was not good at all. All her emotions she showed through blinking or twitching her face. The plot is not that great either, but my 11 year old daughter thinks it is awesome fb653924645 Dec 2, 2008
Four Christmases It had a pretty good mix of slapstick and themes that you could relate to. I had fun watching it. I was expecting a lot of cliches, but it was decent. fb1102506811 Dec 2, 2008
Australia Nice cinematography and a few exciting sequences. Too bad this shit is almost 3 hours long! This is flopping big time in the U.S. and I'm not surprised. It's not a very good movie. fb3404461 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight The movie is very faithful to the book, which is it's major problem...it's painfully slow and repetitive. Nothing happens that you haven't seen in the trailer. The sequel's gonna have werewolves though! fb3404461 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight i thought that by watching it twice it would be better... but now it's the third time and a half and i still think that it could have been worse. ylnoneeuq Nov 21, 2008
Twilight I liked this movie...although it did get much hype because of the books...but I still really enjoyed it fb40201268 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight faithful 2 book...some instances of bad acting(bella)..score perfect...charlies character is a charmer..jacob ...has gr8 potential in new moon...a treat for fans... fb609791225 Dec 2, 2008
Australia This is such a good movie!!!! Its so sad but because some of it actually happened its even sadder!!! :( fb1359752805 Dec 2, 2008
Transporter 3 Parce qu'il est le spécialiste incontesté des livraisons à haut risque, Frank Martin se voit contraint, sous la menace, de transporter deux sacs imposants et une jeune Ukrainienne depuis Marseille jusqu'à Odessa. Que contiennent les sacs ? Qui est cette fille? Pourquoi doit-il l'accompagner ? Quels enjeux se cachent derrière cette livraison ? Frank ne sait pas grand-chose, et surtout pas comment il va sortir de ce piège tendu par un adversaire bien plus redoutable que les précédents... • L'avis du Grand Quick : Une fois de plus Jason Statham s'éclate au volant de sa voiture et en cassant la gueule à des tas de vilains-pas-beaux... soit. Avec Besson qui traîne dans le coin on en prend certes plein la vue, mais bon. Sorti tout droit de "Prison Break" (avec ses deux mains) Robert Knepper ne force pas son talent dans le rôle du méchant de service. Quant à notre "Transporteur" il devient pro dans l'art du bi-cross et de la survie au fond de l'eau enchaîné à une bagnole ! Trop fort... fb799791877 Dec 2, 2008
Australia AUSTRALIA is Baz Luhrmann's love letter not only to the country of Australia, but to the sweeping epics of a long-gone cinematic era. It is filled with cinemascope vistas and equally larger-than-life characters in a wide-arcing story that touches on themes of love, perseverance against persecution, and family, all set against the too-often unknown history of Australia. Lurhmann, as he did in Moulin Rouge, combines a quintessential love story with tongue-in-cheek storytelling that some may find difficult to swallow, particularly within the early stages of World War II. It's important to recall that its predecessors such as Gone With The Wind, From Here To Eternity, or Red River also danced freely on stages of camp and melodrama. AUSTRALIA covers this ground and more in its 15 minute running time. What may seem to be the core of the film is the inevitable romance between Kidman's too-thin and too-proper Lady Ashley and Jackman's too-muscular and too-rugged Drover. Both actors play their roles to the chops, often in a manner too ham-hocked to catch the eye of the Academy and yet it is diccult not to be swept up by their classic romance. However, Lurhmann smartly places the true heart of the story into the character of Nullah, a small native boy of mixed descent, played by newcomer Brandon Walters with such heart that the Academy may see past the marquee names and recognize him as they did with fellow young Australasians Anna Paquin and Keisha Castle-Hughes. Baz Luhrmann has constructed a film that is at once homage, history lesson, and of course romance. But in reality AUSTRALIA is a coming of age story, of a country coming to terms with its growing role in the world and the tragic imbalance of its people, and of a young boy capturing his own identity while the world and people around him struggle to do the same. Like his previous film, MOULIN ROUGE, Luhrmann creates a beautiful story that, while perhaps too campy for some, is to the open-mided both familiar and totally unique. It is a throwback to the classic epic yarns, as well as something new and memorable in its own right, and every bit worth experiencing. fb670315388 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight Movies can never be as good as the book, but I LOVED it anyway! My husband even liked it so that's saying something. fb193308306 Dec 2, 2008
Australia Nicole Kidman's lately left a cold trail in the box offices lately, but she's picked up after this. Hugh Jackman is "crikey" amazing, but I'm probably just biased. I don't think any other man can glorify the act of rounding up cattle and make it look so fantastic. Every second Australian actor seems to be in this film. At best this is a sweeping, romantic epic but at worst it's a perpetuation of (or homage to) colonial Australia stereotypes. I think it's important for us to be aware of our history, and this film at least enlightens us of the darker side of Australian culture; particularly poignant is the acknowledgement of the PM's apology to the indigenous Australians at the end. The production values are on par with most blockbusters (Australia has never looked this good) although the prevalent use of CGI for the landscapes becomes irritating. The villain of the piece is kind of hilarious in a morbid way. David Wenham is quietly menacing as the calculating, cruel Fletcher. Dubbed the Australian "Gone with a Wind" but I think this is an injustice to both films. It's great escapism. Amused that Jackman's character is only known throughout the film as the Drover and also at Lady Ashley's reaction to seeing wild kangaroos for the first time. fb637286755 Jun 16, 2008
Bolt This was cute and had all the usual cast of crazy characters to complement the main star. The story, plot and conclusion were typically predictable for a kids/family movie. And even though this was a Disney animated movie, you could see that it was lacking that super star power that Pixar would have given it. fb1058292010 Nov 18, 2008
Twilight Having not read any of the books, I felt that this was a decent introduction to the characters and lead-in to where the story is going. I feel that at least a trilogy, if not all four books should be made to "complete" this saga...and then a true rating can be given. fb1058292010 Nov 16, 2008
Bolt wouldnt go to the movies and see it but when it come on foxtel would watch it so not interested i guess fb650685680 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight Dont go see it! Unless your extreemly sappy and girly.. first 45 min to hour is ok...then just gets really corny and bOy does it move along slowly! Walked out with 30 or so minutes left...just couldnt take the sappy anymore... fb713045290 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I thought it was too much of a teeny bopper flick. I read the book, so I enjoyed watching the movie for that reason, but there were a couple of times that Rob and I were laughing at parts that weren't supposed to be funny just because they were so over-the-top! Hee hee! fb68603945 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight loved the book...the movie just made it more real...robert pattinson is so cute...wish i was bella...lol froggedyann Dec 2, 2008
Twilight This movie was dreadful. go ahead all of you teenage girls and ridicule me, but dreadful is what i'm going with fb17119946 Dec 2, 2008
Four Christmases Somewhat enjoyable Christmas tale of couple learning what is truly important in life. However, this is not an all-ages Xmas film. Vaughn and Witherspoon work well together. fb713563367 Dec 2, 2008
Australia i loved this movie sooooooooooo much. i dont care what ppl say it is a great film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <33333 kelsounderthebridge Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I brought alot of thought and understanding of what is different and knowing that all movies can never be as good as book or else it be almost 4 hours long but still, this movie to me totally rocked no complaints for me.:D Moiyaz22 Dec 2, 2008
Australia Sprawling epic that suffers slightly from a fairly climactic sequence at the 2 hour mark of a 3 hour film, it still entertains for its full running time. The characters may be thinly drawn, but they're likable and you want them to be happy, the villains are suitably slimy, it's a nice production and worth a look. Recommended. kingmob6 Dec 2, 2008
Four Christmases It has lots of cute moments and I enjoyed Vince Vaughn do his standard cynical, jaded guy who finds himself stuck with increasingly frustrating circumstances. Worth a look, though nothing that's going to change your life. Give it a look. kingmob6 Dec 2, 2008
Transporter 3 Ca devait etre un plaisir coupable, ca ne l'est qu'a moitie. Certes, le 1 et le 2 etaient deja nuls, mais au moins ils etaient marrants, des nanars de baston quoi. Nuls mais vraiment funs. Mais celui ne l'est qu'a moitie. Enfin, nul, ca l'est toujours, mais fun, beaucoup moins. L'action est beaucoup moins presente, et beaucoup moins reussie. C'est toujours con, mais trop rapide. Abuse, on retrouve du Jason Bourne meme en France. Les castagnes a mains nues sont moins amusantes du coup, c'est vraiment difficilement lisible des fois. Puis ils sont relous, entre 2 bastons, a nous caser des plans sur le visage de la fille en train de sourire, histoire de bien souligner au marqueur qu'elle est en train de fantasmer sur Statham. On a compris, une fois aurait suffit. Quant aux courses poursuites, au debut ils reprennent des images de Taxi 3 en remplacant une bagnole blanche par une noire. Passable quoi, mais dans la suite du film c'est mal foutu. Olivier Megaton nous gratifie de choses bizarres, des plans aeriens qui, avec une certaine esthetique, veulent retransmettre la vitesse. Entre deux, un plan sur Statham en train de passer les vitesses ou retrograder. Bon malgre tout, c'est divertissant. Mais on prend pas son pied quoi. Tout ce qu'il y a en dehors de l'action est bien entendu tellement nul que ca donne envie de se defenestrer. Les dialogues sont ennuyeux en plus d'etre pitoyables (tout ce qui touche a la bouffe notamment). A la rigueur ce qui est a sauver, c'est la relation qu'il a avec son pote Francois Berleand, ils forment un couple amusant entre l'americain secret et le bon vieux francais. Donc en conclusion, c'est nul, mais ca on savait, et moins drole et divertissant que prevu, et ca c'est bien dommage. fb624740008 Dec 2, 2008
Twilight I haven't read the book, but I thought the movie was really good. I don't know why, but it felt like the movie was missing something. I like how it gave background information on the characters, for those of us who haven't read the book. I also liked how it left the ending open for a sequel. crclary Nov 19, 2008
Twilight i really thought that the movie would live up to all its hype... but it didnt. It fell flat on its face and was boring and slow. There were some comical parts, but even the "action" sequence at the end was boring and over-acted, just as the rest of the movie. YummYaymatrade784235 Dec 1, 2008
Australia A wonderful epic full of beautiful landscapes, history, romance and action. I truly enjoyed this film. Baz Luhrmann is a talented director with a vision of beauty. Actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman performance were stellar. It is a bit long however it flew right by for me. This film reminded me of the old hollywood epics. Another great film by Baz! Bravo! Marc45275430 Nov 23, 2008
Four Christmases This really funny, i like the way how vince vaughn talk. he is a funny man. he talks very fast but is all a good joke. i like romantic comedy. fb632444478 Dec 1, 2008
Twilight It really stayed w/ the book and the acting was great. I was not disappointed at all with this film. TheQueenOfHearts1686 Dec 1, 2008
Bolt I saw it in 3D. The novelty wore off about 1/2 hour in when I kept wanting to push up the glasses on my nose all the time. If hamsters were all like Rhino and I could understand what they were saying, I'd totally want one! fb1494238105 Nov 30, 2008
Australia It was pretty much a cinematic mess...but very visually appeasing. And whoa! Just realized David Wenham was in this!! He played Faramir, and he played really evil dude in this movie! Oh gosh, well I still didn't enjoy this movie anyways... fb1063050054 Sep 2, 2008
Twilight wasnt really impressed. the fight scene could have been better and it was too much of a "chick flick" and i lost interest about 15 minutes in. daddyaj3772758 Dec 1, 2008
