plot holes anybody?

Posted : 16 years ago on 28 April 2008 10:46 (A review of I Am Legend)

As Prelude clearly states in his review, there are tons of plot holes, from start to finish. He's mentioned the most important ones.
My problem with this film is also with the idea - it's such a simple plot: allegedly there is one last man in NYC after a virus wipes out everyone else; he's a doctor and wants to save the world by finding a cure to the virus.
The way the plot was handled could have been better, there were so many opportunities for it to sway, but there were no surprises, just the typical Hollywood trash.

As for the acting, I can't say Will Smith impressed me. Not a noteworthy performance.

I did like the fact that there weren't many actors, and that he does go nuts (clearly visible in the video store scenes) because he lacks a social environment.

Also, I found the Dark Seekers to be terribly badly done!!!! What a crappy CGI.

Hollywood-movie lovers, watch it, it's action-packed. If you're looking for some decent script and good acting, this was pretty lame, so stay away.

stellar performances

Posted : 16 years ago on 28 April 2008 12:16 (A review of Chicago)

Chicago is one of the best musicals ever.

Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah give stellar performances, and the music is simply astounding. And the direction is one of the best I've seen.

That's one movie I watch every year :)

Academy award winner

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 11:44 (A review of Cabaret)

The score, the acting (Liza Minnelli's!) and the direction by Bob Fosse...
A winner of 8 - that's right 8 - Academy Awards, it must have done something right!

it will change your life

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:20 (A review of Dead Poets Society)

To quote the dvd's back cover, "Robin Williams delivers an extraordinary performance in one of the most compelling motion pictures of all time." Let's not forget the amazing performances of Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard.
An unforgettable movie that changes not only the lives of the students in the film, but also the viewers'.

dance and love

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:19 (A review of Dirty Dancing)

Splendid to watch, just for the dance scenes.
Jennifer Grey, and Patrick Swayze co-star brilliantly and majestically in this story about dance and love.
Superb soundtrack.

romance

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:17 (A review of Ghost)

Combine a touching love story, with a supernatural tale, comedy and a little thriller: you've got Ghost.

Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze's performances make this film a "must-see" romance.

superb

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:16 (A review of Legends of the Fall)

The epic story of three brothers and a woman who changed their lives.

A superb cast: Aidan Quinn, Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Henry Thomas and Julia Ormond.

Brilliant direction. Splendid cinematography.

superb

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:15 (A review of Lรฉon: The Professional)

What other reason would there be for watching this, but Natalie Wood, Jean Reno, and a whole lot of action and guns?

There is just something about this film that makes it stand out more than others. The acting, the directing and the cinematography are the main ones. Brilliant performances.

a mermaid in NY

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:14 (A review of Splash)

A spectacular romantic comedy - they don't make them like this anymore.
Daryl Hannah, John Candy and Tom Hanks are simply hilarious.

a must see!

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 06:13 (A review of The Green Mile)

A stellar ensemble, of which Tom Hanks in what is his best performance ever (in my humble opinion), come together in this emotional story of guards and captives, husbands and wives.

If you haven't seen this one, you should go rent (or buy) it now!
