I liked it for the most part. I don't think the actor who played Zod was nearly as good as Terrence Stamp though and the lack of the classic John Williams score was a big downside.

Prisoners (2013)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392214/

Riveting, tense thriller asking how far would a parent would go to find his missing daughter.

As a Father myself, I would had done the exact same thing Hugh Jackman's character did in this film and MORE!! Much Much MORE!!

4.5/5

I would had given it to 5/5 but the screenwriters were not imaginative enough.

There should had been more depiction of brutal torture inflicted on the sick bast~ard!

Anyone who hurts children gets no sympathy or mercy from me.

I want to see this too. You usually can't go wrong with Hanks.

Boardwalk Empire and The Daily Show.

Still enjoying both, and pretty much the only shows I watch.

After 2 1/2 years, I've finally got around to watching

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298650/

I thought the 1st three films were bad.

This one is even worse.

Even Penelope Cruz couldn't save this movie.

Keira was not the best of actress but at least you could understand the English words out of her mouth.

Penelope?

Not so much!

Her English is so broken and poor and so incomprehensible without the help of text subtitles, you just have to wonder who she's been sucking off to get roles in Hollywood all these years.

Additionally, the parts in the film showing the abuse and mistreatment of the mermaids was totally unnecessary!!

This movie is directed at kids and pre-teens and teens?

What are we teaching them?

To mistreat and abuse and kill people because they are different?

It's no wonder why so many kids are being bullied in school and on Twitter and Facebook and some of them are even driven to suicide!

Furthermore, every time after I've watched one of these Pirates movies, I feel like I need to take a long hot shower afterward.

The characters in the movie just look filthy and they give you that filthy unbathed yucky feeling!

I hope they don't make any more of these rancid slimey movies!

This movie supports my past statement that a big box office earners doesn't always necessarily a good film make;

it's just further evidence that movie audience nowadays are sheep!

They flock to noisy big budget CGI ridden films the same way flies are attracted to poop while many small budget and independent celluloid gems go unnoticed at the box office.

Without a doubt ColJames,you are my favorite movie reviewer ever yep


If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

Hollywood is a business. They will make films that will bring in the largest audiences possible. Saying that box office success doesnt necessarily equal quality is like saying women have boobs. It's a given.

I tried to watch this and had to shut it off after about 30 min.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2167202/

Bad script and above all, bad acting from piggy face Selena Gomez.

Even with simple lines like Pull Over, Slow Down, I am going to Die, You are going to get us killed, which doesn't requires an Classically Trained Academy Awards caliber actress to pull off, she makes the simple delivery of those lines look real bad.

A kid in a school play with no commercial acting experience can do so much better than Selena can.

Furthermore, the entire time I was watching it, I kept thinking she has a better future doing porn where no acting skills and dialogue delivery are required.

I could have told you right off the bad that any movie with Selena Gomez would be total crap.

It was both a critical and commercial flop.

I knew it was crap before I even started watching it.

But how can you screw up a movie with car chases.

Even those cheesy 70-80's car chase movies like Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run and Convoy were better than Getaway.

Shield of Straw (2013)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2347144/

Another masterpiece by renowned Japanese director Takashi Miike.

The story is similar to the 2003 film "SWAT" except the Japanese do it better, with more heart, more soul, more human touch and great exposition without the unnecessary big special effects, explosions laced, implausible Hollywood action set pieces.

Now You See Me

A different type of heist film. Not great, but fairly good, and I didn't guess the "whodunnit" till the very end. They misdirected well, in a film all about misdirection.

Also probably the only time I've liked Mark Ruffalo in something other than The Avengers.

Nice seeing Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman in a film together that's NOT Batman. smile

Trailer to the new Hercules movie.

Looks awful!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32aK1E6Vxlo

I hate that photography technique!

In the action sequences where it slows down to slow motion and then speeds up.

It's very annoying.

Is it just in the trailer or is the movie going to be like that?
