Movie which is unfunny

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 20 February 2008 06:19 (A review of Keeping Mum)

Keeping Mum is just a movie which was not funny it stars an old granny killing people either cause her daughter is sick of them or for various reasons. Rowan Atkinson plays not a really good part the whole movie is funny and just unfunny.

Best Animation i have seen

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 11 February 2008 10:21 (A review of Ratatouille)

Finally got to see this movie as it just came to DVD today 11 Feb 2008 in the UK. Well here is my review.

Ratatouille is a good movie but what I can say it is not the best movie from Pixar as Toy Story 1 that is still the best. The story is not bad the truth is this would never happen the story is set in France though quite a few talk in American rather then a French accent. Anyway back to the story this is about a rat called Remy who would love to be a chef he loves the work of chef Auguste Gusteau when he dies Gusteau appears as a ghost to Remy. Chef Gusteau leads Remy and gives him some help on getting into the real kitchen. Remy then finds Linguini a guy with little talent which would then lead Remy to help out Linguini.

The animation is something that this movie is great on it looks so real and detailed. The animation makes this movie one of the best looking you will have seen.

Underdog is here to save the day

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 6 February 2008 06:14 (A review of Underdog)

Underdog an idea from an old cartoon classic comes to real life. After a problem in the lab Shoeshine gets powers that turns him into a super hero. Along the way he takes out the bad guys. But the main person looking for Shoeshine is an evil midget with a dopey partner trying to catch Shoeshine and remove his powers.

The movie is good, funny and entertaining Jason Lee does excellent voice work for Shoeshine which fits in perfectly. Which also makes you think i wish my dog was like that. But a total let is that it only lasts for about 1 hour and 15 minutes and thats without the credits pretty short for a movie in my mind.

Could of been Good

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 26 January 2008 07:47 (A review of Christmas with the Kranks)

This movie was not that bad this is all about Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis wanting to skip Christmas to go on a holiday in the sun. Dan Aykroyd plays the main man on the street and will not rest until they put Frosty up there is some crazy stuff in the movie but does offer little laughs.

Great Movie

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 26 January 2008 07:42 (A review of Jingle All the Way)

I don't understand how this was rated as one of the worst Christmas movies. This is one of the best Christmas movies out there and its true if your looking for toy for your son or daughter your going to look everywhere and make them happy on that day.
Sinbad who plays The Mailman just makes the movie even better.

Bee Movie review

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 19 January 2008 11:49 (A review of Bee Movie)

Finally Dreamworks have a good animation i can't stand Shrek and the others they made but Bee Movie is entertaining. Jerry Seinfeld brings a good voice to the movie.

AVP: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem review

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 19 January 2008 11:37 (A review of AVP: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem)

AVP R i went to see this as there was no other good movies on in the cinema and i never seen the first movie but this was pretty good. The death scenes are pretty violent like Predator shots a blade at Alien then goes straight to the girl and pins her to the wall. There is death scenes that have children as well including the Aliens kill a bunch of baby's in the hospital but that is off screen.
My favorite scene is when Predator blowing the 2 stoned guys heads off it was funny. The acting was alright I think Predator is better then the Aliens i find the Predators have a lot more respect. It is well worth checking out for some gory action but it also made me laugh for some strange reason. The worst part is the ending it sucks and it was a little to retarded.

Zathura: A Space Adventure review

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 13 January 2008 09:30 (A review of Zathura: A Space Adventure)

Zathura was a really good movie it was funny in some parts. The best stuff about this movie is the effects like the space effect because it looked so real and it was just done really well.
The story was interesting and not a single part in the movie was boring it was all entertaining.

School for Scoundrels review

Posted : 1 year, 12 months ago on 4 December 2007 03:49 (A review of School for Scoundrels)

School for Scoundrels is a pretty weird movie but i found it funny and entertaining it's a movie i can watch again and again.

Jon Heder and Billy Bob Thornton should team up again in another movie because they were great together in this.
