 | The Dark Knight (Film)OMG!!!! - amy“Batman” isn't a comic book anymore. Christopher Nolan's “The Dark Knight” is a haunted film that leaps beyond its origins and becomes an engrossing tragedy. It creates characters we come to care about. That's because of the performances, because of the direction, because of the writing, and because of the superlative technical more ... |
 | Adulthood (Film)okay - amyNOEL Clarke's follow-up to urban drama Kidulthood is a flawed cautionary tale that struggles to avoid falling victim to its own message. Set six years after the events of the original, the film picks up as former bully Sam (Clarke) is released from prison for the killing of Trife and sets about integrating himself back into society over the course of 24 more ... |
 | Good Luck Chuck (Video)been there done that... - amyIf you've seen a preview for Good Luck Chuck you've probably thought: “oh great another romantic comedy where the hero finds himself in ridiculous and painful situations courtesy of his new smoking hot girlfriend,” or even more likely: “oh great another Ben Stiller movie…wait isn't this The Heartbreak Kid?” Either way, you've more ... |
 | Gone Baby Gone (Film)well worth the wait... - amyChild-abduction stories are a sticky proposition, because their inherent suspense invites the most sickening sort of exploitation, as audiences are left to wonder what's being done to an innocent, defenseless creature. But Gone Baby Gone, based on the Dennis Lehane novel and directed with steady assurance by Ben Affleck, works hard to defuse this tension in more ... |
 | The Happening (Film)intriging... - amyThe set-up of the film is admittedly intriguing. It opens in New York City's iconic Central Park (in my mind, the worst place to be EVER, considering how often it suffers from disasters in Hollywood) on an idyllic summer morning. Suddenly, at 8:33 am, several pedestrians freeze, going dead still. Carnage then unfolds as people start killing themselves off more ... |
 | The Incredible Hulk (Film)hulktastic!!!! - amyHeavy on the muscle mass and light on the drama, this Hulk version directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter) is not exactly new and improved, but works its own brand of differently conceived mega-action magic on the audience. In summation, the green guy rules again. more ... |
 | Terror's Advocate (Film)worth watching - amyTerror's Advocate is a chilling study of one man's role in the entangled web of twentieth-century terrorism. Told with the dramatic pacing of a political thriller, barbet Schroeder's intense and compelling documentary features an astonishing cast of characters, from resistance fighters to terrorists to war criminals, who have been witnesses and participants more ... |
 | Shotgun Stories (Film)i like it... - amyThe southern gothic Shotgun Stories has more drama in one gesture than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has in an entire movie. That gesture is an insult, a hefty globule of sputum, cruelly spat on the funeral coffin of a dead father. The offender is Son Hayes (Michael Shannon), one of three dirt-poor brothers abandoned by the more ... |
 | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Film)ok..... - amySpielberg and producer George Lucas had been dragging their feet for years on a third Indiana Jones sequel, searching for the right script, and the one they've settled on feels like an overstuffed amalgam of rejected drafts. Though that's in keeping with the more-is-more spirit of the series, it also makes the film seem exhausted and labored in the middle more ... |
 | Coach Carter (Video)Inspired.. - amyThe Richmond High Oilers have not had a good record, winning only four games last season, and it's time for a change in management. Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson), a record-maker when he attended Richmond, is looking into possibly taking the job as their new coach, and after watching them play his son Damien's (Robert Ri'chard) high school St. Francis and more ... |
 | Speed Racer (Film)Very wacky - amyin a summer full of remakes, rehashes and sequels, it's good to see something fresh. And let's face it, Batman, Iron Man, The Hulk and even Doctor Jones are about original as William Shatner's hair. Speed Racer is an original film. Yes, it's an adaptation of a cartoon series, and no its story is not groundbreaking in any way, but - and it's a big slap you more ... |
 | There Will Be Blood (Film)A pure Masterpiece!! - amyIt begins simply – a lone man, digging down. Swinging his sparking pick-axe carving with a desperate drive to find gold. He places a stick of dynamite into a crack he made – lights it and gets out of the hole, trying desperately to pull his tools up with him. The blast goes off – he anxiously tries to make his way into the hole, only to more ... |
 | Foals - Antidotes (CD)Hit of the Year!! - amyFoals are a exciting young band from Oxford, England. "Antidotes" is the type of album that can revive the British indie scene from its post-Artic Monkeys hang over. There are no songs here about going out and getting a few beers and having a great time with your friends or any of that nonsense. The album will get called "math-rock" and more ... |
 | In Bruges (Film)ok - amySo I saw a trailer for In Bruges a few weeks back and got a feeling that we were looking at something not a million miles removed from Guy Ritchie before he got involved with Madonna. As a result, it was decided that we would go see it. As you do. Now to review it. Is it a brilliant film? Brilliant is not a word I would use, no. In fact, I am having some more ... |
 | Adele - 19 (CD)amy winehouse and more... - amyAdele has been called the new Amy Winehouse Without even yet releasing her first full length album London born singer Adele Laurie Blue Adkins professionally known as simply Adele has already gained a huge popularity both in her homeland and abroad. The singles Hometown Glory and Chasing Pavements are now the favorite songs of many people of different ages more ... |
 | Street Kings (Film)GREAATTTT!! - amyThe first 30 minutes of Street Kings seems like the best cop movie since Training Day. Keanu Reeves plays a hard edged badass who gets the job done, because that's what it really takes, not these nice cops who use nice language. He's realistically and cleverly racist, and takes a beating. He handles the moral police with appropriate sarcasm, making the more ... |
 | Lars and the Real Girl (Film)Great indie flick!! - amyLars (Ryan Gosling) is a shy small town boy. His brother and sister-in-law want to help him get social and townies want to fix him up, but he just keeps to himself. One day he orders a real sex doll and introduces her to the family as his girlfriend. The town shrink suggests that everyone play along to work out his delusion, and hilarity ensues. Gosling more ... |
 | Leatherheads (Film)Overall...a home run..DOH!!I mean Field goal! - amyI have a lot of respect for the Clooney, he's spent his time perfecting not only his craft but his persona and yet at the same time he still seems pretty fresh...and honestly how many Oscar nominees do you know of from both Return of The Killer Tomatoes and The Facts of Life? The guy has done his time in the trenches of Hollywood hell and came out smelling more ... |
 | OneRepublic - Dreaming Out Loud (CD)Good... - amyDreaming Out Loud is the debut album by alt-rock band One Republic. The quintet is headed by singer-songwriter and record producer Ryan Tedder. The group has experienced some changes in their roster since its creation, but the founders, Tedders and high school chum Zach Filkins, seem to have found a line-up that is a perfect fit. Tedders and Filkins have more ... |
 | 21 (Film)Acceptable... - amyIn 21, Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is our Joel Goodsen. His sheltered life as the smart well behaved kid has gotten him into MIT and Harvard medical school, but he lacks a real life experience. Harvard won't grant him the $300,000 scholarship, because while he does have the grades his life story does not dazzle. In other words. he's just other smart kid, more ... |
 | Funny Games U.S. (Film)Creepy... - amyAnna (Naomi Watts), George (Tim Roth), and their young son Georgie leave the big city and head up to a secluded, snooty, Hamptons like lakeside. They plan a fun vacation of sailing, golfing, and grilling. Into their life walks Paul (Michael Pitt) and Peter (Brady Corbet), two effete young men who claim to be staying with the next door neighbors. When a tiff more ... |
 | Into the Wild (Film)very good - amyThe beauty of Into the Wild, which Penn has written and directed with magnificent precision and imaginative grace, is that what Christopher is running from is never as important as what he's running to. He craves splendor and risk, a way of shaking off his suburban numbness. And he craves it so badly that he gets addicted to it. He's a Gen-X Candide who more ... |
 | The Hottie and the Nottie (Film)What is the world coming too? - amyThe film's paper-thin plot centers around Nate Cooper (Joel David Moore), a slacker who suddenly realizes that his relationship troubles can be traced back to his kindergarten crush on a girl named Cristobel. He resolves to track her down, and discovers that she has, of course, blossomed into Hilton. Using their childhood connection to get close to her, more ... |

 | 27 Dresses (Film)GREAATTTT!! - amyYou go to the movies and all the movies are already started....EXCEPT 27 dresses, now i know what your thinking another chick flick. It is a chick flick but it has a really original theme to it,and come on who doesn't want to see Katherine Heigl sing along to elton john's Bennie and the jets on a bar. As usual the tall, heartbreaker pulls of a great more ... |
 | Charlie Bartlett (Film)Fresh,Original and fantastic Movie - amyThis Movie deals with some serious issues concerning the youth of today.Its a teen movie but its not all about a soppy love story.Its about kids who want to be accepted and kids who just want to be listened too for a change. What Charlie bartlett comes down to is BBBBRRILLIANT.(sorry it had to be said) Truthfully i cant find the words to review this film more ... |
 | Never Back Down (Film)Nothing You've Never Seen Before. - amyThe mixed Marshall arts in this movie where without a doubt very impressive,The acting was not so impressive and the plot was something that you turn on the t.v and there it on Coronation Street or Eastenders maybe even dawsons creek at one stage, its like and old cliche everyone keeps using over and over again- underdog achieves self respect through more ... |
 | Jumper (Film)Original - amyWell, I suppose the whole concept to "Anywhere,Anytime" is exciting really. This film was interesting the plot itself isn't just about teleporting, its about risk, responsibilty and consequence's. The story had a whole backround to it which was really good. It didnt't really give you much of that backround but really left you wanting more. Hayden more ... |
