Recent Reviews By HELLCAT1983
 | Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (Film)Refreshing teen romance - hellcat1983For whatever reason, maybe due to the fact that I am unfamiliar with the book, I expected this to be just a bland dramatic rom-com fairly similar to Juno which I always though to be overrated. But I was cleary very mistaken, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist is a laid back joy ride into the underage gig culture in New York City. With music being the main more ... |
 | Zack And Miri Make A Porno (Film)Smith certainly doesn't disappoint! - hellcat1983Well Kevin Smith has finally done it! He's finally made a brilliant film without recycling familiar characters and relying on cameos from his famous actor buddies. Ever since the absolute disaster that was "Jersey Girl", a film that flopped on all accounts despite its stellar cast, I didn't think he was capable of making a good movie sans Jay more ... |
 | Lakeview Terrace (Film)Not really worth your while - hellcat1983Samuel L. Jackson stars in this Suburban crime drama as LAPD cop Abel Turner. Abel is a widower and single father raising 2 kids in an upper middle-class Los Angeles neighbourhood. However, Abel's idylic neighbourhood is shattered when an interracial couple move next-door creating major tension between the two households as Abel very openly disapproves of more ... |
 | Role Models (Film)Hysterical! - hellcat1983This film is nothing short of hysterical and upon hearing about it I assumed it was just another Apatow flick, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was co-written by Paul Rudd himself. I love Rudd as an actor and it's very satisfying to see him as the leading man for once! He also has great chemitry with Sean William Scott and the pair play more ... |
 | Eden Lake (Film)Never-ending nightmare! - hellcat1983As a fan of horror, this film has absolutely stunned me! Most would consider this a thriller but once things get going almost every scene is absolutely horrific. From start to finish you are reeled into a complete nightmare. And instead of some insane masked stalker or an Asian white-faced lurker, you're realisticly faced with a gang of hoodlums so bored more ... |
 | How To Lose Friends And Alienate People (Film)Funny & sweet! - hellcat1983I know the word sweet won't be used a lot in realtion to this film, but ultimately I thought it was quite sweet! I would also compare this film a lot to Devil Wears Prada as I think it's similiar in its objective, which is that you have to stay true to yourself and being in the limelight and a success is not always what it seems. Simon Pegg plays Sidney more ... |
 | A Film With Me In It (Film)Hilarious! - hellcat1983I honestly can't understand any negative criticism surrounding this movie and how anybody couldn't find this hilarious. Obviously the concept of dark humour has escaped them. And I don't consider this to be a ripoff of Shallow Grave, which is really like saying that this is a ripoff of any black comedy just because it's in the same genre. Admittedly towards more ... |
 | Burn After Reading (Film)Burn After Watching... - hellcat1983...should be the title of this film. God this film was awful in every possible way and I was so disappointed with this being a Coen brothers film and all. I also can't understand the hype and positive criticism surrounding this film either and believe had this not been a creation of the infamous Coen brothers, it would not have been very well received. The more ... |
 | The Ruins (Video)Different! - hellcat1983I couldn't even decide while watching this film whether it worked or not and was truly achieving its goal of trying to stand out from the crowd whilst still managing to be scary and not border on the plain ridiculous. But by the end of the film, I was convinced it did work. It certainly set out to achieve its goal and also contained some tragic drama more ... |
 | Get Smart (Film)Get Smart should have got a lot smarter! - hellcat1983This film could have merited a 3 star rating from me had it been a lot shorter. But despite the funny quips by Carrell, this is very little substance or plot used as filler. While indeed there are extremely funny moments and lines, the humour is far too sparse and a lot of the in-between scenes are just a blur. Carrell is on top form here though however, as more ... |
 | Midnight Meat Train (Film)The true definition of horror - hellcat1983I was almost tempted to give this film 5 stars, it is actually that good! It's very nice and refreshing to see a film like this break the chain of remakes and complete horror failures as of late. Based on Clive Barker's (the man responsible for both Candyman & Hellraiser) "Books of Blood" short story, sees photographer Leon struggle to achieve more ... |
 | Step Brothers (Film)Halfway there and halfway nowhere - hellcat1983This could have potentially been a brilliant film and without a doubt best comedy of the year, but unfortunately John C. Reilly & Will Ferrell fail to re-create the chemistry they had together in Talladega Nights so a lot of the gags are a hit and miss scenario. Ferrell & Reilly star as Brennan & Dale respectively, both 40-year olds still living more ... |
 | The Rocker (Film)Extremely funny! - hellcat1983This is a very refreshing & extremely funny comedy centered (you guessed it) around the rock music industry. Rainn Wilson, who admittedly I have never seen or heard of before, is very impressive as has-been rock star Robert "Fish" Fishman, a former drummer for rock legends Vesuvius who dumped poor Fish just as they were about to hit the big more ... |
 | My Best Friend's Girl (Film)Very entertainning! - hellcat1983I really liked this film and I really didn't expect to seeing as how I ordinarily don't go for romantic comedies. But this film is more about the comedy aspect, I feel, and less about the romance so maybe that explains my liking of it. Also, there's geuine chemistry between the two leads, Kate Hudson & Dane Cook, and here Hudson really reflects why her more ... |
 | The House Bunny (Film)Charming! - hellcat1983I really liked and enjoyed this film throughout, while it was a little predictable especially towards the end, it's certainly a feel good flick which is a definite breath of fresh air seeing as how action flicks have been dominating the box office recently. While some people might liken this film to Legally Blonde, I can't even compare the two. Legally more ... |
 | Eagle Eye (Film)Executed very poorly - hellcat1983I really don't know what to say about this film, nor what it was even supposed to be. I guess it was trying so hard to be unique and stand out from modern day action flicks that it forgot about everything else, especially realism. And the fact that it has actors like Billy Bob Thornton & Rosario Dawnson in it is all the more confusing. After the death more ... |
 | Planet Terror (Video)The better half! - hellcat1983This is the slightly more successful half of the Rodriguez/Tarrantoni double-feature Grindhouse. This featurette truly pays homage to the Grindhouse flicks of the '70's with its over-the-top storyline, action galore and gore a plenty. The movie stylishly kicks off with a Rose McGowan lapdance scene in a Go-go bar. Upon quitting her job to become a comedian more ... |
 | Definitely, Maybe (Video)Another rom-com - hellcat1983Ryan Reynolds stars in this romantic comedy as a single dad telling his daughter the story of how himself and her mother met. There is a twist, however, as he tells the story of how he becane involved with three women and changing their names so his daughter can't guess which woman is her mother. This adds a nice air of mystery to the film as you're left more ... |
 | The Eye (Video)Another inferior Asian remake - hellcat1983Jessica Alba stars as a blind violinist who undergoes a complicated surgical procedure to completely restore her vision, in short, an eye transplant. As Alba's character grows acustom to her new eyes, she begins seeing things that she isn't supposed to leading her to believe they indeed are a window to the afterlife. This film certainly delivers with its more ... |
 | You Don't Mess With The Zohan (Film)Average... - hellcat1983As with Mike Myer's The Love Guru, I also felt that Sandler's attempt fell short, of course in comparing it to his former delights such as The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy & Happy Gilmore. This time Sandler plays Scrappy Coco, an Israeli hairdresser who travels to New York on a mission to make hair silky smooth. There he eventually lands a job in a more ... |
 | 27 Dresses (Video)Always the bridesmaid but never the bride - hellcat1983Above average rom-com with leading lady Katherine Heigl playing a neurotic personal assistant to a boss she's in love with. Heigl's character Jane has earned the reputation of looking after everybody but herself and has been maid of honour in 27 different weddings (hence the title). Trouble and tension arises when Jane's spoilt little sis Tess comes to town more ... |
 | Death Proof (Video)I actually quite like this film... - hellcat1983...while it is nothing like Tarrantino' previous victories and he appeares to become increasingly self-indulgent, it's still fun nonetheless. Kurt Russell heads the cast as the effective and charismatic Stuntman Mike, a serial killer who offs previously targeted women in a very unique way with the help of hid death proof vehicle. The first section of the more ... |
 | The Love Guru (Film)Very dissapointing... - hellcat1983...considering Myer's past accomplishments, including the Austin Powers franchise & Waynes World 1 & 2. This time round, Mike Myers stars as an Inida born Guru hired to revive of the marriage of a Canadian hockey team's star player. The opening musical sequence is very reminiscent of Myer's previous Austin Powers films but the remainder of the movie more ... |
 | Mirrors (Film)Nothing we haven't seen before - hellcat1983This is probably just another Asian remake judging by the premise alone. Kierfer Sutherland plays an ex-cop desperately trying to salvage his family life who takes a job as a night security guard at a burned down insane asylum. While the setting is extremely creepy in itself, the movie fails to use this to its full extent & instead opts for cheap more ... |
 | Step Up 2 the Streets (Video)As good as the original in some ways... - hellcat1983The dancing no doubt better with this installment but the storyline is weak and there is also very little character development not to mention no chemistry between the two leads. Briana Evigan plays Andie, a troubled teen who skips school to dance with street crew 410. As Andie evades arrest after a public prank, her guardian vows to send her to live with more ... |
 | Mamma Mia! (Film)Light-hearted fun! - hellcat1983Light-hearted enjoyable musical comedy that even I liked, which is odd seeing as how I'm not a fan of Abba's music. But you can get past that because you'll be laughing for most of the duration of this movie. Set on an idylic Greek island, Mean Girl's Amanda Seyfried plays Sophie, a girl about to get married to boyfriend sky but left without a father figure more ... |
 | Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Video)Not as good as other Apatow productions... - hellcat1983...but enjoyable none the less. This is Jason Segal's first outing as the leading male who has just been dumped (and while completely naked at that) by actress girlfriend Sarah Marshall (played by Veronica Mars star Kirsten Bell). As Segal's character, Peter, tries to overcome the painful breakup through a series of one-night stands and moping around the more ... |
 | Shrooms (Video)Absolutely awful! - hellcat1983I seriously cannot believe that this movie was created by the same people who gave us Man About Dog. This is a cliche ridden nightmare, constantly borrowing from other films, such as The Ring & The Grudge, and is utterly and totally unrealistic. As you watch this, you're constantly trying to figure out where the makers are going with this and what more ... |
 | In Bruges (Video)Absolutely brilliant! - hellcat1983I loved this movie and was never a fan of Colin Farrell until I saw it! Farrell & Gleeson star as two hitmen forced to retreat to the lovely city of Bruges when Farrell botches his first and only job. The film is filled with dark humour, action and hilarious quips from Farrell throughout, including a side splitting scene involving a bunch of overweight more ... |
 | The Strangers (Film)Tense & Creepy! - hellcat1983Inspired by the true story of the Manson family killings, The Strangers stars Liv Tyler & Scott Speedman as a couple retreating to an isolated family cottage after a wedding reception. What follows is extremely tense, eerie and nail-biting moments as the couple are stalked by a trio of masked strangers. What's so terrifying about this moment is you more ... |
 | The Hottie and the Nottie (Video)Highly unbelievable! - hellcat1983The main problem with this movie is why they had to ugly Hilton's co-star up so much to enable Hilton to be the hottie. And by ugly up, I mean decaying teeth, face boils, extremely overgrown eyebrows, lack of hair pigmentation and of course very unattractive clothing. Couldn't they have just hired somebody unattractive to beging with? And of course we all more ... |
 | Gone Baby Gone (Film)Excellent film! - hellcat1983As I understand it, this film was postponed due to the abduction of Madeline McCann which is a clever move considering the theme of the film. Casey Afleck leads the cast as a private detective hired to find the missing child of an irresponsible single mother. As Afleck's quest begins so does the viewer's journey into a disturbing world occupied by more ... |
 | Death Race (Film)Very entertaining! - hellcat1983This is an action movie and it certainly delivers in this remake starring Jason Statham as his usual tough guy persona a la Crank & The Transporter. The premise is very original, although a little predictable towards the end & the action sequences are packed full of gore as the inmates race to the death, literally. Statham plays Jensen Ames, an more ... |
 | Pineapple Express (Film)Don't go in expecting Superbad! - hellcat1983Because this certainly is no Superbad! Although Rogan does deliver with humour, action and the male bonding that seems obligatory with most Apatow productions, it could have been a whole lot more! The plot basically consists of two stoners (Rogen & Franco) running from the city's number one drug lord (Cole), after Rogan (who plays a legal server with a more ... |
 | The Dark Knight (Film)Unblievable! - hellcat1983This is The Lord Of The Rings of 2008, only much much darker, better acted and better written. This is no doubt every bit as good as you've heard. Christian Bale reprises his role as the hoarse masked vigilante trying to bring peace to the citizens of Gotham City, which is over run by the mob and various villains. The film is very quick paced and it's also more ... |
 | Disaster Movie (Film)What a Disaster! - hellcat1983I only give this film 1 star simply because there is no zero option. As with previous critically & publicly despised installments, including Meet The Spartans & Epic Movie, Disaster Movie fails as a spoof or parody on every level possible. It fails in spoofing any disaster movie and merely references two of them instead while throwing in stabs at more ... |
 | Tropic Thunder (Film)Better the second time round - hellcat1983The only thing that really stands out with this film are the note-worthy performances from both Robert Downet Jr. (ressurecting his career playing Academy award winning Aussie Kirk Lazurus, who has undergone skin pigmentation surgery to play the role of an African-American seargent), & Jack Black as a hilarious addict providing much comic relief more ... |
 | Taken (Film)Excellent! - hellcat1983Clearly Gavin Burke hasn't ever a clue what he's about. The premise of the story is that Neeson has 96, not 16 as Burke previously stated, hours to find his daughter who has been abducted shortly after arriving in Paris with a older friend only for both to be initiated into the world of sex slavery. What follows is action sequence after action sequence with more ... |
