How To Train Your Dragon

04 Aug

How to Train Your Dragon is probably the best Dreamworks picture we have ever seen.

If you didn’t know it was a Dreamworks picture, we wouldn’t be surprised if you thought it was a Pixar film.

This movie is almost as good as those amazing Pixar movies out there.

First off, let us say that you must watch this movie in 3D.

It’s not one of those movies that has 3D for the sake of it.

The visuals are absolutely stunning and a definite must see in 3D.

It’s not very predictable, it is enjoyable for both adults and young kids.

From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon.”

Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers.

Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

Warning: The Dragons may look a little scary to some younger kids.

All in all, the visuals are perfect.

Enjoy! ;) magic

Letters to Juliet

03 Jun

Most Romantic Comedies disappoint us because they either drag on through a lot of silliness that would never happen as blatantly as it does in the movie, or they just seem to artificially drag out the story without seeming to have a point and then they suddenly hurry the plot along as if running out of film.

This one does none of that; it doesn’t drag at any point, the scenery was amazing and obviously the director spent a lot of time getting the scenic shots right because while not obvious some were taken in late spring while others were taken in early fall.

The two principle actors Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave were perfect in their parts while Adriano Guerri, Christopher Egan and Gael García Bernal were outstanding in support.

This is one of the best romantic comedies we’ve seen in a while.

When a young American (Amanda Seyfried) travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love.

After answering one letter dated 1957, she inspires its author (Vanessa Redgrave) to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love, and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined.

Get Him To The Greek

02 Jun

Get Him To The Greek, is hilarious we laughed throughout the entire movie … Even during parts of the film that weren’t even that funny.

This film is funny, but, when compared to other comedy’s such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Hang Over or Supberbad, it is not that funny.

If you see this movie, and you take it too seriously, you will not enjoy it, some of the humor may not be found to be humorous to everyone that see this 80% of the jokes are about drugs.

As much as we enjoyed this movie, we would not recommend it to someone that is looking to see a masterpiece plot.

Despite Russell Brand not being such as great actor, he actually did a pretty good job in this film, and did a great job with his charictor, and the comedy itself.

To sum this all up, we would just simplystate that it is a great, entertaining, and interesting film.

Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done; the ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment.

His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour.

His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril.

British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex.

Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life.

View Trailer

But that doesnt mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it.

When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her backright before kick-starting his world domination.

Drag me to Hell

30 May

Drag me to Hell is, really, a throwback in so many ways to the fun of The Evil Dead 2.

The camera angles, the excellent score – it all recalls how Raimi played with us in his earlier trilogy.

What has changed however, is the sense of pace.

We know its coming and Raimi employs all his skills to draw out the tension. :)

The thrills are all there in place, perhaps a little too much CGI is indulged in but its easy to forgive in a film as wicked and blackly comic as this.

The film is disturbing for a 15 as well, again this is a mark of tension that Raimi creates with the score and camera work throughout the film.

So incredibly refreshing to see a horror film with out the hallmarks of the recent saw franchise.

Special mention for the ending, which has conviction and guts and was the proverbial cherry on top of the cake – throughly entertaining.

An original tale of a young woman’s desperate quest to break an evil curse.

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious L.A. loan officer with a charming boyfriend, professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long).

Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan.

Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break?

Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss!

Driven To Kill

04 May

“Driven to Kill” (originally, and more appropriately, titled “Ruslan”) is one of the best Steven Seagal flicks in a long time.

It would take a few million dollars, a lot of retakes and a car chase or two to make this into a theatrical action-exploitation flick along the lines of “Taken,” but for a DTV movie Driven to Kill is actually quite exceptional.

As for a Seagal DTV this is up there with Urban Justice and better than Pistol Whipped. It reminds me of Charles Bronson’s low budget mid-80s movies like Murphy’s Law.

A former Russian mobster named Ruslan, who is now a crime novelist, returns home and discovers his daughter is marrying his arch nemesis.

His past also comes back to haunt him when his family is threatened. Hungry for justice, Ruslan returns to the life he once knew…with a vengeance.

Race to Witch Mountain

18 Mar

fukIf aliens exist, and if they have access to the films made from Earth, they would likely make a mental note to remind themselves that should they visit our planet on terms other than a hostile takeover or annihilation, to avoid landing in the USA at all costs. :P

Race to Witch Mountain being Disney fare means the toning down of practically everything to ensure that it is safe for the entire family to experience together.

Dwayne Johnson seems right at home in family friendly flicks like The Game Plan, and I guess his action days on screen will be few and far between.

For years, stories have circulated about a secret place in the middle of the Nevada desert, known for unexplained phenomena and strange sightings.

It’s called Witch Mountain, and when a Las Vegas cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) finds two teens with supernatural powers in his cab, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of an adventure he can’t explain. :)

enjoy! ;) magic

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

15 Jan

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People looked like it might be different to the average rom-com we get these days, it looked like it was going to be a smart and satirical look at mainstream Hollywood.

It’s in exactly the same vein as Run Fat Boy Run.

I’m not saying that it’s a bad film because it isn’t and neither is Run Fat Boy Run, but just felt like I’d seen it all before.

Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour.

His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media obsessed stars and bucks trends, and so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed conservative New York based Sharps magazine its something of a shock!
