The House Bunny I really liked this movie! It was so funny (to me)!! Definitely one of the better comedies I have seen recently!! fb672087079 Aug 23, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Featuring a knockout performance by Penelope Cruz, Woody Allen's second film this year is his freshest and most romantic comedy in at least a decade. director609 Aug 17, 2008
Traitor Seriously??? Formulaic and predictable this film is a dog! Jeff Daniels? What was he thinking. DON CHEADLE? I love Cheadle but that was embarrassing to watch. And what the hell was up w/ Guy Pearce's Mississippi accent? Laughable. I kept hoping that HE would turn out being the mole but no, it was the stereotype...What a disappointment. fb804317941 Aug 28, 2008
Mirrors Kiefer should stick to being Jack Bauer. This movie had very little suspense. It was mostly just cheap "things-pop-out-of-nowhere-with-loud-noises" scares. However, it is better than most of the asian horror remakes and it had some cool gore scenes. romulus116 Aug 28, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona This film marks Allen's return to the days of Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters, etc...an excellent and funny film. fb528465703 Aug 28, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Not a huge fan of Woody Allen, but I liked this film about two young Americans spending the summer in Barcelona. Penelope Cruz steals the spotlight as the beautiful but insane ex-wife of a flamboyant artist. The movie is rich in self-discovery and fun to watch. fb549037014 Aug 28, 2008
The Rocker standing in front of an audience is this generation's date with marilyn monroe: a dream come sooo true, dude. and so yet another rags-to-riches story of a garage band making it to the big leagues (so reminiscent of tom hank's "that thing you do!" that i had to slap myself...or was tom himself slapping me...), only this one's "twist" is that the spark to fame and fortune is an ex-old-school-heavy-metal rocker's second chance. surprisingly...it's a balanced effort, with not terrible music, and with a smile or two included. i liked this. moonrivers Aug 18, 2008
Mirrors KICK ASS!!! See this one right away! This was truly Wicked.I loved every minute of it.Better than the Orphanage in my opinion.This movie has those little hairs on the back of my neck standing up!! CRAZY!!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! XxLebaneseGirlXx Aug 6, 2008
Traitor Thought it was going to be better. The first half took a while to get going and for a while in the first half I was wondering why I was watching a movie with this kind of plot line... fb640002423 Aug 28, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Penelope Cruz es sin duda una de las criaturas mas exquisitas que han aparecido en una pelicula de Woody Allen. Scarlett Johansson en Bicicleta. Que mas se puede decir. Bien lograda, con buenos personajes y gran energia. alberto35 Aug 28, 2008
Mirrors I'm not much of a horror movie fan. So this movie was scarey for me. My fiance loves to take me to scarey movies, thats how he made his move on our first date. Lol, the great protector. Love you babe! Victor39sChula199444 Aug 28, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona A very funny film. I really enjoyed it. A good but realistic romantic film. Penelope Cruz is hilarious in this. fb507879785 Aug 15, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona A sensual and passionate movie. Penelope's character was my favorite, freely and wild. Javier was irresistible! (should stop here lol) A definitely must see movie.. fb599466262 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars This show has been getting a real beating by the movie critics and reviewers. I have not read a single positive review with even one calling it a 2 hour commercial for Star Wars toys, and many deriding it for having absolutely no plot and character development. Thankfully the truth is not as bad as those probably biased reviewers had made it to be. There is a story behind the rather silly notion of the baby of Jabba the Hutt being kidnapped by Count Dooku in an attempt to turn Jabba against the Republic. And how Anakin together with his new Padawan Ahsoka had to save baby Jabba and returned him to papa before Jabba fell into Dooku’s deceptions. Along the way, we are treated to a number of battle sequences involving lots of clones and droids and all the guns and ships and tanks we saw from Attack of the Clones. While there was nothing wrong with those action pieces, the problem is that after being treated to the glorious CGI of ILM in 2 episodes of Star Wars, the animation in The Clone Wars just does not cut it. As this is Star Wars, a few light sabar duels are obligatory; and again while there was nothing really wrong with Obi-Wan vs Asajj and Anakin vs Dooku, after seeing Yoga vs Emperor and Obi-Wan vs General Greevious in Ep 3, those fights were boring. I was expecting the fights to include stuffs that were too dangerous or impossible to pull off with CGI or in real life but those were probably the least exciting fights I can remember from Star Wars in a long time. The reviewer does get one thing right and that is Ahsoka was as annoying as hell in the movie. For someone who is supposedly still learning the way of the Force, she was just way too cocky and she does get on your nerve after a while. I have never remembered a padawan that was so accomplished with the use of the Force as Ahsoka was. I think she was a better Jedi in The Clone Wars than Anakin was in Episode 2. Still it was good to see all the gang back in action especially Obi-Wan, Yoga and Windu., including Padme who was heavily involved in exposing Dooku’s scheme in the end. I was however a little disappointed to learn from the credits that only Christopher Lee, Samuel L Jackson and Anthony Daniels reprised their respective roles for the movie. It was also good to see Anakin as a good Jedi before he was corrupted by the Emperor. Overall The Clone Wars would probably interest only the die hard Star Wars nut heads who will want to know every last details of the Star Wars mythology. For causal movie fans, this movie offered nothing that is worth paying the price of admission. fb598907821 Aug 28, 2008
Mirrors if a scary movie claims to be scary..and then actually is scary after it is viewed.. then it's called "good"..right? well the movie did scare the crap out of me so ill call it "good" lol i liked the story anyway. im all paranoid when im by a mirror now :P no really, the movie was grotesque in a few scenes. 3 stars for good acting fb502053156 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars really this movie was very dissapointing. off writing, boring action, and a rather stupid plot. the best thing about the film is the animation style. it's different and i like it. olliec500 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars I thought this might be interesting, but it turns out it's just another animated kids film. I'm not surprised many of the real actors didn't provide their voices to this. XxTazaxX Aug 7, 2008
Mirrors Je suis allé voir Miroirs et ce n'est pas fort. Histoire qui dans la première motié du film ne va nulle part et est plate et dans le 2ième partie du film semble un mélange de plusieurs film (Le Cercle, The Grunge, etc). Effets spéciaux déja vu dans d'autres films et manqués la plupart du temps. L'actrice noire (femme de Keifer Sutherland dans le film) est très poche. Le films se passe 60% du temps dans le noir. On voit venir l'histoire et 'les bouts angoissants' d'avances. Finalement à voir le mardi à $5.00 si ça vous démange, sinon attendre le DVD. Nous étions 4 dans la salle! Peut-être qu'à force de trop voir ce genre de film je deviens trop exigeant? 1.5/5 fb832873974 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Another great tale from the Star Wars universe. If you love Star Wars then this will not disappoint. fb646235597 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Shockingly bad - from the god-awful opening voiceover, atrocious script and just plain poor animation, to the lame storyline and damp squib of an ending. If you still haven't got the idea how bad this film is, then wait until you see Jabba the Hutt's camp, cross-dressing uncle. Jesus Christ... fb573878688 Aug 28, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Perhaps Woody Allen's best film in over eight years, "Vicky Christina Barcelona" offers a nuanced, self-assured, beautifully acted cavalcade of love, desire and the lifeblood of creativity. Stars Javier Bardem, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson and especially Penelope Cruz shine in this absurdist four-sided love triangle that easily could have been just another tepid rumination that Allen has been struggling with throughout his career; instead, "Vicky Christina Barcelona" effortlessly transcends the ordinary, thanks largely to Allen, who seems to have finally stopped running away from his natural talents as a filmmaker and-thankfully-embraced his former self, the one full of cinematic riches that was cultivated over the years with the love of Fellini, Bergman, Chekhov, Louis Armstrong and Humphrey Bogart. "Vicky Christina Barcelona" is one of the bright spots of the films of 2008, and also of Woody Allen's distinguished canon of love poems. fb1180052295 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars I was excited to see this movie as I hoped it would give me what the prequels didn't, a good solid storyline. My hopes have been dashed yet again!! The combination of fart jokes and a crossing dressing Hutt totally killed me. Not to mention Anakin walking into Tatooine like nothing ever happened. (Blew all my EU readings out of the water!) I give this movie half a star cause my kids enjoyed it. fb727943366 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars The movie is clearly for Kids. Don't bother with the multiple continuity issues, George Lucas can do what ever he wants, just don't watch the next one he makes. I would stay away from the cartoon series that is supposed to come out. The last one was horrible. fb637629691 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Hum hum... Georges Lucas ferait peut-être bien de ne plus trop toucher à son oeuvre, ici on a droit à un Ersatz de Star Wars,fort centré sur la relation entre Anakin et sa jeune Padawan. C'est pas terrible, au point de vue scénaristiquen ni trop au niveau graphique. Bref un Star Wars du pauvre, j'avais trouvé les épisodes de Cartoon Network bien meilleurs, même s'ils étaient plus court. On y ressentait réellement l'intensité de la guerre. Ici beaucoup moins. Enfin bon c'est un unvers que l'on aime bien alors on est un peu indulgent (mais pas trop)... fb1309987726 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race awesome and pretty cool movie i really like it... of corz the movie was for sure good bcoz of jason s... fb675662546 Aug 28, 2008
Mirrors I did jump from my seat but not from the scenes that were actually supposed to be scary...I mean when that bird just pop'd out from out of no where i was so freaked out. fb510240114 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny I LOVE ANNA FARIS! Its the same dumb blond joke movie thing, but she gives it such a twist that its like new again. Awesome funny movie. Totally fun to watch. fb510240114 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny banking off the major success of legally blonde (and by the same screenwriters, no less), the house bunny is a tale of a dumb blonde who exceeds all expectations and defies all odds to achieve her dreams (or in this case a makeover.) the problem is, all the heart and wit that made legally blonde the franchise it became is missing, and the dialogue and humor is extremely forced (with the exception of emma stone, who has never appealed to me but plays her character's dorky sense of humor authentically). the real problem here, though, might be that the character of elle woods (and reese witherspoon) has forty five times the charm and ultimately empowering message of this film's leading lady (and of anna farris.) or maybe it really was just that the script sucked. fb1179330337 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race definetly critics are gonna hate it because the story is junk and the acting is quite bad besides statham,but i enjoyed it because it's just action packed with some funny lines and gore,i was entertained every single minute,skip it if you'r going to it looking for a good movie,go to it if u wanna enjoy a kick ass action movie. fb539215545 Aug 20, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars i didn't think it was horrible,but a little to bit kiddish for me but overall good animation and has a lot of action,so not a bad film. fb539215545 Aug 11, 2008
The House Bunny some parts were funny, but basically i was just horrified that it pulled a breakfast club ending....all the cool people turned into plastic clones. BYOM! fb30605461 Aug 28, 2008
The Rocker Wasn't overly great but still not bad. I love movies that capture the awkwardness of teenagers in it. Rainn Wilson is truly revolting:) fb506907795 Aug 21, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Woody Allen's newest is also perhaps one of his best. Great performances by Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson - as well as Rebecca Hall as Vicky (who was equally impressive in Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige"). The real standout here is Penelope Cruz, who brings fire and passion into the film stealing the scene every time the camera is near her. Marks some of her best English-language (for the most part) work, as well as Allen's. fb1509480007 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race Takes all of the campy fun out of the original, leaving nothing but a bad action movie with poor acting. What's the deal with Statham always being a driver anyway? fb643471211 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny IT'S LOVABLE. i laughed i cried i thought it was ridiculous. there was some overacting here and there by emma stone, okay probably not her fault cuz the script was a bit... but anna faris was great. she may play a ditz most of the time, but she really gives something to her characters that you know there is something more to her than who she plays. ANYWAYS, the movie was an enjoyable experience, it was touching and fun. fb573507428 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars The animation was suprisingly nice, and apart from the stupid "Sky-guy" cracks and yet another stupid character from George's ever worrying mind... its a pretty good movie. Just dont get your hopes up for an epic movie, the action scenes are impressive, and i was wondering what came to mind with the PG rating at a couple of points (at least it still craps over Ep 1 & 2 put together). fb732812563 May 5, 2008
Traitor Special twist, Special agents, and special stakes. Government over us?Are we guilty also?How many faces can their religion have?Good infidels vs. bad infidels that's what this war on terror is all about. We tend to forget our own history sometimes. KKK and Christianity. Innocent bloodshed on both sides presents challenges and this movie directly and indirectly challenges us to view them. Jeff Daniels amps Cheadle to keep going towards the end because of the war. Mentioning that in a war innocent people will die. This movie is an advent to the real world...ps. it would've been 5 stars, but the trailers tricked me lol there aren't too many action scenes. fb19500689 Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Lock and load...this flick rocks and rolls! Just try NOT driving like you're in a death race when you leave the theater!! fb622910862 Aug 21, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Too kiddied down for me..No Gen Grevious and the ending was rushed. Alot of action but most of it focused on one character too much. Didnt have that Star Wars feel to it. Dascokid1077704 Aug 27, 2008
Mirrors Wow, very rare for a horror movie to pass in my books. most are cheesy and predictable. This one was not and we quite good. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a GOOD horror movie. fb549772132 Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Whoa. I know this movie looks ridiculous, but it's not. At all. It's pretty bad ass. Not quite up to "Death Sentence" bad-assness, but seriously, from now on, any movie with "death" in the title is going to be on my must-see-or-die list. fb7902418 Aug 24, 2008
Mirrors The idea behind the movie was kinda interesting, but it was horrible executed. I thoroughly enjoyed how they tried to use a pigeon flying away as a scare tactic. The ending was extremely hilarious. I think the whole movie theatre was laughing. The acting, while not amazing, was probably the only bright spot of the movie. fb107900105 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona A very pleasant and funny movie! Shows that it is actually POSSIBLE to make a GOOD romantic comedy! Really tho, this is a Woody Allen movie in every sense. A movie about sex and life. Art and love. This means this is not some major piece of work from Woody, but it is still good nevertheless. I must say I really did connect with this film alot, because with the whole "artists trying to defy society" thing, and I go to a freakin art school! Tho I suppose this is where most of the humor comes from, and I probably enjoy this movie more than most people. Oh, and Penelope Cruz is great! She plays a feisty bitch, and she's really good at it! Rebecca Hall is really funny as well! She probably has more screentime more than any actor in this film, and yet she's not the main character! There are 2 complaints that I have. 1. The lesbian "sex" scene. I will admit I went to see this movie after I heard about the hot "lesbian sex scene" MONTHS before the film is released (c'mon! Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz together! count me in!), but it was very disappointing...stupid internet rumors and newspaper articles...they just HAD to exaggerate everything! Or maybe that's just me...but c'mon Woody! Only 5 mins worth of groping between Scarlett and Penelope?! Talents wasted!!! 2. Not sure if the ending worked for me...I probably have to watch the movie more than once to get it. fb299400263 Aug 27, 2008
Mirrors I was so TERRIFIED I couldn't even stop myself from closing and covering my eyes. It was so good, so scary. fb854990084 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny Anna Faris is REALLY hysterical and it's great to see a movie that finally doesn't portray a stereo-typical Greek organization!!! Go see this movie, the Zetas are what REAL Greeks are all about :-P And seriously, Anna Faris is so effing funny!!! I almost peed my pants at least 10 times fb1411170045 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Excellent movie. One of the best Woody Allen films in years. The cast is excellent, the story is done well, and one of the best romantic comedy films this year. garywoo993 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars This is realy a film length episode leading into the new 'Clone Wars' TV series butI enjoyed it never the less. I also liked the animation, unlike some people. fb548101099 Aug 27, 2008
The Rocker Yay, the third movie in a row I've watched that surpassed my low expectations. I hope Emma Stone is in every movie for the rest of the year, which, at the rate she's going, seems possible. Kind of has a School of Rock vibe. Some stupid cliche humor, sure, but I ended up laughing a ton. Also seemed a little more heartwarming to me than these movies usually are. Might have to see it again, and I never do that these days. MATT: The camera adds ten pounds. AGENT GUY: Yeah, that and food, right? fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny I had a few reasons for wanting to see this. Namely, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, and Katherine McPhee. I didn't really expect to enjoy it that much, but I ended up laughing quite a bit. I laughed at stupid, stupid stuff, but at least I was laughing. It kind of reminded me of Grandma's Boy for some reason. I try to go into movies without expectations, but I seriously went in with a chip on my shoulder and it won me over. Also, this is the only time I've ever seen Rumer Willis even remotely attractive. fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Star Wars for kids is actually pretty good. Since it is for kids, it's pure action and almost no exposition. Also, it was pretty funny, but most of the humor comes from the humanization of the battle droids. I should note being a Star Wars fan helps, although that faux-Ewan McGregor voice was a little annoying. Another to see only if you've seen everything else. fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
