1408 1408proves that it’s still possible to make a very scary and creepy movie that is not populated by teenage characters or victims being mutilated. I infer it ’s weird to utilise the word " refreshing " when utter about a horror movie , but that ’s what1408is when compared to late trends in the humankind of horror picture . With the likes of theSawseries , Hostelmovies and the upcomingCaptivity , which all reckon on scenes of excruciating personal overrefinement to horrify the interview , I really enjoyed see an " old schoolhouse " horror movie that was implausibly in force ....

Spider-Man 3 Although at times it felt like a made-for-TV movie, a far better film than the first and more entertaining than the super-seriousSpider-man 3. So it ’s possible . Not only can a sequel be good than the original , but it can be done with the same director and writer . By process of elimination , it would seem that the blame for how bad the first motion picture was can perhaps be laid at the feet of the one guy missing from the new production gang : writerMichael France ....

Death Proof WhilePlanet Terrorwas a wild ride and a retro blast,Death Proofwas a crushing disappointment and absolute torture to sit through. It really stinks that I have to give a paygrade toGrindhouseas one film , because the two movies within that make up the two-fold characteristic are so improbably on the paired ends of the scurf in terms of a regard experience . While Robert Rodriguez’Planet Terrorwas an right-down eruption , Quentin Tarantino’sDeath Proofwas excruciatingly ho-hum ....

Related A decent action movie that tries to be deeper than it actually is. Shooter , starring Mark Wahlberg is the story of a Black Ops sniper who is falsely accused of an assassination . Wahlberg plays Bob Lee Swagger , one of the top crack shot in the world , who lives in a self - imposed deportee after an operation in Africa goes ill . The film also asterisk Michael Pena who deport a decent performance and Danny Glover as an effective bad guy ....

300 Pretty close to being the ultimate “guy movie.” I ’ve waited a farseeing clip to see300 , the movie exalt by Frank Miller ’s graphic novel about the Spartans . If nothing else , base on the trailers I was expecting a movie that at least visually , would blow me away . My only concern going in was that I had heard that there were WAY too many slow - apparent motion scenes … in fact that every undivided battle sequence was in dumb - mo ....

Related This movie drives an already silly premise straight into the ground, primarily with a weak script and uneven direction. I have been a full-grown fan of Jim Carrey ever since the premiere of my all - meter favorite TV show , In Living Color . I think of , what could be skillful than his Fire Marshal Bill skits ? The originalAce VenturaandDumb and Dumberare movies that I am proud to count among my all - time favorite comedies ....

Related UnfortunatelyGhost Riderlives up to its pre-release buzz: Boring and bordering on cheesy. As I had written earlier here at Screen Rant , I went in to Ghost Rider without any preconceived notion about the fictional character since I had never read the comic book . I was also gently affirmative ( base on one of the trailers ) that it might flex out to be at least skillful , if not great ....

Related A fascinating look at the world of modern art (seriously!) and the questions of whether a four year old’s paintings can compete and whether those paintings were genuine. My Kid Could Paint Thatwas the last flick I witness at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival , and is a fascinating flavor at the level of four yr sometime Marla Olmstead , who a couple of year ago took the art world by storm by rocketing from low-toned center form obscureness to international renown through the sale of her painting ....

Related Well crafted, excellent performances, but not exactly entertaining. For me , this is one of those grating reviews to write … where I really have to think about what my criteria is for deciding whether a movie is " great " , " good " , or " bad " . I ’ll admit my brushup can be subjective - I do n’t just rate picture show based on technical quality , but on how they make me palpate ....

Related This movie is very original and the filmmakers are technically competent, but it’s much too bizarre and confusing to be very enjoyable. WatchingThe Fountainis sort of like eating a breakfast burrito from one of those 24 - minute drive - thru piazza . You have to digest it for a while before you realize its full impact on you . To be honest , I kind of find guilty that I did n’t give this motion picture a better rating ....

Related This movie had some impressive imagery at times, but overall it was downright awful. Eek ! Please , mommy , make the speculative movie stop ! Okay , now that my inner shaver has enunciate what it wanted to say , permit me start out by talking about the director of this cinematic train wreck , Tarsem Singh . harmonize toIMDB , he has n’t had much of a feature film career since directingThe Cell , which should n’t come as a surprisal to anyone who has seen it ....

Related Overall, this movie was silly and formulaic. The threadbare plot and insipid dialogue made it almost unwatchable at times, but the movie partially redeemed itself by including a few action sequences that pandered to me. consecrate the fact that this movie was directed by Michael Bay , I was n’t expectingCitizen Kanewhen I pose down to watch it , but I have to take that despite a few interesting action mechanism sequences , I was really surprised by how bad it was ....

Related Clerks II can only possibly be enjoyed by hardcore fans of the original. It was like digging through a huge pile of cow dung to get to a very small pearl at the bottom. Since I do n’t generally write objective reviews , here ’s what you need to know before you say this : 1 . When the original Clerks first came out , I kind of enjoyed it in a look - at - bugs - in - a - jounce form of way ....
