"Whats UP doc?" UP the 2009 Disney : movie review So, it’s gone full circle a generation that was raised on cartoons as Children has lived to see a cartoon made that deals with end of life issues and the meaning of life. With traces of The BUCKET LIST and REVOLUTIONARY ROAD as the plot the themes, the new film UP from Pixar Animation Studios has incorporated deep levels of human condition whether or not some of the young viewers ever understand it. I guess with a buzz about an Oscar already for a BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY for writer Bob Peterson for this film, we enter into a new era of animation, a place where the writers of the original cartoons like Warner Bros. Cartoons Bugs Bunny could never ever imagined going. GO

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters :: 2007 movie review The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is about the world record high score for the highly popular in the 80’s arcade game Donkey Kong and who really is the champ. The game as those of us who have played it gets progressively hard as you move up levels to the point of utter insanity. This is the story of Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell , Steve is trying to get this record that has been unbeaten for over 20 years. There is a bunch of other people associated with Twin Galaxies, an organization formed to keep track of high scores achieved on arcade games in the United States and they are interview, which adds to the story and its complexities. This documentary film has all the elements of a real movie, meaning a hero, villain, conflict and resolution which are rare in a documentary and kind of surprising...go

The Last Hurrah :: movie review 2009

The Last Hurrah :: movie review 2009 The Last Hurrah is in my opinion the final evolution of the college party movie, a group of philosophy majors have one last graduation party filled with sarcastic comedic introspection. This film has Carl Jung as a punch line, come on how you can argue with Carl Jung quotes, not Fredrick Nietzsche or Freud its Jung and its very funny. This is a high brow, lofty script with quotes and banter from many famous philosophers and their great truths and untruths that keep pouring out from this small film like the tap on a keg of beer at the usual collage festivities. This is their Last Hurrah and this entire ensemble cast has some great lines that would to be expected as the characters try to outdo each other as only a group of philosophy majors can.

The Boat That Rocked or Pirate Radio for US release

The Boat That Rocked : retitled Pirate Radio for US release 2009 .This is the story of a Fictitious pirate radio station broadcasting rock and roll from a boat located of the Island of Britain in the year 1966. The story is told through the eyes of a young Carl (Tom Sturridge) who is sent to live with his godfather Quentin (Bill Nighy) the ship's captain after being expelled from school . Radio Rock is the name of the station and as the BBC is playing only 2 houbawdy Dave (Nick Frost)rs a day of rock and roll this station plays it 24 hours a day. Radio Rock is a smashing success and this leads to the government cracking down on them with new rules, as the oblivious crew of DJs sit offshore and rock the county out.

Get Smart

When the top secret spy agency Control’s head quarters is bombed, bumbling analyst Maxwell Smart is made agent 86 and teamed with agent 99 they embark on a mission to stop control’s arch-enemy Chaos. There are some elements from the old get Smart TV Show from the 70’s and some new stuff that would be applicable today. There are some really funny scenes and some slapstick stuff too that I wasn’t very fond of, but it works as a well and really lives up to the very popular television show it’s based off of. Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway have some chemistry and that adds to the movie and with the Rock, Dwayne Johnson, adding some really funny one liners. It’s a great DVD to sit back and enjoy, and would be a good safe choose for a date night…

Fanboys movie review

Fanboys :: movie review . The year is 1998 and 4 childhood friends find out that Linus has cancer, so they all decide to drive thousands of miles to break into the Skywalker Ranch and steal a copy of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to watch as a kind of last wish. They end up taking a wild cross county trip that includes brawling with rival Trakkies (star trek fans), doing peyote with an Indian medicine man and stripping in a gay biker bar. There are cameos from some of the stars from the Star Wars movies and see if you can notice them, it’s really cool.

Land of the Lost

Land of the Lost movie review
Land of the Lost is a 2009 comedy starring Will Ferrell based on a 1974 TV show about three adventurers that get caught in a time warp and end up in a strange new world, hence the name Land of the Lost. I really liked this movie for about the first half an hour and then it just lost me (no pun intended). I was a fan as a kid of this Saturday morning TV show and this movie does play on that with some almost adult humor, kind of like an ADULT SWIM show but a movie. Will Ferrell is just flat, with this movie riding on his back, the seemingly written as we got story just stops making sense. He is playing a cross between his character in his other films ELF and Blades of glory and it was working for me for a good part of this movie.

No spoiler reviews

OK “We don’t do spoilers”; it’s my policy to be very vague about the story lines of the films I review here. I have always hated reading movie reviews that tell to much about a film. Entering a theater already having preconceived notions about the plot and / or the outcome of the film in the past have ruined the viewing experience for me,so this is why these reviews are written this way . I hope you enjoy our NO Spoiler Action Movie Reviews!
