Be Kind Rewind
Fun and Funnier by drew@PriceIsRight.com
Jack Black is terrific once again. His American accent is pretty good. I thought Michael Caine was the only foreigner who could fake an American accent - I guess Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman are OK too, but they're Australian.
Anyways, I saw Jack Black in Nacho Libre, and he's Mexican (Jose Negro in the credits). Good for him. We need more legal immigrants who can contribute something.

Now Look Out by lipton@moviesnobs.org
Based on this movie's plot, every wanna be director with a video camera and no money will think they can make a great film. It'll be "Blair Witch" and "Clerks" times a thousand.

And Your Point Is? by gaviota@webnet.net
The Blair Witch Project cost $60 thousand to make and has grossed $240 million so far. Clerks made 15 times more than it cost. Real Hollywood films don't do nearly as well. Creativity trumps slickness every time.

Vantage Point
Vantage What's the Point? by martini@BOL.com
The terrorists in this film are so bad that they blow up hundreds of innocent people, then swerve the van at the last minute to avoid hitting one bratty little girl? The whole plot is thwarted by terrorist compassion!
I didn't buy it.

The fourth time the audience saw the clock in the corner sending us back in time, they laughed. The fifth time they groaned. By the sixth time they were used to it. What I couldn't get used to is this - there must
be two organizations devoted to protecting the President: the Secret Service, and the Keystone Cops. I have not seen more useless guards since Arnold Schwarzenegger survived 8,000 bullets and eliminated 23 bad guys in one scene in "Commando."
Mr. Bean would be more effective than the Secret Service Agents on duty here.

Dead Maid in the Hall by lupe@HolidayInn.com
Did anyone notice that the maid had a gun? Man, what kind of loser hotel were they at? You could never get away with that where I work, and believe me, I know. Plus, she had an earphone to a Walkman or something. My supervisor would
make me work a double shift or something if I did that and wasn't on a break. Plus, she was still using Clorox Anti-bacterial, cause it was on the cart, and that kind of hazardous cleaning solution is not allowed so you
could say this movie was not very authentic, at least from my point of view as a professional in the business.

Dead Double? by overlord1@govwatch.org
Does anyone care what happened to the President's double? He's put in an ambulance and that's it. If I were a real double for the President I'd be concerned what kind of precedent is being set.

Doubles Common by potus@ovaloffice.gov
They've been using Presidential doubles since John Adams and the Plum Pudding Bomb Plot. You don't think a fine football athlete like Gerald Ford would actually stumble off a podium do you?

Doubles Lucky by begala@AOL.com
The use of doubles sometimes has unintended but beneficial results. On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Hillary Clinton's double (who is human) had an emotional moment that probably won that primary for Senator Clinton.
As an aid to identifying the real Hillary, I can only quote Quint from Jaws, "The thing about a shark, (s)he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes."

Cloverfield
BOGUS! by jimmyk@trudat.com
Fake, Fake, Fake! There is no way the video was real. I can think of at least three reasons why we can't take this seriously - 1. The FAA would never allow planes, even military jets, to fly below 1,000 feet over Manhattan, which was clearly happening here,
2. Using a light on a video camera is hell on the battery, and no way could you get 85 minutes of video once you've used the light, and 3. A bite from a sea spider-crab causes bleeding from the nose and ears,
not the eyes. C'mon people, you are being duped!

DUDE - THINK ABOUT IT by highrider10@oceansave.org
remember, last year about april and may there was nothing but reruns on SNL? No live shows at all. and a guy in my dorm transferred to NYU for the spring semester and we never heard from him again, not one time, not even a text message and I just googled
images of the new york city skyline and then compared them with an I LOVE NY! postcard my mom sent me and you cabn clearly see the buildings on the new google shots have been Photoshopped. I'm telling you man, something is not right.

GREAT DATE MOVIE! by SL32@bargain.biz
But I wish the monster didn't make that loud horrible sound from South Park that affects your bowels. It was embarrassing for me personally.

NO MORE by dougiedoo@nitnet.net
What is up with all this hand held crap! The scenes in Cloverfield were so jittery I just about hurled after 5 minutes. Aren't there other ways to save money on production costs? How much can a good cameraman cost? The video we made for my Dad's earthquake insurance was better.
Plus they didn't spend big bucks for name actors, and the street scenes are like, free. Good job of making Pasadena look like New York City though. I bet they did a lot of green screen. The spider creatures were definitely CGI, not claymation stop-action (which is overrated, and I think ruined
"Superbad" - the fat character didn't move that smoothly).

Meet the Spartans
FUMBLE by geek@athenians.com
I saw this movie over at the new mall, and it was my first experience with "stadium" style seating. It was nice to see over everyone's heads, but I didn't expect the booing. Not good. I laughed during minutes 6 through 9, but then…
nothing.

I GIVE IT A 5 by needy_D@AOL.com
Out of a possible 10,000. It was also very short. All the people who apparently got up to go to the bathroom early didn't get back before it was over. Stay for after the credits if you always have a second helping of brussel sprouts.

I laffed my a** off from start to finnish man. If you partied thru Epic Movie youll love this - my girl Jaycee puked during one of the gross parts, but even she says "it was a funny hurl". I WILL be seeing it AGAIN. welll worththe effort to sneak in.

NOT SO MUCH by methodman@offoffbraodway.org
The fat guy from Borat rose above the material and the rest of the cast to deliver a nuanced performance as Xerxes. Neither Johnny Depp nor Dustin Hoffman could have ripped their nipple off so convincingly.
So much for Kevin Sorbo stealing this movie. Overall, though, it didn't live up to its potential. And the floor was sticky.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
I GOT DISTRACTED by wearereal@greys.com
I missed a lot of this movie because for some reason my mind wandered and I kept thinking about the Democratic candidates' debates. Anyway, this movie was murky and hard to follow, and difficult to determine whether the Predators were actually
good guys, and are the Aliens really just brainless and vengeful - both were out for themselves; the people just got in the way (especially fly-over people like in Colorado). Now I'm reminded of the debates again.

DO NOT DROP YOUR CAR KEYS by chris292@adventureseekers.org
This movie was one reason, maybe the main reason, why I will never, ever go into the sewers to look for my keys. I'll be calling a cab.
(I once went camping with a guy who opened a can of peaches with his car keys. You could not pay me to eat those peaches now. Well, not those same peaches, but new ones under similar circumstances. Actually, yes, you could not pay me to eat
those same peaches now, either - if you get where I'm coming from.)

HAIR IS IMPORTANT by brianna-r@AOL.com
My friend Nicole and I thought of something during this movie while watching the Predator monster. Hillary Clinton has tried a lot of different hairstyles, right? How about dreadlocks? They might be empowering. And a Reggae look couldn't help
but win favor with the Jamaican voter. How do we get in touch with her to tell her?

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
OVER THE TOP by intheknow@templar.com
I believe in "the willing suspension of disbelief" as much as any film goer, but this was too much even for me. When Nicolas Cage's character discovers the clue that leads them to the Library of Congress,
I'm thinking, wouldn't it be closed? It's like, 6 o'clock at night. And the giant turntable suspended above a chasm of doom? I smell videogame tie-in.
The list of coincidences and impossible events made me think of the prop that ruined a James Bond movie for me - the invisible car! If "Q" really had the technology
to make anything invisible (including himself), no bank in England would be safe, and "Q" would never have to pay cover charges at a strip club. "Hey, what happened to Q? Does he work here anymore? Who pinched me? Bloody hell, cut that out!"
OK, it was a fun romp. Let's call it "National Treasure and the Temple of Doom - D List."

JUST JEALOUS by viper@fastcars.com
The above comment is probably by a Lamborghini PR guy who couldn't get his Gallardo in the film instead of a Ferrari.
I was misinformed about the movie by a "friend." I spent the whole time waiting for
Jon Voight to be swallowed by a giant snake. With every scene I thought, "How are they going to work it in here?" Disappointing.

No Country for Old Men
DID THEY RUN OUT OF FILM? by twilite_years@san.rr.com
Great action, even though it was pretty violent. Cool theme about the impact of fate on life, and Tommy Lee Jones still looks great on a horse, which is good because his face looks like a
tooled leather saddle.
The ending was way wierd - a car crash out of nowhere almost kills the bad guy, then
the sheriff (Tommy Lee) has lunch and bam! it just goes to black - very sudden. Also, did you think the bad guy killed the wife? I think most of the audience did because he wipes his shoes
on the porch, but it's not absolutely definitive because it was her husband (Josh Brolin) who liked boots. Food for thought.

Dan in Real Life
RHODE ISLAND? by officefan
This movie is a great romantic comedy, but I went to my brother's wedding in Rhode Island and it is way smaller than what this movie shows. I needed a yardstick for the reception and the one
I found was only 30" long. We got a rental car in Boston, and you could start a sentence in Massachusetts and finish it in Connecticut. Apparently there's a famous saying in New England, "How can you stink up
5 states? Fart in Providence." Anyways, I loved this movie, but I missed Dwight.

Heartbreak Kid
TITLE SUCKS by b_still
This flick did not do well because the title is all wrong. It doesn't tell you anything about the story. There's hardly a kid in it.
It should have been "Heartbreak Honeymoon" or "Honeymoom Hell" or "Zoolander." It just goes to show you that the title is very important.
At least as important as the plot, or the theme, or what happens, or even the story line. And what up with Malin Akerman's sunburn make-up?
I expected a lot more pus from Bobby Farrelly. Bro Peter probly held him back.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!! by bb.farre@aol.biz
Movies are a bitch to make. "H Kid" was a tremendous effort, filming in Baja and all. I'll bet their was sand in everything. Sunburn make-up is the hardest.
I know a guy who's cousin worked on Predator vs. Alien, and they were shooting in a place where there was a lot of snow and bright daylight,
and boy did he ever get a sunburn.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
CATE BLANCHETT IS A GODDESS! by trans@vest.org
I nearly fainted, and it wasn't the popcorn. I am so, so, so glad I saw this and I am so not kidding! This movie had it all - terrific costumes, great sets, fabulous outfits,
good acting, amazing clothes, loud music, awesome wardrobes, and the apparel was to die for! Cate was delicious in every ensemble. There is just one star in the firmament
who could have outshone them all, but I understand Barbara S. is so busy with her charity work that she couldn't get away. Our loss! But really, except for the accent, the magnificent
Cate was nearly as good.

Michael Clayton
TRAILER LED ME ASTRAY by mary_moon
Just saw this, and it was good but my boyfriend and I were disappointed. As a bio it was lame. No "Lone Ranger", no mask, not even any explanation about Tonto. George Clooney is a hottie though.
