Based on the life of Jesse James one of the youngest drug dealers to be on the FBI most wanted list.Johnny the leader is owed money for a drug deal that didn't pay off,not thinking about the outcome he kidnapps the younger brother of the guy who owes him,things obviously don't turn out as they planned,i thought the performances were excellent even from JT plus what an amazing cast this is probably one of my fav movies this year,def recommend you go see it.

i must admit i don't normally do Disney i only watched it cus Zooey Deschanel was in it.tells the story of a young boy Jess who is pretty much and outsider at school that is until he meets Leslie a young girl who has just moved in next door.their adventure begins when they find a tree rope and through the power of their imagination they find Terabithia,the film is pretty much about Friendship,and family and the ability to believe,it's not all happiness though there is some heartbreaking moments too,i really enjoyed it.
Great movie Bill Murray adds that certain humour to it,Don Johnston receives a letter from one of his former lovers stating he has a 19yr old son,unaware who it could be he goes on a mission to find all his past flames to find out who the mother is ,hillarious in places ,am loving Winston his neighbour who acts as detective and plans the whole trip for him making sure he looks for clues at each destination.def worth a watch.

Great performances in this movie ,Jack Nicholson plays Costanzo the big mob guy who everybody seems to work for.He has an insider in the police force,but what he dosen't know is they also have an undercover officer in his team.some good action and great twist at the end,if you enjoyed Donnie Brasco you would love this.
This film is great,don't that banjo tune just stay in your head,i watched it years ago & can still remember it,squeel like a piggy uuhhh.great tense movie and some action as well.would totally recommend.
William H Macy' gives a great performance of a dark and depressed character.After leaving his wife he takes to the seedy streets looking for what he thinks is freedom.His frustration leeds him to become violent and rascist.
A slow moving film that shows the downwards spiral of the characters life.not everybodys taste i liked it.

When Jule enters the picture complications arise.
Some real issues come to light in the movie about the way some people live there lives without realising what pain they cause others,great movie.
Very emotionally charged movie,based on the books the students wrote,Freedom Writers Diary(true story).Hilary Swank gives an amazing performance as the teacher who takes on the task of trying to educate these students who are at war with each other over their race or religion,most of them being gang members,she conects with one class and makes them see they have more to their lives than this,excellent movie highly recommended.

The Mad(2007)__not listed on flixter yet.
Stars Billy Zane comedy/zombie film or more like mad cow disease was quite comic in places didn't really have much to go on the script was lame so i think they done their best i'd give it 2*/5
This film had me gripped from the beginning,with a plot that was unexpected in places,ending in a violent tragedy,great performances all round i liked it.
A story of romance,redemption &renovation,can't give too much away on this one.Kevin Kline gives an outstanding performance i truly felt for the guy while watching the movie,loved it.

A film that deffinately don't make things look sweet shows the harsh,gritty reality of life for those who make their money off the streets,great performances too.
quite a few good cast members ,i thought this was gunna be one of those rom coms,but it was a lot more serious than i expected wich was a good thing i really liked this movie.
This movie is based on the true stories of it's mostly non-proffesional cast,it follows two young teen boys Marek and David who after running away from their homes meet up on the seedy streets of Prauge,out of hunger and desperation they are soon picked up and thrown in to a world of prostitution,drugs,and petty theft,after his friend David is arrested Marek loses the plot,a pretty disturbing film some great performances .
Took me ages to get hold of this movie,but was worth the wait.Tells the story off Lyle(Joseph Grdon-Levitt)who after badly beating a classmate is commited to a juvenile mental institution,their he encounters other troubled teenagers who all suffer similar problems,they all try to deal emotionally with their rage & anger some don't make it through as well as expected,also stars Zooey Deschanel who gives a great performance along with JGL,a couple of disturbing scenes but overall an ace movie .
After reading the book i was so looking forward to watching the movie,again great performances all round ,bit of a disturbing story line for some viewers(abuse/prostitution) but what a movie highly recomend.

AS their friendship beging to grow closer so do their relationships troubles.
Enjoyable movie.
wow this movie was excellent
visually amazing,and superb performances fron Norton &Watts,they play an english couple who marry in the 1920's unfortunately he finds out his wife never married him for love,after she betrays him he gives her the option of divorce or to accompany him to the heart of ancient China,were he is to work in a remote village as a doctor to try and cure the sick of disease.It is here they find redemption and learn to love again.highly recommend you see it if not for the story then for the visual beauty alone.
i thought the performances in this were so honest & real,set in New York's lower east side,tells the story of Victor's quest to become a man.takes a look at family life and teenage first love,funny & moving at the same time really enjoyed watchint this.
Stephan has a problem with relating to what is real in his life and where his dreams begin.
A bizzare film mostly set in the drem world of Stephan,his realities begin to lose control when he meets his neighbour Stephanie he somehow believes their relationship is going places but in reality it dosn't work out the way he dreamed it would,great imaginative fim,excellent performance from Gael as usual.
Takes a look in to the harsh underworld of organised crime.Mikey(Cuba Gooding Jr)&Rose(Helen Mirren)are trained assassins who get called in to do a hit for a brutal crime boss,once their they realise it's his wife who goes into labour when they are about to kill her.Their only way out is to take the woman and baby & begin a life on the run.Five years later things come to light and it brings more than trouble. a great cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt & Steven Dorff also Wes Bently & Eva Mandes.Some disturbing scenes but is a great movie deffinately recommend you see it.
Maggie Gyllenhaal jsust amazes me each time she performs wich is outstanding in this movie just been released from prison she tries to stay in control of her life so as to get her daughter back ,will have to watch it c if she does.
Pretty much what i expected some action neat effects ,once again Peter Parker has to fight of the baddies and save Mary Jane.This time we get to see the dark side of Spidey that was quite amusing especially his night fever dance haha,over all a good watch.
set in 1983,Sean a 12yr lad has lost his father in the falklands war,
Normally a bit of a loner he meets a local group of skinheads who decide to take him under their wing and make him feel like he's part of something.
This film shows how easy it is to be led into something at a yong age NF and rascialism,is one of the best movies iv'e seen in a while highly recommend it.
Director David Gordon Green(All The Real Girls)as that was a fav thought i would give this a try was impressed not as dreamy but still a great cast Jamie Bell and Devon Alan play two brothers Chris and Tim they live in an isolated farmhouse with not much of anything.A stranger turns up at the house who turns out to be their fathers brother with no where to go they take him in and try to live as a family,Things are not as cosy as they seem and is uncle Deel really their to make a new start?def worth watching a great movie.
Really enjoyed this an unexpected twist at the end a different role for Costner,when their father left the outcome effected each person differently,especially the mother and eldest daughter.would definately reccomend this one.
Cally a 17yr old California girl spent most of her chilhood life growing up within a commune.Now living with her father on a houseboat things are becoming difficult as she desperately wants to leave.One night while Cally is out she meets a woman Sabine who she is instantly drawn to ,in her she sees parts of herself.A film about finding yourself ,love and if freedom is really what you are looking for,really enjoyed this defo worth a watch.
Drama focusing on Reese Holden a strugling actress who is offered $100.00 for the publication of letters that were left to her by her mother,these were love letters wrote from her reclusive father Don who was a well known author.
This means Reese has to return back home after a long abscence.great performances from Ed Harris as Don also Zooey Deschanel as Reese,was quite impressed with Will Farrell too,prefer him in a more serious role.
Richard E Grant's semi autobiographical debut,shot in Swaziland,Southern Africa,a coming of age story focused on Ralph Compton(Nicholas Hoult-Skins)as he deals with family life,love,fear,and his hopes,great movie really enjoyed it.
At first i didn't know if i should laugh...or cry,but strangely enough i felt myself feeling sorry for the doll at one point...still a great movie,and yes i'm a bit biased as i think Paul Schneider is good in anything haha.
