Cast Away
PG-13
When I really stop and think about it, the film is brilliantly executed. The scenery is absolutely breath taking, the special effects are so well done that you don't even realize that there are special effects present. This seems to be a trademark of Robert Zemeckis (case and point, "Forrest Gump"). The acting is very good, although, there's only 2 real sources of acting in this film, Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt. The rest of the cast was good, but their roles were very minor. Tom Hanks pulls off another great performance, as usual. You really can feel all of his emotions while he's stuck on the island. Also, not many actors have changed their physical appearance like Tom Hanks did for this film, I truly applaud him for his work. As much as I liked Russell Crow in "Gladiator", I firmly believe that Tom Hanks deserved it more (although that would be his third Oscar). Helen Hunt also pulls off a very nice performance. There is also a good deal of comedy in the film, and it is done very well. This is one of the few films that I strongly recommend you watch. There aren't a great many films that I would say this, but this one I would. Although...if you aren't a fan of Tom Hanks, then you might have some trouble with this film because a great deal of the film is him alone on an island. So, if that is the case, then you are off the hook. So, I hope you watch the film, and I hope that you enjoy it.

This Is England
Unrated
AMAZING BRITISH FILM!!! A brilliant portrayal of the underdog, the outsider showing a grim side to Britain in the glossy 80's. A vividly realistic film that is both very funny and very hard hitting. Like some of the great 60's realism films (Saturday Night, Sunday Morning) This Is England is excellent. The acting, the 80's detail and the soundtrack are spot on.

I read the reviews of this film and decided it was worth a shot. This film is beautifully made. Before this film I did not know of Joy Divsion's work but the acting in this film by the major players was excellent. Sam Riley as Curtis is very very good as is Samantha Morton as his downtrodden wife. I thought the guy who played the manager was hilarious. I was convinced that I wouldn't like this but came away feeling that this was an amazing film. Even if you don't like Punk music or Joy Division - go watch. Well worth it.

A Better Tomorrow
by KhrisClassic!
One of John Woo and Tsui Hark's earliest hits, this was when gun fu was becoming what it is. Though it wasn't perfected yet, this was an operatic drama of brotherhood, family, blood and crime, one of premier gangster films. The story revolved around two borthers, Kit, a cop, and Ho, an underworld figure. The older brother, Ho, makes a promise to his father to leave behind his life so that he and Kitwould not cross paths. But when he and his best friend, Mark, are betrayed, he suddenly finds himself in prison, his father killed by an assassin, his life in ruins. When finally released, Kit rejects him and threatens to imprison him and his old gang, disbelieving any attempt to lead an honest life. On the other hand, Kit is also chasing after Shing, who betrayed Ho before, who is know a Kingpin. Reuniting with Mark who was also rejected by the gangs, they set out for revenge and to regain their dignity, and save Kit from being killed.
Simple and straightforward, dont expect the mass of violence and bullets as we are accustomed to in Woo's work... this was the prelude to the masterpieces of The Killer and Hard Boiled - but more storytelling than gun fighting, which is due to Hark's genius in creatvity. The story revolved around the oppurtunity of a second chance, the search for a better life and the importance of family and brotherhood.
This is one of Chow Yun's breathrough roles, a classic figure who's charm and style was a winner on the screen, playing a crippled but deadly gunman.
Watch this if you are a fan of Woo or Hark, or the series or Chow Yun. Or if you just like a good gangster film.Hey, you should really see this!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by KhrisHonestly... not as good as the first and a disappointment. There! Sorry to break your hearts, but thats the truth. The beginning of the movie was awesome... near perfect. But it was deceptive, sorry to say, the middle was crap, a mushy love story thats supposed to get guys jealous of Shia and the amount of physical contact he has with Megan, a trampy love interest (twist!) with Isabel Lucas, and of course, an ass**** government guy who gets his ass handed to him in the end by Capt. Lennox.
Ill try to keep the pain as short as possible... the action scenes for the bots were "f***** up" beyond belief. They made them so fast and intriduced a "kung fu" element in it that it stuffed up the graphics... in the end it looked like puppets and dodgy animation back from 10 years ago. Thank god we didnt see any of that in most of the movie, but at one of the main fighting scenes, it ruined it. They needed to make it a little slower, not too fast, and in the end, they sacrificed the quality and those scenes looked crap compared to the firts movie. other than that, the rest was okay, the final war zone scene in Egypt was a class act.
What else? Isabel Lucas sucked, she played a "slut" pretty much... but prepare to be surprised. XD In the end though, I mean she's a good looking girl, but she is not competition to Megan Fox, thank god they made that clear as soon as possible. Hooray for Megan... shes the only celeb thats kept my attention for longer than 2 months, and yeah, its not due to her acting in this one. but maybe soon! (see? Im giving her a chance, Im sure she can improve!! I mean, Angelina sucked in the beginning! XD)
Anyways, the other cast was good, but the show goes to John Turturro and Ramon Rodriguez as the comedy due, it was nearly side splitting humor, and I loved it. But dont think the humans have all the fun!!
In the first movie, there were 14 bots. In this one.... 46! And introducing my favourites - the "Twins" - Mudflap and Skids, the crazy duo who steal the show, even from Bumblebee at times! Gotta love the Twins!! Also introducing Wheels, the Decepticon turned informer, and the very "geriatric" Jetfire, another defector to the Autobots. But expect more kick ass Transformers on the scene, including the "Construction" crew and the Fallen himself... *wink wink*
Now, the story wasn't half bad... it established a strong connection between human and transformer history, and it manages to connect the dots and shows the importance of the battle, the War coming to Earth and the seach for Energon. Production work... as expected, not bad but not inspiring either, except for the first and final scenes.
Thats the thing... I loved the beginning and I loved the end (even though it was a tad too long) - the middle was mostly... mixed. Loved the humor, Bumblebee and the Twin's antics, but the "human" scenes sucked. >____<""
Anyways.... I said Id try to keep the pain short, but in all honesty....
*looks around and comes in close
i ENJOYED TERMINATOR SALVATION BETTER!! Salvation.... is the better movie out of the two. I dont know why, but Salvation worked for me so well.... I didnt feel disappointed. But Transformers let me down, it cannot exceed its predecessor, it actually fell back two steps, which is surprising, because the original strengths of the movie were its visuals and graphics... and they stuffed it up here in my opinion in some crucial scenes.
Enjoy.Not as good as the first.

The Thing
by KhrisObviously from Carpenter's golden era, this is probably the best of his big production movies and certainly one of the most thrilling. The plot is chock full of tense thrills and the grotesque horror is first rate.
Carpenter teams up with his leading man Kurt Russell, who leads a group of American scientists in the Antarctic when their camp find themselves in an unearthly predicament... an alien chameleon which imitates organic lifeforms has infiltrated their camp, they are hundreds of miles from the nearest base and bad weather has cut all communications. with each of them being infected and killed one by one, its a mystery and race against time to stop the creature before it can escape.
An original thriller horror, it doesn't pull any punches and the effects are still disgusting and effective today. You will be wondering who is infected and who's not, as the team turn on one another, while Russell tries to figure out who is the alien in disguise.
Backed by Carpenter's trademark simplistic, yet effective score, the whole movie is simply made but has a profound effect, which in my books makes it a never-ending classic.
ENJOY!Hey, you should really see this!

Crank 2: High Voltage
by KhrisO__O???????????
Jeez, I thought the first movie was created by some guy high on crack.... man it was some good shit.
This one.... someone had a brain explosion!!!!
If you thought it could get any crazier... High Voltage is a shocking good time in hardcore violence, debauchery and everything dirty, nasty... all our guilty pleasures. XD
Pretty much we should all be scratching our heads and wondering if anything is possible... if we took a free fall dive out of a helicopter we'd be avacado paste. But then again, we arent Chev "Superman" Chelios.... god damn, theres no way I can write a PG rated review which would make sense.
Just watch the damn movie if you are as sick and twisted movie goer like me. Or, as the Flix stats put it, 60% of us liked it. We are all f****** up arent we? XDHey, you should really see this!

Terminator Salvation
by KhrisIts no T2... and in all respects, you don't go watch this movie to comment on his great storytelling, superb acting or directing... you got watch this just to have a good effin' time.
Anyways, superb camera work, soundtrack and action of course!!! And for people who have a problem with Bale's "Bruce Wayne" voice and Sam Worthington's "Aussie" accent... well like I said, its noticeable but please dont make a huge deal about it. Its not worth the energy or your time, and who really cares?? Im concentrating on watching the entire screen blowing up in my face, a lot of guns and kick ass machines. Who gives a shit about accents??
Anyways, Sam Worthington was great, an action star in the making... forget the Aussie accent, he rocks cause he's Aussie! I mean, noone gives a shit about how Jason Statham speaks like a Brit in his movies. XD
As for Bale, good job, but as for the accent, thats the way his American accent is... the Bruce Wayne NOT Batman voice. I mean, we can't have him talking Welsh now can we? The screen time was shared, but the movie really goes to Worthington and young Anton Yelchin whoes making a few appearances - he pulled of a great Kyle Reese, Michael Biehn and James Cameron would be proud. There is a lot of throwbacks to the original movies to which Im glad they stayed true to... but the twist of half organic and half machine part humans was freaky... but as the story goes, the movie was really about Marcus Wright's "salvation" from a murderer to hero... he got his second chance and made it count, despite not being human on the outside, he was human when it counts - a quick throwback to T2 when Arnie was learning "human behaviour" from John.
I guess the best part is the appearance of "Arnie"... it was the "original" buff and long haired model... and though we see a lot of big guys and Worthington is not small, but Arnie really does make everyone seem damn small... freakish! Notable mention to my man Common, he had great screen time, and Moon Bloodgood is smokin.... but whats with the name???
Anyways, seriously, one of the bestsci-fi flicks out. Its the year of the Sci fi methinks, with this and Star Trek taking huge slices of the pie, and if thats not enough, Transformers 2 is coming soon!!! Talk about across the board, ages and generations... O___OHey, you should really see this!

Up
by Jason***WARNING: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE IF YOU SUFFER FROM OR CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH DEPRESSION***
Where does Pixar come up with these ideas? I have yet to see one of their movies I did not like. I will admit the concept of an old man flying away by means of helium ballons attached to his home does not appeal to me; but the eye for detail the animators put into the movie certainly brings out the wow factor. Why do other animation companies even bother?
If there is one thing about this movie that steers it away from the other films it is depressing. There are a lot of moments that would make you cry and feel for the characters. If that's the case then the movie has achieved the primary goal of filmmaking.
There is some humour in the film such as Doug the dog and Wilderness Explorer Russell. Both act as a foil to the movies hero, Karl. Russell is everything Karl use to be full of optimisim and adventure. With his current battle with old age Karl wants to fufill a dream he and his late wife had since they were kids. Adventure is across the hemisphere where Karl meets his childhood hero who has become a psychopath obsessed with catching a rare bird. It doesn't take long to figure out the past is the past and we need to move on towards the future.
We have not seen the last of Karl and company, no I'm not talking sequel I am talking the inevitable Oscar nominations, and the big DVD promotional release. Pixar struck gold yet again will the streak continue with next year's Toy Story 3?Hey, you should really see this!

Splinter

...kinda like 28 days/weeks later. the whole 'infected' humans turning into zombies idea, only these zombies are prickly xD
bit cheesy in it's own little way, very gory though, blood and guts content and all that.
Basically, as i see this film it's a low budget 28 weeks later. Same hiding and running from the 'infected', hiding out in shops etc etc....
lets just say, i've seen worse :PHey, you should really see this! Not for the weak-stomach, faint-hearted type person, thats why it's rated 18's xD

Terminator Salvation
by JasonI'm taking a stand. I'm flat out boycotting this movie. Most people are wondering why, and the quick answer is Christian Bale. As many know our dear celebrity went ape-shit on the director of photography for the film (footage can be seen on YouTube. Search Christian Bale Rant). Yes the DP made a mistake but Christian's reaction was by far one of the most disgusting displays of human behaviour I have ever seen. The fact he was ready to punch the guy, and behave holier then thou is a huge slap in the face to actors everywhere. After seeing this the earlier reports of him beating his mother and sister are becoming more realistic. So does this mean I'm boycotting all of his movies? No just this one, until such time as I feel he has redeemed himself. Yes this is a hard decision to make as I am a big Anton Yelchin fan, and since he figures prominently in this movie it is going to be hard to overlook one of his contributions to cinema. Still a message has to be sent and I will not tolerate people in real life treating others like crap for their mistakes, no matter who they are.
Hey my code of ethics is telling me to boycott this movie.
