Erratic in its comic timing, awkwardly serious and mean in its drama, totally unconvincing in its basic premise, wildly improbable in its lead character, starkly unappealing in the man's obnoxious personality, stumbling and bumbling in its plot progress; this is, well, incomprehensible. Comic scenes never get a chance to develop into a joke, the gaps between moments of failed gags being filled in by f-words. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/observeandreport.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/observeandreport.htm Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:59:57 -0400 After long anticipation and periods of excitement from the fans, the Hannah Montana movie was finally released today in all theatres across USA and Canada! UK, Europe and the rest of the world releases are to come either later this month or next month at the latest. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/hannahmontana.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/hannahmontana.htm Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:00:01 -0400 The latest movie in The Fast and The Furious movie series is a fun ride and a great way to be entertained. The original cast is back! And fast car lovers will get a kick watching this movie. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/fastandfurious.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/fastandfurious.htm Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:00:02 -0400 What? What? A film about early-20 youth that does not make the boys look and sound like air-headed balls of libidinous ego, preoccupied with fashioning obscenities into a monument to the generation? And guys actually have, what do you call them, feelings? This, my friends, is a daring movie. Oh, this is rare and what a breath of fresh air. Greg Mottola, the director who made the admirably funny and decent quality Superbad, now gives us the continuously amusing romance comedy Adventureland in which things happen because, in the ingenious way in which the situations unfold, they have to happen. They just grow naturally out of a virtual garden of fertile small conflicts. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/adventureland.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/adventureland.htm Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:00:03 -0400 Dazzling action for the kids, easy plot to follow, and appealing monsters. Frankly, though, except for the sexy 50-foot tall heroine of Barbie-like proportions and the longest legs in the known universe, nothing really much for adults. The film's action motif is high-ratcheted stuff, with every motive apparently directed to very short attention spans. The scale is kept grand, the goals simple. The general concept imagination level is not impressive. Dialogue is primarily for the tots, with just a few gratuitous references at adult level. One gets the distinct sense that at the scripting level, nobody really tried very hard at this. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/monstersvsaliens.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/monstersvsaliens.htm Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:00:04 -0400 Atticus Finch represents the highest ideals of a human being, someone who is not only handsome and charismatic but a decent, courageous man of action. Those are the kinds of roles that Gregory Peck primarily played throughout his acting career. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/gregorypeck.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/gregorypeck.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:50 -0400 Orlando Bloom debuted in the year 1997 as a rent boy in the film Wilde. And just two days after his graduation at Guildhall, he took one of his most popular movie roles to date, Legolas from Lord of the Rings trilogy. This would not have happened if he got the role he auditioned for, the role of Faramir, who becomes part of the story only on the second part. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/orlandobloom.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/orlandobloom.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:51 -0400 Leonardo DiCaprio, born Leonardo Wilhelm Dicaprio, was born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California to parents Irmelin Inderberken, a former legal secretary, and to George DiCaprio, an underground comic artist as well as comic book distributor. Leo is best known for his choice of great roles which he has won several awards for. His most notable roles include his breakthrough performance in This Boy's Life, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Titanic, Romeo + Juliet, Blood Diamond, The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, and his most recent film, Revolutionary Road. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/leonardodicaprio.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/leonardodicaprio.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:51 -0400 William Bradley Pitt or Brad Pitt was born on December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma to parents William Alvin Pitt, a truck company owner, and Jane Etta Pitt, a high school guidance counselor. He has two younger siblings, Doug and Julie Neal. Despite being born in Oklahoma, the Pitts grew up in Springfield, Missouri, and were raised as conservative Southern Baptists. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/bradpitt.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/celebrities/bradpitt.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:52 -0400 What's incredible about this film is that such a talented bunch of cast and technicians could do such great individual jobs yet be so woefully directed overall; "The Forgotten" has an intriguing premise that is at the end of the day badly executed. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/forgotten.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/forgotten.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:52 -0400 W. is Oliver Stone without teeth. There are no left-wing jibes at one of the most controversial US Presidents in history, nor is there much fair or three-dimensional exploration in to the character of George W. Bush. Instead, we are left with a film that could have been ninety minutes long instead of two+ hours and still covered the same ground. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/w.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/w.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:53 -0400 This classic rags-to-riches tale accomplishes the feat of not only telling a great story of triumph over adversity but manages to open your eyes to a part of the world that is hardly ever covered in a Hollywood film besides cliches; no wonder the Academy gave it the Best Picture Oscar. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/slumdogmillionaire.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/slumdogmillionaire.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:53 -0400 With a very strong story, subtly executed and detailed direction, this historical drama about a mother's strong determination to find her kidnapped son is a touching ordeal of love, sacrifice, brutality and police corruption. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/changeling.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/changeling.htm Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:17:53 -0400 The movies that brought us up, and the ones that severely let us down. Here is a recap of last year's movies busts and blockbusters. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/moviesof2008.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/moviesof2008.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:21:56 -0400 This list comprises the war films that got us immersed in the action as well as in deep thought. There have been countless war films throughout the century, but these ones seem to stand above the rest. This list if geared for the films with more action rather than emotional stories (Schindler's List). http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/10bestwarmovies.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/10bestwarmovies.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:21:57 -0400 It seems like all we see in the movie industry is sequels and remakes. If that is not the case then it was a book or comic strip. Are there no original ideas left in this world? Saw 5, High School Musical 3? Rocky Balboa (6th one in the series). When do you draw the line or cut em off? It seems as long as the sequels keep making money, the producers will keep at it. I know it's no big news that movies are all about money in Hollywood. But we as movie goers need to stop supporting this drive. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/sickofsequels.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/movies/sickofsequels.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:21:58 -0400 Smart. Very smart. Indeed, it is so sophisticated, loaded with mazes of mazes of plot turns and dazzling wit that, y' know, you may not even like it. I'll observe that if you truly comprehend and follow every scene, you're at major league level rocket scientist level. It is best, you realize after a bit, if you just let it all flow as long as you understand what the key characters' basic motivations are. "Who was that?" and "What's s/he mean by that?" are just too complex to deal with continuously. To make matters even more challenging, time periods are mixed freely, although captions do advise you as to when you are where you are. Roberts and Owen are absolutely electric together, drawing, repelling equal and opposite energies, radiating a crackling romance undertone. Their dialogue is so peppery and provocative that you're just handling one retort when two more overwhelm you. At the same time, the sizzling dynamic of corporate greed chillingly overruns the schemes. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/duplicity.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/duplicity.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:22:01 -0400 Just don't bother to analyze it or let your cynical sense get in your way and this is a darn good sci-fi film. Just when you thought you'd seen the most dazzling apocalyptic special effects of all, here goes Hollywood ratcheting them up again. But the film very efficiently and competently picks up on its quirky hook about a large set of cosmically derived numbers which forecast disasters and goes on to build some solid suspense all the way up to its supercharged ending. For an experience that turns out to be an almost spiritually grandiose concept of how and where we're headed in a uniquely splendiferous, gargantuan final scenario that'll leave you in a shock spellbound state, I will very much recommend this. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/knowing.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/knowing.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:22:02 -0400 BOTTOM LINE: Very clever and cerebral, Duplicity has enough twists and turns to engage you in its 2-hour journey of professional double and triple dealing between characters and corporations, but the film ultimately does not make you care enough about it to make that journey satisfying. THE GOOD: It is refreshing to see so much effort has gone in to the crafting of a complicated and cerebral story in Duplicity, the latest work from writer/director Tony Gilroy who also crafted the well received Michael Clayton. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/duplicity2009.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/moviereviews/duplicity2009.htm Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:22:03 -0400 The Big Bang Theory portrays two hyper-intelligent and ultra geeky physicists, come room mates (Leonard and Sheldon) and what happens when an young charming woman (Penny) moves to the apartment next door. The nerds live in a technology-bound environment and are totally oblivious to the outside world. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/bigbangtheory.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/bigbangtheory.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:52:56 -0400 Gossip girl is said to be special experience for many. Its endorsement deals and ratings are the proofs that all the shows have permanently made their mark felt on the 21st century pop culture of the teenagers. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/gossipgirlactors.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/gossipgirlactors.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:52:58 -0400 The medical drama just keeps on getting served like pancakes. It seems that Hollywood has really hit the vein this time with Grey's Anatomy episodes. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/greysanatomyeo.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/greysanatomyeo.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:52:58 -0400 When it was first announced that after years of speculation there would be a new Battlestar Galactica miniseries, science fiction and genre TV fans weren't too sure whether or not it would be worth the effort. After all, as beloved as the original TV series was, it was far from brilliant. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/sciencefictionmasterpiece.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/sciencefictionmasterpiece.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:52:59 -0400 90210 TV show is one of the latest teen dramas that CW has produced following the internet and teen market success of Gossip Girl. This teenage flick is not an entirely new enterprise since there was already a show using the same concept and formula in the 90's---Beverly Hills 90210. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/90210tvshow.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/tv/90210tvshow.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:53:00 -0400 The graphic novel Watchmen introduces some of the most humanized superheroes ever seen in comics. It veered away from the virtuous and larger-than-life characteristics of stereotyped heroes we have been accustomed to seeing in comics. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/watchmencharacters.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/watchmencharacters.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:36 -0500 Watchmen was published in an era when the comic book genre was dominated by superheroes and antiheroes with black and white views about good and evil. It is a parody of the overman in dystopia. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/deconstructedgraphicnovel.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/deconstructedgraphicnovel.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:37 -0500 Started in 1986, writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons formulate a mystery based on the Cold War, wherein the threat of nuclear warfare is an imminent fear. The story explores the possibility that superheroes existed in the 1940s. Thus, in the setting of the Watchmen graphic novel, superheroes are roughly classified into two. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/leftacomicbook.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/leftacomicbook.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:37 -0500 In a gritty and alternate 1985 the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/watchmentrailer2.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/watchmentrailer2.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:38 -0500 Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen? http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/neverseen.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/neverseen.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:38 -0500 It's the 1980's and it's a different world. Superheroes have been outlawed, the only ones still in operation under direct control of the United States government. Suddenly, those heroes both still in action and retired find themselves targets by an unseen enemy, who wants to kill them one by one. http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/comic-conpreview.htm http://www.coolmoviequotes.com/watchmen/comic-conpreview.htm Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:43:39 -0500 Blunty reviews WATCHMEN, http://www.PonderPop.com Finally after an agonizing two week wait since I attended a special Press screening if the movie, at long last I'm allowed talk to people about this astounding, and surprisingly powerful film. Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder. Once your done with the review, I encourage you to check out my exclusive interviews with director Zack Snyder and stars of the film; Jeffery Dean Morgan and the stunning Malin Ackerman.
