    “Changing Lanes” Movie Review

    “Changing Lanes” Plot Summary

    The story of what happens one day in New York when a young lawyer and a businessman share a small automobile accident on F.D.R. Drive and their mutual road rage escalates into a feud. add synopsis

    Good Thriller

    An original story, that escalates minor events into all out war between two fairly ordinary but stressed out individuals

    A simple road accident, leads to ‘Jackson’ losing his last chance with his kids because ‘Afleck’ didn’t give him a lift. And so it begins, a winding thriller of morality and revenge. ‘Tit for Tat’ rapidly becomes far more than just childish games, and the lives of everyone involved are turned upside down Very well cast and directed, this is a fine film, with an interesting story.8/10

    “Something’s Gotta Give” Movie Review

    “Something’s Gotta Give” Plot Summary

    A swinger on the cusp of being a senior citizen with a taste for young women falls in love with an accomplished woman closer to his age.

    Good!

    This movie is funny, cute, light-hearted, serious all rolled into one movie

    Diane gives her all in the movie, she unleashes all the insane things women go through in life. Her story is fascinating. Jack Nicholson is of course his usual ’swaggering’ self in this movie. He gives us his normal antics throughout the movie. His ‘heart-attacks’ are priceless. You can’t help but love him! Keanu, he is incredible in this movie. He is sincere, intelligent and magical. Amanda Peet, is over the top as in most of her roles. Overall this movie was excellent!

    “Whole Ten Yards” Movie Review

    “Whole 10 Yards” Plot Summary

    Jimmy the Tulip’s (Willis) quiet new life is shaken up by his old pal Oz (Perry), whose wife (Henstridge) has been kidnapped by a Hungarian mob. The Tulip and his wife Jill (Peet) spring into action. add synopsis

    I loved it!!

    I loved this movie. I don’t care what others say, I think this is a fantastic movie. Sure, it may not be as good as the original, but tell me, how many sequels are really as good as the original?? The originals are always the best, because they set the scene for everything, they introduce everything, and in comedies, are actually normally a lot funnier than the sequels. In action movies, they normally have more action in them, take Bourne Identity for example, excellent movie, sequel was alright but not as good, there was less action and more talking! Matthew Perry did fall over a bit too much though. In one movie you can only fall over or crash into stuff so many times, but in this movie that may have been overused. But what matters is the comedy that is in this movie, even if some people don’t see it or understand it. The mere fact that Jimmy is wearing an apron and head scarf is hilarious! Just because he’s constantly pulling gun on Jill doesn’t mean the movie has no story, it just shows that Jimmy is still a tough hitter as he was when when he wasn’t ‘dead’.

    The thing that I find annoying is that they make it so that Oz has no idea what’s going on- again!! It’s like he shouldn’t even be married to Cynthia ’cause he never has any idea what she’s talking about when she’s talking to Jimmy and/or Jill. Also, what’s with Yanni’s father being Jimmy’s dad as well?! What’s up with that? I mean, sure, it kinda fits, what with Jimmy’s occupation and attitude, but wasn’t it him and Yanni who were trying to kill him?! And, don’t the mafia classify their family as the most important thing to them apart from themselves and certain other members of the mafia??

    The cast still work together terrifically, and together make it a great movie. The original is still way better than the sequel, but like I’ve already said, what original isn’t better than a sequel?! I don’t care what others think, I reckon that this movie is terrific and I would totally recommend it to anyone who’s not sure about whether or not to see it.

    “The X Files: I Want to Believe” Movie Review

    “The X Files 2″ Plot Summary

    Mulder and Scully are called back to duty by the FBI when a former priest claims to be receiving psychic visions pertaining to a kidnapped agent.

    Good movie.

    There is a difference in reviewing bad film-making as opposed to personal taste. Frankly, I argue this movie more from personal taste, although X-Files – I Want to Believe is certainly not bad film-making. In all honesty, I was very nervous about X-Files I Want to Believe. Ever since Star Wars the Phantom Menace, I have learned to lower my expectations when venturing into Hollywood movies (although lowering your expectations to nothing could not save the Star Wars Prequels). Nothing is worse than a huge let-down. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull comes to mind the quickest. With X-Files, I Want to Believe, I went in with no expectations whatsoever and was thoroughly entertained. It made me pine for the old television series I loved to watch in the 1990’s (at least until Seasons 8 and 9). Dr. Dana Scully is working at a Catholic Hospital, fighting for a young boy who has little to no chance of surviving. She pushes herself hard, not giving up hope in the wake of despair. She fights for Alexander (the son she lost). The FBI comes to her, asking for help in tracking down Fox Mulder. They want his help in a baffling case. An FBI agent has disappeared. The only link is an unusual psychic. Not only does he have scant visions, he also is pedophile priest under house arrest. Of course, Mulder wants to believe this man. Scully, however, does not. This not only stems from her usual scientific mind, but also her moral outrage at his crimes. As this psychic leads them to various clues, a case slowly uncovers. Some strange, bizarre, twisted scheme of harvesting organs for nefarious purposes arises. Mulder of course ventures closer, putting himself in peril. Scully, balks, wondering if she can continue in Mulder’s dark world. Believe it or not, this one works. In fact, I liked it better than Fight the Future. While Fight the Future was inserted in the ongoing mythology of government conspiracies and alien extra-terrestrials, this one works more as a stand-alone movie, much like the episodes of the same flavor. I admit I liked the latter episodes better. So for the X-Philes who liked the conspiracy episodes better, you may want to stick to Fight the Future. That gets me to wonder if this movie will find new fans for the 15-year-old franchise, or only appeal to X-Philes. Only time can tell on that one. What makes this work for me, though, is that it is in the spirit of the original television series. It does not rely on paranoid delusions, government conspiracies, and alien extra-terrestrials. Instead, it relies more on a potentially dangerous and real situation with surrealism in the background. Just like some of the stand-alone episodes of X-Files, the outcome is not predictable. Also, by the end, the surrealism takes a back-seat to the suspense of catching the antagonists. It also unfolds slowly, not giving us a full glimpse into the nefarious plot finally revealed in the end. Just like the series, the antagonists goal is evil and eerie–pushing the envelope of imagination and fear. Just like the series, the plot is also based on real fringe scientific experiments. Both the movie, and the reality sent a shiver up my spine. By the way, leave the kids at home on this one. Kids younger than 11 or 10 might get some nightmares from this one. This paves the way for one thing X-Files television series did well: lacing messages of philosophy, religious allegory, and faith. Some of the best stuff comes when Fox and Dana converse with each other. Scully fears being with Mulder because his world brings around so much darkness, and she fears that. She also doubts her own faith. Mulder must ask himself questions in regards to his relentless search of the ‘truth.’ Another warning must go out that this movie is not an action movie. It works more like a thriller and a suspense movie instead of lacing itself with shootouts, car chases, and outlandish stunts. It also is not scary, but rather suspenseful. I think if Cris Carter were a better director, it might have found a little more suspense, and possibly a little more fright. That being said, I still think this movie works–at least for me.

    “2012″ Movie Review

    “2012″ Plot Summary

    An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

    Great roller-coaster ride

    Okay, the first thing I’d like to say is, ignore those comments from members who belong to ‘the worst movie ever club!!’ These members think it is way cool to label every slightly disappointing movie as ‘ the worst movie ever’ and emphasize their juvenility with tons of exclamation marks. They think it is way cool to trash movies.

    The movie just isn’t that bad. It’s not that great either so ignore those who gush and tell you how awesome it is and rate it 10 out of 10.

    This is a film best viewed in the movie theaters on the largest screen possible to enjoy the thrilling sensation of cities breaking up, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. This is indeed a thrilling roller-coaster ride. It is best to leave your brain at home, however, as you will cringe at the clichГ©s, the schmaltz, and the absurdities. That doesn’t make it the worst film ever, though. So go for the ride and enjoy the CG effects.

    “Whole Nine Yards” Movie Review

    “Whole 9 Yards” Plot Summary

    Nick is a struggling dentist in Canada. A new neighbor moves in, and he discovers that it is Jimmy “The Tulip” Teduski. His wife convinces him to go to Chicago and inform the mob boss who wants Jimmy dead.

    The Best!!!

    This is one (if not the one) of my favorite movies.

    I just loved it, it has an excellent plot, perfect acting from most of the actors, specially Matthew Perry… and it’s just great when you can find a movie nowadays where you can’t predict the ending cause everything is possible to happen.

    It’s very funny

    It’s enjoyable

    It’s a pleasure to watch, alone or even better with friends

    You’re gonna be in for a real treat…

    Although, if you like this one, don’t get your hopes up too high… Cause the second one ‘The Whole Ten Yards’, is faaaaaar from this good.

    Hope you like this movie as much as I did
