    “Secret Window” Movie Review

    “Secret Window” Plot Summary

    A writer is accused for plagiarism by a strange man, who then starts haunting him for “justice.”

    i love this movie!

    i love this movie, its great for the simple fact that Stephen king wrote the basic story line . the movie is pretty close cut from the book with a few exceptions like in the book he drinks Pepsi and in the movie he drinks mountain dew(or maby its the other way around) but other then a few things like that its pretty true to the masterpiece that is any Stephen king work, if u liked movies like psycho and identity u will love secret window because of the mind boggling psychological turn of all rational thought into a twilight zone that can only be described as the human mind when at its best and most vulnerable state.the fact that king opens eyes to the part of the brain that is only slightly touched in movies like red dragon(also awesome). definitely watch this movie if u like psychology related horror!

    “The Full Monty” Plot Summary

    Six unemployed steel workers form a male striptease act. The women cheer them on to go for “the full monty” – total nudity. add synopsis

    So much fun!

    It’s been a while since I’ve laughed so much while watching a movie. This six-pack of regular Joes really becomes very likable. And they’re played by an excellent cast. Each and everyone of them doesn’t look like an actor, if you know what I mean. A great comedy, but also a very touching film. There’s nothing funny in the harsh economic reality that these guys (and a lot of others) have to endure. The soundtrack is excellent. There’s even Gainsbourg ‘Je t’aime moi non plus’ in it. A movie that you just want to see again! Seen at home, in Toronto, on February 11th, 2006.87/100 (***?)

    “The Stepford Wives” Movie Review

    “The Stepford Wives” Plot Summary

    What does it take to become a Stepford wife, a woman perfect beyond belief? Ask the Stepford husbands, who’ve created this high-tech terrifying little town, in a very modern comedy-thriller.

    Colorful and comical remake.

    Frank Oz’s remake of the classic 1975 thriller may be critically bashed by some, but is actually a very entertaining re-envisioning

    Fired business woman moves to a small Conneticut village with her family, where she learns that the local housewives are acting very strangely

    The Stepford Wives 2004 is one of the most cleverly done remakes around. Rather than try to capture the expectations of the original film, this remake looks at the already-familiar story in a whole new light as a dark comedy. Even more effective is the fact that this is a truly funny and well-written dark comedy! The direction is lavishly good, the film has some wonderful sets, a great music score, and a very stylish credit sequence

    The great cast is yet another highlight. Lovely Nicole Kidman does an excellent performance as usual. While supporting cast Broderick, Midler, Close, Walken, and Bart make for some nicely colorful characters

    Just why so many people dislike this film I don’t know, but it’s a remake that is worth being viewed before being judged. Some have come to like this version better than the original film.*** 1/2 out of ****

    the best disney movie yet!

    Thank god that there is actuall someone down at disney who had the common sense to allow a new style of animated cartoon. Lilo and stitch is touching and beautifully created, and the water colour backdrops make it easy on the eye. It tells the story of Lilo and her older sister who adopt a small alien dog from the local kennels. Chris Sanders has made this film into a sentimental tale dealing with modern issues as well as creating comedy and a film great for kids and adults. It is so refreshing to see traditional surreal disney tales like beauty and the beast and the little mermaid, which are full of all singing all dancing hogwash, replaced by a beautiful piece od movie magic. Lilo and stitch is a charming and touching tale with perfectly casted voices and an ideal setting BRILLIANT!!!!! 10/10

    Entertainment for all.

    Forget the critics. This may not be greatest acting/script/etc but it is entertaining. I saw it at an 80% full session and the adults out-laughed the kids. I’m glad I went. Many small details for those like me who remember 1958. I have to admit that I like Jason Leee and he does a reasonable effort without being excessively silly. Ian played David Cross is a little over the top but this was acceptable to the adults and made it very easy for the youngest kids to understand. The animation of the Chipmunks was great, OK they did not look like real chipmunks but they did not look cartoonish like in Roger Rabbit. The story was reasonable and provided lots of laughs throughout which many ‘A’ grade comedies fail to do. In conclusion a ‘B’ grade family move which succeeds 100%’

    “The Boat That Rocked” Movie Review

    “Pirate Radio” Plot Summary

    A period comedy about an illegal radio station in the North Sea in the 1960s.

    Very funny and clever

    The best feel-good-factor film I’ve seen since Little Miss Sunshine. In 1967 I won a transistor radio and spent the next ten years listening to Radio Caroline (at night under the pillow, so the early scene is uncanny!!) The film is a clever amalgam of pirate radio fact and myth featuring barely disguised DJs, and cameo scenes from album covers, fashion shoots, etc.. (orgy in the hold = Electric Ladyland; girls arriving on the prow of the boat = Mary Quant…; poster scenes = Abbey Road…, etc.) Anyone’s guess if the station/boat owner is based on Ronan O’Rahilly. The kind of guy who, 20 years later might have founded a low-cost airline; The Marine Offences Act was a heinous offense against liberty and popular culture, worthy of the cold war opponents

    Beautifully filmed, a bit like smoking grass while listening to CSNY.

    Enjoying a peaceable existence in 1885, Doctor Emmet Brown is about to be killed by Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen. Marty McFly travels back in time to save his friend. add synopsis

    If the me of the future is now in the past…

    This is the best of the three Back to the Future movies. Two was a hodgepodge impossible to follow without a ’schematic’, but this one is enjoyable on all levels. No fancy anything, just a few good actors in a lovely part of the country enjoying their time together and producing a really good film for the rest of us.

    The lighting and cinematography are great, the historical details interesting, the plot fun, and the geography just plain confusing. What’s with ‘Devil’s Tower’ in the background of the drive in? Isn’t that like, somewhere in Nevada or something? It sure would be, ‘a hell of a long hike back to Hill Valley!’ Oh well, who cares? Marty has also gained some weight swooshing through the time portal this go around, but again, who cares? Michael Fox has said that ‘living happened’ between the production of these three movies, his son was born, his father died…he must have been thinking about time indeed.

    Thank you all who made this excellent film.

    “School for Scoundrels” Plot Summary

    A young guy short on luck, enrolls in a class to build confidence to help win over the girl of his dreams, which becomes complicated when his teacher has the same agenda. add synopsis

    Fun to watch

    There was a decent but not outstanding British comedy (1960) by the same name as this film, starring that great comic actor Alastair Sim, who also was wonderful as Scrooge in 1951’s Christmas Carol. It was based loosely (the books resemble self-improvement manuals) on Stephen Potter’s well-worth reading ‘One Upmanship’ and ‘Lifemanship’ books. Those hilarious best-selling books provide the reader with a guide as to how to use guile to get even with someone you identify as worthy of getting even with, or as Potter put it, ‘creative intimidation.’ To some extent the 2006 ‘School for Scoundrels’ could also be said to be based on those Potter books. While the original books and the 1960 film envisioned a small private college that taught the art of being one-up (if you are not one up, you’re one down), the 2006 version is a single self-improvement course taught secretly by a masterful rogue (Billy Bob Thornton) who calls himself Dr. P, to a group of low self-esteem ‘losers.’ His course resembles extreme confidence building sink or swim exercises more than one-upmanship. But he also goes one-on-one to put down the best of his students. It is explained that Dr. P is very competitive and shoots down anyone who might approach his level of skill. When facially challenged Roger (Jon Heder) unexpectedly is standing out as the best of his class, a one-upmanship contest between the master and the student gets underway

    This is a fun film to watch; not at all sophomoric and not leaning on the slapstick approach. In addition to the two leads, the rest of the cast includes, among others, well known comic Sarah Silverman and comic actor Ben Stiller. Stiller is about as good as he gets (he is usually in films that are not my taste in comedy, although I recently saw him in something I really enjoyed.) On the other hand, the lines given to Sarah Silverman just make her character brassy rather than funny and are not up to the caliber of her stand-up comedy that she writes for herself.
