“Mary Poppins” Movie Review
“Mary Poppins” Plot Summary
A magic nanny comes to work for a cold banker’s unhappy family.
Practically Perfect
Mary Poppins is, without a doubt, the finest non-animated film in the Disney canon (yes, there is lots of animation) and a genuine classic
I won’t repeat what’s been said in the many fine reviews here on IMDb, I’ll just say that there are a few problems that are glaring and make the film a tad less enjoyable for me: 1. Dick van Dyke’s cockney accent is horrible. He sounds like an American imitating a Londoner trying to imitate a cockney. It’s bloody awful! While I find his singing and dancing admirable and entertaining, his speaking voice is nails-on-slate. Had the producers just dubbed his speaking voice with that of Michael Caine – a real cockney – I wouldn’t find this so annoying. This is tune out number one.2. The film is too long. Some judicious cutting, especially of a couple of the lesser musical numbers, would have been in order. Also, the final boardroom scene in the bank goes on for far too long
This is outweighed by the utter charm of the whole thing and the near-magical presence of the splendid Julie Andrews – a performer worthy of admiration if there ever was one. This is a woman with talent, incredible personal charm, and true charisma. She is a leading lady, pure and simple. She more than makes up for the aforementioned minor problems for every second she is on screen is magic
One glaring omission from all the reviews I’ve read is an appreciation of the two ladies who played the elder servants in the household – the American character actress Reta Shaw and the British Hermione Baddley (sp?). Both lend top-notch support and are quite wonderful, especially Shaw, who was one of the most popular and talented character actresses of her era. (She is best remembered for her semi-recurring role on TV’s BEWITCHED and for her presence in most of Doris Day’s films.) Shaw was a skilled song-and-dance performer with a deep voice and commanding presence and a master scene stealer.

“Saw VI” Movie Review
“Saw 6″ Plot Summary
Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy…
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Best Saw yet, but not by much!
Almost everyone looks for a 6th sequel(if there is one) to flop miserably, but this sequel defied all odds. In order to appreciate the full value of Saw 6 you must have followed and payed attention to all previous Saws. Saw 6 answers lots of questions from previous Saws in style and Saw 6 has an awesome story on its own. Hoffman becomes an incredible character, as he was shaky in both Saw 4 and in Saw 5. Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) gives a performance Oscar worthy. Some of the acting was poor, but for the most part a lot better than other Saw films. The Traps were good and there was a lot of suspense while they were taking place. The Traps also took time and creativity to come up with and were unlike any other traps in previous films, which was really hard to do!(except in the end trap which reverts to Saw 1!!). Go see Saw 6, you will not be disappointed.

“American Beauty” Movie Review
“American Beauty” Plot Summary
Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation for his daughter’s attractive friend.
a very well done film that continues to amaze me…
When I first saw this movie in theaters, I found it to be very funny. When I rented it at home, I found it to be very sad and complex. Looking at it now, I realize that it is surely one of the most extraordinary films ever to come out of Hollywood. To some it may look trite or cliched, or maybe too un-ordinary to be worthy of its praise, but the overall impact of this film is extremely powerful. After you’ve seen it, you know you’ve seen something
A few notable elements stand out. The direction is superb; this is visually a superior film, for the director understands the subtle changes in tone. The writing is equally compelling; the story effortlessly interweaves multiple stories to create one amazing movie. The haunting music is also notable. Lastly is the acting. Kevin Spacey has done excellent films before, and he can add this one to the list. He may be a little to witty to suggest the overshadowed character he portrays, but he simply disappears into the role. Annette Bening is also fine; a less strong role, but she is magnificent none the less. As the teenagers, Thora Birch is able to mesmerize us with one intense look; her ‘typical teenager’ role is fleshed out completely. I enjoyed Mena Suvari’s character equally. It seemed that she did not receive as much acclaim, but her performance evokes both innocence and experience, and her scenes toward the end give her a depth unlike any other character. And Wes Bentley, as the video-taping boy next door, is easily the most original character. At first he seems a little tense, but, like Spacey, he sinks into the role. His ‘purpose’ in the film, unlike anyone else’s, is a mystery, thus making him the most enigmatic person
Most films are able to make a lasting impression on its audience, but never has a movie been known to ‘move’ its viewers as much as this movie. It truly says something about life, no matter how predictable or tacky it appears, this film disturbingly shows us how to appreciate our individual lives, so therefore, when they are over, we each have something to remember.

“The Tale of Despereaux” Plot Summary
The tale of three unlikely heroes – a misfit mouse who prefers reading books to eating them, an unhappy rat who schemes to leave the darkness of the dungeon, and a bumbling servant girl with cauliflower ears – whose fates are intertwined with that of the castle’s princess.
We loved it.
The movie was Excellent. My son who is 2 1/2 was just so into it and not scared. They are just rats. Why is everyone so sensitive?! A lot of cartoons have animals that scare people in real life like snakes. Besides, based on personal experience, there was friend who would not let her son watch Ratatouille because of the rats, but then let him watch Dark Knight, hmmm? The mouse was so cute. I really enjoyed that this cartoon finally took a turn from what is usually out there. Right now we are stationed in Germany and the Europeans have a lot more cartoons like this. The graphics are just nicer. I do not have a problem with watching cartoons as long as they are not weird like the standard ones on TV today. For example, the digital mickey mouse. They are just not natural enough. I hope that many people will cherish this cartoon and go back to what used to be traditional Disney style and cartoons.

“Wild Hogs” Movie Review
“Wild Hogs” Plot Summary
A group of suburban biker wannabes looking for adventure hit the open road, but get more than they bargained for when they encounter a New Mexico gang called the Del Fuegos.
Must Watch
This movie has to be one of my all time favorites. John Travolta was an absolute champion in this movie and had me in tears laughing
For those who don’t know, wild hogs is a movie about a bunch of nerds or wimps who went to high school together and decide to go out on a road trip
This movie just keeps getting funnier, its unpredictable and just totally random in a way but it still follows the story line. To conclude this movie is a must watch and i can almost guarantee that you will be in stitches laughing at these mates try to be cool biker dudeMitch
