“Hairspray” Movie Review

“Hairspray” Plot Summary

Pleasantly plump teenager Tracy Turnblad teaches 1962 Baltimore a thing or two about integration after landing a spot on a local TV dance show.

I Am Shocked

I am shocked at how much I liked this movie. When I first heard about it, I wasn’t too excited. I’m not a big fan of musicals and I didn’t think this would make me warm up to them. But I really loved this movie. It was absolutely fantastic. I was forced into seeing this movie and I didn’t expect it to be that good

My sister asked me to take her daughters, Jacqueline and Emma to see the movie and I was a little reluctant to at first, but I eventually agreed to go. It wasn’t as good as Transformers, but it was a ton of fun! My nieces were smiling to the whole movie and so was I. It was just very funny and extremely enjoyable

The whole cast was absolutely superb. Nikki Blonsky has talent. She pulled off the role of Tracy great. Amanda Bynes was great as Tracy’s pal, Penny. I like Amanda, she is a funny girl. John Travolta as Edna, Tracy’s mom. Wow. Pretty good. Michelle Pheiffer and Brittany Snow play snotty mother and daughter, Velma and Amber Von Tussel. They were pretty funny. Christopher Walken is excellent as always. Queen Latifa as Motormouth Maybelle was pretty damn hilarious. Zac Efron as the dreamy Linc Larkin. He was pretty cool. Elijah Kelley as Seaweed was just awesome!The script was pretty awesome. The songs were good and you may find yourself tapping your feet to the music. The dialogue was fun and absolutely hilarious. The characters were very, very likable. You may even grow attached to the antagonists. It was very well written and the cast proved that even more

If you want to have a fun time at the movies, I really recommend Hairspray. Even the guys will love it. The songs, script, and cast were all excellent and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Even though I loathe musicals, this one was great. Go watch it. It’s very entertaining

“Die Hard 2″ Plot Summary

John McClane is forced to battle mercenaries who seize control of an airport’s communications and threaten to cause plane crashes if their demands are not met. add synopsis

Good Movie

I went into this thinking it wouldn’t be that good, but I found it very enjoyable.

This is a very good ‘Turn your brain off and relax’ action movie.

For some reason, I actually enjoyed this one more than the first one.

It does start off a little slow, and some of the characters are a little stereotypical, but it has an interesting premise, an interesting story, very good action sequences, and some great performances by most of the actors in the film.

You can tell everyone was trying hard to make a fun, interesting film, and it shows.

9/10. I recommend this to anyone who just wants to relax for about 2 hours and watch an entertaining action movie. It is a little slow for about a half an hour, but I don’t feel it makes it any less enjoyable. You don’t have to think about it, you can just relax and enjoy the ride.

“The Mist” Movie Review

“The Mist” Plot Summary

A freak storm unleashes a species of blood-thirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole-up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.

A great horror movie and a great deal more!

Most modern horror movie are simply ((insert expletive here)) these days. They either end up as a PG13 (ooh, scary!) or they end up with the hero winking into the camera and riding off into the sunset

The Mist does none of this. It is scary, violent and follows through to a logical, hardcore horror ending. The last horror film this good was 28 Days Later (kinda) or the Dawn of the Dead redo (for sure).

I don’t need spoilers to get across that if you’re a horror fan and you want to see a good kick ass R rated horror flick, you’ve come to the right place. Hell, even my wife thought it kicked ass and she’s a stickler for logic in movies

Just make sure you’re not sitting next to any plate glass windows and you’ll be fine! Oh, and if you read original novella, like I did, you’ll also be pleasantly surprised because THIS movie is true to the story it came from

Well done Frank Darabont for directing a great Stephen King adaptation … how about doing The Stand next?

“August Rush” Movie Review

“August Rush” Plot Summary

A drama with fairy tale elements, where an orphaned musical prodigy uses his gift as a clue to finding his birth parents.

Excellent comedy!

Watched this film last night with my wife and 17 year old daughter. It was unbelievably predictable and sappy. I understand filmmakers need to take some creative license, but the coincidences portrayed in this film are way beyond far-fetched

It doesn’t get any funnier than a smiling 4′9′ Freddie Highmore dressed in a tux leading the NY Philarmonic Orchestra in Central Park. Now that’s comedic genius!When the movie ended, several people in the audience (including the three of us) were laughing out loud

Holy cow…to think I paid for three tickets to see this trite mess! Should have stayed home and watched the Kansas-Missou game

Gave it a two since I like NYC and Greenwich Village.

    “The Shawshank Redemption” Movie Review

    “The Shawshank Redemption” Plot Summary

    Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.

    A movie revolution upon all others

    We have all see movies, comedies, action and dramas. We all liked ones, hated others, got into some other even and felt like part of it. In Shawshank Redemption; you start slowly, after a while you get attached, by the time you reach the middle of the movie you simply totally forget about anything outside the screen and feel a mixed stream of emotions going through you head before anything else! then comes a last 20 minutes of heart storming that is surely enough to raise the adrenaline to extreme levels even in diabetics! I felt warm, strong, happy and all other emotions one can think of, I felt I was the one who won, who got out of prison, i was simply fully satisfied

    This movie must be used as an Anti-depression by therapists! this movie proves that Oscars are either money bought gifts! or that who ever in charge of them are so smart that they couldn’t give any Oscar to The Shawshank Redemption knowing that the movie is on different – much higher- rating scale than the Oscars.. it’s simply over qualified!
