Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity review

Posted : 4 months, 2 weeks ago on 14 February 2008 07:12 (A review of Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity)

Funny and cute... though I'm not sure this is something I would watch several times. Good for quite a few laughs though, and truly theb est part is the voices and affectations rather than the actual jokes.

Bring It On: In It To Win It (Full Screen) review

Posted : 6 months ago on 3 January 2008 12:18 (A review of Bring It On: In It To Win It (Full Screen))

If the last two sequels were cheesey, then this was ten times that. The music wasn't as good, the puns were more outrageous (and often off-colour), and this whole movie might as well have been a musical. The majority of the dialog was just one run-on cheer.

Against the Wall (Quality of Life) review

Posted : 6 months ago on 3 January 2008 10:23 (A review of Against the Wall (Quality of Life))

Though you can get the message that the movie is trying to send, it unfortunately does it without a lot of heart. Whether it was bad directing or bad acting, there seemed to be a lot of emotion missing from the movie and there wasn't any passion that came across on screen.

Roméo & Juliette review

Posted : 1 year ago on 17 June 2007 11:33 (A review of Roméo & Juliette)

The production itself was actually fabulous. Great music and great cast with superb sets and costumes. Unfortunately, I think seeing the musical itself live would have been far more preferable to watching the DVD. There were some added special effects or slow motion shots that you obviously wouldn't have gotten in the concert hall. That sort of took away from the magic of the acting and dancing, but since going to Paris to see the product wasn't so much an option, the DVD is an excellent choice.

The Inheritance review

Standard, romantic adaptation. I think every girl grows up hoping she's secretly the daughter of royalty or money! ;)

Camp Slaughter review

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 20 May 2007 06:15 (A review of Camp Slaughter)

I generally have a high tolerance for bad horror movies, it's what I'm into... but even this one wasn't passable. A sumemr camp reliving the same day in 1981 over and over again?! And the plot wasn't even the worst part... the acting was. It was horrible and so were the sub-par "effects"; they overused the fake blood, even in places where there shouldn't even have been any.

Nicholas Nickleby review

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 20 May 2007 01:33 (A review of Nicholas Nickleby)

I really sweet (and sad) adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel. I'd say this movie is more of a gem for the wonderful performance by Christopher Plummer than anything else, though.

Very cute and funny... The movie had a great sense of humour for what can truly be painful for teenagers!

Bring It On - All or Nothing (Widescreen Edition) review

They should have given up on this franchise after the first movie! It was quirky and fun, but the others have been just sad. This movie also lacked those really good medleys during the routines, which the other two movies had. They concentrated so much on the pop stuff for the rest of the soundtrack that the actual cheers had some played out film scores.

Stomp the Yard (Widescreen Edition) review

Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 18 May 2007 07:58 (A review of Stomp the Yard (Widescreen Edition))

There are a few parts of this movie that are reminiscent of "You Got Served" but this movie does it with so much more class and theatrics. The plot's a little thing and tentative, but admittedly if you're watching this it's just for the stepping and battling. I absolutely love the way this was shot, interspersing slow motion with cameras wavering to the stomping and varying up the angles and perspective. I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed watching the choreography, but it was superbly done.
