It has a lot of great and interesting ideas that just sort of flounder around looking for something to do. Characters are not well fleshed out. Everything felt sort of pointless. It has few laughs and no tears. Lots of things happen and quickly resolve without consequence. The overall outcome for the characters would have […]

I loved the first instalment and this next incarnation is equally brilliant. Has all the right ingredients of a great cast, evolving storyline, mystery, twists, turns, comedy and great cinematography.Daniel Craig leads again as the world renowned detective Benoit Blanc ultimately trying to uncover a who done it mystery. That said the rest of the […]

A beautiful movie taking place during Christmas. Ashley Williams stars as Kaitlyn Morrison, a widow with a 10 year old son named Adam. She and her son return home during the holidays. I will not interject any story line to spoil your watching pleasure. I will say that Ms. Williams delivers her best performance to […]

This is a truly great film and well deserving of the Palm D’Or.It has been said that it is pro IRA or IRA propaganda. I disagree. In fact I think the reverse is the case. It shows up both the brutality of war and the even greater brutality of civil war that sets nation against […]

Filled with holiday decorations and one Christmas song, this holiday film is about a self-indulgent agent who looses his job and in a desperate attempt to keep his one remaining client he promises to get her this one particular Christmas song by an unknown writer.This is how Luke Dawson meets Melody Douglass and her daughter. […]

FASTASTIC WATCH!! Saw this on lifetime yesterday and was very impressed! The title lured me in so I thought I would give it a watch and was much better than anticipated. It’s the type of film you would put the fire on for, get a nice glass of hot chocolate and laugh the night away […]

I was deeply moved by this film. The use of a wonderful poem by Matthew Arnold as the guideline for the movie was extremely well made. I loved the story and the way it was told. In Brazil it was not as successful as I expected it to be, but to me it was a […]

No better or worse than most of Shannon Tweed’s straight-to-video films. The final twist is pretty clever and you probably won’t see it coming, but the plot moves at about 5 miles per hour, and it’s filled with stupid, bumbling characters that hurt its credibility (notice the scene where the hero practically hands over a […]

I loved the animated BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 30 years ago, so I was looking forward to seeing this anniversary tribute. Sadly it was an over-produced and stuffed with performers who were not up to film and staged versions of this classic. The show had energy and point whenever Rita Moreno (the charming host), and […]

When I read the announcement for “Las Bestias”, the first thing I thought was “This is a kind of remake of “Strawdogs” (1971, Sam Peckinpah)”. And it was, mostly in the first confrontation in the bar at the beginning of the movie.Both “Strawdogs” and “Las Bestias” are about the difference between the big city and […]

A Fantastic Documentary! I LOVED it! I don’t want to give anything away, but it sure did have me on the edge of my seat at times. Whoa! Fantastic! Just Wow!

The story starts out well and the action scenes were choreographed well. But the story overall does not make sense and even the flashbacks which try to help tell what happened did not contribute anything to make the plot make sense at all.Mike Angelo is a great actor but even his great acting chops plus […]

This could have been a great film – unfortunately it was too long and wallowed in its own YouTube style filler music in far too many scenes. The core actors did a reasonable job, but the acting on the periphery was really laboured and felt amateurish – perhaps the script could have been sharper, I […]

This is a simple movie that has the typical story of a comedy, but is still a funny one. It uses many familiar and funny phrases that bring the movie to life. The cinematography is obviously on another level than Long Flat Balls (2006) and Long Flat Balls II (2008), which makes the movie more […]
