Lady in the Water (2006)
Extremely Far-fetched Art
Sitting through this movie was different. Throughout the entire length of this movie I was flip flopping through what I was going to give this movie (1/5? 2/5? 3/5?). I was loving the characters; Giamani shows a great performance in this movie, and Shamalyn himself has one of the best and heartfelt moments when Story tells him that he is going to die because people don't agree with his words. But overall the entire concept of this movie just isn't believable. This would be different if it takes everyone a long period of time to believe the story, but as soon as Clevland (Giamanti) tells the story, they all seem to believe him instantly. This is why throughout this entire movie back and forth I could not decide on what to give this movie for a rating. This movie is original in many ways, the way the plot is developed is done in a way I haven't seen before in many aspects. But it is in the end missing something, maybe its the random ways things develop and how all these people that are needed are magically in the same apartment complex. I think that in the end I would give this movie a 2/5. But then again a 3/5. This is the only movie I've been on the fence this long for, so I believe that I keep thinking about it and maybe even watch it again.
Batman & Robin (1997)
Joel Schumacher, your fired.
I can't believe that if a great director like Christopher Nolan had not have come around, we would still be stuck with this piece of dung as the last installment of a Batman movie.
To make this review quick and painless I'll just name the major factors that made this movie suck.(besides everything):
-Acting (Clooney and O'Donnel, just get a room and save me 2hrs.) -Plot (ummm, what was it again?) -Character Development (Freeze, falls into a giant Freezer, oh now who's being creative.) -Directing (Batman lives in Gotham City, not downtown LA)
Overall, this is one of if not the worst movie I've ever seen. And aren't you all glad Nolan came along and set things to the way they should have been all along.
1/10 (dung powder)
Toys (1992)
Underrated is an Understatement
Going into this movie I had been to a few different sites for the average few of this movie, and on no occasion did I get a positive outcome. Then I saw this movie for myself and thought that there must be some mistake. But, I guess it's all just in the frame of mind you have. For the other's that have seen this movie and enjoyed it you are not alone in your opinion. Defend this movie will all your might, cause someone somewhere will not like it or understand it for that matter, and criticize you for it.
Today was the first time I've seen this movie, and thinking how people had at least given it positive marks for visuals I was wondering if it would live up to today's. I was amazed, the movie is beautiful in it's design and I can't picture any other actors more perfect for the part.
Overall I'm stunned at the negative reviews, I understand what people mean by not liking or understanding the plot, but that's the originality of it. I also understand other's negative reviews for the ending, even with the weird camera work. But, still that whole change in direction from the rest of the film is great.
See this movie, I'd say you won't regret it. Just get in that extra kooky frame of mind before hand. And have a great time courtesy of Zevo Toys.
