Robert's Reviews

Loved it! Better than the first film, filled in a whole lot of story and set up wonderful things for the future of the franchise! FX were a visual delight!

I think Pixar dropped the ball a little with this one. Certainly not a standard to some of their other movies. Seems to me a little like an animated Short Circuit at times, not very original!

Quite an intriguing little dark comedy / horror. Definitely not everyone's thing, but if you like your movies a little quirky, your comedy dark, and your horror corny, put this on your list.

Wretched. Don't even be sucked in by the similar sounding title to that great B-Grade Samuel Jackson movie....this is a pile of steaming dung. The acting is miserable, the FX are kindergarten standard and the whole plot has more holes in it then a packet of Cheezels! The character stories have no interaction into each other, and I physically felt ill after seeing it - I want the hour and a half back please!

I enjoyed this film. Maybe I was in the right mind set on the day, because I can see where many people would hate this film, but on the day I got a great laugh from it once it kicked into gear. Took a while to start, and I almost lost interest early, but hang in there folks, it gets quite amusing. James Franco is a stand out playing the always stoned drug dealer, and Gary Cole as the villain is brilliant. Recommended!

A little sub standard by Owen Wilson's track record. I realise this movie may be aimed at a slightly younger 'tweener' audience, but I found it rather bland and dull. A few scenes raised a mild snicker of amusement, however, a week later, I can't really remember how memorable they were. On the upside, a great movie families can watch together, the young uns may get a giggle!

Top shelf thriller, if you can get past Shia's somewhat annoying carry on, I just don't rate him weel, his acting is a little off to me. However, this is a rip snorter of a thriller, and gets you thinking exactly what our governments are up to.

For a Japanese translation this movie scrubs up well! Throw in a bit of Final Destination, a touch of Scream, and just a pinch of The Ring, mix heartily, and enjoy this thriller / horror.

This movie is so funny, I could not stop laughing. Even when a stupid part was on, I was so busy laughing from earlier scenes it didn't bother me. This is what a spoof film should be like - continual sending up of other movies, real life events and people, and television shows. From superhero movies, disaster movies, reality tv, Britney Spears, action movies, dance movies, too the obvious, loosely borrowed plot of 300, even Happy Feet and March Of The Penguins gets a ribbing. Sure the humor is quite low brow at times, but that's the whole concept of these films! Some familiar faces - Carmen Electra, Kevin Sorbo, and Diedrich Bader (Oswald from The Drew Carey Show), this movie is an enjoyable bundle of laughs.

I actually quite enjoyed this movie. I can't believe others reviewing complaining about the ending, have you people not watched Shyamalan movies before? He always leaves the endings open to interpretation. I think this was a salvation following his previous attempt, Lady In The Water. Sure some of the acting seemed a little rushed, but the suspense was there, even a little splatter thrown in for fun. I just hope the rumors are true, and Shyamalan is returning to write a sequel for Unbreakable, by far his best work. If you're a fan of his movies, you'll enjoy this one, if you're tolerant of his movies, it may befuddle you, if you don't like his films, this one won't make you a fan. But i still suggest it's worth a watch, even for the poorly constructed ecological message it contains.

Oh Adam Sandler, what have you done???? You were funny once, and then I recieve this steaming pile of fresh horse droppings. This is 113 minutes of my life I will never get back. I barely raised a chuckle throughout. Bring back the classic Sandler, not this beefed up, new age, machismo Sandler! You're only getting one star, cos I got to laugh at Mariah Carey!

Classic, classic comedy! This is a brilliant story once again, crammed full of laughs. The eccentricity of Russell Brand adds depth to the humore, Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis add more than ample eye candy, and it left me with a feelgood happy vibe afterwards. Definitely one to add to the collection!

Bringing your major star from the first film back, can't redeem this steamer. Clearly lacking budget, the effects are shoddy and cheap, the plot drags way too long, and the characters are so wooden, the props look better than some of them! Starship Troopers set a bench mark for science fiction films, the sequel deflated it slightl, this movie sticks the pin in and bursts it!

Didn't reach the heights Iron Man set before it, but still a great adaptation. Gone are Ang Lee's confusing cut aways and segues, in is just a great character based and plot driven super hero movie. Nice cameos from Stan Lee, Lou Ferigno and Robert Downey Jr, and sets right into Marvel's current drive to an Avengers movie.

If you're a fan a Saw, this movie is right up your alley. Minus the elaborate traps and gore, this movie tends to focus more on the psychological aspect of the crime, but I enjoyed it. Elisha Cuthbert is hot, as always, and there are enough thrills and twists to make it interesting.

Exactly as described. 28 Days Later meets Mad Max! This was a thrill ride a minute. Very light on character, but lots of adrenaline packed sequences, culminating in a chase scene not witnessed since the days of Mad Max. Thoroughly enjoyed this film, watch it if you like small plot, big action, and violence doesn't bother you.

In my opinion, not one of the better parody movies. There wasn't as many send ups as other films, tried to rely more on it's own humor. Those that were included, made it funny, and scored extra stars, but otherwise, just your standard fare.

Top quality movie, for the kids, and adults to enjoy! Helped along by the comic talents of Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell, this movie has great jokes for the grown ups, and a great moral lesson for the young uns to boot.

Visually, this movie is a masterpiece, but when you look at how much it twists chronologically different historical eras into one mish mash to achieve this visual perfection, you really have to start asking questions. A great story, but so historically inaccurate I would never permit a student to watch this!

Cheap and ineffective movie. Definitely not Dominic Purcell's strong point. The plot is flimsy, the effects are laughable, and this is a real poorly put together straight to DVD release.

Started slowly, but a bellful of laughs by the end! So full of cliches and the reasons why people hate boy bands! Soundtrack is awesome, those songs are killer!!!

If this movie was a dog turd, I wouldn't scrape it off the sole of my shoe - I'd throw the shoe away. The whole sub plot has nothing to do with sharks, the special effects are suitably craptacular and the acting is stiffer than a week old corpse. Attack footage is rehashed documentary footage that is used over and over again, attacks are thrown in at random with no necessity to the storyline, and every attacking shark is dubbed with a menacing growl! This movie rates well below a steaming bowl of vomit, if it's on your list take it off - it's truly that bad!

Awesome movie. Spectacular effects, sure the plot was thin at times, but sit back and enjoy this movie for the visual feast it is! Definitely one of the best films i've seen recently.

If you're a zombie fan, you'll probably enjoy this. Not up to Romero's standards, but still plenty of gore and splatter to keep even the most ardent horror buff's interest. The acting is a little cardboard, and the storyline sometimes looks more like a comedy than a horror, but still an enjoyable watch.

Quite a brilliant movie, given the controversial storyline. Not one to be taken lightly however, those with weak stomachs, or aversions to graphic storylines involving children, possibly steer clear, but those with open minds and an ability to follow a harrowing storyline, this is a truly stunning movie, not to be missed in my opinion.

One of the most amazing pieces Ive seen this year. The imagery is amazing, and such quality! So good in fact Ive brought a copy!

Initially, I was somewhat dumbstruck by this film, but on rewatching, it's a classy little piece of work! Great little cameo by Jason Mewes (Jay in the Kevin Smith classics), and worth the price of rental to see Rollins in pink pants alone. Nice little piece made through Project Greenlight.

Ah Roger Corman. He has bought us so many great movies over the decades, now from his stable comes Dinocroc. This is going down as my favorite creature feature film in many years. It's funny, witty, well written and at times pant-soiling scary! CGI is pretty good on this one, sometimes the creature stands out like a sore thumb, but overall it's a great flick.

You need to pay attention to pick up everything in this film. The first three quarters rewinds to show each characters point of view before the big action packed climax grabs you by the seat of your pants and takes you on a joyride. Very well writeen, great cast and well acted movie. Would have got five stars if it wasn't for...well that would just ruin it. Watch this movie.

Not the worst movie out there of this genre, I found the plot totally out there however. The type of sharks featured in this movie are just not as they are protrayed (in fact very solitary), and the CGI versions were pretty kitsch. However, the acting isn't all that bad, and there is enough blood and dismemberment to keep the most ardent creature feature fan fulfilled.

A lot of the recent Japanese conversions (Dark Water, The Grudge) have really let me down in translation, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wouldn't say it was a scarefest, but certainly some very creepy moments throughout. The added bonus of eye candy Jessica Alba is the clincher for this one!

Not bad if you are a die hard horror fan, especially of the British style horror from Hammer and the likes. Otherwise, avoid this movie at all costs, especially if you are one of these recent converts to jump on the horror band wagon. I didn't manage to catch the entire film, but what I saw was clearly made on a low budget, with terrible acting, however the gore factor was outstanding!

This movie is absolute pants! WTF??!!

Not the best Dreamworks have produced, I struggled sometimes to remain interested in this film. The storyline was ok, but at times i couldn't help but think i'd seen it before. Jerry Seinfeld is the worst casting choice for a movie, having to listen to his voice droning like that for an hour and a half drove me nuts. Patrick Warburton (Joe from Family Guy) and Chris Rock provide the only highlights i remember.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of B grade creature features, but this was appalingly bad! The acting was wooden, even the addition of a few B-list / C-list celebrities could not save this one. The FX were so cheap and tawdry, really bad greenscreen quality, and the acting horrendous. For those brave enough to add this to their queue - look for a scene at the end when a dying soldier pulls his own 'intestines' out following an attack! Priceless! Shame we can't give negative stars.

Rob Zombie is a genius! Anything he touches turns to gold! A real creep fest in this retelling of the origin of Mike Myers - and he couldn't have found a child actor to tackle the role of young Michael any better. An absolute must for fans of any of Zombie's previous work (Devil's Rejects, House Of 1000 Corpses), or the classic spook films like Texas Chinsaw Massacre or the original Halloween.

Was quite surprised with this movie. I really thought it was going to be another period set chick flick, but there was plenty of intrigue and backstabbing, and some great battle sequences to keep any male engrossed long enough.
