Samantha's Reviews

More of a horror movie than a comedy, but it is a good film. Nice cast also.

I am no normally a Sandra Bullock fan but i really like this film. She is funny as is Ryan Renolyds. Alaska is so pretty too!! And then there is Betty White, what a giggle!

I used to watch this all the time when I was young, but I struggled to sit through it last night. Thought it would be fun to revisit, but I guess i had forgotten it was a musical. I love Elliott though.

Such a weird show! Ive enjoyed the first three episodes so ill see how the next three go. It is a lot of fun and the imagery is superb but i can see it getting a bit ridiculous.

Michael Moores documentaries are so informative, so captivating, so inspriring and so thought provoking. Fahrenheit made me cry. It was so frightening and intense in parts.

I was wondering how they would incorporate Colin Farrell, Jude Law and Johnny Depp and it was done really well. I really enjoyed this movie. Lily Cole was amazing, as was the cinematography.

For me this is like watching a car crash. It is so horrible you cant look away, to a certain point. I can't stand the characters, the clothing, the voices. Ugh just everything.

I love Ricky Gervais, but this is not one of his best. To be honest, Jennifer Garner bores me to tears. The funniest bit was probably the start or the part with Philip Seymour Hoffman. Don't expect too much.

For my generation I think this is one of the funniest movies ever. It really appeals. It has everything from a sexy Bradley Cooper to a cute little baby and a tiger. Love this movie. Could watch it over and over.

Not what I was after

A lot of back up story for a tiny little bit of outcome, but I can understand the importance of the story and thought Sally Field was great,

One of my all time favourites!

Very intense, but a great story and some great acting by Emile Hirsch, I'm going to go and buy the book!

I loved this book when I was young and was really excited when I saw the cast involved. The animation was good and the move really was a bit of fun, BUT I just think it could've been better. I can't really explain why, just do.

After all the reviews, I wasn't expecting much at all. But it managed to better my expectations. There was quite a cast in this film. I love Robin Williams, even though he isn't as funny as he used to be. And Ella Bleu Travolta was great in her debut.. Couldn't stand looking at John Travolta's hair do. Ick.

It was a pretty funny movie. But it could have been funnier. I love Jason Segel though. He really made it for me.

too long, too confusing, too many characters, too much of a lull in the middle. but i did like malin akerman and some of the special effects, i definatley needed a bit more of an explanation as to why they were the way they were, which i'm sure they couldve fit into the three hours.

I gave it one star because i love anna faris and the other star for the few funny lines and appearences by hugh hefner. but otherwise it left me bored.

I LOVED this movie but I also LOVED the book! It is put together amazingly. The movie is visually amazing. I might say that it could be a little bit confusing with the timeline, for people who haven't read the book! James McEvoy was brilliant as was young Saiorse Ronan.

My boyfriend really built this up to be quite good, so I was disappointed when I watched it. I still think the full length movie made in the 1990's is the best!

Such a great show. I can't believe it doesn't have a bigger following in Australia.

Can't wait for season two

Wow. I normally like Anne Hathaway but this movie? Nuh uh. It was painful and irritating. The plot sounded great. I was let down.

I enjoyed this movie. It was very subtle and real. I liked the young actors and thought they did well for 14 year olds trying to covnvey a very serious message. I recommend it to patient viewers.

Hated this movie. It was disturbign and uncomfortable. It was a favourite of my father in laws so I gave it a go. But no thank you!

Seeing the Mentalist right from the start is very gratifying. Even the pilot episode has you hooked. And it only gets better

I thought I would love this because I loooooooved the musical when it came to Melbourne years ago. But this was rubbish. Hated Meryl Streep in it. It was just plain bad.

What a great Australian movie! I wasn't expecting it to be in documentary format but it still exceeded my expectations!

I have been getting to the series on television but the underlying plot was way beyond me so i decided to start from the beginning. Great idea. Its a great show, with great effects and ideas.

I love Simon Baker!

I hired this one because a friend of my family's was an extra in it. Otherwise I wouldnt have given it a second thought. But it turns out my whole family enjoyed it. Italian and not Italian. Although I think coming from an old Italian family would help and did ad a little bit of a comedic aspect to it as well. I love Andy Garcia tho.

I normally like Justin Long, so why he signed up for this is beyond me. Horrible. Painful. Admittedly the old lady was frightening but more so just really disgusting. Especially with the phlegm and the biting. Ah yuck.

I looooooooooooove the Mentalist so seeing it all over again and in order and not missing an episode is definatley up my alley. Great sure. Even greater characters.

I love Patrick Jane.

I was a big fan of The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe growing up so seeing it re done with amazing special effects was a great thrill for me. I also loved the young actors and actresses, especially whoever playes Peter. Its still a great story no matter how you look at it. Much looking forward to seeing the next chapter.

Pretty average. There was a good section of laughs in the middle. But a slow start and a slow end. I expected more from Rick Gervais. I wouldnt recommend it and I wouldnt watch it again, but I didnt entirely hate the experience.

I really didn't mind this one, but considering the reviews and basic genre of the movie I was not expecting much. I like the way they explained the history of what was happening so I wasn't left with a thousand questions like I normally am with these kinds of movies. It wasn't too gruesome either, the movie's menu was probably the worst of it and I was able to sleep the night after I watched it. That's always a plus. I also enjoyed the cast, it was very fresh. =]

Wow the guy who plays Robbie, what a looker. Couldn't stand the main character. Very girly, very British. I am a lover of British humour but most of this movies slang had me lost, minger? Just above average, thanks to Robbie.

I think it Was a bit much for me. But great special effects and I loved zooey deschanel and sam Rockwell. And the guy who player Arthur suited perfectly. That's about it.

Interesting to say the least. It was quite long so they could have happily cut a little out. Loved Mark Wahlberg (as usual). TERRIFIC ending. Haha

I loved RocknRolla it was everything i would want in a British crime movie!! I loved the characters, the plot, the dialouge and especially the ending. I'd recommened it!

Im not a fan of Nicholas Cage but i did enjoy this movie. The Riley character was great comic relief. Could have been better but overall, it was okay.

Not a typical Adam Sandler movie but i enjoyed it and so did the rest of my family. Although i think Russell Brand was my favourite part of the entire movie. Wasnt expecting to see him in a kids movie! It was your average Disney movie with a bit of a twist.

Slow paced but very intriguing. I liked it, but mostly because of the absurdities. Only piece of advice would be that If you hate Woody Allen do not bother.

I like movies where you have to figure stuff out so i thoroughly enjoyed this one. I love history as well so i got very into all aspects fo the film. Loved Tom Hanks also. It really makes you wonder.

The story is ridiculous but I still love Mark Wahlberg. Zooey Deschanel was good. Tiny little bit of gore which was needed to make it that little bit credible.

Some good dark humour, had me laughing in disbelief. Brad Pitt made this one for me.

Freaking hilarious. It was an enjoyable movie with some off beat characters. There is a little duo in it which made the movie for me. But i also looooooved James Marsden

Not bad. Not great. Loved Simon Pegg as always. It was based on a good idea, i just dont think it really mde it across the line. And a bit cliched maybe. Loved Jeff Bridges tho, HATED whoever playes Sophie Mayes.

I just didn't really get the concept. Or why? I normally love Kevin Smiths work, and anything with Jason Mewes (L), but not this time. And Ben Affleck?? Strange movie.

Lots of gruesome action so make sure your in the mood. Which i definately was!! Makes you wonder whether you would actually watch such a thing if the world ever got into such a state and whether if, in fact, its all that far off.

An old favourite. Never get over fairytales of this kind.

Four stars solely for Dane Cook. He is hilarious. I love his comedy, its so easy to tell when its his writing or someone elses. So in other words al the good parts are his genius work. Kate Hudson is also a favourite of mine. The end scene was hilarious and Alec Baldwin was great. But it did also have some slow and predicatble parts. But overall worth a view. And if you havent seen Dane Cook doing stand up. You are missing out!

I liked it alot. Good cast and a ice story but it stressed me out a bit too much in the end because i wasnt expecting such a twist. He's a great superhero, minus the uniform.

Amazing film.

If your a Seth Rogen fan you'll love this. Its really a bit of fun. It does get slow towards the end but any movie with Jason Mewes, Justin Long and Craig Robinson is worth a watch!

If you feel like a bit of fun action movie this will do. It doesnt have the most developed story line but the effects make it good as well as the fight scenes. Dont take it too seriously and enjoy James McAvoy.

Great movie, even better cast. Its got a real life ending, not a typical total happy ending. Loved it. Juston Long was amazing and you cant help but fall in love with Ben Afflecks character. There is a few heart wrenching scenes, and maybe even some too close to home. There is also a few good laughs. Goodwins character really epitomises female dating disasters and really makes you cringe. Overall very worthwhile. Even my man enjoyed it.

True 80's movie. Loved Corey Haim, Corey Feldman on the other hand was a bit strange. If your not expecting too much from a story line and want to have some good old fashioned fun then The Lost Boys will give you that. Flashback and a half.

Not bad. It was a great idea but Hugh Jackmans accent and not being able to see what was happening half the time because it was too dark kind of ruined it for me. Also in some parts there was just too much going on. David Wenham was fantastic though. Great to see an Aussie doing some good work around the globe.

Averagely funny. It makes you miss the Jim Carrey of old though, with Mask and Liar Liar. Its a good idea but it seems to take a while. Zooey Deschanel is great though and Rhys Darby sure does make you smile.

Averagely funny. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott work great together though and Bobbe J. Thompson and Christopher Mintz Plasse or should i say 'McLovin' add on the really good comedy. But really, who could have thought of this??

Ok I laughed AAAAAAALL the way tho! Completley politically incorrect and totally aimed at youth but I could not stop laughing. Robert Downey Jnr amazed me. Whoever thought of this movie (most likely Ben Stiller) is a comedic genius. BUT you HAVE to use subtitles!

How could you not love the cast! This movie is one of my old favourites but revisiting it you realise it does go for a bit too long. Its a good fun movie.

I really like Kate Hudson in it, but wasnt sure about Anne Hathaway - i think she is maybe better suited to serious roles. I liked the movie overall, but it trailed off a bit at the end, when you just want them to do what you know they are going to do already. Good idea though.

James Franco made the movie. Its a COMPLETLEY different role than what i'm used to him in but he was hilarious. Danny McBride and Craig Robinson also added some great comedic value. If you expect to be a really good with a great story line your going to be let down, but if your in the mood for a few good laughs definatley give it a go.

When you first watch it all you are left with is what the hell?? After a little bit of thinking and some internet research, its all explained. You'll have to make your own conclusions there. It was alright. After such a long journey you hope for a more powerful ending. Its the kind of movie you have to watch over and over again to fully comprehend. So if you have the time go for it.

Pretty funny movie. If you like Will Ferrell movies you'll love Blades Of Glory. Will Arnett and Amy Poehler add another bunch of hilarity, especially if your aware that in reality they are married!! Just a good comedy to watch, even though the very ending is soooooo ridiculous.

Best ever movie. All time favourite.

It was alright. Its got some pretty good action but overall its really quite corny. Some good lines thoughout the movie though. I will watch the second one.

I love Robert Downey Junior. I love comic books and I love IRON MAN. A whole bunch of factors come together to make a really great movie. I love the values shown. I love all the technology. It is a real eye opener having a super hero fight major crime and conspiracy around the world. Not just petty domestic crimes. Terrence Howard adds another great dyanmic. Just love him. The only critisisms i have to make is that some parts of the movie are too dark and it makes it very hard to see what is happening and that the Pepper Potts character needed a stronger, more assertive actress.

I just adore Disney movies, this would have gotten a 5 from me if it didnt trail off so much at the end. I love the encorporation of all other Disney tales and it reminded me how long its been since i watched a real Disney cartoon! Great cast and very fun.

WOW. What an awful awful awful follow up to a great movie. Dont continue introducing characters and not explain who they are. Dont rely soley on the first film to get the second to have any kind of substance. Actually write down your ideas so you dont keep screwing them over throughout the rest of the movie. Horrible. Contridictory. If you like Underworld. Dont ruin it by watching this.

You would be right to say there is not much substance to St Trinians, but if you love English humour you will have a quite a few laughs. Colin Firth was great also!

It was so much funnier than I thought it wold be. Steve Carrell was a perfect Maxwell Smart! The chief was my highlight, he had so many funny lines. Loved it!

It was a real let down. I am a big fan of the vampire movie genre. But even for that it was too far feyched. I like consistency. Not when screen writers pull some crap out so they can end the movie how i want. The very ending was actually nice tho.

Wow. What an eye opener! One of those 'I think I'm going to be sick' eye openers. But a seriously out there movie. It really touched me. Not to mention Ellen Burstyn - AMAZING.

WOW. Absolutely magical. I fell in love with this new age fairytale. Whoever created this masterpiece has an amazing imagination. Thank you so much. Stardust also had a fantastic cast. Its a new favourite!

Horrible. It made no sense. Don't jump back and forwards through a timeline if your just going to leave the story unfinished. Hopeless Aussie drama.

Loved this film. There has to be a sequel!! The effects were great and the four boys were AMAZING! Tell your friends to watch this one!

Not a great representation of the book. The novel has some kind of depth to it. But I suppose i shouldn't have expected much from something made for a MTV audience. Better luck next time.

Good to see Meg Ryan back. I've never really seen her in a movie where she isn't some kind of sex symbol. It was a nice change. I liked the movie, but I think it focused on too many people and somethings could have been explained further. Adom Brody was really good also, never seen him so serious. It was hard not to fall in love with Carter. Really not a bad movie.

I've come across some weird mother daughter relationships, but none beat this one. I really liked the two sisters, although they too had some very screwed values. I normally love Mandy Moore's sweet, innocent character among who Milly is not. Milly, the protagonist, is a horrible, self centered, untrustworthy human meaning. I hated her. John, played by an actor i regrettably cannot name, was fantastic though. But I just didn't fully understand the movie and am not really sure I wanted to.

I liked this movie waaaaaaaaaay more than I thought I would. It wasn't one of those totally predictable movies where you were just waiting for it all to happen already, which is what i expected. I really liked the cast as well. Nice and new faces.

You can't help but adore Jason Segel and his gang. Not to mention Mila Kunis like I've never seen her before. She was a show stopper. Some hilarious calls dotted all over the place but had its predictable moments as well.

Wow. I thought Ben Stiller was better than this. Absolutely hated it. Horrible characters. Horrible story. I cannot even cunt how many people left the cinema before the movie was even half way.

I really liked the idea, but it was portrayed weakly. Your average teen slasher film. Nothing to write home about. Although I did like most of the actors. A very fresh cast.

Really gave you insight into Bruce Wayne and the Batman legacy, with a great cast. Little iffy on the accents thought.

I could really relate to it! Scarily so actually!! It was very funny in parts, but also heavy hearted in some. Over all a good movie and different to what you would normally expect. Loved Jennifer Anniston too.

Loved it!! Absolutely hilarious. Every single character added their own little something to the film. Seth Rogan is a genius. One to watch over and over!

Very Gus Van Sant. Yet another distressing movie that i hated but my partner loved. Only thing i liked about it was that it made me really think about my supposedly small inconsequential actions.

If you like british humour, you'll love death at a funeral. Definatly not what I expected but just as entertaining as I'd hoped! Was able to watch it with the whole family, kids, parent and grandmother. All were laughing!

Great acting on LeBeouf's part. His part was so realistic and endearing. From the second minute in I was hooked. It wasn't one of those movies that trailed off or went through slow patches. It kept me interested every second. My partner was on the edge of his seat tho whole time, literally. True thriller.

Began great but really trailed off. It went from being captivating to ridiculous. The end it really blew it for me. Really didn't understand the concept or how it got there. Still love Jim Carrey.

Hated it. Nothing i saw on the trailers reflected what I put myself through watching it. John Travolta was its only saving grace.

Mark Wahlberg at his finest. Action packed and very thorough. If you love an invincible character you will adore the protagonist! Only critisim was that the ending may leave a little more desired by some!

If you want a movie to test your morals, i would recommend this. I have never been so uncomfortable watching a movie before! State's Evidence does explore things i have barely contempated before but i think it ends before you get a true explanation. Strangely my partner loved the film, but it was just too destressing for me.
