Had the potential

by burnhill on Oct 25th 18:33

I had been waiting for this since last spring and I sure did have high expectations for the movie, Cage and plot. Unfortunately I had set my bar way too high and was slightly disappointed for what I saw although the package was quite entertaining and had the potential.

First of all I must say that it doesn't take much to gain my attention. Cage and sniper in this particular case did the job. The ...

How very odd

by Sirpa on Oct 9th 07:54

I was stunned that you could actually make something like this in 1968. Visually this must be Kubrick's best film ever! Steven Spielberg once said that he's never met anyone who didn't want to watch a Kubrick film again after seeing it the first time. This is so very true. His films are so full of amazing details that it's impossible to get them all at the same time ...

3D experience

by mouseman on Oct 9th 02:00

I watched this movie in 3D in Finnkino's newest theatre, Flamingo. I didn't know what to expect but it was all very entertaining.

The movie was a good family adventure with a few twists. Brendan Fraser did okay and some of the scenery were breathtakingly beautiful in 3D ...

Definitely watch it, not maybe!

by colsy on Sep 24th 14:56

Overall this is a very good romantic comedy. The acting is good, the storyline is intriguing and in the end the movie takes you where you want to go, which I think is very important in movies.

It starts off with Ryan Reynolds character Will Hayes sitting at his office and getting a letter which says he is getting divorced. He then leaves the office and whilst he is walking through the streets of New ...

Just gotta love Stanley Kubrick

by Sirpa on Sep 18th 11:38

I have liked every Kubrick film that I've seen so far and I intend to see all his films. He's truly an amazing artist and he's greatly missed. All the Kubrick films I've seen so far have been completely different too, although they all have some typical "Kubrickal" elements.

The plot in Barry Lyndon was not very interesting at all. I think that's just one of Kubricks peculiarities: the film can be very good ...

There should have been only one!

by colsy on Sep 17th 16:02

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I say that after having just watched it for about the tenth time. I loved it when I first saw it in the early nineties and still enjoy watching it as much today. It is what I would describe as a 'popcorn' movie. It is not a real intellectual thriller which demands your full attention in order to keep up with the complex characters or complicated twisting plots ...

A great movie but not to everyones taste

by colsy on Sep 16th 14:12

The main reason I was looking forward to seeing this movie is because Daniel Day-Lewis is in it, and he doesn't disappoint. He plays the role of Daniel Plainview and his life revolves around oil.

I will not go into great detail and write all about the plot and the characters and the storyline because I think it is best not to know all these things before you see a movie and to discover them ...

History Disney Style

by mouseman on Sep 8th 01:12

National Treasure is an adventure movie for the whole family. Using some of the myths in history, like the knights templar treasure and freemasons, it creates an interesting plot that feels much more real than those of Indiana Jones movies, for example.

There isn't much fiction in the movie - it creates a "this could be true" feeling using something what we don't know for certain, not by rewriting the history. It felt like a ...

Definitely Tim Burton

by mouseman on Sep 2nd 02:09

I've been fond of the Tim Burton/Johny Depp combo since Edward Scissorhands. Working together for nearly two decades they have created their own distinct genre. The friends of that gothic, yet light-hearted genre will be right at home watching Johny Depp as The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The movie is set in the 19th Century London, a city living all the consequences of the Industrial revolution - wealth, poverty, overpopulation and pollution, to name ...

Lon Chaney and Harrison Ford in a Thoughtful and Heartwarming Christian Story

by Harri on Aug 22nd 03:10

A great part of the thematic content of Shadows, at least at the outset, appears much too Victorian for the film to be exceptionally good as a 1922 feature, let alone survive more than viewable into 21st century. What makes the film longevous, in the end, is its sufficiently profound ethical crux. Good performances help.

This time chameleon Lon Chaney portrays a wise and humble Chinaman (I will argue that the character is indeed not ...
