Review of Ed Wood DVD by
jamesdean1981
Advantages: Fantastic script, acting, and direction.
Disadvantages: None
...movie about the friendship between Ed and his most famous star, Bela Lugosi. When Ed meets the original screen Dracula early in the film, Lugosi is trying out coffins, a drug addict who is resigned to dying soon. Wood, to whom Lugosi is a hero, fuels him to attempt a comeback, giving Ed a star he thinks is bankable enough to propel him into the major league. Of course, as most people reading this will know, essentially Wood was a failure. He never ... ...the end of the film, Ed meets another hero of his, Orson Welles. Stupefied by the presence of his idol, Ed nevertheless goes across to introduce himself, telling Welles that like him, he directs, and acts – does everything. Does Welles believe him? The viewer is left unsure as to whether he takes the younger man seriously, or is just humouring him. But the legendary filmmaker appears, at least, to agree, and talks to Ed as an equal, and for ...

The Love Guru
Review of The Love Guru DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy
The movie stars Mike Myers and deals with the story of a "Hindu" love guru tasked to save the marriage of a Toronto Mapleleafs hockey player before it eventually ruins the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yes, that's the synopsis of the movie. If you think it sounds shallow and unfunny, well you've hit the nail right on the head.
People who were expecting the kind of gross but ultimately super-funny gags and sequences in Myers' Austin ...

Just Like Heaven
Review of Just Like Heaven DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Good acting
Disadvantages: N/A
Big forehead Reese Witherspoon plays (implausibly) a workaholic doctor who seems to retain her Barbie-like prettiness despite working without sleep. She can't get a date (again, yeah right) and is on her way to visit someone when she gets smacked by a car. Fast forward to sometime later and we meet Mark Ruffalo, who happens to be the new tenant in Witherspoon's apartment. He starts seeing the unknowing ghost of Witherspoon and thus the saccharine-sweet, ...

Just Friends
Review of Just Friends DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Reynolds
Disadvantages: N/A
Just Friends came out in December of 2005 and just barely flew under the radar. It is quite a shame, considering that this movie, more than any other, demonstrates the talent that Ryan Reynolds has at doing what he does best: being a complete jerk. Reynolds has always done his best when in the role of a smug, cocky, and crassly witty anti-hero and this time is no different. Chris Brander (Reynolds) was the fattest kid in high school whose best friend ...

Amelie (2001)
Review of Amelie DVD by
ameriemcatamney
Advantages: Colours and acting
Disadvantages: N/A
Amelie is one of my all time favourite movies. This is one of the best visual movies I have saw. Amelie played by Audrey Tatou. This is a heart warming story of a young french girl who decides to go on a number of missions to bring a little happyness to a number of people. The opening part of the movie is one of my favourite parts as it introduces us to the main characters and shows all their likes and dislikes in a quirky and beautiful way. I never ...
