Ghosts Of............ Yawn!!!

Advantages: One or two funny bits
Disadvantages: Trite, predictable, dull, poor delivery, lack of depth

...it rarely works and the Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past is no exception to the rule. Rather like this review it’s a poorly pieced together piece of filmmaking that is saved in some levels by some fairly amusing scenes. As an overall structure however it’s a fairly bleak offering, with characters particularly with Connor that you don’t care about. The character of Jenny played by the lovely Jennifer Garner is incredibly one dimensional, and despite the ...
...into an early grave. The Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past will not be enjoyed in years to come, and if you’re very lucky and close your eyes you might miss its passing completely. If you do enjoy this movie then I guess there is a strong chance you never saw the original Scrooge adaptations, for best results read Dickens book.

Review of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Blu-ray)

Not what I expected

Advantages: Not bad video quality
Disadvantages: Not very good sound.

movie- I am not a Zack Efron fan and I went into this movie with low expectations but I must say that this movie exceed my expectations. The plot is fantasy based reality and it fits well. The acting while not Oscar worthy is well done. There are a lot of sub plots and stories within this film that adds to its charm. I can compare aspects of this film to 13 going on 30 and back to the future. I was not annoyed by what I thought would be a a high ...
...funny, touching, and interesting moments. I highly recommend this film even for guys like me who dont usually like films like this. Video- is good, the outdoor scenes are nice and there is alot of clarity with little or no grain Audio- sound is good but this isnt the type of movie that gets a great audio support. ...

The ugly truth-teenagers will love this!

Advantages: Very funny,Gerard Butler-Katherine Heigl
Disadvantages: Can get cliche at times

...one of its attractions anmd the promos looked extremely fun!So how did it fare?Did it live upto my expectations and entertain me? Read on... Basic plot~ Abby is a Tv show producer and is facing a slight dip in her daily shows when her boss announces that the tv network is bringing in a new presenter(Mike) to boost its ratings.Mike is a brash kind of a guy who speaks his mind and is out to prove that men only want one thing from women in a relationship.He ...
...in the process grows feelings for her. What to watch out for~ The dialogues are top notch here,they are simply witty!The fresh couple does exude a lot of confidence and flair for comedy and that sets up the film.It is the continuous playful nature of Gerard's character that keeps the film floating and Heigl does a commendable job at playing her role which demanded a subtle vulnerability. Drawbacks~ Another romantic comedy which tends to get cliche ...

Revenge Of The Child Snacker

Advantages: Great humoured movie
Disadvantages: Incredibly predictable.

...in your movie, but since the acclaimed movie Crash she has been hard to spot. Returning to the screen in her first blockbuster since Crash, Bullock (and possibly a new nose) reclaims her title as the queen of the romcom kicking Jennifer Aniston to the floor. Nobody puts Sandra in the corner! Margaret Tate (Bullock) is the typical embodiment of Cruella De Ville, the Editor of a publishing house she is viewed by the staff as the wicked witch from the ...
...Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) is the exact opposite, never could you meet a more charming man. But Andrews’ big issue is his boss Margaret who he lives in fear of, but tolerates because she is the key to getting his manuscript published. When Margaret’s temporary citizenship in America comes to an abrupt end she must discover a way to keep the job she loves, Andrew is that key. If she marries Andrew then she can remain in the country, and a little ...
