A Museum Piece Destined For Deep Storage

Advantages: Decent family film. Stand out performance by Hank Azaria.
Disadvantages: Humour is hit and miss. Not much of a plot.

...Public Enemy in favour of Night at The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian. I was reluctant, as I had fairly low expectations of the film - despite moderately enjoying the first one – as it didn’t seem a likely candidate for a successful sequel (ironic given my “winning” choice was “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”). SYNOPSIS The film takes place two years after the original, with former night guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) now a successful but workaholic ...
...dark flashlights, oversized dog bones and un-losable key chains – all of which have a connection to his exploits in the original film) on a television shopping channel. However, his old friends – the many and varied exhibits back at the Museum of Natural History in New York where he worked – are facing an uncertain future after the museum is closed for renovations. Some are being shipped off to the Smithsonian for permanent storage in the underground ...

...he will meet three other ghosts tonight and his life will change. He really meets the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Present and Future. Can Connor change? My opinion --------------- I know it is a shame but I admit that I haven’t read Dickens’ Christmas Carol before. Despite this fact I say that the story was predictable. I loved it as there were some twists in it and there were funny and tear jerker plots as well which kept me engaged from the beginning ...

The Proposal - Yet another Romatic Comedy

Advantages: Good to watch, a feel good film
Disadvantages: Nothing we haven't seen before

I started watching The Proposal in the mind set of a very straight forward Romantic Comedy that you’ve a hundred times before, and this film although starting off kinda different, eventually edged into the typically Romantic Comedy bit and you could predict the ending and what is going to happen from that point on. Although I’ve got to say that I am not really use to seeing actresses like Sandra Bullock in such films, it may just be that I don’t ...
...I know she is like the princess of Romantic files (after Julia Roberts, in my view anyway), but this film is something new. Summary Now the film starts of in quite a unique way, as all Romantic Comedies tend too. Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) is the assistant to an amusingly picky and demanding Margret Tate (Sandra Bullock), who has quite an important and well paid job (I forget what) in publishing and Andrew has to fulfil all her demands. ...

Review of The Proposal

IT'S PRETTIER THAN YOU'D THINK . . .

Advantages: very good performances, particularly from the leads; really funny; interesting
Disadvantages: a tad predictable

...have to be two people. The saint and the sinner. The librarian and the stripper. " It seems every week there's another chick-flick out at the cinema just waiting to pull us suckers in. I don';t know why I sound so cynical - anyone who KNOWS me knows that I am a massive chick-flick fan. Perhaps I'm trying to look at it from the view of someone who DOESN';T care all that much about girly films. There DOES seem to be a distinct pattern when it comes ...
...even when you ARE enjoying the main feature, you can't help but feel that the film was created using some sort of Fisher Price "My First Chick-Flick" toy. "The Ugly Truth" embodies one of the classic romantic themes - the love-hate relationship. "Oh yeah, here we go again!" you're thinking as you roll your eyes. But stop. Pay attention. Here's the important thing. It's still highly entertaining. The film is set primarily on the set of an early morning ...

Review of The Ugly Truth (DVD)

"Couples Retreat" is perfect for a day out!

Advantages: You will have a good laugh
Disadvantages: Story is simple

...to the director of the Couples Retreat for getting the best actors for these roles - perfect match! It couldn't be better! From my point of view, the ending could be more fun but as a whole movie was great you can forgive a small part of sentimentality. I would like to recommend this movie to everyone as a good comedy! SHORT STORY Four couples went to the tropical island called EDEN, which practicing in the couples retreats and fun. They all appeared ...
...treat part when EDEN EAST was the fun part. One couple is at the island for a therapy when the other three are there to have some fun but unfortunately - they are at the EDEN WEST! Now they will have to go through the couple's therapies, face the truth of their relationships and have many funny situations. ...
