The Express Its an inspirational movie, based on real life events and people.... In all honesty football movies are not really my thing. But this was a decent movie. kurenaifire788 Sep 25, 2008
The Express A solid movie about a story I was unfamiliar with. It lacked something indefinable that makes a movie great, but still definitely worth seeing. fb602781895 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies While the ending was a little too Hollywood, this movie packs a punch and continues to prove why Ridley Scott is better than all of you. Russell Crowe is a wonderful douchebag in this. fb574707008 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies Action, explosions, an extremely hot looking and excellent performance by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Russell Crowe delivers in this intense film. wgth Aug 31, 2008
Body of Lies This was a well-acted CIA thriller! It shows you the ins and outs of deception and backstabbing. DiCaprio and Crowe make a good team. fb570452716 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine I'm still peeing on myself from this one. I've always liked Jennifer Carpenter on Dexter, and she doesn't disappoint in this, playing a much more vulnerable part. I can't walk down the hallway of my home in the dark anymore. This is frightening. fb563111693 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine Jennifer Carpenter has a bone chilling scream, but it doesn't save this film. A zombie/infection flick with some potential, the best parts are on shown on the previews. wgth Oct 15, 2008
The Express Hollywood would be a better place with more Charles S. Dutton! He was really good in this small role. Dennis Quaid was better in this movie than he's been in previous sports roles. Rob Brown seems like a quality young actor we'll be seeing a lot more of. He had to pretty much carry this movie as it entirely focused on him and didn't make much of the other characters. The casting in this was great as I don't think there was a bad performance at all. He's a great underappreciated football player and it's good they shared his story. I like that they didn't make as big a deal about Jim Brown as I was expecting. This is one of those stories of a great person who gets everything he's worked so hard for, taken from him. If you don't know the story of Ernie Davis or don't know much of the story, I strongly recommend this movie. If you like football and stories of overcoming obstacles to achieve greatness,you'll enjoy this. I think it's worth seeing in the theaters but expect it's more likely a movie most people will wait to see until it's on DVD. fb1072335831 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist You'll enjoy the characters, you'll enjoy this movie but watching it gets kind of dull after a while. The comedy is in the same fashion as juno and the plot is not very driving. At best this movie was cute... I think if you enjoy the music that this movie is somewhat centered around it'll be more in your favor. fb20921914 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist biggest disappointment ever! the absolute only thing i appreciated from this movie was the devendra banhart cameo fb729080330 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist I thought this movie was really cute. What Nick and Norah are doing (searching for their favorite band) is probably something that I would do. It's definitely a movie i can relate to. I love music a LOT (probably die without it) and it was pretty funny too. I think if you like Juno you'll like this. vballplya78 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies DiCaprio was really good in this movie but I'm starting to get angry with Ridley Scott. First in American Gangster he had numerous shots which the boom mic made an appearance, so many times that the boom mic operator should have been listed as a cast member. Now in Body of Lies he is running through scenes of violence, terrorism, war, etc. At one point there's about 20seconds of footage directly from Black Hawk Down, another Ridley Scott movie. Just pure laziness. It was early on in the movie so it totally soured the rest. Russell Crowe gave one of his weakest performances since Virtuosity. Unfortunately DiCaprio's character kept getting screwed by Crowe and it just got more and more stupid as the movie went on. It made it hard to believe that he'd gone through this before on other missions without just bailing or killing Russell Crowe. I really liked Golshifteh Farahani. She was really good and very attractive in a mid level role. She would make a great Bond girl in a future Bond movie and I hope we get to see her more often! This movie would probably be worth watching on DVD! fb1072335831 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist it was the type of night that every girl wants.. spontanious..yet meaningful. and romantic. and i did not have anything to do with h.s i believe. It was more relateable to young adults..ok, so it wasnt.. etc. The movie is WORTH watching...it wasnt cheesy or stupid. I liked..SEE IT!! fb847185651 Oct 15, 2008
An American Carol Some very funny moments, and bits of gratification throughout (ACLU = zombies...priceless), but I was disappointed by the way it was squeezed into a Hollywood "stupid comedy" mold. Because of that, it will end up being a Right-winger's guilty pleasure, rather than the truly good or thought-provoking film it could have been. notatamelion Oct 11, 2008
Body of Lies Its Ridley Scott. I expected better. Much better. That said it has merits. A few cool chases, some good scenes with Leo. fb668968377 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine a screen gems release, the old teevee production company (by which i infer it might've fared better on maybe one of the cable channels), and jam-packed with faces you almost recognise from half a million teevee shows, think blair witch project...only in an apartment building ("ooooooo, that's scary. and just in time for halloween. ka-ching! is it based on a true story...the audience'll eat that alive!" "well, er, no, it isn't. uh, but what if we PRETEND that it is...?"). the only time the damned camera stays still and in focus is for the credits at the end, the only part i didn't want to see. moonrivers Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies A solid modern spy flick that seemed like a cross b/w Spy Games and Syrianna. At the core of the struggle are 2 competing idealogies on how to handle international covert ops. One angle is results oriented and is negligent with respect to collateral damage, while the other focuses on understanding enemy culture and meticulously undermining Islamic jihadists. It certaintly isn't bright and cherry, but gets style points for many elements of realism. Plus I generally enjoy both Crowe's and Dicaprio's performances. fb12805419 Sep 29, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist I loved this film. I'm a big fan of the book and the film does an excellent job re-creating it visually. I'll be seeing this again! fb666735341 Oct 15, 2008
The Express Great Movie! I like movies that allow you leave filling good about life and this is one of those. The challenge live each day to the hilt. I will see this again and will buy the DVD. fb1120795291 Oct 15, 2008
Ashes of Time Redux emotionally wounding, narratively beguiling and visually beautiful. Cinema as poetry - see it while it's on the big screen. fb514963610 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine Overall a good "zombie" movie. There were plenty of jumps to be had. Carpenter's acting was a bit over the top at times. fb546618481 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies starts off good... starts to become tedious at the end of the movie... DiCaprio is fine here but he's just another variation of his same character he played in Departed and Blood Diamond. The love story seems a bit tacked on but overall not a bad film. fb507258624 Oct 15, 2008
The Express Amazing!! I was disgusted by the amount of hatred. Would have loved to see just how good in the NFL he could have been LiftedTundraGuy62891 Oct 15, 2008
The Express A really great look at an incredible human being. Football really takes a back seat to story of all the obstacles Ernie Davis had to overcome just to play a game. There are so many scenes that are tough to watch but serve as a reminder as to the kind of nation we were. This movie is really sad towards the end but very inspiring!!! fb513750633 Sep 18, 2008
Quarantine probably one of the scaries movies ive ever seen. the way they used the scare factor elements was brilliant. The cloverfied/blairwitch shooting style made i allthe more effective. it didnt really explain much but it didnt have to. fb500984073 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine If I got scared at movies, this would probably do it for me. Some tense moments, but a little light on originality. fb1475934863 Sep 19, 2008
Body of Lies Anytime acclaimed director Ridley Scott teams up with A-list actors it’s worth keeping on eye on. Such is the case with Scott’s new film, “Body of Lies”, which has Scott working with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio to tackle the modern espionage and terrorism genre. Based on David Ignatius’ 2007 novel of the same name, “Lies” follows covert CIA operative Roger Ferris (DiCaprio) and his work in Jordan trying to track down known terrorist mastermind Al-Saleem. With the help of stay-at-home boss Ed Hoffman (Crowe), Ferris devises a plan to locate Al-Saleem. Ferris is also assisted by Chief of Jordanian Intelligence Hani Salaam (Mark Strong) who’s cultural differences with Ferris and Hoffman threatens the operation. While the concept behind “Lies” is rather fresh, this spy-game thriller turns up more conventional than remarkable. Don’t get me wrong though, “Lies” is a very interesting, convincing and engaging film with an at least mostly plausible story. Scott’s veteran presence shows off in the film as everything is very polished and technically well done. Being the landmark reaching director Scott has been in the past sets the expectations bar that much higher. “Lies” is not a masterpiece and groundbreaking reworking of the espionage genre much like the films “Blade Runner” and “Alien” revolutionized the science fiction genre more than 25 years ago, but it’s still a solid film. What kept the film a notch above average for me were the great performances by DiCaprio and Crowe. DiCaprio, the true lead in the film, plays the on the rise CIA agent very well. This performance is another sign of his maturation as an actor that has been shown over the past few years. Crowe gives life to what otherwise would be a prototypical military executive slouch of a character. Although the two mostly interact via cell phone I felt their relationship was a strong point for an otherwise average script. It’s not a relationship of stark nature that will make you ponder for days, but it’s an enjoyable one to follow as plans unravel and everything gets laid out on the table. As I mentioned before, “Lies” places more into the conventional field. The main problem for me was that the film never got gritty or deep enough. Sure, there’s violence in the form of explosions, torture, and weapon play in addition to a whole lot of tension filled danger, but not enough for the subject matter. In the end the screenplay by William Monahan doesn’t dig far enough into terrorist activity and only gives a partial look at the behind the scenes of both the CIA and the terrorist groups. The lens seemed primarily focused on DiCaprio and Crowe, which is no problem at all considering their excellent performances, but more might have been achieved by expanding a bit with the rest of the characters. For example, DiCaprio’s love interest Aisha was a cookie cutter version of what she should have been. The character simply comes off as something placed into the film to serve as a plot device. Outside of a few flaws, the film simply works as a whole. “Lies” consistently looks great as Scott’s experience took over and helped the steady shot nature of the film. The inevitable shaky cam syndrome shown in a lot of modern war and action films is kept to the extreme minimum which works wonders for this thriller. In addition to the technical merits, “Lies” is decently paced. Scott provides a good combination of excellent drama, smooth dialogue and intense action scenes. While “Lies” won’t be mentioned much come Oscar season, it’s still a solid entry into the espionage genre. The on-the-ground spy play is very fun to watch and could serve as a good basis for future espionage films. If Monahan’s script had scratched a little deeper more could have been achieved considering the films superb presentation. Regardless, “Body of Lies” is worth your time if you find the genre interesting or simply enjoy watching two actors put forth terrific performances. jets831 Oct 15, 2008
Happy-Go-Lucky This virtually plotless movie craftily seduces you into liking someone (look for Sally Hawkins at the Oscars) who seems like she'd even irritate Robin Williams. fb555006786 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Very cute movie! Alot of true and relatable events of drunken teenagers, and a sweet hook up! Michael Cera is awesome as always...yeah he played a good guy but i like how every good guy he plays is a bit different...this one doesn't mind to speak up his mind and is quite more frustrated. I'd like to see him play a bad guy though..that should be interesting. Love it though! I highly recommend. fb541190669 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist This entry in the Up All Night movie genre is more enjoyable when it's Young Before Sunrise and less when it's Young After Hours (or Superbad 2). fb555006786 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist i love this movie;; it was hilarious;; :D mike cera and kat dennings;; they r so cute togethr;; i love it;; i recomend it; Ashley87431821 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine It would have been better if it wasn't filmed like a home movie.That just drove me crazy because you're not able to keep up with all the people involved,you just saw whatever the dude holding the camera saw and that was alot of blurry running scenes with the floor and his sneakers etc.But,I liked the gory zombie type creatures.It's always fun to see people being chased and eaten!LOL! ELENA86408119 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist It's not you average romantic comedy/ pretentious coming of age film. It actually did something kind of almost somewhat original. its worth seeing if you have an hour or two to spare, yet don't wanna waist. a solid 4 stars, with room to improve. fb578433722 Oct 15, 2008
RocknRolla Guy Ritchie tries to go back to the well (i.e. Lock Stock & Snatch) with this film but it just doesn't flow anything like those two. Some good moments but a shell of former glories. fb734490982 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Congratulations, Juno. I know that this is your doing. This is your bastard child so now it is your duty to destroy it before it destroys this genre of movies. I loved Juno; this was horrible. All the characters sucked ass and the plot wasn't even that good. *heavy sigh fb508042897 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies I can't believe that I nearly waited for this one to come out on the small screen. It was so good, lots of action, full characters and well the Middle East my favourite place. It took me half the film to realise I was watching Leonardo I was that lost in his character. NikolaG Oct 6, 2008
Quarantine okay, so these pointless american remakes of foreign horror are actually starting to annoy me now. This is shot for shot exactly the same as the original [REC] but the high quality cameras/sound etc completely ruin the atmosphere. what's the point? fb722701036 Oct 15, 2008
Kidnap Justifies serious crime! Absolute nonsense to digest. First half builds up expectations. Second half totally shatters all expectations. Sanjay Dutt acts naturally. Imran Khan can't pull off this confused character! fb697688036 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine I thought this movie was awesome. A lot of "holy Sh#%t" moments. Filmed like Blair Witch and Cloverfield which gave it a more realistic feel. If you didn't like those two movies, don't go see this one!! mastercloser318 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine This is the best and freakiest movie you will ever see, alot of blood, action, and thrillzzz. I would see it over and over if i could. skyphoenix798 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Kat Dennings should find another career (as long as it has NOTHING to do with singing) and Michael Cera should stop playing the same role in every damn movie. djdemersseman Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies This was a great action flick. Decap was actually really good as a spy/asshole. It had really gritty action, however, that action is spread out of the length of the movie. If you cant appreciate logic I would not recommend the movie to you. This is definitely a movie you cant go to the bathroom or you will get lost. fb670676281 Oct 15, 2008
Flash of Genius this was a great movie. greg kinnear did a great job drawing you into his character and making what could have been a boring movie into an interesting one with never a dull moment. fb79103598 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine American version of the Spanish movie "REC". Can't wait to see it. I have always liked the american versions better :-)) fb574079921 Oct 15, 2008
Quarantine I saw "[REC]" the other day, but still have yet to see this. I want to see it. I've heard that it's a decent remake, but I still have serious doubts when it comes to American remakes of really good foreign films. PrincessKarikachan19 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies Its not what i expected and maybe i am getting tired of watching movies about terrorist and how terrorist kills people for jihad. This movie will play with your mind and you wont be coming out as the person you went in as. It will keep you thinking. There are lot of talking and lot of action, blasting, killing. As per acting, Leonardo Di Caprio has become one of the best actor. He is amazing and looks more pro than Crowe. Speaking of him, he is ok at his usual him. Nothing new about him. I wouldnt recomment this movie, but if you are fan of them then go for it. fb1064483829 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Had some charm and provided some interesting insight into high school romance, but it pretty much sucked a dick. Cera was funny at times. fb43202110 Oct 15, 2008
Body of Lies This gives a good insight into the world of espionage. I truly liked Leonardo in this role but I think he'll be better in roles that require more action. Definitely a movie worth watching. Is Russel Crowe retiring or what? Don't particularly like his role! ND2000 Oct 15, 2008
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist All that is standard about the film is quickly forgotten when one watches our two leads verbally dance around each other. It's their story and their story alone that make this film so magical and strangely poignant. This definitely hinges on three and three quarter stars. fb585350087 Oct 3, 2008
The Express Solid sports movie about Ernie Davis. I was not that familiar with Davis's story going into this movie. I'm glad they decided to tell his story on film. mcbass34 Oct 15, 2008
