What a waste of time. They spent so much money to make such a miserable movie. Overboard with special effects that did nothing really for the movie. The English dubbing was horrible and just ruined the movie. Perhaps I should have watched it in Russian. I only could hold out for about 15 min before taking the dvd out of the player. Ick, Ick, Ick.

Road to Nowhere This movie was absolutely deplorable. Sure no sex or swearing but it paled in comparison to the original Road Warrior and Mad Max. Where was the dog and Gyro Man when you really needed them? The acting, if you can call it acting was limited to 10 word utterances. Hardy was god-awful with his Aussie type accent if you can call it that. In fact the accent changed towards the end of the flick. The only redeeming features where Charlize Theron and some of the action sequences. But while it was loaded with action so much of the film was speeded up to supposedly heighten the action which it did not. The plot was so thin as well. All in all a total waste of time of true Mad Max fans.

I did not have great expectations for this movie and I found myself immersed in watching it. It does not just give you boxing but includes a very nice introspective on Manny the person. I really enjoyed it. A HIT in my books!

It has been quite a while since I saw a movie that made me laugh which did not focus on sex or swearing. Sure it is more a kids oriented movie but I really enjoyed some of its silliness. Yes, it was nice to just kick back, relax and view a bit of old type comedy.

This is a very well acted movie about personal motivation and human frailty. However, it is not a Scorsese movie. It is not a war movie. It is not a crime movie. It is not a Showtime or HBO movie either. By this I allude to the excessive use of the F word. The F word does not a movie make and often detracts from an otherwise great movie. Such is the case with Whiplash. Perhaps scriptwriters no not have an overwhelming vocabulary to express themselves appropriately? Nonetheless, Whiplash is a movie worth watching

This and The Grand Budapest Hotel, I believe, were two of the best movies of 2014. Ironically both films were scored by the same composer. Kudos to him. The acting and screenwriting to this movie was impeccable. Great, great, great is all I can say about those aspects of the film. All the actors were superb especially Benedict Cumberbatch who I believe should have won the Academy Award for his performance. I am looking forward to the next season of Sherlock. I also enjoyed the acting and roles played by Mark Strong and Charles Dance. I first came across Dance in The Jewel in the Crown and thought he would go far but alas such was not the case.. As to Mark Strong, what can you say? He is one of the best actors around. The only let down related to Keira Knightley - her over the top accent and that ugly, repulsive hair colour. Why on earth did they give her that shade of hair colour for the movie? It was distracting to me. This movie is great. By all means see it. You will not be let down.

This movie was a supreme letdown. Overly long with dragged out scenes. That It had some good actors is about the only redeeming aspect to it. It should have been cut down by at least 30 minutes. Superfluous scenes reigned supreme in this flick. A total waste of time.

My god, what a piece of junk Hollywood foisted on the general public with this movie. After watching the first 25 minutes of it I realized that I had wasted 30 minutes of my life. The movie should have been titled “The Bird” because it was so awful. Overacting, poor script, and unrealistic dialogue all fitted into the formula for this flick. It was Hollywood’s overindulgence to itself. I am glad Michael Keaton got a chance to star in a movie but his acting was so over the top. And the same applied to Edward Norton, who is a fine actor. I am sure a better movie could have be written about an actor who wanted to transition from Comic Hero to a dramatic actor. But this movie falls so flat on its face it needs nose surgery.

A very nice movie that was a change from what I have been watching. I enjoyed the pace of the movie and the intrigue set in it. The actors were good but the movie could have had someone larger to play the role of the linebacker to make it more credible. I do not know if the back room activities were realistic or not but I enjoyed them and Costner’s wheeling and dealing. If you want to watch a good movie without sex or violence that keeps your attention and has a good ending by all means see Draft Day.

From the get go this movie was a dud - there were no characters you would like, the main character was a jerk who deserved no sympathy, too much gratuitous violence and bad acting, particularly Samuel Jackson. I stopped watching the movie with 45 min left. I could not care what happened. Do not waste your time.

I liked the first Thor but this one was a total failure. The plot to this movie is as thin as an 80 Yr Old Pair of Underwear that has been worn by a homeless dude for the past quarter century. I mean thin. The beginning was difficult to understand. I even attempted to use closed captioning to get the drift of the beginning. The only redeeming features of the movie were Loki and the two subcharacters who worked for Jane Foster. It sounded like Chris Hemsworth just graduated from Woolloomooloo Grammar given his thick Aussie accent (which was not as pronounced in the first movie).

My god this was a horrible flick. It mainly consisted of beautiful filming, heavy breathing, and a dumb as a sponge character. Dr Stone keeps on blithering “I am running out of oxygen” but she just babbles, fidgets and keeps babbling instead of just relaxing and breathing slowly as an astronaut would be trained to do This character was a joke. She could not get out of a public toilet cubicle if she locked herself in it. The only redeeming character was Matt Kowalski but then there were really only two characters in the movie. I should have just watched Vanishing Point again
