The story is about a couple rents out a room to a mysterious young man, who may or may not be guilty of a series of grisly neighborhood murders. Based on same book used for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 thriller “The Lodger”.

Malcolm Slaight arrives at the home of Joe and Ellen Bunting. Ellen is happy to make a little extra money, but also becomes enamored by the charm and eccentricities of this mysterious Lodger. Meanwhile, police detective Chandler Manning begins to track a ruthless killer slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. This killer's methods are identical to that of London's infamous psychopath, Jack the Ripper. This is especially troublesome for Manning because earlier in his career he brought a killer to justice who also mimicked Jack the Ripper. Closing in on the killer, Manning finds himself following a trail that leads to a secluded residence located just off the Sunset Strip--right near the Bunting home.

NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is the wild, untold story of “OZPLOITATION” movies - a time when Australian cinema got its gear off and showed the world a full-frontal explosion of sex, violence, horror and foot-to-the-floor, full bore action! Jam packed full of outrageous anecdotes, lessons in maverick filmmaking and a genuine, infectious love of Australian movies, NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is a fast moving journey through Aussie genre cinema of the 70s and early 80s - an unjustly forgotten cinematic era unashamedly packed full of boobs, pubes, tubes… and even a little kung fu.

The resourceful kids stumble upon an abandoned hotel and using Bruce's talents as a mechanical genius, transform it into a magical dog-paradise for Friday--and eventually for all Friday's friends. When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to avoid anyone discovering "who let the dogs in."

This was a great family movie. This is a must see for anyone who has a dog. A movie made for the amusement of kids and a Saturday matinees and not a movie with adult humor disguised as a kid film. Was it deep in content? No. Was it fun and amusing? Absolutely. Made us feel like we should adopt a dog and/or a kid at the end.

bring your kids and family. Watch this movie, especially if you really love dogs.

Part 2 of 2

The story revolves around three soldiers, Cheever (Tim Robbins), Colee (Rachel McAdams), a naive private who's pinned her hopes on connecting with a dead fellow soldier's family, because she has lost all ties to her own, and TK (Michael Peña) when they return from the Iraq War after suffering injuries they learn that life has moved on without them. They end up together on an unexpected road trip, with Colee on a mission to bring her boyfriend's guitar back to his family because he saved her life, and she hopes to live with them. TK seeking confidence to face his wife after a shrapnel injury that threatens his sexual function decides that he must first see prostitutes to find out if he can still be the husband he wants to be for his wife, and middle-aged Cheever planning to return to a wife who unknown to him is looking to get a divorce and to a son who is in need of twenty grand to go to college. But when an unexpected blackout cancels all flights out of New York, they are forced to make their way to their destinations together. Cheever agrees to share the cost of a rental car for the drive to Pittsburgh with the two similarly stranded servicemen, TK and Colee. After Cheever finds out his wife is looking to divorce him he decides to go to vegas with his fellow travelers. This is a last ditch desperate effort to pay for his son's college tuition. What begins as a short trip unexpectedly evolves into a longer journey. Forced to grapple with old relationships, broken hopes and a country divided over the war, TK, Cheever and Colee discover that home is not quite what they remembered, and that the unlikely companionship they've found might be what matters the most.

This seems like a film that's made for the obvious ups and downs throughout but it actually manages to be quite original and refreshing. Instead of feeling like a film that's just about resolving the individual situations, it's a lot more carefree and a lot more about these three individual people simply enjoying life together and keeping one another upbeat. Of course there are many different stops on the way to their ultimate destinations in order to give us some situations of them interacting in the real world, but each one is a lot of fun and we gain a little more depth to the characters at each stop. All of the characters are well-fleshed out and don't feel like just another retread of stereotypes we've seen over and over again. And all the way through we are treated to three strong performances from three solid actors. The real star is Rachel McAdams, though, she keeps the laughs coming all the way through and steals just about every single scene with her bright eyes and southern drawl, but you can tell that there is real emotion brimming just under the surface. She's a girl who has every reason to hate life with a fury, but she remains optimistic and tries to get those around her to enjoy living just as much as she does. One scene in particular, when she finally meets the family of her fallen friend, is a showcase for what an extraordinary actress she is, and is definitely one of the best performances of the year. The Lucky Ones is a refreshing and very well-acted story. I give The Lucky Ones a 3 and on my avoidance scale a very big 0, go see this wonderful film.

The life of a woman is transformed after she is diagnosed with a terminal disease, fired from her job and abandoned by her boyfriend. Given two months to live, she throws caution to the wind to pursue her dreams.

This film has so many layers and so much integrity. I enjoyed the story, the cast was perfect and all the details that went into making this film was fabulous. I was impressed that the character Miss Burrows played had to have the finest that New York's Underground A list have to offer. Gusto restaurant, Oly furnishings, Catherine Angiel's jewelry. All very authentic to NYC.

If I were diagnosed with a terminal illness, I would have done the same, except I think I would still recycle :)

Don't want to give up the story, so the bottom line is... very cool flick, two thumbs up!

Two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day.

Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates--they're now to be married on the same date!--Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war.

When I saw the commercials, this movie was a must-see for me. So I went and saw it, it lived up to all of my expectations. I found it funny, interesting and the characters were all well-rounded. I love Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudsen and I think they did a great job. I think that out of all of the many chic-flics I have seen this was definately one of my favorite. I really liked it.

Alan Cumming stars in his own directorial follow-up to THE ANNIVERSARY PARTY. GHOST WRITER is an odd, dark horror-comedy hybrid about John, a struggling writer who is continually taken advantage of due to his soft spot for talented young men. When he realizes that Sebastian (David Boreanaz) is no different from the rest, John forces him work off his rent debt. This leads to the inadvertent death of Sebastian, who leaves in his wake a brilliant, unpublished piece of writing. A guilty John vows to get the book published as a sort of apology, but he can't help but take credit for the work when it becomes a hit. Sebastian may just have to come back from the dead to have a few words with his former mentor. GHOST WRITER co-stars Anne Heche, Henry Thomas, Carrie Fisher, Jane Lynch, and Karen Black.

There’s no such thing as going too far for John (Alan Cumming, X-Men 2, “Tin Man”), a control-freak music teacher obsessed with his handsome lodger Sebastian (David Boreanaz, “Bones”), an aspiring author. When Sebastian threatens to leave, John is driven to punish the writer - with shocking results. Then, after a literary agent (Anne Heche, “Men in Trees”) comes calling, John hatches a plot to find the fame and fortune he craves. An intense and over-the-top thriller, Ghost Writer will leave you at a loss for words.

Part 2 of 2

The story of California’s first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk, a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated along with Mayor George Moscone by San Francisco Supervisor Dan White.

“Milk” is a love song film to Harvey Milk and his legacy as a Gay Rights Activist. Harvey Milk’s tireless efforts to give the gay community a voice in America and alter the way Americans see our gay brother and sister is soulfully captured. “Milk” gives reality to the idea that a single voice, no matter the life, can change a nation if you have truth on your side. Harvey Milk, used his voice, the voice for survival and fairness to those oppressed in this great nation. Like Martin Luther King Jr., Harvey Milk had charisma and placed his life on the sacrificial Altar of inclusion so others may live their lives to the fullest.

“Milk” is indefatigable while peering into the heart of Harvey Milk’s life and final years living in San Francisco, 1970 to 1978, where his activism leads to a political career (he was known as The Mayor of Castro Street ) and the maintenance of equal rights legislation in the US. Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office and after serving for approximately one year was assassinated by a fellow councilman (Board of Supervisors in California) bringing to a sudden and sad close to a promising career and powerful voice for human rights in America.

“Milk” opens showing newspaper clipping headlines of anti gay sentiment in the nation and the regular and constant rousting of gay men by police from known gay hangouts in cities and towns all across in the US. Director Gus Van Sant introduces us to Harvey Milk at his kitchen table speaking into a microphone taping himself saying for posterity, (I paraphrase here), “…this tape should be played upon my death should I be assassinated”. Van Sant returns often to Mr. Milk sitting at his kitchen table recording high points in his life as a well placed narration throughout the film.

Van Sant and writer Dustin Lance Black reflect upon the Religious Right attacks on gays in the work place with footage of anti gay rights activist/singer Anita Bryant, crusading across America giving speeches of hate glorified by her beliefs in God. When we compare those views from the 70’s to today, it is remarkable how far we’ve come as a nation and the distance we have yet to travel in our universal perspective of our children and neighbors.

Casey Beldon hated her mother for abandoning her as a child. But when inexplicable events begin to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only person, Rabbi Sendak, who can make it stop. With the help of Sendak, her best friend Romy and boyfriend Mark, Casey uncovers the source of a family curse dating back to Nazi Germany--a creature with the ability to inhabit anyone or anything that is getting stronger with each possession. With the curse unleashed, her only chance at survival is to shut a doorway from beyond our world that has been pried open by someone who was never born.

I enjoyed the film. The experience was not too good, but the movie itself was decent. I actually thought that the acting was good, had some balls to make a film like that. I find this film to be a bit of a cult film, since it is directed to the J-Horror audience. If you liked films like The Ring or The Grudge, or Ringu, or Ju-On, you should enjoy this flick. This isn't one that you will jump out of your seat, but you will for sure be creeped out. There were some pretty creepy effects with interesting and well thought out camera shots. I don't care what anybody says, I liked this movie.

First off, the bad news. Yes some of the acting is cheesy. Yes the budget was low and it showed up in a few places. The dialogue was stiff which made the actors look even more awkward. The beginning went by a little too fast, and Caleb's agreement to do the dare was not quite convincing.

But once you get over that hump, the story picks up and you get sucked in. The writers worked hard to give us unexpected twists, lots of comedy relief, and suspense as to whether it will work. Every time you think Caleb is making progress, you hold your breath to see how Catherine will respond. Her friends are on the sidelines encouraging her to go on with divorce even as Caleb tries desperately to get her attention. As crazy as it sounds, you really start to worry that they won't stay together.

Another positive point is that the film is more than just the marriage between Caleb and Catherine. Lots of side stories intertwine to give it all texture. Every detail, from the sleazy doctor to the gossipy nurses to the fire station boys, add up to a whole picture that make the characters feel more like three dimensional people. The train scene and the burning house added a perfect amount of excitement.

But do be mindful that it *is* a Christian film. The gospel is included through Caleb's trust in his dad and plays a big part in his conversion back to loving Catherine.

Overall, it held my attention for the whole two hours and jerked at my heart strings several times. Their problems were realistic and believable, and most importantly, the problems weren't solved with a snap of a finger. Good, compelling, sympathetic story that found clever ways to keep the suspense. Well done.

Tells of the Polish officers who were murdered near Katyn by the Soviet secret service NKWD in the spring of 1940. It is also the story of their relatives, many of whom waited for years for the return of their husbands, fathers, sons or brothers. After the invasion of the German Armed Forces on September 1, 1939, and the occupation of east Poland a few weeks later by the Red Army as a result of the Hitler-Stalin pact, all officers of the Polish Army--including reservists, police officers and intellectuals--were taken into Soviet custody.

If you are expecting this to be some kind of war movie, well you'll be disappointed. There are no combat scenes between the great powers of that time but the scenes are haunting nevertheless.

This is the story of the families who were victims of the massacre. The story speeds through the Nazi/Soviet occupation of Poland during the first half of the movie, then it the pain slowly unfolds as the victim's story are retold. The mass execution scene is something not to be missed. It is brutal and haunting. Officers of the Polish Army are butchered in a factory line, and you'd expect such brutality from the Nazi army but not the Soviets.

The reality is not many people knew that Hitler and Stalin were in cahoots when both armies invaded Poland together, dividing up the country.

It's one of those better movie, acting is good and the pace, though lagging at some places, will keep you interested right to the end.

Based on actual events, a plot to assassinate Hitler is unfurled during the height of WWII.

The movie really makes me want to read more about Hitler and the circumstances and characters in the movie. It would be fun to read more about it and then watch it again. It was awesome movie. Tom cruise, a new Daniel Craig, a new Bond. He performs best in this movie. He not only shares his action with the audience he attracts their attention. He acts so deep, expressing emotional and physical feelings, making the audience want more.

I want to see this movie again and again. Just one thing i didn't like was that mission Valkyrie didn't assassinate Hitler, but i know that wouldn't be right because in real history it didn't happen. Another thing was, they should of spoke in more German, that's what would of made it more alive, but overall i loved it with the actions and suspense in every corner. It should definitely get an award.

A guy challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.

Jim Carey is the best thing about this movie. Extremely funny at his antics, brilliant genius. I care about his plight, his need to finally get around to saying yes, but the individual sub plots could have been drawn out a little more. His relationship with is Persian wife, for instance, was funny but could have been milked much more. Zooey Deschanel is funny as well and is a perfect foil for Jim, they should work together again. All in all it was a fun ride from start to finish, but there should have been more campy, dangerous fun. Lol, even deviltry, LMAO, if you know what I mean. A little more daring. Lol. Cmon, lose the safety zone, go all out. But, it was good though.

The film follows the story of young teen April whose troubled life began in a dustbin - a new born baby, abandoned and alone, not celebrated, not wanted but discarded and left like so much rubbish in an industrial bin behind a pizza parlour.

It’s a painful journey, sometimes frightening but there’s also friendship and love and laughter. And now she’s started, there’s no going back - April must find her mother.
