Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)
impressive and entertaining
This movie was an excellent adventure movie that has a comedy tone throughout. People were the secondary or subplot behind the animals. The main human stars Piper Perabo and Jamie Lee Curtis were both awesome in pulling off their roles and excellent to look at. They were surpassed only by the large list of stars lending voices to this movie. I have seen this movie 3 times now. Once in the theater with 1 grandchild (age 5), who loved it. The second time at the house on DVD with 6 family members aged 5 to 65 and everyone loved it. The last time the grandkids played the movie one morning on their own. When that happens then I know a movie has entertainment value. Now I may recognize the actors lending voices to the animals, but I don't believe my 5 or 6 year old grandchildren do. This means they are more entertained by the movie itself and they even at times pulled for the star chihuahua named Chloea (Drew Barrymore) a few times.
I rate this movie a strong 8 because of its entertaining value. It also isn't just a children's movie. My teen Gchildren watched and enjoyed it. Not every movie has to have an explosion and gunfire every 5 seconds. Not every movie needs a monster exploding out of someones belly. Not every movie needs a man with a hatchet, chainsaw, or machete. This movie has a cute story of a dog and its owner separated and the quest to reunite.
InSearchOf (2009)
WOW, WOW, and WOW
While nothing is perfect this one is a 9 by all means. Yes the acting was good, direction was good, the script was outstanding, and they all combine for a gut wrenching look at how we are in society with sex. My hats off to the cast and entire crew for making this movie.
I have an issue with the film. One womanizer with aids knowingly had sex to pass it on nonchalantly to his wife and others. This to me is murder and premeditated, but the film did not address this issue in any way. The doctor who brought it out failed to take any action also making him just as guilty. Cheating, is rampant in the film but so it is in life and this movie makes you see the damage and other issues it creates. This movie makes you think think think! THATS A GOOD THING. This is a must see film for all as its content is a very important issue around the world. The film does not make any attempts to choose sides but more responsibly show cause and affect; to achieve effect. BRAVO!
Backwoods 2: The Revenge of Caleb (2007)
worth watching
This was like Deliverence meets a Woody Allen love problem movie and the two fight each other for the lead. The movie has a great horror mystique within it. At the same time it has several moral issues brought forth in what do you do if___??? Here a young girl is found locked in a room. What do you do? More so; What do you do when people come looking for you? Then the Woody version kicks in and all of a sudden your asked to care about the problems the 2 main couples are having in their relationships. As if PMS is a big concern when your in the woods being chased by backwoods creatures who are sex starved. All this said I must say the movie kept me interested even if it was more so for the deliverance side. There was a bit of suspense, some thrills, and some good acting from the lead and supporting cast. After all playing a dumb backwoods inbred hillbilly isn't easy.
In the Bedroom (2001)
to long a movie for what is contained in it.
Someone from Taipei really confused me with his input on this film so I had to see it. Now I know his input was worse then the movie. Hey its a kid playing with a married woman. If you go with him being to young to know better (Hes college age), the wife most certainly should have. Now what happens in movies like these is pretty much common knowledge; BUT: watch out there are some twists here to the norm. The twists add to the movie but cant save it. The problem is the cast did a good job but the director took way to long to tell the story which could have been done in half the time. At 2 hours I probably would have given this movie 7 maybe 8 stars.
