The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
Need to stop people from reviewing
Another movie that I really enjoyed but had so many bad reviews. If the movie is not for you then don't watch or comment to try to put others off. You know what the movie is going to be about if it is not for you, then fine but don't put people off that might like this movie. I am sure that any movie you recommend I will hate as I am not so eager to become a film critic. For the posers on this site if you say no then I will definitely watch. We all have different tastes, if a movie is not for you then move on, we don't want a biased opinion.
American Hustle (2013)
Great Acting - Terrible Movie.
Just saw this tonight on New Years Eve here in Brisbane Australia. I saw where one reviewer said they considered leaving after 45 minutes. If I had not been with friends I would have left after half an hour. As it was (to my envy) some people actually left around the hour mark. I only went to see this because of Oscar talk and reviews. The acting was brilliant, but let down by a slow moving, uninspiring story line with very little plots or twists. In fact I felt some overacting from the cast in trying to save this movie. My friends also felt very disappointed after hearing the hype. No way is this movie Oscar worthy but as an actor Jennifer Lawrence could get a nod.
Got to Dance (2009)
Terrific Dance Show
Why do people like the last reviewer post negative views on shows that that are of no interest to them. There are a lot of people that love dance shows and the human interest story's of the contestants. Look at the success of "Dancing with the Stars" worldwide. I am an ex professional Ballroom dancer and teacher so know something about dance. Would I write a review on that show either US or OZ, NO because I can't stand watching Judges and some Professional teachers that don't have a clue so I don't watch the show. Should I spoil it for the millions who love that show. No way, I will keep my opinion to my self. Now Got To Dance features so many dance styles its impossible to judge apples with apples. So as in all dance competitions it is in the eyes of the beholder. The judges are wonderful. Ashley, Kimberley, Adam and now Aston offer the contestants advice and offer support and enthusiasm you couldn't pay for. Although I don't always agree with the vote in results, many a career will be forged from this show. If you want 5th rate dancing because of c level celebrities judged by people who have never had to train someone from scratch to a solo competition performance. Then Dancing with the Stars is for you. Reality Heaven. But if you want to watch a Dsnce show with so many diverse styles and such an array of talent with judges who really care Go to Dance wins hands down. Before writing this review I just watched the last semi final on Got To Dance season 4 (We are somewhat behind in Australia) The talent on display wasincredible and my hands are still sore from clapping.
The Expendables 2 (2012)
Action At Its Best
Please all you haters. You knew what the movie was going to be. Why bother to go see it and then post a negative review here. I have a poser friend who went to the movies last Saturday, bypassed all the blockbusters to watch a small time Brit flick with a total of 6 people in the room. Please review a film with an open mind. Expendables 2 for an Oscar, I think not. But for a couple of hours of first class entertainment from the action stars we have followed for years, YES YES YES. I could't wait for the first, I loved the second and of course am awaiting the third with baiting breath. Half the fun is just to see who will be in it. This second installment is better than the first and Van Damme makes a terrific villain. If you like action films and love seeing all these icons on one screen, then this is it. If of course you are a poser and only watch films that you do not understand and are recommended by the "experts" enjoy your movie with the 6 other people but please do not badly preview a film that is not your genre and spoil it for true fans. This movie has 400 reviews and I know what most say.
I Give It a Year (2013)
Great movie, terrific British humour
After reading some of the reviews I was not sure what to expect. I found a movie that was better than expected. Myself and the whole theatre were laughing out loud throughout. Some of the reviewers just love to read their own writing and some of us don't want every movie to be "Lincoln". We just want a good old fashioned, don't think too much movie that makes us laugh. If you like American slapstick humour this is not it. It is terrific British humour at its best. If you liked "Something about Mary" you will love this. I just got back an hour ago and am still laughing. Watch the trailer, if you like it then go see the movie. Unlike many films where the best bits are in the trailer and thats it, the trailer just serves as an appetizer. If you are a prude don't go. If you are like the rest of us and want a good night out go see it. Don't be put off by reviewers who wouldn't know funny if they sat on it.
