Dean (6927 KP) rated The Green Hornet (2011) in Movies
Jan 22, 2019
This seems to be a real love it or hate it film going by other reviews! Personally I quite enjoyed it and found it a good mix of action and comedy, with a cool car to boot! I do like Seth Rogen's other films and find him funny. There is plenty of fun to be had here along with some cool effects. You'll like it so long as you realise it's more of a comedy than an action film.

Feb 16, 2018
The trailer attracted me to see this a bit like the pretty blue lights in the film, despite the bad reviews. It was far from terrible, but I understand why most people didn't like it. I was hoping for something of a modern take on Independence day. In truth this only feels like one long drawn out segment of an alien invasion film. The SFX are pretty darn good, the cast was ok although hard to picture Donald Faison in anything but Scrubs. Then it ended abruptly in a rather strange way?! Let's hope the sequel feels more like a whole film.

I didn't know much about this film before I saw it but heard critics and fans a like giving great reviews about it. A father and former part of the military police goes in search of his son who has gone AWOL after returning home from Iraq.
This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Crazy Rich Asians (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Those of you that have read my reviews, will know of my love of Sci-Fi and horror movies, but every once in a while something comes along that brings a big grin to my face as soon as the movie starts and Crazy Rich Asians is one of those film, very much like La La Land did when I saw it in the cinema.
The movie has some brilliant characters that bring the film alive, such as the very memorable and funny Peik Lin Goh (Awkwafina) who as some brilliant lines that some of the laughs to the film.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Jungle (2017) in Movies

While McLean keeps things lively with a handful of elemental jump scares, the narrative in this section turns as unmoored and mud-logged as its protagonist, with a series of increasingly gaudy dream sequences
