Powerful film. A bit slow moving, but well acted, with a great story and cast.
My only issue with the film is that it was filmed in my city, and the way the movie shows my city is not accurate. One second they have the professor walking through China town, and the next second, he is walking into Pizza Zone, which is blocks and blocks away from China town...but in the movie, they make it seem like Pizza Zone is in a busier area of town, and closer to China town, when it's really in somewhat of a grubby neighbourhood, where the pizza place isn't all THAT busy during the day.

Aside from the inaccuracies in portraying my city, I really liked this movie.

Mama's Boy is an okay movie. Anna Faris and Jon Heder are cute together, though Jon Heder plays an extremely selfish man who refuses to grow up and live his own life, leaving his mom to be happy with her new man. Nothing overly spectacular, really just okay.

This movie is awful. Completely terrible. Bad story, acting....and you would think the acting would be better, considering the members of the cast have all been seen giving much better performances elsewhere. The story barely makes any sense, ends abruptly and pretty badly...the acting is forced, not well-timed, and just downright terrible.

A pretty good movie overall. Woody Harrelson and Will Ferrell are great together, and this movie has a good cast and story. Fun to watch, it keeps you entertained from start to finish, and this is one movie I want to add to my collection, as I know I want to see it again and again.

Okay, so I am a few years late in finally getting around to seeing this movie, but boy, am I glad I did! Excellent all around movie. I was quite impressed with it in every respect, and I really enjoyed it. Yes, it is a long film, but definitely worth watching at least once, if not more! Full of action, drama, and some really touching scenes between Naomi Watts and King Kong.

Truly awful. Do not even bother watching this movie. Ever. Seriously. I was warned, but sadly, after I had wasted a rental on this title. It is horrible, pure crap. The only positive thing this movie has going for it is that Kevin Sorbo is in it, and I feel so bad for him for being in it!

This movie made me cry...and cry, and cry. Excellent movie, great cast and story. Gerard Butler is excellent in the movie, and the best part of it. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is also quite good. I would have loved more of the story behind his character - what made Hilary Swank jump out of bed when she realized who he was and why he was "THAT" old friend of her dead husband's.

The only thing that really ruined it for me was the very end of the movie, when Hilary Swank and Kathy Bates go to Ireland, and Hilary Swank is the one doing the voice over of the letter to her dead husband. Pure cheese. Completely unnecessary, that whole sequence. It would have been better if the movie had just ended before that took place.

Completely awful, but so bad, it's awesome. Crispin Glover is a creepy guy, and in this movie, he is the bad guy(s), and the story and acting are so bad, it's good. Lots of humour, some completely ridiculous, but this movie is great for laughs, and a few gross-out moments. Pairing Crispin Glover with Bill Dear (who did Harry and the Hendersons) makes for some great crappy entertainment :)

Excellent movie. Good story, well acted, especially by John Cusack. The movie is slower moving, but definitely has a realistic feel to it. It's touching and sad, but not a movie that would have the audience in tears from start to finish. I liked that John Cusack's character wanted to give his girls a vacation, a chance for some fun, an escape from all the depressing crap they would have experienced if they had stayed home...waiting to tell them about their mother might not have been the best decision, but I liked the way the movie played out.

Well, the description for this movie is more than a bit misleading. It's not "powerful", nor full of guns. There are only a couple of scenes where guns are shown, and only one that I remember where guns are used in a threatening manner. As for "exciting and breathtaking"?? Not quite. This movie is mildly entertaining, but the acting is terrible by all - though I would say that Rachael Leigh Cook gives probably one of the best (if not the best) performance here. And I thought the "Western tale" was going to be more of a Western. Instead, it is just a tale set in Eastern Canada. Ontario actually. So, really, an Eastern tale about farmers who own race horses is what "All Hat" is about.
