Gatta in Calore, Space Jam, La Setti Madonna, Hercules, Touch of Evil

Gatta_in_calore_eva_czemerys_n

Gatta in Calore is a decent enough thriller but nothing special. Fans of Italian cinema will want to check it out. 2.75/5

 

Space_jam

I thought it might be fun to watch Space Jam again. I was wrong. Just a horrible film. 1/5

 

Lasettimadonna_poster

La Setti Madonna sounds like it would be a fun revenge film. Three men attack a group of nuns and one goes on a killing spree to get revenge. Sadly, nothing that exciting really happens. 2/5

 

Hercules

I really enjoy Hercules. James Woods does a fantastic job as the villain. One of my favorite Disney villains. 3.5/5

 

Touchofevil

Touch of Evil is a beautifully photographed but flawed film. Charleston Heston as a Mexican doesn't work on any level. The blu-ray looks amazing. 3.5/5

Lady and the Tramp, Sound of Music, Ladyhawke

Lady_and_the_tramp_poster

Not my favorite Disney film but Lady and the Tramp is a solid film. 3.75/5

 

1965-sound-of-music-photo1

I love the Sound of Music. I got it on blu-ray and it's one of my top 10 favorite films. 5/5

 

1985-ladyhawke-poster2_6022

Ladyhawke has three problems. First the score might be the worst for any film ever. Secondly, it's two hours long. Lastly, Mathew Broderick tries to do an accent. The awesomeness of Rutger Hauer can only go so far. 2.5/5

Enchanted, The Rainbow Thief, Pinocchio

Enchantedposter6

I've been trying to watch more movies with my daughter. She picked Enchanted. So far we've watched Star Wars, this and Pinocchio. She's getting good taste. 3.5/5

 

The-rainbow-thief-poster

Even if you didn't know that The Rainbow Thief is a Alejandro Jodorowsky film, you could probably figure it out with odd nudity, midgets and giants. It's not a very good movie but if you are a fan of Jodorowsky, it's worth a watch. 2.5/5

 

Pinocchio_poster

Pinocchio looks amazing on blu-ray. The colors are incredibly sharp and bright and the details are amazing. 4.5/5

The King's Speech, Tangled

The_king_speech

The King's Speech is total Oscar bait. It's got a couple of great performances but little else. It's not shocking that it has 12 Oscar noms. If you had to make a movie designed to get Oscar awards, this would be it. 4/5

 

Tangled

I really enjoyed Tangled. I really liked the character designs and the simple storytelling. 4/5

Total Recall, Fragile, Lilo and Stitch

Total_recall_poster_66672019

Total Recall doesn't hold up as well as I thought it would. The look and the fee of the movie feels dated for some reason. Still, it's a good time and lots of fun. 3.5/5


Ffffragileb

Fragile is a by the numbers haunted hospital. The ending has a bit of a kick if you can the paint by numbers story. 2/5


Lilo-and-stitch-poster-0

I love Lilo and Stitch. It's great. I know it was released during the downfall of Disney animation but give it a shot if you haven't seen it. 3.75/5

Disneys_the_jungle_book_poster

I love the Jungle Book. This is one of my all time favorite Disney films. 4.75/5

 

Leaves-of-grass-poster01

Holy crap is this movie bad. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. This is probably going to be on my list of worst films of the year. 0.5/5

 

The-incredibles

The second best of the Pixar films. This is the movie that Fantastic Four should have been. 4.5/5

 

The-princess-and-the-frog-post

I didn't care for this the first time I saw it but it's really grown on me. My daughter loves it. 3.75/5

Grotesque-movie-review-2_2009

Very disappointing film. Could have been disturbingly intense but instead goes for satire. Total pass. 1/5

 

Lionking

Holds up very well. My daughter loved it. We'll be watching it again. 4.5/5

 

Aladdin

Fun but feels a little dated.Daughter wasn't as impressed. 3.5/5

 

Lethal_weapon4

I remember liking this much better than part 3. Boy does this franchise not age well. 1.5/5

 

44-inch-chest

Amazing cast but not much of a movie. Everyone does a terrific job in the movie but the story just isn't there. 2.5/5

Princess_and_the_frog_poster1

Not bad return to traditional animation for Disney. The story is a little weak but it's enjoyable. 3.75/5

 

Ne-te-retourne-pas

Crazy French film about a Sophie Marceau slowly transforming into Monica Bellucci. Unnerving story that keeps you wondering what's happening until the end. The ending is a little troubled. It could have been better. 3.75/5
