Turbo (2013)

How do you lose USD 52 million dollar at the box office?

Easy, you make a CGI movie about about a snail who can out run an F1 car...

Even on paper the concept look weak.

How the movie got made is really beyond me...

Poor Ryan Reynold, he had had made several big budget doo doos...

There really isn't much else to say about this movie...

Just... weak...

She's All That (1999)

A teenage RomCom.

There are two thing that I have to say about this movie.

1) So many names in this one, Freddie Prinze Jr., Rachael Leigh Cook, Matthew Lillard, Anna Paquin & Usher Raymond and they were ALL so young...

2) I forgot Paul Walker was in this one. It is still sad to see him...

A simple, light, mildly amusing and predictable movie.

There is a market for this kind of movies.

ohh another on my list then, cant believed i miss such a movie!

rewatched it last year, yeah a pretty uplifting movie, and a simple one at that.
good when you want a movie that fits the whole family i'd say.

um good when the kids come around i guess? they wont move from their sofas when this was on!

This is like one of the most forgettable movie as i watch it during my teenage years.
and i watch it again last year it really opened up my eyes the magic of coppola's directing.
very underrated and i always ask my friends to rewatch it and even they still haven't yet understand the simplicity in that movie.
it doesnt use big dialogues and doesnt portray over complexed acting depths.
but the undertones of certain scenes accompanied by good music, paused shots/scenery
sinked in the emotions that is let to grow and doesn't seem to be played out or rushed.

A very good movie to watch if you'd think you've transition into someone who can enjoy a movie without overtwist plot and actions.

If you could peel the layers of emotions entrapped in this movie with all it's beautiful sceneries, you know you are ready to watch a movie like match factory girl(1990)

or girl with a pearl earring(2003) (ps sca jo is in it! as an artist rather than a bimbo'ed out actress)

I suppose I am not the demographic they were shooting for...

i myself pretty much yawned all the way, a mediacore mv to say the least, but quite colourful animation especially on the night scenes where the glowing parts seem s to shine. kids love that!

What happens when you crossed Thunderbirds (1965) (eg Gerry Anderson) + ILSA + Ultraman + Inglourious Basterds (2009)?

Why, you get

Danger 5 (2011– )

It is tacky, corny, low budget and SO BAD, IT IS ACTUALLY GOOD!!

Plus, it is Australian made!

Will wonders never cease!!

Just give this a try!

Just do it!!

I have NOT laugh so hard for a very VERY long time.

My Two Sen.

Cant wait for the sequel

Family Plot (1976)

Alfred Hitchcock's last movie.

And... I like it!! I REALLY do!

After the two more European feel movies, Topaz (1969) & Frenzy (1972), Hitchcock's movies return to the States, namely San Francisco!!

It started with a little Agatha Christie and ended up, like Clue!! (Yes, the board game). I do not mean for it to sound like a put down. This movie is good!

No big stars attached and have to add, he got very good character actors for his roles, and they are good!! Barbara Harris's (Blanche Tyler) a RIOT!!

As dysfunction as the characters Blanche Tyler & George Lumley are, they really REALLY care for each other, and that is really sweet!! They really STEAL to show!!

A lot have been made off his more well know works, Rear Window (1954), North by North West (1959), Vertigo (1958) etc (the 50s was a golden age for Hitchcock), I have to say, the Master showed the world that in 1976, he is STILL the Master of Suspense!!

This movie is based on The Rainbird Pattern is a thriller novel by Victor Canning, and supposedly, the book is much much darker than the movie. Screenplay Ernest Lehman did an amazing job!!

Alma Hitchcock was fighting cancer during this period, and Hitchcock himself was also sick himself. They were both devoted to each other.

Through all that, he still made this GREAT movie! And underrated at THAT!!

The IRONY in this movie is palpable!!

He paid Paul Newman and Julie Andrew US 750,000 each on Torn Curtain (1966) (he never got over that), and when it was suggested that Al Pacino be cast as the lead in Family Plot, he put his foot down and cast Bruce Dern as the lead because he had been working with him for 12 years (in bit roles and also on Alfred Hitchcock Presents) and also he only needed to pay Bruce Dern USD 100,000!!

Another interesting bit of trivia about this movie is, John Williams (right after Jaws) did the score for this movie!! And it is CHEEKY (fits like a glove)!!

Nobody knew that this would be his last movie... He was working on another project when it occurred to him he physically cannot do it (The Short Night)

If you consider yourself a Hitchcock fan, watch this!!
