Knight and Day (2010)

Posted on May 18, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 At first, I rather enjoyed the comedic banter of the film but then the comedy disappeared. The film then goes into a fast pace, action pack, thrill ride. The chemistry between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz was sketchy. I seem to be … Continue reading →

Takers (2010)

Posted on May 14, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 This a mesh mash of what, I don’t know. I couldn’t follow the script if my life depended on it. Somebody has said that maybe it would have been better if they did better at the editing. I … Continue reading →

Chaos (CBS)

Posted on April 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This show is confusion. Is it a comedy, is it a drama, what is it? This is the worst show I have seen this spring. The writing is the worst. If you are going to do a show … Continue reading →

The Chicago Code (FOX)

Posted on April 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Now, this is a cop show. I was amazed by this show. It’s everything and more for a cop show. It has the grittiness you expect and good characters with great storylines. The acting excels from the cast. This is … Continue reading →

The Pacific (2010)

Posted on April 10, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated TV-MA The Pacific miniseries was produced by the same people who produced Band of Brothers. This should tell you what to expect. It’s a wonderfully produced film. The actors are relatively unknowns which I think help the film. Most critics commented on the … Continue reading →

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

Posted on April 1, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is confusing. It’s confusing because it doesn’t explain what is going on until half way though the film. We have no idea why these people are chasing each other or why or what Johnny has in … Continue reading →

Predators (2010)

Posted on March 29, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R I will say this about the film; If this film came out before the 1987 version, it would be a hit but it didn’t. It had the makings of the original with a few missing pieces. The story missed … Continue reading →

Desperate Souls (2005)

Posted on March 25, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R Desperate Souls tries to be a horror film but it doesn’t even have wax to light the candle. The filmmakers use the common camera style of shaking the camera. This was supposed to make it scary-it doesn’t work. It makes … Continue reading →

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Posted on March 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has a slow start to the greed of man. John Huston wrote an incredible screenplay from the novel by B. Traven. It shows the slow down fall of man from greed and begs the question … Continue reading →

No Ordinary Family (ABC)

Posted on March 21, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Missing Heroes this show is for you. I am not a fan of superhero shows. I don’t really get them but this show entertains. I marveled at the writing and it’s family style narrative. The actors all do … Continue reading →
