watching it could be likened to one of the most boring conversations you’ve ever had in your life.Your eyes are glazing over but the person talking to you insists on droning on for another ninety minutes

Insulting your audience’s intelligence is never a good idea and, as the producers now know, not the route to Box Office glory.

There are a couple of moments on the boat when real tension is created but the shoreline situation is silly from beginning to end.When the piranhas attack, hundreds of teenagers scream and flounder and stagger ashore, but all they really had to do to escape was to run like hell.

as a person, Kevin is ost likeable, but as a lead character in a film, he sucks.And it gets worse.Kevin’s grandmother is loving and a domestic goddess, his best friend loyal and honest and his love interest a sensible young woman who never misses church on Sundays

Roberts’ quest to find the balance of mind, body and spirit, which the Hippies covered in the 60s and I’m sure they’ll be very surprised to learn this can be achieved without some kind of chemical assistance.

someone wrote an uninteresting drama, added some sci-fi/superpower scenes, tossed in some sequential art and simply let them collide.Rather like getting Pavarotti, Dolly Parton and Snoop Dogg to sing a line each of the same song and expect people to download it on iTunes.It’s just not going to happen.

Times move on and, at 64, Sly, thankfully, knows that getting the girl won’t work anymore, but instead of letting someone else have the honor, he fixes it so NO ONE gets her.How dog in the manger is that?

Harry met David in Korean-American summer camp in 1990 and, as the only ‘metal heads’ in the group, they bonded and have been friends ever since.Unlike David, Harry followed an academic route and completed a degree in Media before finding his way into IT and making what everyone needs to do, money.

This film is about Louis Armstrong, the first jazz soloist to garner international acclaim and one of the greatest musical influences of the 20th Century.His road to stardom is a classic underdog story and, of course, fodder for a fascinating biopic.

The Enemies of the People are the words the Khmer Rouge used to describe the two million Cambodians who they butchered in the name of patriotism. This film searches for an explanation for this genocide

tells us what John might have seen when he was dreaming of the past and, when he waxed lyrical, why he always managed to say so much with so little.The person behind the personality has finally been smoked out

As the opening scene unfolds outside on the street, inside a soldier tries on a wedding dress, never taking his eyes off his reflection as he gently pulls the sparkling white lace over his muscled torso, slips the starched veil onto his cropped head, and stands, mesmerized by the vision of his shrouded body.

For those unfamiliar with the US, the Americans dropped ‘French’ from ‘fries’ after the French government publicly dissed the Americans over the Iraq invasion/WMD issue, with the French saying they wanted ‘more proof’.The last time they made that request it came marching into Paris waving a German flag.

This film is set at a time when Melbourne criminals are becoming TV Reality stars and the Armed Robbery Task Force are shooting suspects on sight.It’s down and dirty and we only hear it from the bad guys’ side which is the right place to be because when the hunter becomes the hunted we want to get as close as we can.

Like all teenagers, they’re hard-wired to what they can’t have and with the hunt for illegal drink stolen they’re forced to channel their bad behavior elsewhere, which is where Twelve comes in.Twelve is a brand new cocktail of drugs, sold in vials, guaranteed to blast the user into oblivion and is very, very expensive.

Have the likes of Eastwood and Schwarzenegger been replaced by movie stars who are in touch with their feminine side?  Does this mean we have to replace our own flat tires, and we won't be able to give our guy a hard time in front of the neighbors in case he starts sobbing.  Didn't any of your bra burning maniacs see this coming?!

if it’s only the backdrop of a story, it gets a little tricky.Probably a little like trying to mix oil and water, or deciding to buy magnetic catches; you know, deep down, it’s just not going to work.

He was a perfectionist, fiercely loyal to the Third Reich and was so touched by the trust the people of Nanjing placed in him that he refused to leave when the Japanese occupation began.

Unlike some Western countries, in Italy it does not constitute political suicide if you take a lover; in fact, it’s expected, and probably why all reflexive verbs in Italian end with an i.

He is compelled to save anyone who has suffered a social or judicial injustice and faces off political intimidation with the same stare that Clubber Lang used on Rocky.How cool is that?

The reason AJ doesn’t get star billing here is because the film is 99 minutes, 70 of which are action sequences that no A list actor could ever get insurance for.It’s what happens when you start collecting $17M a movie; you put a price on your head that no one can afford.

No new sci-fi world has been created and the story is simply dropped into the present day, without a ray gun or lightsaber in sight. And instead of using a tardis to get around, our hero uses a white van - how passé is that?

Any children’s animation has an instant audience, as long as Mum and Dad will take them, but therein lies the crunch.Kids don’t read reviews, but parents do, and if they’re going to spend their hard-earned leisure time driving to the movies, finding parking, shelling out for tickets, pop-corn, soda and possibly the most expensive hot-dog in the entire Western World, won’t they at least want to enjoy a little cinematic pleasure?

This film contains a lot of gratuitous violence, depicts a romance between a bi-racial couple, the theme of ‘no mercy’ features strongly and ‘revenge is good’ is the clear message.The original Karate Kid was 16 and on the cusp of manhood, the remake Kid is 12 and still a child and this disparity gives the film an incongruous feel, made worse when the young boy and his girlfriend talk and behave like sensible adults
