I watch this one with my little girl all the time. It's great!Get more detail about Peter Pan.

Shop For Tidal Wave


In spite of what the other reviewer has stated,the South Korean film "Tidal Wave" is a disaster movie!And a very touching and
heartfelt one at that!!!!!Unlike most of your typically-mindless
Hollywood blockbuster fare,you get a great character driven story
before the special effects galore happen(aka: disaster)!The first hour and at least 15 to 20 minutes of the film are all about the main characters and focuses on what really drives them and makes
them tick.The story is set in Haeundae,South Korea and focuses on
the upper class,the middle class,and the lower class workers around
the beach area and the city itself and their characters are developed in very interesting ways and the last 40 minutes of the
film is when the MEGA-TSUNAMI strikes the paradise resort city and
focuses on not only just who makes it and who doesn't but also how their lives are completely changed afterwards!There is also dashes
here and there of humor scattered throughout the film just to keep
you from getting too upset.The special effects are truly eye popping and mind blowing and is just as good if not SUPERIOR TO the tidal wave special effects that we've seen in Hollywood disaster movies like:"The Day After Tomorrow","Poseidon",and "2012"!The director of photography also captures some of
the most beautiful and lavish scenery I would never have imagined
existed in Haeundae,South Korea.Who knows how even more lavish and
beautiful it looks on blu-ray since I only have it on DVD.The DVD
special features include the following: deleted scenes,gag reel,the
making of Tidal Wave,and The Project.You can also watch the movie in its original Korean language with English subtitles or in an
English dubbed track.Personally,I prefer it in its original language with English subtitles.I hope this review was helpful.Get more detail about Tidal Wave.

More Than A Game Review


I thought it was going be about Lebron but it was actually about his friends. Yea hes a big part of the movie but you will learn about his fab 5 friends. If your a Lebron fan like I am you will enjoy the movie. You get to see old tapes of Lebron and get a little background information. Lebron still looks the same way, its funny see him as a kid and he sticks out at a young age.Get more detail about More Than A Game.

The Sum of All Fears This instant


In easily the most horrible Clancy adaptation ever, The Sum of All Fears produces not only a nuclear blast on U.S. soil, but something just as damaging: overwhelming political correctness. The screenwriter for this film changed the villains from Islamic terrorists (something current) to a rogue neo-Nazi group (something anachronistic), and it is a completely flagrant, transparent, sanitized placation of the PC crowd.

Essentially the plot involves neo-Nazis detonating a mid-football game nuke in Baltimore to goad the United States into a nuclear war with a failing Russian government. Yeah, because there will be a lot of land and nothing but good times after the U.S. and Russia go all Jackson Pollock with nukes across the world. Pretty stupid, huh? Well, the problems after that are numerous.

First, after dropping a nuke nobody would stick around to see their handiwork. This is not a suicide-bomber or serial killer. Second, could someone explain to the cast and crew what an EMP actually does? If a massive one hits downtown Baltimore, there will not be operational handheld electronics or helicopter radios, and they certainly shouldn't be used to advance the storyline. Speaking of the helicopter, if one gets rocked out of the sky by the concussive force of a mushroom cloud, I doubt someone is walking away, much less saving the day like Ryan. Finally, why is Ryan still in the Baltimore/D.C. area shortly after the explosion? Why does the movie end with him kicking his feet up in relaxation as if there isn't fallout? It'd been more believable if he had a third eye on his forehead or looked like visitor to the bar from Total Recall.

It is obvious Ben Affleck is not Jack Ryan. Sure, he's playing a former military officer with a law degree who is employed by the CIA as a foreign affairs analyst, but he's way too young (in his late 20s when filmed) for this role. He's neither Alec Baldwin nor Harrison Ford, two actors who actually look as if they could be Jack Ryan. The best he could possibly hope for is to be a younger version; a mouth-breathing, late-20 something, semi-serious entry level employee who would be more comfortable at a Frat house than a political environment. He's as miscast as Denise Richards would be playing a nuclear physicist. (Oops!) Come to think of it, why WASN'T she cast for that role in this movie? It would have been just as believable.

Aside from Morgan Freeman's portrayal of Bill Cabot (Director of the CIA), there wasn't much I enjoyed other than a fun scene in which Ryan misses a date with his fiancé and tells her that his boss (i.e. Cabot) needs him to board a plane to Russia instead. Most of the time spent watching this movie involved me looking down at my watch, which is sad considering the realistic nature of the topic and source material.

The Holiday Immediately


A chick-flick from the opening credits, this charming work of two unlikely actors, Black and Winslet, while far better than that of the obvious "stars" Law and Diaz, is the stuff of which chick-flicks are made, a good laugh and a good cry.Get more detail about The Holiday.
