Reviewed Four Brothers Movie

Four Brothers is Rousing Ride!

Although it tries to be too many things all at the same time, Four Brothers succeed. It succeeds mainly because of the actors, Mark Wahlberg, who plays Bobby (The oldest, who has a tendency to act out of anger and on impulse.), Andre Benjamin, who plays Jeremiah (The next oldest, family man and ...Read more

Hustle & Flow is a tightly woven tale of a broken down Memphis pimp, DJay, played by Terrence Dashon Howard. (Who can also be seen in Four Brothers, also in theaters) He gives a stirring Oscar worthy performance of a man caught in the midst of a mid-life crisis, waking up to the reality that he ...Read more

Beauty Shop needs a good trim

Beauty Shop is not the worst movie I have seen, but it is in no way the best. The movie, though pleasant, is plagued by improper pacing. The first 25 minutes are slow and laborious. The actors seem to be trying too hard to elicit laughter from the audience, but due to the mediocrity of the scrip...Read more

Guess Who?...Does it matter?

Guess who, loosely based on the 1967 movie, Guess Who’s Coming to dinner, provides a pleasant diversion for a mid-morning romp. While this movie, with screenplay by David Ronn, is not as ambitious as the original, written by William (The Ladykillers, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World) Rose, i...Read more

Ray -Hollywood Movie

I often write my thoughts about a film in Word, save it and post it later...I just happen to be on vacation this week with nothing to do, and decided to look through my files and share with Mouthshut what I had.

Reviewed The Interpreter Movie

The Interpreter loses a little in translation

Sitting in the theater, nearly 20 minutes into viewing The Interpreter, I began to wonder if the extended length lately of all the commercials and trailers, which precede the features are dimming my movie experience, or if film makers are settling for mediocrity - The last refuge of the creative...Read more

Diary of a Mad Black Woman, is the film version of Tyler Perry’s stage play of the same name.

Ray shines a brilliant light on an artists' soul

There is no greater joy than watching an artist in performance of his art, whether he is a painter, a writer, or as in this case an actor. Jamie Foxx's performance of his art in Ray, the screen biopic of one of the most talented artists of our time, Ray Charles, is a moving masterpiece. He gives...Read more

A smart yet engaging romantic comedy
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Movie

I kept passing this up in the video store. Jim Carey is one of those actors, who when not directed properly can get on your nerves. Glad to hear this is one of his better roles....I will be renting it very soon. Greg

Stay Away From Sharp Objects - including Blade 2

Hopefully, when you view this movie you won?t be near any sharp objects, lest you be tempted to slit your wrists. When I first heard they were making a sequel to the original Blade, I expected very little. Well, my expectations far exceeded the reality of the drivel I fell asleep on, not once...Read more

I have to confess – While I didn’t get to see about 15 minutes of the film, as I fell asleep somewhere around the time that Jada Pinkett-Smith’s character (Niobe) was sent in to assist. For all the publicity surrounding her part in the movie, she has very little screen time ...Read more

The LadyKillers should have died at Conception

Can someone please tell me what was the point of this movie? This movie is so painfully unfunny; I would undertake a full day of dental work without Novocain, before I let myself undergo this torture again. Not one of the characters, with the exception of Irma P. Hall, as landlady, Marva Munson ...Read more
