Has potential, but quickly forgotten — 12 weeks ago

This has been done before and done much better. What is the motivation of these characters? The romance between Georgiana and Grey was stilted. I felt little sympathies for the characters. Why was G so popular? What about her disgrace? In the end, I just didn’t care. In a movie like this, there should be someone to root for. I didn’t care if the lovers hooked up because I didn’t feel anything between them.

I like Keira Knightley, historical films, and classic romance stories. This film had potential, but there was obviously a need to fit in too much information and not enough time to do it in. Bring true emotion in to this film… let the viewer marinate in it, and you have a great film.

Well acted. Beautifully set. Wonderful costumes. Poor direction. No heart.

A story about "The Wedding Date (Widescreen Edition)" — 20 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

SPOILERS

I’m sad and heartbroken. I’ll buy a male escort. No sex. I’ll get drunk and jump him. I’m in love. We fight. I’m sad and heartbroken. We’re in love again.

Why I recommend "You're Awful, I Love You" — 20 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Andrew Volpe does the best Reese Roper I’ve heard in years, even better than Reese himself in recent years.

Original, but little more — 27 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I love old sci-fi. I even like bad “classic” sci-fi. Unfortunately, this film didn’t work for me. It mixed all that made Ed Wood’s movies laughable (the stock film and goofs) with a Leave It To Beaver cast attempting to do a serious sci-fi movie. “Gee whiz.”

The U.S. version is surprisingly much better than the British. The British version involves a long scene in the observatory that is tedious and irrelevant. It also has a completely different, and much more positive, ending. Unfortunately, this alternate ending is cheesy (the kid says “Gee, thanks” after humanity is saved) and was obviously filmed long after the original film was (the boy is a couple years older).

I’ve never not liked an old sci-fi film, even when it was ridiculous, boring, predictable, or cheesy…until today. While “Invaders from Mars” was original for its time, the film was highly disappointing overall.

A story about "Doubt" — 27 weeks ago

About a third of the way through this film, I realized I had read the play several years back. For whatever reason, this prior knowledge of the story drained much of the excitement I had in viewing this movie.

Still, it was well casted, good story, and great performances. Some of the scenes were exactly as I imagined them when I originally read the play; unfortunately, this gave me the feeling that I had already seen the movie and I just wasn’t that interested in viewing it a second time.

A story about "Pope Dreams" — 32 weeks ago

A pretty good indie flick. I most liked how it avoided many potential cliches.
Wish Larisa’s role could have been more prominent, though.

A story about "Broken Windows" — 33 weeks ago

Great to see another Larisa movie, but, unfortunately, this film really didn’t make any sense. Overall, good quality, mostly good acting, but too much was crammed into 97 minutes and it just didn’t gel for me.

How "Together Again for the First Time" changed my life — 42 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Larisa Oleynik with a British accent. Wow!

A story about "Can't Love, Can't Hurt" — 47 weeks ago

A good band, but nothing grabbed me. There’s potential here, but nothing extremely memorable.

A story about "Scream" — 48 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Not horrible, but definitely not worth consuming.

If Boy George joined Creed, and they went a little more emo, I think it might sound something like this.

Did I say it wasn’t horrible?
