I have to admit, it was obvious from the trailer that this wasn’t going to be a great movie. But I love the story and I like a lot of the actors and I was so curious I had to go see it anyway. and kind of, it was fun. or at . . . → Read More: The Three Musketeers

The only review I really have of the theatrical cut is a quote from Entertainment Weekly’s review of Kingdom of Heaven – May 13, 2005. There were a lot of things I liked about it and a lot of things I was disappointed in. I wanted it to be brilliant and breathtaking. . . . → Read More: Kingdom of Heaven

When I first came out of Pirates 3 wasn’t sure what I thought. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. I was thinking over different scenes and realizing how much I just enjoyed the film, enjoyed myself while I was watching it. It’s fun. It’s funny.

The first time I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest I didn’t know what to expect, so I was paying all sorts of attention trying to figure out what I thought and why. I saw plenty of flaws and expressed the following criticisms…

Whatever flaws I found in this movie (and there were more than a few) I have to give Peter Jackson credit for taking such an unwieldy storyline, full of several different threads built up through the trilogy and wrapping them up so satisfyingly.
Yes, it was kind of choppy.

Absolutely flawless film.
I am so in love with the characters, I don’t know what to do with myself. I love that even though Will and Elizabeth are kind of written, initially, as stock characters, Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley really give them such personality and depth. Jack is so strange, but . . . → Read More: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

At first I was upset at what this movie was and then I saw the extended version of this movie and surprisingly enough, I found forgiveness. Now, ironically, it’s probably the one I’ve seen the most.
My major grievances with the theatrical version of this movie were as follows: Faramir, Elrond, Arwen, . . . → Read More: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Of course most everyone loved this movie. Because J.R.R. Tolkien created such deep, rich, complex characters. And he did something amazing with them that just doesn’t happen now – he gave them nobility. I tried looking that word up for it’s precise meaning and it didn’t help me any. But Frodo’s fierce . . . → Read More: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
