http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog Your number 1 movie guide Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:38:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Where does one begin when discussing Impact Point, a recently released direct-to-video suspense thriller (or, at least, that's how it's marketed)? I've been asking myself that question for the last 15 minutes as I jumped ahead to write the other parts of this review. You see, everything - and I mean everything ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/impact-point-movie/ Romantic comedies don't get more generic than this one. Imagine Me & You (beware movies that borrow their titles from pop songs…) follows the established formula with only one Sapphic deviation - the romantic leads are both female. But, for all the that script explores the societal and cultural repercussions ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/imagine-me-and-you-movie/ Even as the teenage girlfriend of a South Bronx drug dealer, Millie DeLeon is the investment adviser you'd want on your account. Without telling him, Millie invests his profits in Microsoft. This was in the late 1980s. "I only made one mistake," she tells her son years later. "I didn't ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/illegal-tender-movie/ Based on second-hand experience, it seems to me that the coming-of-age film is among the easiest kind of movie to do badly, but one of the hardest to do well. Too many pictures in this genre have a bland, overcooked feel, as if the memories that comprise the story have ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/igby-goes-down-movie/ The theatrical release of Mike Judge’s new comedy “Idiocracy” is one of the most egregious travesties of modern cinema. Not because the film is awful, which it most definitely is not. Seeing this film dumped during one of the slowest movie attending weekends of the year, in only a handful ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/idiocracy-movie/ When a drug deal turns into a bloodbath, a junkie-gangster crosses paths with an illegal alien. The illegal alien ends up with the gangster's ID and uses it to create a new successful life as a US citizen. A near death experience causes the gangster to re-evaluate his life, and ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/identity-theft-movie/ An out-of-the-way motel. An introverted manager with a skeleton in the closet. Guests who lose their heads at the first signs of trouble. Sound familiar? Although the echoes of Hitchcock are certainly intentional, Identity is not Pscyho, nor does it strive to be. A movie that successfully navigates the line ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/identity-movie/ An Ideal Husband is a delightful parfait - an irresistible concoction of brilliant dialogue, sumptuous set design, top-notch acting, and a plot littered with Machiavellian twists. Possessing a light tone tinged with an acerbic accent, An Ideal Husband represents about the best that the motion picture industry can offer. It's ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/an-ideal-husband-movie/ Growing up in the late fifties it was a time of extreme tension. The growing animosities between the Untied States and the Soviet Union coined a new term, the cold war. Afraid of Russian bombs we built shelters; we kids practiced ducking under our flimsy ply wood desks in hopes ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/ice-station-zebra-movie/ Yeah, that's Anjelica Huston in a campy sci-fi spoof, but that doesn't mean it ever takes itself seriously. Robert Urich stars as a space pirate in the far future, when there's no more water in the galaxy, and pirates work the shipping lanes of open space to steal what ice there ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/09/23/the-ice-pirates-movie/ There are those, including the distributor, who would like audiences to believe that The Ice Harvest is a comedy. At first glance, that's not so hard to accept. After all, director Harold Ramis was one of the Ghostbusters co-writers and scored a big hit with Groundhog Day. But Ramis' funniest ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/26/the-ice-harvest-movie/ Hats off to 20th Century Fox. Through a marketing campaign which can be considered nothing less than astonishing, the studio has managed to convert Ice Age from an adequate (but hardly superlative) example of family entertainment into one of 2002's handful of must-see movies. Put this one alongside Star Wars, ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/26/ice-age-movie/ When all of the dust from 2004's crumbling blockbusters has settled, I, Robot will likely emerge as the strongest mainstream motion picture of the summer. The best big-budget science fiction film since Minority Report, I, Robot gets high marks not only for storytelling but for its compelling vision of 2035 ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/26/i-robot-movie/ Plot Biopic of legendary singer Bob Dylan through seven different stages in the artist’s life played by six different actors. The events that follow are drawn as much from Dylan's songs as from his actual biography. Review A biopic where the famous white, male subject is subdivided into six personalities and played by ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/26/i-am-not-there-movie/ The hook-wielding fisherman who stalked Jennifer Love Hewitt and company in two previous films is back in the straight-to-DVD sequel I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. But instead of hunting down the Ghost Whisperer star, the killer in a slicker is after a new crop of teens living ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/26/i-will-always-know-what-you-did-last-summer-movie/ Nobody does the comedy of embarrassment as well as the Brits, and the plot of this Ealing Studios effort ensures painful laughs at every turn. The heroes are a pair of ambitious students (Toms Riley and Burke) who set out to make their mark in movies by creating the world’s ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/25/i-want-candy-movie/ Upon occasion, cinema can make for strange bedfellows. Consider, for example, I Think I Love My Wife. This relationship comedy marries the sensibilities of French New Wave auteur Eric Rohmer with the youth-friendly, sometimes raunchy humor of Chris Rock. Yet, as strange as it might seem, the unlikely juxtaposition works. ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/25/i-think-i-love-my-wife-movie/ I am firmly convinced that, given enough time, every television series made between 1960 and 1975 will be given a big-screen treatment. Considering the lack of quality attributed to most of these productions, this must surely be considered one of the signs of the Apocalypse. The movie version of I Spy ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/25/i-spy-movie/ It would be interesting to know what contribution (if any) credited screenwriter Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways) made to the final draft of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Except for the cloying, strident preachiness of the third act, this seems to be a standard issue Adam Sandler outing, with ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/25/i-now-pronounce-you-chuck-and-larry-movie/ Aubrey Fleming is a meek, cerebral student starting to figure out her path in life as a writer, penning stories that seem deeper and darker than her pitch-perfect surroundings. She's got good friends, supportive family and a stable life in an idyllic town only recently saddened by the abduction and ... http://www.moviedbonline.com/blog/2008/08/25/i-know-who-killed-me-movie/
