Posted: 4/5/2003A review of Phone Booth by MovieFan12345
All in all, I thought the movie was good. Those of you who saw it thinking that there would be a lot more action, didn't you pay attention to the title? Anyway, the acting of both the main stars, Colin and Keifer, was absolutely amazing.I completely believed in ";Stu's"; painful desperation. And Keifer's voice was so creepy and sinister. The story had a few holes, and the end was a little cheesy, but the acting more than makes up for it!

Posted: 5/11/2009A review of Star Trek by MovieFan12345
Having been a fan of Star Trek, in it's many incarnations, going on 30 years, I can honestly say that J.J. Abrams and crew have handled the franchise with respect and admiration. Through the use of some very clever scripting, we get to experience the Star Trek universe, with our favorite characters, from day one. The plot is heavily story and character driven with great F/X shots that are not overdone or overplayed. The performances by Pine, Quinto, Urban, Pegg and the others are near-perfect. And an underrated performance by Eric Bana as the Romulan Capt. Nero gives us a villain both terrifying in his violence and sympathetic in his losses. All and all, a fantastic film either as a new entry into the lore of the Star Trek universe or as a stand alone film. Highly recommended!

The reviews that are listed here are for the Uma Thurman movie that came out in the 90's. The database people at MSN are idiots for not catching this. Ha! Go to Rotten Tomatoes for real reviews of Marvel's The Avengers.

Posted: 5/16/2003A review of The Matrix Reloaded by MovieFan12345
I'm a big fan of the Matrix. I thought the Wachowski Bros. made something unique with the first film. When watching it, I felt Neo's anguish at being removed from the Matrix and having to adapt and face up to reality. I understood, if not agreed, with Cypher's desire to do anything to be reinserted into the Matrix. I understood Trinity's hesitance to let her guard down around Neo in the first film.In Reloaded, the writers/directors make even the human characters seem more like machines themselves. There seems to be no true emotions from the humans in the movie except for in one or two places. And the language, especially from the Morpheus character, is stuffy and archaic for no apparent reason other than theatrics.There is a 12 minute love scene between Neo and Trinity that the directors seem to use to try to compensate for the lack of emotional depth in the rest of the film. It doesn't work. The scene feels contrived and doesn't seem to fit the rest of the movie.Also, I'm a pretty smart cookie, and there were bits of dialogue that were explaining how The One (Neo) came to be that were very confusing. I'm probably going to have to see it again just to figure it out.Remember too, when you see it, that this is number 2 in a trilogy, and those always seem to be the most difficult to do and do well. This one falls short of The Empire Strikes Back, but it has some great number 2 moments.Now don't get me wrong. I still thought the movie was pretty good, the effects and fight scenes were cutting edge, but it definitely lacks something the first film had - it lacks heart.
