Movie Reviews

Most people love to talk about movies they've seen, even if it's to just give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. That makes movie reviews a popular tag.

Movie reviews refers to analysis of or commentary on particular movies. Some sites compile reviews from a variety of sources, others ask readers for reviews and other sites use individual reviews. The tag may have broad usage, encompassing not only movies currently in theaters but also ones that are released on DVD. It will also cover the full spectrum of movies, from dramas to comedies to documentaries.

While one might consider being a movie reviewer one of the greatest jobs around, the quality of movie reviews depends on knowledge of film as a whole or the subject matter of a particular movie.

  /Film — Authority: 766
  I have a hard time calling this sort of thing a television spot, even though that’s technically what it is. But when you go over a minute and and half in length, I call it a trailer. Maybe we should term this new kind of commercial a “TV Trailer”. Anyway, this new TV Trailer for Jason Reitman ’s Up in the ...

• Night at the Museum 2 – DVD Review

  
  Hecklerspray — Authority: 613
  Night at the Museum 2 isn’t a film content with itself. When it isn’t vying for the title of most irrelevant sequel, it decides to take a trip to Ben Stiller’s house for a mass celebrity circle jerk. This isn’t just an excuse to make a mundane sequel, but for a bunch of overpaid comedians to make few ...

  WHAT WOULD TOTO WATCH? — Authority: 478
  P ixar’s 2008 smash “ Wall*E ” gave us 20 minutes of pure cinematic perfection. Then the story kicked in, and we were left with a flawed but visually dynamic tale of a trash robot in love. “ Up ,” the animation studio’s latest hit, maintains its brilliance a bit longer than its predecessor, but it, too, ...

  Okay, the first thing that I will say about this movie is that it is crap. I am going to say that straight away. There is nothing that I liked about it and I would be extremely happy never to see it again.It was totally lacking any sort of imagination or scares. That is MY opinion. If you liked it, then you are easily ...
