St. Trinian's (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those who haven't enjoyed the Searle cartoons of the early 1950s film with Alastrair Sim, this movie is a delight. In this day of Will Farrell stupidity and dumbing down, it's a treat to watch something whose humour may be unsubtle but is fun. Rupert Everette steals the show in his 2 roles. I never thought anyone after Sim could do this but he does with style. I'm not going to spoil the surprises thriugh the film. I watched it on Virgin coming back from one of my London trip and am sure I annoyed other passenegers with my laughing. Who cares! Get the DVD because a sequel is about to be released and maybe this time whatever idiot is in charge of international distribution will make sure it gets a wide US release. Movies like this make it worth looking into a region-free DVD player!

St Trinian’s, the infamous school for ‘young ladies’, is in trouble. Despite being an old flame of its Headmistress (in a top-of-his-class comic performance by Rupert Everett, My Best Friend’s Wedding), the new Education Minister is shaking things up and the school is facing financial ruin. But the students of St Trinian’s aren’t going to give up without a fight. After all, they excel at chaos and attitude not chemistry and algebra…and that’s exactly what it’s going to take to beat the authorities before they close down their beloved school for good. Starring Colin Firth (Mamma Mia!, Bridget Jones’s Diary), Lena Headey (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Vacancy), Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Caterina Murino (Casino Royale). Also starring Mischa Barton (“The O.C.,” “The Beautiful Life”), Talulah Riley (The Boat That Rocked) and Gemma Arterton (Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), with a cameo appearance by U.K. sensation Girls Aloud.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know what movie one of the other reviewers saw, but it certainly wasn't the same one I saw. I thought it was excellent & no I am not a fangirl or fanboy, I have just been a movie buff my whole life. I thought Gyllenhaal did a great job considering he did most of his own stunts & looked very much like the PoP video game character. Plus he brought a lot of wit & charm to the character & there was quite a bit of chemistry between him & Gemma who was exquisitely beautiful, wonderful, & feisty as Tamina. My only problem with this movie is there won't be a sequel since the US did not embrace this movie like they did overseas. However, it was fun, exciting, had beautiful cinematography with the Moroccan landscapes & deserts. The only CGI special effects were the turn back time sequences, & a few other places with the sand glass. It had quite a few teaching moments too, which makes it a great family film & for kids of all ages to enjoy. Bruckheimer movies are always big budget flicks & it shows in every way. There definitely was no cutting corners here, you could really tell. One more thing I want to add is the Parkour stunts were beautifully choreographed, that was an excellent idea to get David Belle to teach Gyllenhaal the art of Parkour, so they looked real. FYI to you naysayers, there is such a thing as suspension of disbelief & a good imagination that one must have to thoroughly lose yourself in a fantasy type movie as this is so you can enjoy it for what it is, otherwise, you waste the whole movie thinking about the stunts & events in it are impossible & illogical.
