A little bit of a love story, a lot of action, and a little bit of comedy. Also, for all you Matthew McConaughey fans, he was just nice to look at.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:23:20 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/red-eye-wes-craven <!-- google_ad_section_start --> Horror movies can be terribly clichéd. The genre has, in recent years, been overrun with either PG-13 hack-and-slash routines, or over the top ultra-violent films that bank more on shock value than on real substance. Unfortunately, the audience craving for such shlock often relegates films that try something new and different to the 'failure' pile, critically at least if not financially. <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:05:43 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/hot-fuzz <!-- google_ad_section_start --> What’s covered with fuzz, blazing hot, British, and unexpectedly funny? There are two possible answers to this question: the first is a Teletubbie on fire; the second is the movie Hot Fuzz, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost the duo of Shaun of the Dead fame. <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Wed, 07 May 2008 03:44:40 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/the-mist <!-- google_ad_section_start --> I have always been a huge Steven King fan. I have enjoyed Steven's writting through all of his different phases. The Mist will not only appeal to the King fan, put to people that are not. The story is one of a members of a small community being stuck in a supermarket while creatures from 'another deminsion' feed on people out in the Mist.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:58:40 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/the-contract <!-- google_ad_section_start --> Exciting chase in Washington, D.C.: An assassin (Morgan Freeman) escaped a federal marshal transport and is supposed to meet his party, but he gets captured by an ex-cop (John Cusack) who is out hiking with his son.<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:13:36 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/the-mist-a-foggy-review-0 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> Being an experienced film-connoisseur (read: movie junkie), I have seen my share of good films and bad films, as well as films that inflict mortal wounds in organs that somehow never heal. This film, however, was not such a film. I went with the expectation of another cookie-cutter Hollywood horror in which the killer(s) are eventually beaten and their evil plan foiled. These films usually also include comedy-relief characters that end up either dieing or surviving with a rather painful-looking severed limb. These horror movies (read: garbage) are usually produced for about $70 million as they need to pay the A-grade actors to simply appear. However, I was very surprised by The Mist to have none of these stereotypical elements. <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:08:19 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/the-mist-a-foggy-review <!-- google_ad_section_start --> Being an experienced film-connoisseur (read: movie junkie), I have seen my share of good films and bad films, as well as films that inflict mortal wounds in organs that somehow never heal.

The object of his obsession in this movie is the lost 18 pages from the diary of John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln's assassin. Ed Harris' character, Jeb Wilkinson has already discovered one of the missing pages with the names of the conspirators to the assassination of Lincoln. Thomas Gates, the great-great-grandfather of Ben Gates, is listed as one of the conspirators. This discovery puts the Gates name in jeopardy once again and sends Ben on a quest to salvage his family's reputation. Amidst the numerous leads and adventures, he learns that there is a secret book that holds all of the information he needs. The book is coined the "book of secrets" and has been passed down from president to president. The book is basically the equivalent of the presidential diary, so of course he has to kidnap the president to get it.............. <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:52:37 -0400 http://reviewparty.com/kingdom-of-heaven-4-disc-directors-cut <!-- google_ad_section_start --> The Film - For anyone who has only seen the theatrical version of this film (or hasn't seen it at all), look no further than this magnificent 4-disc director's cut package. THIS is the definitive version of Kingdom of Heaven. Complete story lines and characters had been omitted from the theatrical edit in order to satisfy the studio demand for a shorter running time. Shorter movie = more showings per day = more revenue. Thankfully we have now been freed from this time restraint and are treated to the version of the film Ridley Scott intended to release from the beginning. Complete with an overture and intermission, the film has been given the deluxe, road show treatment here. I will say no more of the plot to avoid any spoilers; suffice it to say, if historical, epic action films are your cup of tea you owe it to yourself to check this out. <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Action Wed, 12 Dec 2007 11:01:55 -0500 http://reviewparty.com/inuyasha-season-1 <!-- google_ad_section_start --> Inuyasha is a Japanese animated show.
