With the lead cast consisting of Owen Wilson, Steve Martin and Jack Black, you would think The Big Year will be just another slapstick comedy with little to no story and cheap laughs. You would be wrong.

The Big Year is beautiful. Three men of different ages cross paths in their interest for birding; spotting as many birds as one can in one year.

But the film isn't really about "birding", it shows us life through three different views and the challenges life can bring and the choices that everyone has to make.

The Big Year is not a movie you will sit through laughing out loud, but you will be smiling for the better part of the 100 minutes.

One of the most underrated movies of 2011, The Big Year suffered from lack of promotion and a misleading poster and trailer.

Do yourself a favor, and watch this, you will not regret it!

This film is disturbing, because of what it is trying to say to the viewer.

Let me explain; The general view throughout movie history is that Nazi's are evil, right? As disturbing as this may be, Quentin takes it even further.

This film treats Nazi's like inhuman, evil and retarded... 60 years ago, that is what the Nazi's would call Jews.

We see a scene where a German soldier surrenders, and then being beaten to death with a baseball bat.

Furthermore, we see a slaughter of German officers in the theater scene. Surprisingly enough the Nazi's were watching a slaughter of Americans.

Furthermore the Basters create scars on their prisoners foreheads with the swastika, much alike the Nazi's did with the Jews with the yellow David star.

These are just the main coincidences in between actual events from WWII and Inglourious Basterds.

Now I wonder, did Quentin put this into his movie deliberately? If so, he should be very ashamed. Because basically he is asking us, while watching his movie, to sympathize with the equivalent of the Nazi's, the Basterds.

Maybe I am reading to much into this, and it really is a coincidence.

The movie itself then? We'll it isn't worthless but it is too long, some scenes serve no purpose and are utterly boring.

However, this movie might be saved from totally crapdom by one of the GREATEST acting performances of the last decade. Christoph Waltz preforms the great, intellectual cunning, ruthless, and viciously charming Hans Landa. What an act. I think Quentin should have only kept in the scenes in which Christoph Waltz starred, and this movie would have been an actual classic.

The other actors gave away a very mediocre and non-rememberative performance. Shining at the bottom of this list is Brad Pitt. Wow. I've never seen Pitt portray such a one-dimensional character.

By the end of the movie i started to sympathize for the Nazi Hans Landa, and started to hate Aldo, portrayed by Pitt. Come on, Quentin, this can't be right? Summary: a so-so movie, not worth watching again.

Like many before me, I've seen and enjoyed 28 Days Later. So i was quite thrilled to see this sequel, 28 Weeks Later. The first 5 minutes I thought we would get to see the same great and realistic kind of movie and 28 days. After those 5 minutes, things start to go down-hill... fast.

To begin with, the biggest disappointment for me was the fact that the story is so flat and predictable, it becomes annoying. Compared to 28 Days, which featured a realistic look on a dytopian state of panic, with people making real decisions, this film features illogical decisions and infected who somehow get a personality. The latter only works in zomcom's and not in this type of reality-horror film.

But even if you somehow manage to look past these points, the plot comes and kicks you when you're down. It is a chain-reaction of illogical and implausible actions, random stunts and the film has absolutely no direction where it wants to go.

Its really hard to review this film without giving away spoilers, because I really, REALLY, want to describe some of the ridiculous events that happen.

Summary: No plot, illogical and stupid actions by the main characters, its basically 1,5 hour of very weird Parkinson's-like shots of blood and limbs, held together by people doing random things that don't make sense.

Zombieland. When I first heard about it, I was skeptical to say the least. Because a film named Zombieland, come on, I expected a low-budget slasher movie.

Enter Zombieland! From the first second this movie starts, I'm hooked. Enter The Coolness! With the BEST intro EVER seen in a movie. From that moment on, I knew I was in love with this film.

I'll not elaborate on the story, because I feel that this is not the main aspect of the film. What really drives Zombieland is the coolness, the hilarious moments and the adrenaline pumping action.

The first thing I wanted to do when the credits began to scroll, was get up from my couch, find myself a cast-iron skillet and run outside to smash some zombie brains!

Be Kind Rewind is a beautiful in its simplicity. Its really an out of average movie that centers around long gone glory and characters out of the ordinary. I don't have words for it, it was just sheer pleasure to watch this masterpiece.

Nowadays its very hard to find quality that has heart and soul, and this movie has plenty of both. No desire for SFX or quick jokes. The desire for a refreshing script and a unique style is what sets this film apart. Rarely i have seen a film that felt like this was golden material. I for one think this is an instant classic.

Mos Def and Jack Black nail the leading parts. Black was never IN character as is in Be Kind Rewind. He truly steps it up a notch and Jerry is a diamond of a act.

I got nothing but praise for this movie, as it is not a mindless or actionfilling 10 out of a dozen flicks, but a unique experience.

The tag line looked interesting enough to view this show. As a supernatural fan, i like these kind of themes for a series.

The problem with Demons is that their is either not enough budget, or they don't know what they are doing. Because there isn't any real humor in the show, so i assume it is supposed to be scary. But how can we be scared if they show us "monsters" that look like little monkeys and some kind of group of bears with ninja skills.

Then to top it off, they got a guy with blonde hair and a fony beak on his nose to play the big bad guy.

This show has potential, but the terrible SFX and costume ruined it from the start.

In my opinion the creators should have realized that if you wanna portray demons, then you better make sure they look scary.

I don't know if there is anything like a B-tvseries like there are B-movies, but if there is, this is it.

I've seen this movie like 3 years ago, and it was on TV a week ago. I watched it again and i had to laugh equally loud as i did the first time.

This movie has every ingredient a good Road-Trip movie should have.

A adventure; seeking the long lost treasure of DB Cooper, hot chicks, redneck weedgrowing hillbillies, a protective bear, and the best of all are the 3 main characters. A superb casting score for this movie. The main characters are all very different in personalities big together they form a great bond. The scene in the burning weed field is one of the best ever! At a sidenote: there a many sidereferences to the starwars trilogie (the old one) I would recommend this movie to anyone who is in for an adventure of a lifetime and a evening full of laughs! Great great great movie!

I read on IMDb about this movie so i decided to rent it last week, expecting to see a beautyfull movie that could touch me.

Instead i got one of the longest 1,5 hour of my life. Such a boring movie about a spoiled little kid who thinks he's somekinda indiana jones or w/e.

Talking more about this movie would be ruining the ink on the keys of my keyboards.

don't see this movie... unless you have trouble sleeping

Ow IMDb wants me to put in 2 more lines before i may post this... So hope i can post this now and protect people from wasting money on this movie...

First i must state that this movie isn't meant to be offending, and anyone offended by it completely misses the point of this movie, and is most likely a whiner who see's everything as offending.

Now that thats out of the way, the movie: I loved the trailer and I love the first 15 minutes, because it was a great script-idea for a movie and it was just fun and absurd.

But the bad thing is that if you do that for 15 minutes, and then keep doing it for the rest of the movie too, its too much and in my opinion gets boring.

It isn't a bad movie, and T.C. (ill leave it like this to prevent spoiler) was funny, its just isn't as funny as i hoped it would be.

Great start, but too much of the same thing.

If I didn't see the trailer i would have probably have given a higher score, but the trailer got me so excited and the movie was a bit of a let-down.

I saw The Dark Knight last night. And although the movie itself isn't too bad, its not as good as the batman fanboys would like you to believe. The film has still a lot of flaws and the playtime is just too long. I've seen people walk out 30 minutes before the movie ended just out of pure boredom.

If they would have made the film at a faster rate it would have been a lot better.

Then there's batman's voice... Its absolutely absurt. Nobody talks like that. Well maybe Ned from Jimbo & Ned (SouthPark). But really it makes the whole movie one big joke.

The side-characters get far to little attention, I can't remember any of their names. Only positive thing about this movie is the Joker, who makes an interesting bad-guy.

I would have rated this movie a 6, because its not awful. But im going to give it a 1, just because the current rate (9,2) is totally overrated.

Like my title says: Thug Immortal is a great fan wanna-have... but if you must choose, go for Thug Angel. Much Better.

Anyways, Thug Immortal contains some great footage that I did not see before which was nice, like the episode about the Jungle, his temporarily home when he first came up in the industry.

Really, don't expect to be surprised by this DVD, its more like an overview about events the real fan already knows. Another downside is that there are no real performances on this DVD, on thing I would have liked to see.

If you already have Thug Angel and just want to have every thing about Shakur, this is really a nice collectors item, if only so you can place it on a shelf.

When I saw the trailer I got quite enthusiastic about this movie. I thought that this would be a great comedy experience and contain a political message with a SouthPark-like plot. What I saw when I watched the movie was a bad puppet play that is sometimes funny but will not crack you up. Even the all-star voice-over cast can't make this movie a hit in my opinion. Not that it's a bad movie… not at all, it just isn't that funny in comparison to e.g. SouthPark. I bet I'll get an argue out of this, like with a good friend of mine, because there are a lot of Team America fans, but in my honest opinion it just isn't all that they said it would be...

I gave showgirl a 5 because I can't choose between a 1 or 10. It really is a bad film, with bad actors and the whole concept behind the movie seems to be a marketing trick to get horn dogs to theatres. … But on the other hand, its so bad that I thought it was pretty entertaining to watch how bad this is… the bad stereotypical characters and the worst leading part ever by Elizabeth Berkley. But because she's acting so bad, its great fun to watch.

I would recommend this film to anyone who likes to watch B-films with A-film budgets and A-film direction. Or just if you like to see girls topless.

I expect this film to become (if it isn't already) a cult hit. It has all the ingredients for it. And I think that this film is memorable for it.

When I went to Sin City, I had high expectation because I had heard other people talk about how great it was, and I read the justified mark it got here on IMDb. Even when the credits where done scrolling, I could not grasp how incredible amazing this movie is. Well…. I could try to describe how absolutely superb the photography was, talk about the brilliant plot, the great acting by an assortment of famous actors and the film-noir sphere it sets, but that are items that belong to movies… and Sin City is NOT a movie… it's a motion comic. No really, it is… Just close your eyes a little so that you see a bit blurry and you really can't tell the difference. It's something you have never seen before. I even think this is going to become a top 10 classic.
