Mini-Review: The idea behind this was great, but some parts just felt a bit too thin. A fun watch nonetheless.
Mini-Review: A great action flick that's much better than a lot of the other actions stuff around these days.
Mini-Review: On par for Pixar. Not quite as great as some had hyped it to be, but great nonetheless.
Mini-Review: This film is very good. It may turn some off, simply because it isn't watered down for the average viewer, like The Blind Side or other sports films of a similar nature. This is straight down the middle, a true baseball story, and well-acted on all counts.
Mini-Review: Michelle Williams was great in this movie. Unfortunately she was playing as unlikeable a character as there is. The movie isn't good. In fact, it's repetitive, and was hardly a story worth telling.
Mini-Review: A great film, although a bit too polished and clean cut at times. With issues like the ones dealth with by this film, not every moral and lesson need be laid out quite as clearly as it is here, and with just a touch of grit, this film could've been phenomenal. Instead, it's still great.
Mini-Review: Not one word spoken throughout the heart of the film, yet it tells a story better than just about anything Hollywood has released in a few years. And in the spirit of the film, nothing more than that needs to be said really...
Mini-Review: Cameron Crowe is back at the top of his game, proving you can have a clean film that people of any age can enjoy. Make no mistake, this is not a kids film (you'll find yourself blushing in certain scenes if you bring them), this film is superbly directed and you'll find yourself so immersed in this incredible tale of human experience, as Cameron Crowe can so often do to his audiences.
Mini-Review: This film was by no means bad, but it certainly doesn't deserve the accolades it's received. Mashing together every Oscar-nom cliche, from comas to infidelity to death, you don't automatically have the formula for a great film. This one is well-acted, but the story falls short of anything great. Forgettable.
Mini-Review: It's refreshing to see a film with a plot built around a pillar of creativity, especially when it's designed to help us learn to appreciate the world (and era) in which we live.
