Awake now on DVD…is a surprisingly effective thriller… this rare modern horror effort that relies on suspense rather than bloodshed. The ads for this film tease you with the expectation of watching people go through the horror of physical awareness during surgery and in truth, you do experience one…but the main premise of the film ends up being irrelevant to the actual story line. First you are hit with one decent plot twist in the film…and then get the wind knocked out of you with another plot twist that caught me totally off guard. Both played perfectly into the storyline and were really well done.

August Rush is now available on DVD! A Fantastic movie with a talented
cast that also proves to be a wonderful display of how music touches us
all…if we take the time to listen. The storyline is loosely borrowed
from Oliver Twist made special by a dynamic trio of strong performances,
magical imagery and nonstop music.
An excellent movie for all ages. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and be
swept away by the magic of music.
Personally, I thought it was enjoyable…escapism. Not a history lesson. I didn’t go to the theater to get an education…but to sit back and let a good storyline coupled with my own imagination take me away…and this movie gave me what I expected.
The visuals were great…and I am a sap for a love story.
Remember…this is fantasy…not fact…if you do…you might like this one…I did.
This had the feel of a good action movie…similar to Mission Impossible…but after seeing the same scene played over and over…eight times…even though it was through different perceptions…you want to scream!
The concept seemed interesting but the movie fell short with all the repetition.
Not my cup of tea! Rental…maybe.
Definitely, Maybe
First of all…yes this is a chick-flick, it is entertaining and worth watching for no other reason than Ryan Reynolds…what a doll. He knows how to keep the laughs coming. At times it can be a little slow (could’ve been shorter)… a little unbelievable…and the ending was predictable…but all in all it’s a good feel-good movie and worth the price of your ticket.
Heartwarming and funny.
Be Kind Rewind…
You must love Jack Black in all his glory to appreciate this movie.Totally original and ridicules at the same time. Great if you justwant to laugh at…not critique movies.Jack Black and Mos Def ‘s comedic styles truly compliment each other…they make a good team.It wasn’t the funniest movie I’ve ever seen, but it is Jack Black..what more can I say. A very unusual movie… TRY IT…YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT!
Be Kind Rewind not Academy Award worthy…but worth your time, even if you decide to wait for the video.
