Bunny Lake is Missing, a review by GSyren
(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on August 8th, 2013) Push, a review by TomTitle: Push Year: 2009 Director: Paul McGuigan Rating: 12 Length: 111 Min. Video: Widescreen 2.35 Audio: English: DTS HD Master Audio Subtitles: English Stars: Colin Ford Joel Gretsch Djimon Hounsou Dakota Fanning Robert Tsonos Plot: Riveting Sci-Fi action thriller Push is set in a deadly world of psychic espionage where the ability to move objects using only the mind, see the future, create new realities and kill without ever touching the victim can turn a person into a lethal weapon - or a target. A young man (Chris Evans - Sunshine, Fantastic Four) and a teenage girl with extraordinary gifts (Dakota Fanning - War of the Worlds) take on a clandestine agency in a battle they can win only if they change the future. Awards: Commentary Deleted Scenes Featurettes Scene Access My Thoughts: This movie was part of the last FantasyFilmFest. But it was shown at a time which did not fit my schedule. When I saw that it was available at a reasonable price on Blu I have bought it. I must say I am disappointed with this movie. It was said to be some kind of "Heroes" rip-off. But the movie was a rather mess, in my opinion. The actors were not good. Dakota Fanning was rather disappointing. As a child actor she was rather good ("War of the World", even though she screamed a lot), but now a teenager she didn't seem to have improved. It felt rather awkward. The story is uninteresting. The different type of powers there are, are mostly fun to watch ("Pusher" - can control the mind, "Mover" - is telekinetic, "Watcher" - can see the future), but I really didn't like the "Bleeders", who emit high-pitched sounds. They really looked stupid doing so and it got very tired after the first time. I cannot recommend this movie. Rating: (From Tom's Random Reviews on September 18th, 2009) The 2013 Pilot Review, a review by DJ DoenaThe Millers The Millers @ IMDb The Millers @ Wikipedia Synopsis: After their son Nathan got divorced, father Tom (Beau Bridges, Stargate SG-1) finally feels free to leave his wife Carol (Margo Martindale, Dexter). While Tom suddenly moves in with their daughter Debbie (Jayma Mays, Glee), Carol moves in with Nathan. Laugh track comedy. My Opinion: I know these crazy schemes are a standard sitcome pattern but this time it just broke the show for me. Maybe it was just too early for a non-established character to pull one of these. I barely saw the appeal of the show in these first two episodes but I would have given it a chance because compared to Dads I found Beau Bridges' dad rather funny. But this whole fake death stunt made me seriously dislike the mom and whatever the show had going for it just vanished. (From The 2013 Pilot Review on October 11th, 2013) |
