It is not bad, but it is not great either, it is right up the middle. The brightest aspect of this picture is definitely Madeline Carroll who plays Molly Johnson, Bud Johnson s (Costner) daughter. http://www.smartcine.com/swing_vote_review.html Sat, 02 Aug 2008 05:08:25 GMT In a summer filled with exceptional blockbusters, I was hoping for the mummy to make his way up as one of my season s favorite, probably was the level http://www.smartcine.com/the_mummy_tomb_of_the_dragon_emperor_review.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 06:08:25 GMT The movie does have a bunch of funny scenes, but it does not quite live up to its predecessor. http://www.smartcine.com/dvd/harold_and_kumar_escape_from_guantanamo_bay_dvd_review.html Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:02:20 GMT This film plays very similar to an extended The X Files regular episode, and it still has plenty of intelligent writing, strong performance, mystery and tension that makes this show a classic http://www.smartcine.com/the_x_files_2_review.html Sun, 27 Jul 2008 06:00:20 GMT The Dark Knight continues where Batman Begins left off creating what could be considered an epic crime story that transcends the superhero genre. http://www.smartcine.com/the_dark_knight_review.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:00:20 GMT While the setup of the movie was a little complicated because of the characters and situations they introduces in the first ten minutes, it all starts to make sense about thirty minutes into the movie. http://www.smartcine.com/dvd/the_bank_job_blu_ray_review.html Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:00:44 GMT The story line for this film is really simple but sufficient as you would expect it to be for a fairy tale. The script was just the same with some clever use of pig related lines and humor. http://www.smartcine.com/dvd/penelope_dvd_review.html Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:00:20 GMT As I watched the movie s different trailers my expectations grew bigger and bigger, and I do not considered myself disappointed after watching the movie. http://www.smartcine.com/hellboy_2_the_golden_army_review.html Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:20:27 GMT This journey is a feast for the eyes, a buffet of visual stimulation and hearty adventure. Of course it is the 3D that takes it over the top and makes it worthwhile.

Yet it is their feelings which transmit that sense of humanistic traits that helps to bring life to the characters and enhance the story. http://www.smartcine.com/walle_review.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:05:20 GMT What really makes Wanted stand out is the conflict and drama in it is story. The writers did a lot more than just set up the story and let the action take over which is unusual for these type of movies, but a welcomed surprise. http://www.smartcine.com/wanted_review.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:05:20 GMT The story itself is great, now the approach and delivery of the whole staff is fantastic.
