Miller's Movie List!

8-28-2010 The Grand Theater Great To be quite honest this was a really stupid movie. What worked about it was the fact that they were really trying to make a stupid movie which made it outragiously entertaining. My only complaint is they spent way too much time developing a story and characters, we really don't care. Give us our dancers and are man eating fish! Piranha

7-26-2010 The Grand Theater Excellent This movie took a long time to get started and honestly it's pretty painful to get all the background neccesary to understand what's going on. Make sure you pay attention the first 45 minutes or you'll be lost for the rest of the movie. Once it gets going it's well worth the investement. It's a fun journey through different levels of dreaming with a satisfactory completion. Trailer

7-3-2010 The Grand Theater Excellent First of all, if you make a good movie you don't need 3D, unless you are trying to be visually astounding. The entire Toy Story series has no need to be such a spectacle. With that in mind, I decided to see the regular version instead of the 3D version. I suspect that there would be little difference in my review either way. Toy Story 3 was exactly what I thought it would be. It was fun and by the end you realize just how attached you are to the characters. You feel sad that Andy's all grown up. But don't worry Toy Story 3 has a great ending. My only criticism is that it took itself a little to seriously. There's a scene where all of our favorite toys are facing certain doom. This is not unlike any other cartoon movie, but I thought that the scene in this one was over the top dramatic. It switched to an adult move at this point that I don't feel was very kid friendly. I'm not a parent to shelter my children but I found this ...

6-28-2010 Countryside Cinema Great It would have been better if it wasn't a remake. However, Karate Kid has such a great fomula you didn't mind many things being the same as the original. In fact, I kind of got upset that it wasn't exactly like the original, only with different characters in a different setting. I though the main characters were too young. It's hard to relate to a love story with a 12 year old. Jaden Smith needs a new hair cut, he looks like a girl, no I mean he really looks like a girl. He needs also to stop acting in the same manner as his Dad. It just reinforces that he's too young to be an actor of his own making. Ok maybe I'm too picky, but it's just a thought. I thought Jackie Chan (who I'm not a big fan of) showed a great deal of emotion and acted very well, even if it was hard to understand him from time to time. Do not expect this to be as good as the original because it's not, however I think they got it right. Just like th...

5/16/2010 The Grand Theater Good I wonder what would happen if you were to watch Gladiator and Robin Hood at the same time. Now I don't know for sure but here's my guess. At exactly the same time you would have.... Big opening battle (Wow this is cool!) Blah-blah-blah-blah-plot-plot-plot-plot-plot Smaller but still cool battle. Blah-blah-blah-blah-develope the story, oh isn't that funny and clever... Another Cool battle scene Blah-blah-blah-blah- love-love-love-love Yeah kill that guy, I wish I could shoot an arrow like that. Blah-blah-blah-blah-oh that's why he's the way he is... Yes Big battle. The end. Let's get rid of the blah-blah-blah-blah and just give us 100 minutes of what we really want. Big Epice unrealistic battles! That's all I have to say about that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSqL9ygBCck

5/7/2010 The Grand Theater Excellent Well its about time! I suppose nearly 2 months between movies for a normal person is not unusual, but for me it's an eternity. Honestly there wasn't much in the last few weeks I wanted to see (Not that I had the time). Thankfully Iron Man II came along and did not disappoint . I was skeptical before watching the first Iron Man but was pleasantly surprised. This time I knew what to expect and got exactly what I expected, funny characters and good fun action. You're not going to be surprised by this movie, but you won't be disappointed either. Now do not worry, there are plenty of movies coming out in the next few months that I will definitely see. I haven't fallen completely off the wagon! Iron Man Trailer

3/13/2010 Wynsong Cinemas Clemmons Excellent Excellent but darn near superior. The only thing keeping it off the superior list is that fact that it just wasn't quite as good as the ones on the Superior list. I was worried that the movie was going to be more like a haunted house movie, but it wasn't. In fact all of the "supernatural" things happen only during dream sequences. The last 20 minutes of the movie are the best, and they really make the movie great. Even though I figured out what was probably going to happen, I was still surprised by the way it was all wrapped up. All in all some gret film-making. I fully recommend this one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYVrHkYoY80
