"New York, I Love You" is a sequel to an independent film, Pairs Je t'aime, which covered the love relationships of persons in Paris. This follow-up takes place in New York. As with most sequels, this film is not nearly as good as the original. In fact, the film is masked by obscure directors' intentions.
"New York, I Love You" is compiled of segments shot by several different directors. Leaving out the fact that this is a sequel, many audiences will find the film pointless. Not knowing about the premise, one would expect the storylines to intersect in the end, much like "Love Actually." Alas, they do not. Each segment is so bland that you just want to skip to the next one and then the next one and the next one, out wait we've reached the end of the film ...

In 2003, "Ong Bak" gained a cult following. Pirated copies spread around university campuses worldwide. Word spread and the film's martial arts sequences were touted as the next level in filmmaking. Tony Jaa has made a name for himself with his agility and stunts. He is quickly becoming a name to be compared against Jackie Chan and Jet Li. He could easily go mainstream.
As it stands, what made "Ong Bak" so popular was the fact that there was no CGI or wire work in the film. Audiences were astounded at this fact. In a world where martial stunts are all performed using stunt doubles and wires, the film was a real refresher.
"Ong Bak 2: The Beginning" is a prequel to the 2003 film. While the original was extremely low budget and looks even worse on the Blu-ray format, the sequel, ...

It is my sad duty to report that "Love Happens" is another typical Hollywood romance film that is quickly forgotten. In fact, this film appeared and disappeared in its initial release in no time flat. I held the disc trying to remember when or if this film was ever theatrically released. That should tell you all enough right there, but in case you need a bit more, here you go…
"Love Happens" is about a self-help guru, author guy named Dr. Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) and his love interest, Eloise (Jennifer Aniston). Ryan is in Seattle, giving a seminar to help people grieve and move on from losing their loved ones. Meanwhile, he meets the hotel florist, Eloise and immediately falls head over heels.
The problem with Ryan is that he lost his wife in a car accident three years earlier, which ...

"A Serious Man" is the latest from the Coen brothers. While it may appeal to some people, I failed to find it more than mildly entertaining. The film is based on the Jewish faith, and as a non-religious man myself, the use of faith as the basis for everything that happens becomes redundant.
"A Serious Man" takes place in a 1960s Jewish community. Professor Larry Gopnik is watching his life unravel right before him. Therein lies one of my major issues with the film. The character of Larry does nothing but "watch." There is no action taken. There are numerous points in the film in which I sit there going, "Why didn't he do this?" or "That would never happen."
Larry is struggling from a son that is always pestering him to fix the dumb antenna on the roof (not a major ...

At the outset I was hopeful while watching "Whiteout." However, as time dragged on so did the film. The film has had a complicated history and it shows in the final film. "Whiteout" is based on a limited comic and the film's story is just as limited.
The film was shot in a miserable Antarctic setting. The cold and misery shows on the actors. The actors also seem to start showing signs of a busted movie as time wears on. This is supposed to be a suspenseful film, but the mystery is dull and the turn of events of predictable.
In "Whiteout," Kate Beckinsale portrays a U.S. Marshal, Carrie, who is stationed by her own choice in Antarctica. She is punishing herself for a botched drug bust, which ended up not even remotely being her fault. She wastes her does taking reports ...
