Let me say this at the beginning; I saw the Discovery Channel show that told the true story with interviews (and cheesy reenactments) with the actual family. I liked the original story far better than the movie version. I encourage people to rent the Discovery Channel versions – just try not to laugh too hard [...]

Well, what is there to say about this movie? Very little. This review is late, so plenty of people have had time to say it better and probably funnier. Still I feel an obligation to write something, so here goes.
This movie is exactly what you expect. And incomprehensible mess about guys driving fast cards, doing [...]

Sadly, we did not see this movie in 3-D so I am not able to comment on how it looked there. But I suspect that I didn’t miss much by seeing it in 2-D, there weren’t that many scenes that screamed out for the 3-d expierience (except one at the beginning, but for heaven’s sake [...]

We went to see the afternoon showing of “Watchmen” and I have never been so happy to step out into a warm, sunny afternoon, then I was when we left that movie. It took a lot of sunlight tow wipe that dark apocalyptic, depressing vision out of my head. It was a long, dark movie [...]
Taken

Well, this is a little action movie with an actor you don’t expect to be an action star. Unfortunately, there was nothing new in this movie. Nothing you haven’t seen before. I admit it was refreshing to have a straightforward villain for once. No corporate issue, just a man taking young girls and selling them into [...]

I really had high hopes for this movie, and sadly it did not live up to them. This was a movie with dull characters, who did not seem to fit together well (why were all those kids on a trip together – they didn’t seem to even know each other, let alone like each other). [...]

Wow! Well, I admit I did learn a few new words while watching this movie. Not words I’ll ever end up using mind you, because I’m not a big fan of the racial epithet, but it is always nice to broaden one’s horizons.
Luckily, I’m not easily offended. I actually found the language and tone of [...]

If any of you are regular readers here at the ‘Tuss Reviews, then you know this fact already – for those of you who are not, let me say this clearly: I love 3D movies!
And this is the best of the new technology that I have seen. The 3D effects were really horrifiying, and still [...]
