Reviews by Jimmy Tancredi

I started watching this movie out of boredom, for a few minutes before sleep and I found myself shivering at 4 o'clock in the morning wondering what the heck happened... I knew Darren Aronofsky was good after watching "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Fountain" but I didn't expect this... Anyway if someone stole the whole show that was Natalie Portman... she delivers the performance of a lifetime. Forget "Star Wars", "V for Vendetta" and keep a bit of "Leon" and "Garden State"...You are not the best young actress at the moment but you are definitely on the top one! If Natalie doesn't deserve an Oscar for her portraying of Nina Sayers then nobody ever did. This movie takes the story of dual personalities to a whole new level of unknown, which is beautifully portrayed by Natalie Portman, taking her to a spot where the Oscar doesn't look like just a dream anymore. It's a touching story, based around a small group of characters, and that's a place where Aronofsky is at his best (i.e. Requiem for a dream). Also, it would be unfair to forget Vincent Cassel, who showed himself in a totally different manner creating a strong, patriarchal character. In the end, this work of art is worth every single dollar and minute you spend on it. It's a guaranteed classic!

This truly is one of the most amazing movie. Superbly written and wonderfully produced. The entire cast delivers a sensational performance in this incredibly witty and charming independent film. A movie with real values and a real storyline, which is so hard to come by these days. Typical themes of everyday life love, friendship and self doubt are creatively and realistically explored. It is easy to identify with the characters, leaving you feel like a connection has been made between you and the movie, something that is refreshing in an era were films cover nothing more than war, terror and clichés. This is the sort of movie that you will want to share with all of your friends and family and watch over and over again. This is quite possibly the best movie I have ever seen!

Tons of slasher movies were released but only few are still in the memory of horror fans. "House On The Sorority Row" may be one of those films that are still remembered and recurred for some slasher fun. The House On The Sorority Row delivers a great slasher experience as it's gory, suspenseful, and very well directed. The acing and fun factor are interesting as you can imagine the outcome of the movie but you're never sure about it. The best thing about the movie is the creepy atmosphere. You can say the girls are terrorized while being inside the dark, big house. This movie was the producer's first and last experience in the industry. I think these people had a good potential in the genre. This movie is buried in the slasher cementery, just behind the precursor franchises of the genre.

Amanda Bynes proves to be a star again... the movie was hilarious. I laughed right from the first scene to the last. No other teen movie so far has been so funny and so lovable. The movie is based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It's about Viola (Amanda) whose soccer dreams are shattered when her school cuts the girl's team. Since the coach refuses to try the boy's team she takes revenge of them by disguising herself as Sebastian (her twin brother) and goes to his school(Illyria) while her brother goes to London for his Music. Amanda mets Duke (Channing Tatum) in the new school and he is in love with Olivia (Laura) who falls in love with Sebastian (Amanda) who loves Duke......The story revolves around Amanda's ambition to beat her old school soccer team. Her day to day experiences at new school are beautifully portrayed. Nobody could have done the character Sebastian so funny as she did. The movie is perfect for everyone... All the characters in the movie were well picked... Hats off to the director. The choice of Vinnie Jones as coach is Perfect.T hough soccer plays an important part,the movie deals with all emotions like strong friendship, true love, family, hatred, jealousy etc.. This movie is a must see for all Amanda fans.

I laughed so much in this movie. I found it sensational. I only haven’t words to define the zombies, I think the word genial says much thing. The Granny, the bride transvestite, the hairdresser crazy with the scissors, the owner of the sex-shop, the characterization was really sensational. I recommend, because it is fun. Only the ending was to be desired but what the hell, the whole movie worth it.

It was one of the few made me laugh out loud. The movie wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, the references to horror movies until the titanic is hilarious. The dialogues are completely stupid and smart at the same time, and not even know it was possible. And the story of zombies was just the icing on the cake. Blame this synopsis. And the protagonist is too much, her charisma is absurd, impossible not to root for her. Incredible movie.

This movie was a great movie and was far better than the original. In this movie they stretched out the opening scene of the original. There are more characters which makes it more interesting. This movie has more chase scenes in it, unlike the original which basically had one. The set is also a lot more likable. Jill's acting in this one isn't superb, but it's pretty good, and also it seems like she actually cares about the children in this one. The stranger's voice isn't half as scary as the original which is the only downfall. But, you don't see the stranger's face until the end, so it makes him even more scary. Over all I recommend this movie and would give it a solid B.

You’re trying know if the movie is good or not, don’t let that title influence your will, or even a tool pin-up without fun. Coz the movie is superb, really good. Diversion guaranteed. Sensational. In a manner of speaking, it’s a amazing attempt of put up two genres opposites on one. And it works, Perfect combination. It might not be the best, but it carries out what it promised: to entertain. Besides that, it’s the best kind of comedy, subtle, and it requires engagement of the bystander. Once you tune on the movie, agrees to be taken by non-sensise, you have a nice (literally, in the scenes superslow) and fun trip. And the technical part of the movie is impeccable, worthing each pixel of each frame.

This movie really gives a wide range of different thoughts, feelings, actions and things you might bump into in life. With excellent acting, brilliant filming and music that calms your mind, it's a home run. Hilary Duff goes beyond any movie you have ever seen her in, and delivers a performance worthy an Acadamy award, and with help from fantastic actors such as Evan Ross, Micheal Murphy, Melissa Leo and the always wonderful Ellen Burstyn, there is no doubt this movie is going to become dear to many people. This movie suits for everybody who has ever been young and confused, and offers a lot for the audience. Everyone will find something they like about this movie, or else they just won't admit it. Get yourself some fuel for thought, and watch this movie, you won't regret it.

It might seems one more teen movie at a school, but the idea of the movie goes furthermore. Mean Girls can portrays very well what really happens in the girl’s universe in that turbulent epoch which is adolescence, with ingredients such as: deceit, jealousy, boyfriend and fight for popularity. It also discusses the personality change that many have to fit through and be accepted by a particular group. A great movie for all ages and funny enough a good moral in the mix of it all.
