Page Eight (2011 movie)
The cast list tells you this is going to be good and when that’s mixed with the writer, you know you’re on to a winner. The only disappointment with Page Eight is the length; it could have been three hours as opposed to one hundred minutes and every minute would have been as thoroughly entertaining.

Sunday, September 4, 2011
GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD focuses the imaginative and inspired eye of one of cinema’s most preeminent filmmakers on one of the world’s most influential men. The film takes viewers on the musical and spiritual voyage that was George Harrison’s life, much of it told in his own words. The result is deeply moving and touches each viewer in unique and individual ways.

Saturday, September 3, 2011
The screenplay, under its former title, is available all over the place on the internet. Presumably the listings spaces will be happier with ‘Friends with benefits’ for publicity. The screenplay moves along well although you shouldn’t expect this to be a Shakespearian masterpiece.

Friday, September 2, 2011
We’re all worked for Horrible Bosses at some stage of our careers, even if you count the time we turned burgers for what was called a living wage. Seeing them on the screen receiving their just deserts is a nice way to agree with the murdering motives of our three heroes.

Thursday, August 25, 2011
Yet another successful movie in the Scream series, but that should finally bring an end to the franchise. It’s been good and we don’t need another to leave it on a high. What’s good about Scream 4, like the first three, is that they’re not at all scary and although the screen is filled with fake blood, the actual murders are not filmed in graphic detail? So what’s it all about?

Tuesday, August 23, 2011
Describing this movie to another, you’d probably impede their chances of seeing The Beaver with Jodie Foster as the drama easily exceeds the logline. Excellent acting was needed to fight poor publicity when the movie was released with the publicity winning through, which is a shame as many millions will miss this treat.

Monday, July 11, 2011
Being a sucker for talking animal movies, Zookeeper provides simple fun for the whole family mixing some amusement with a tradition love story. The man gets the girl after not knowing she’s the right girl for him while he chases the wrong girl. The animals get to play lead roles and generally run the whole show.

Friday, July 1, 2011
How can it be that the Bridesmaids’ screenplay is funnier than the finished movie? The screenplay loses a lot between the page and the screen, while still proving to be one of the better films of this genre in 2011. So what’s it all about?
