Tranquil-Moon Movie Reviews

2012 (2009) Action/SciFi
We heard several things about this movie before we seen it, “sucked”, “too long”, “great”, “it was good, not great” – well, we do try to judge each movie for ourselves and to those that don’t like this type of movie we say – exactly what did you expect from Roland Emmerich.
This is [...]

Goodfellas (1990) Crime/Drama
OK! This is not a recent movie, however it’s timeless I don’t care when you watch it it’s worth it. This is arguably the best ‘gangster’ to come out of the 90’s.
The acting and directing is outstanding, it is so worth your time even if your a fan of any of the actors.

A Perfect Getaway (2009) Thriller/Drama
Unlike some other reviewers, we thought this a preety good psycholocgical thriller. It has some very tense moments and frankly the charactor ‘Nick’ was not so unlike others we had met on vacations in our own past.
Steve Zahn, we think, did the best with his portral as ‘Cliff’ a seemly whimpy, [...]

Gamer (2009) Action/Science Fiction
Had an opportunity to watch ‘Gamer’ last night, found it at least entertaining. The concept was pretty good and the charactor Castle had some dept but I felt Butler (Kable) was kind of typical Gerard Butler.
Lots of action and the effects were good.
Due Out On DVD and BluRay January 10, 2010
Plot Summary
Kable, [...]

The Tournament – Action 2009
Interesting story concept 30 assassins battling it out with only one winner and that winner takes it all. But there’s a twist, Father Macavoy, he doesn’t belong in the competition.
One of the contestants decides he doesn’t want to be tracked so he cuts the tracking device out and finds a way [...]

Tomboys – Horror 2009
These girls take the time to exact revenge on past abusers, men who have raped them.
The entire movie takes place on one set, a large shed, where the girls find ways to make it memorable to the rapists.
The audio on our edition was a bit garbled at times or maybe it was [...]

Star Quest The Odyssey – SciFi 2009
WOW! Here the movie to watch if you want something that barely makes sense, has a poor story line, drool acting and minimal direction.
The Odyssey, that’s the ships name, consists of some of the most disrespectful and rude crew members ever assembled.
Don’t waste your time at all, only two [...]

Star Trek – SciFi 2009
The tagline for this movie is:
“This is not your father’s Star Trek”
And the 10th or maybe 11th offering most certainly is not!
We are one’s who should know we have seen every episode of every series and every movie, repeatedly.
For those that have living in a cave or off planet Earth somewhere, [...]

Pandorum – SciFi 2009
This is a “must see” for Science Fiction fans, an extremely well made, acted, written and directed.
Special F/X is quite real appearing and believable, the acting skills of Dennis Quaid as Payton and Ben Foster as Bower alone are worth the price.
Started, to us, as a somewhat standard “we need to survive” [...]

Outstanding and well acted, Forest Whitaker’s performance in The Last King Of Scotland overwhelms just as I would imagine the real life Idi Amin would have dominated.
Mr. Whitaker plays the former Ugandan President Idi Amin to an exceptional level. His portrayal of the psychotic dictator was totally believable.
As the story progresses Whitaker takes the part [...]
