About me - Tony Tanti

I write movie reviews as a hobby mainly because I love telling people what I think of movies, I'm fascinated by how different two people's experience of the same piece of art can be.

I rate movies I've seen recently and I even throw in the odd tv show review.

Entertainment > Movies (Other) Is it better to watch movies in theaters or DVDs at home?: 1 of 87

I love movies and I used to love going to the theatre. It was always a unique experience and incredibley fun and relaxing. I have to admit though that I go to theatres very seldom these days. I thought the main reason was just the $40 it costs for my wife and I to go and also buy candy (you can't go to the movies without can...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: 300: 2 of 59

The feature film '300' is purely entertainment. if you expect nothing more, you will likely enjoy it as much as I did. This is the cinematic version of Frank Miller's graphic novel by the same name. It is the retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. where 300 Spartans held the Persian Army of thousands for three da...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews : Paris, Je T'aime: 1 of 4

If you love movies you owe it to yourself to see Paris Je T'aime. This was one of the most rewarding, moving, and fun movie watching experiences I've ever had. If you have not heard of Paris Je T'aime you need to know a few things first. This is not really a movie at all, it's a collection of 18 short films related to each o...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Iron Man: 13 of 42

Iron Man - $8 Despite predictions to the contrary from one of my favorite readers, I did enjoy Iron Man immensely and I line up with the many critics who are praising this entertaining movie. I can't wait for the sequel. Iron Man is based on the Marvel comic by the same name and is the story of Tony Stark, the head of a US w...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: American Gangster: 5 of 16

The true story of Frank Lucas comes to life in American Gangster and in the end the audience is left with so much more than a bio movie, this is one of the best movies of 2007. Frank Lucas took over the heroin trade in New York after the French Connection dope dried up in the 1970's. Lucas found a way to bring better heroin ...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Spider-man 3 (2007): 7 of 18

Spider-Man 3 - $2 Spider-Man 3 made a lot of money. It is an action packed movie with amazing special effects which appealed to a broad audience. Unfortunately Spider-Man 3 is not a good movie. It is in fact terrible. This 3rd installment is a massive disappointment in comparison to the far superior 1st and 2nd movies of thi...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Stranger Than Fiction: 8 of 18

Stranger Than Fiction - $9 Despite the fact that I am a fan of Will Ferrell I must admit that it was with surprise that I watched Stranger Than Fiction and enjoyed it immensely. I knew this was not a comedy in the tradition of most Will Ferrell movies but still I did not expect the touching and superbly written dialog that S...
Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Movie predictions: Evan Almighty: 3 of 6

Plausibility is a major factor in the enjoyment of any movie, this is one of many reasons that I didn't enjoy a single moment of the completely implausible Evan Almighty. When I say Evan Almighty was implausible I don't mean the supernatural parts of its plot line. Anytime a movie has supernatural elements in its premise I'm...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Ratatouille: 13 of 19

Ratatouille is without question the most visually stunning animated movie I've ever seen, this does not necessarily make it the best, but even if it's animation were the only positive, Ratatouille would still be worth seeing. Ratatouille is the story of a rat named Remy who is tired of eating the garbage his colony collects ...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Hot Fuzz: 20 of 29

Hot Fuzz - $8 I watched Hot Fuzz alone, sadly enough, but when you watch a comedy alone it is the true test of the humour. Hot Fuzz had me laughing out loud throughout and to me that automatically makes it a winner. Hot Fuzz is the story of Nicholas Angel, an overachieving London police officer who is transferred by his supe...
