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 > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Spider-man 3 (2007): 3 of 26

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... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Shooter: 2 of 10

Shooter - $2 Shooter is not worth your time. Shooter is a self indulgent and intellectually bankrupt action movie. The main problem is that it thinks it's a complex, conspiracy-revealing thriller. It is not. Mark Wahlberg gives a good performance as Bob Lee Swagger, a world renowned sniper hired to find out how someone might... More..

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.

Entertainment > Movie News & Previews Movie predictions: Evan Almighty: 3 of 11

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... More..
Entertainment > Movies (Other) Is it better to watch movies in theaters or DVDs at home?: 31 of 112

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... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: 300: 31 of 93

300 - $8 300 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 days which, it... More..

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Superman Returns: 18 of 37

Superman Returns - $3 Superman has returned to earth and he looks younger than when he left. Why did he leave you might ask? He went to see if Krypton had in fact blown up as he had always believed since human astronomers had apparently spotted it intact. It took him 5 years to find out the astronomers were wrong and return.... More..
