Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, creeps in... by Mary M  3 Stars
June 01, 2009
No, the film isn't based on Shakespeare. More like Scorcese. Unknown (at least to me) actors doing a creditable job with a mediocre, predictable script, with all the usual gimmicks, but still produced a film which moved right along and will yield a glimpse of a world unlike ours...at least I HOPE so. Money finds its way down and up the pecking order with blood stained, bruised, and greedy fingers. Low life stereotypes of all kinds vie for thug of the night.
Gambler/broker/daytrader lead was effective about 50% of the time and goofy the other 50%. Pretty woman "Ali" and main bad guy/cook make the most of their roles with only a touch of tongue in cheek.
Rent it, don't buy it, so that YOU won't have to pay up tomorrow...

Huh to the Huh? by Lauren C. Hunter (Seattle)  4 Stars
May 27, 2009
Alright, normally I do not produce reviews of reviews of movies. However Daniel J. Sorrell "Sherlock1c", you have compelled me to do so. First you impugn the incorrect "grammer" used by one of the reviewers of Player 5150. News Flash: It's spelled grammar. My browser has spell check. Does yours?
Secondly, you admit that you never saw Player 5150. So, what in the world are you reviewing it for???
Please crawl back under the rock from whence you came.
p.s. it's a decent movie. It's not a classic by any means but if you're looking for some inexpensive entertainment to pass the time on a weekend night, Player 5150 is a good bet -- no pun intended.

Huh? by Daniel J. Sorrell (New Jersey)  1 Stars
August 18, 2008
I haven't seen this movie yet; i just rented it from Blockbuster. I would, however, like to review the prior review; R.Bagula. Just what is that review supposed to mean? If incoherence were an art, you'd win a prize. Aside from bad grammer and nonsensical sentence structure, it degenerates into just a listing of random phrases. I'm not sure, are you talking about the movie or your dimwit friends?

Life style of the Young and Foolish by R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States) 3 Stars
June 16, 2008
Really about how not to live to a ripe old age.
A young stock broker gets into a lower level bookie
( a leg breaker type), while betting on football games.
One injury can make or break a football team.
I wish this didn't remind me of somebody in my own friends.
Gambling like drugs will get you...ruin the good
life you could have.
To Vegas and get back by dinner, oh, sure.
Get out of there while you can... stupid, stupid, stupid.
Beat up his wife and wants his house.
A bomb and federal agents...

Half of the fun of writer-director Andrew Jenkins' feature debut - a heist film that gets everything right about a crime that goes all too wrong - is keeping track of who is doing what to whom and why. Who is robbing the bank? What are they after? These are the simple elements that keep rearranging themselves as Jinx (Nick Stahl) and Jessica (Erika Christensen) find themselves trapped inside a vault, with bank-robber Simon (Gavin Rossdale), stuck on the other side of the vault door, and the...
