Great.

Posted : 3 months ago on 6 July 2008 02:49 (A review of The Bucket List)

"The Bucket List" is an emotional and moving film featuring two amazing actors to fit the parts. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are great on screen together. They really shine. This film was no exception. Rob Reiner was a great addition as the director of this film. "The Bucket List" is one of the best films of 2007. It made me shed a few tears, and respect life a lot more. If you have not seen this film, then please, do yourself a favor, and do so.

True Classic.

Posted : 3 months ago on 3 July 2008 03:54 (A review of Reservoir Dogs)

"Reservoir Dogs" is truly a classic film not to be forgotten. The story has all of the ingredients of a gem. Seven complete strangers team up to rob a bank. Neither of them know each others names. They just refer to each other as colors. They think they have it all planned out when the news leaks out of the robbery. What coincides after that is epic. Will the many obstacles prevent them from pulling off the perfect crime?. "Reservoir Dogs" is an epic story, of friendship and trust, that any moviegoer should experience. This film is unforgettable, and arguably Tarantino's best. This film is flawless.

No.

That is the only word for this film. It was funny when I was younger, but when I think back on it, it surely is a ridiculous film. From the babies talking, to the babies beating up adults. This film is only good if you really are looking for literally stupid humor, but even then, I don't think this film is very funny.

Honestly Frightening.

Posted : 3 months ago on 2 July 2008 10:04 (A review of An Inconvenient Truth)

I would have given this film a higher rating, but to be honest with you, it frightened me quite a bit with all of that end of the world talk, and why it is bad to use electronics and so forth, but I actually learned a valuable lesson from this film, and it taught me something. I learned that global warming actually is eventually going to happen, and it is not worth pretending that it won't. This film did a good job at putting those facts together, into one huge presentation to show the world. I enjoyed this film a lot.

A Very Fun Film.

Posted : 3 months ago on 2 July 2008 09:56 (A review of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence)

I highly enjoyed this film and the idea of it. It was much different from any other science fiction films I have seen, and I was greatly surprised. I enjoyed the film from beginning to end. Yes, it was a little off beat, and quite strange, but I personally highly enjoyed this one. Not one of Spielberg's best, but it is worth a watch.

Not Bad.

Posted : 3 months ago on 2 July 2008 09:49 (A review of 13 Going on 30)

I highly enjoyed this film. It was good for a laugh or two, and it had a pretty decent story, along with a great cast. They pulled it off well. I don't think "13 Going 30" is a great film, nor even a very good film, but I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a quick film, and not a masterpiece.

A Moving Film.

Posted : 3 months ago on 2 July 2008 09:44 (A review of Cool Hand Luke)

"Cool Hand Luke" is a truly moving film. It is a classic that should be viewed by all great film lovers. Paul Newman is perfect for the role, and does an amazing job as Luke. You know right as the film starts that he is a great actor, and the film is going to be great. "Cool Hand Luke" tells the story of a drunk named Luke who is taken to prison after several mishaps with destruction of property. When he arrives, he has no friends, and he is liked by no one, and is always getting challenged by the inmates, and teased by them, and so on. Luke is able to push through with peace opposed to violence. What he is able to overcome, is moving, and a joy to see. "Cool Hand Luke", is an excellent film, that I will remember for years to come. If you are going to see classic film and haven't seen this, then I suggest you do.

Great Movie.

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 1 July 2008 01:27 (A review of License to Wed)

Yes, this film is ridiculous and outrageous at some points, but that is expected. The film was just made for laughs, not a cinematic masterpiece. I personally thought it was a very funny film, featuring some great performers that pulled it off quite well. I did not walk into the theater expecting greatness, but just a fun time at the Movie Theaters, and that is what I got. "License To Wed", is a fun, and very entertaining film. If you are looking for a great time with friends, and film that will make you laugh, then I recommend this Film.

An Average Action Film.

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 1 July 2008 01:21 (A review of The Island)

"The Island", was in some ways a disappointment. The action scenes were average, but they were very predictable, and for the most part, not very entertaining. I was expecting a much more exhilarating film, with more genuine scenes, and a few more plot boosts. "The Island", is just your typical action/science fiction film, with a pretty interesting and unique plot. There was one aspect I was fond of however, and that was the comedy. This film was genuinely funny. I also thought they did a good job with the fight sequences, and car chases. So overall, a good solid film.

Entertaining, But A Little Dull.

Posted : 3 months, 1 week ago on 30 June 2008 03:36 (A review of Wanted)

"Wanted" is a highly entertaining film with some spectacular action scenes, and a good car chase. I was into the film for the first fifteen or twenty minutes, where Wesley was explaining his life, and his problems. After all of that the film kind of got repetitive and dull. I always caught myself waiting for something more to happen. I highly enjoyed the training process, and great action scene at the end of the film, and the last scene, but this film just wasn't well paced enough for me, and it had a lot unrealistic matrix type stuff too. I highly enjoyed this film, it just was not great.
