Batman Begins (2005,  PG-13)
Batman Begins 5.0 Stars
the best sound and cinematography Ive ever seen in a movie. a great restart to a film series about this figure of american mythology. every actor delivered leaving me salivating for the next films in the series. the training sequence was brilliant and the development of the character bruce wayne was as complete and interesting as one could have hoped for. my favorite film of all time.

Cinderella Man (2005,  PG-13)
Cinderella Man 4.5 Stars
one of the most well acted films ever made, this is a touching sports masterpiece in an era where sports movies are all cliche and predictable. brilliant. i had to take off a half a star because of the inaccurate and unfair treatment of max baer in the film, but other than this point this film is perfect.

i usually hate these corny movies, but this one is fantastic. i laughed out loud at this silly movie and watched it at least three times the week it came out. this is one of those movies i saw with my friends and talked about for some reason, cementing it into my list of favorites.

King Kong (2005) 4.0 Stars
you never want to take your eyes off of the screen. They should have put the wall deeper into the island and a few other cues should have been taken from the original and the 70's version, but this was great. jackson cemented himself as a good director with such a solid follow up to LOTR.

i loved this flick. great subtle humor and very clever. you really have to pay attention to this film to get some of the nuances behind the humor and that gromit is a great character.

Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City 3.0 Stars
a strong story, interesting cinematography and set design, excellent music, and perfect cast would have given this film what it needed to become an instant classic and one of my favorite films. unfortunately a few vulgar, typical, and pointless contemporary movie devices plagued this film a bit to take it down a few notches to an above average film. could have been great, was still pretty good.

really good flick. the twist was a little predictable and its ard to root for anyone in this film, even clive owen, but it was vry entertaining. the last 15 minutes of the film didnt need to be there, the film would have ended better at the hotel shoot out, but overall a solid film.

usually i hate movies that go too far over the top. this movie went way over the top on at least a few occasions but i still really enjoyed this movie. it was charming, combining action and comedy and pitt and jolie had great chemistry. there were flaws in the thinking and execution of the movie, but it was fun to watch.

the worst of the six, anakin was a little whinny punk the entire time and all he id was murder little kids and get set on fire. he should have been the one to hunt down the jedi. i was one of the few who liked the new trilogy until this one ruined the story. im not sure i can look at darth the same way again, the new trilogy should have left him looking tuff before obiwan beat him, instead he let the clones do the real work. weak.

Havoc 2.5 Stars
basically "kids" or "mi vida loca" for a new generation. more sensual than i was expecting, and pretty silly and even a bit trashy. much like its predecessors in this sub-genre. not a waste of time because it was interesting from a sociological perspective, but nothing to recommend.

although the music was pretty good and a few of the performances were solid, this film was an overall dissapointment. the plot was scattered and unclear and the story was told in fast forward. bravo for attempting to tackle tough subjects, but contraversy doesnt automatically make a good film.

terrible, maybe even half a star. boring and pointless, shows the depravity of war rather than the glory, which doesnt make for a good film to watch. makes marines look less like heroes and more like silly high school kids. this may be realistic but that doesnt make it a good film to watch. i only gave it 1 star because jamie fox was good in this one.
