Transformers (2007,  PG-13)
Transformers
Being a big Transformers fan I saw this film on when it released on DVD. If your looking for a film exactly like the 80's cartoon you will be disappointed, but if you watch it with an open mind you will really enjoy it. I watched Transformers and I thought it was excellent. For those hardcore fans out there you must watch and except that things are happening for a reason. the story has more than meets the eye (knew I had to throw it in there somewhere). Don't be discouraged when the first hour is setting up the plot. This is one of many films to come as you will see when it's all done. They are taking their time and doing this story right. The film is none stop action, with a good storyline and amazing special effects... love it!. I know that's a bold statement, but it's true.
Bottom Line: Hardcore fans keep an open mind...
Non-Fans Welcome to our world now!
See why we're fans...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009,  PG-13)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
After waiting two long years, Revenge of the Fallen is finally here. And let me just say one thing: This is the reason why people go to the films. Michael Bay has given us a true summer blockbuster here people. Sure, this won't be The Dark Knight or win any Oscars, but its silly explosive fun, just what we need in these days. The film runs nearly three hours, but fortunately, it never slows down. The acting has well improved over the last film. Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf are all grown up now, and more believable action stars this time around. The best part about this film is that there are a lot of Autobots vs Decepticon fights. You'll be cheering for the good guys in the first 10 minutes of the film, and won't stop till the credits begin to roll. There are a lot of new characters this time around, and I'm sure the audience will fall in love with the twins because they definitely steal the show. Overall, this film has everything you look for in a summer flick. Big fancy explosions (Bay style), fights that will take your breath away, comedy, hot boys/girls and even a little bit of romance thrown in there.

The Hangover (2009,  R)
The Hangover
It's a really funny film. The storyline is really good and I found it very creative and exciting. You will enjoy every minute of it, I was nearly out my seat laughing. The acting is great, many charactors that we may not know them very well and have not seen are in this film; however, trust me, these people know how to act and how to make you laugh. It is very well-done directed and edited. It is a great film because you will watch a film fulfilled of funny moments and events which are new and unique! Strongly recommended because it is worthed.

The Proposal (2009,  PG-13)
The Proposal
Romantic comedy is now days so popular genre that finding a flick that is both funny and throughout entertaining is actually really hard. Luckily The Proposal is both.

The story itself is quite predictable and simple. But the cast delivers. Especially the leads Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock show some what surprising comical talent. They both have great sense of comedic timing, and share a great chemistry. And the always hilarious Betty White is the one who steals the show every scene she is in. And because of that you keep enjoying throughout the movie, having some good laughs and just having a good time.

The Proposal is well above average in its genre. It's not the best romantic comedy out there but it's good fun and nice way to spend an evening.
5
Scarface (1983,  R)
6
The Descent (2006,  R)
The Descent
Prepare yourself for your worst nightmare, because once it starts, it doesn't stop until the end.

Just brilliant!!! The 'negative' character is built in a very realistic way to scare your spirit off.

To me, this was a FLAWLESS horror movie that couldn't have been done better! Must be seen, but go to the gym and get your muscles in shape cause you might have to hold your lover or mate all the way through (if they do not ask you to leave before it's over!).

Enjoy!

Seven (Se7en) (1995,  R)
Seven (Se7en)
Well-crafted and ingeniously clever, making it one of the greatest films of the 90's.
8
Final Destination (2000,  R)
Final Destination
Inventive, effectively eerie spine-chiller is a step up in the teen horror genre. Teenager Sawa has a horrific vision of his plane crashing just moments before its departure on a class field trip. He and several others exit the plane only to discover that it does in fact crash, but things take a shocking turn when the remaining survivors soon begin to die in the most mysterious ways. Story is intriguing, the suspense flows well throughout, and there are enough violent deaths to satisfy the target audience. The ending is a bit of a disappointment and should have been planned out better, but overall this is one of the better films of the genre.

Green Street Hooligans (2005,  R)
Green Street Hooligans
Very powerful and close to the mark. LEGEND!!

Interview with the Vampire (1994,  R)
Interview with the Vampire
I love how this films explores all of these deep, important issues whilst delivering an incredibly powerful story populated by charismatic characters, haunting and diverse settings and immortal dialogue

30 Days of Night (2007,  R)
30 Days of Night
LOVE VAMPIRE FILMS AND DARK GORE SO THIS IS A MUST!!!
12
The Lost Boys (1987,  R)
The Lost Boys
This film to me is more of a comedy than a horror. The scenes I remember most are the funny ones. Not to say it is a pure comedy, it isn't. It is though a very good vampire tale. The cast is superb, even Corey Haim and Feldman. This is definitely the best film they did together. All in all I love this film and it is one of my favourite vampire flicks. Good mixture of action, horror, and especially for me...comedy. It is so very well made that you will find it hard to believe that the director of this would go on to make the pretty bad "Batman and Robin". This film though is good, and has one of the best ending lines of any film.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) (2001,  PG)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)
This movie is a delight for those of all ages. I have seen it several times and each time I am enchanted by the characters and magic. The cast is outstanding, the special effects delightful, everything most believable. It's the ultimate fantasy for young and old.
14
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002,  PG)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Very, very good. Especially love the character Dobby and the ability it gives the viewer to consider the gray areas of good and evil. Makes for some discussion fodder after the pop and popcorn are gone.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004,  PG)
16
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005,  PG-13)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I went to see this film with my sister, our mate Cory and his dad on the night it released, I was hoping that it would not drag, being so long. Having read the book, I knew it was a long story with much to cover. Though there could have been traps to make it drag, I was very pleased with the fine way they found to smoothly link everything together and not lose the spirit of the things they had to leave in the book. I did enjoy this HP film, I found it vastly more appealing to the other series. This was a fine movie and all involved with its creation and presentation to the big screen for our enjoyment deserve kudos. Special effects were wonderful, and the devotion to the written story was exemplary! We only wish it would have been shown on our stealth cinema with stadium seating instead of the standard screen. My favourite of the Harry Potters.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007,  PG-13)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
This part in the series, really ups it's game, with some pretty impressive special effects and a much better storyline than the last part. I feel more could have been made of the character played by Helena Bonham Carter as she is so suited to this type of film. Great entertainment.
18
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009,  PG)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Most everything about the film is different--the characters have definitely matured, Hooper's score is better (thank goodness), the special effects have improved, and even the castle itself has a different feel to it...cold and covered in shadows. It's a refreshing touch, though. The series NEEDS constant change, or else it would become quite stale...

There are many funny moments in the film, and the hormones are definitely raging. But, relationships aside, there is also a darker side to the newest Potter entry. Dumbledore and Harry try to unlock the secret to Voldemort's past. Harry must retrieve a precious memory from a long-lost friend of Dumbledore's (an excellent Broadbent).

The last thirty or so minutes are marvelous. In particular, there is a scene in which Harry and Dumbledore must venture into a protected vessel of Voldemort's soul...very creepy, very emotional...it was well-done.

Ending is surprising. Quite sad, really. I don't want to spoil anything.

But it's a wonderful thing to see how much this series has progressed. Epic is definitely a word that may be used to describe Half-Blood Prince. But I'm even more looking forward to the next two installments a must-see.

Never Back Down
Excellent fight scenes make it a must for martial arts fans
22
Twilight (2008,  PG-13)
Twilight
Surprisingly good, of course it is sometimes a bit sugary, but that's to be expected in a teenage love story. Catherine Hardwicke did a great job, I love her edge. The casting director did well in choosing actors not movie stars to flesh out the book. Robert Pattinson plays the 'Hero' with the right amount of self-loathing and swagger. Kristen Stewart is believable and has a wonderfully tough vulnerability. You can almost see the supporting cast holding back a smile or grin, which made it even better. The Pacific Northwest looks gorgeous. It is a very important character in the film. Twilight made me want to take a trip to Oregon and Washington. A walk along the Cannon Beach coastline or canoe down the Salmon River would be lovely. And it would be worth every penny to hire a guide to hike to the stunning Multnomah Falls. Twilight's target audience will definitely see this movie several times. I believe the film will reach the magic box office number it needs to make sequels : )

The Transporter (2002,  PG-13)

Jason Statham is lush!!! An excellent action film!

Just as good as the first 1

Rebel Without a Cause (1955,  PG-13)
Rebel Without a Cause
James Dean is an unbelievable actor. Basically his whole career consists of only three movies he acted in just right before his tragic death. Yet still, almost 50 years later people recognize his name and face. He's an icon of the 1950's and in the same line with Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley. That's simply miraculous, movie history knows no other example of anything like it. I personally consider Jimmy as one of my favorite actors too. Of course he is a sensational talent and maybe it's partly because he really had only three big performances so no one ever saw him actually doing something wrong, choosing a bad role or whatever. I personally think that James Dean would have been nearly as big if "Rebel without a cause" was his only movie. His devoted, stylish and touching larger-than-life performance as Jim Stark is just startling experience to watch. Legendary "Rebel without a cause" is a timeless drama and in many ways it's far from being old fashioned. It's moving, beautiful and incredibly impressive, the best movie of its decade and one of the best movies ever made. Period. 10/10.
26
East of Eden (1955,  PG)
East of Eden
The early, violent death of someone so famous was a tragedy; but for someone who's never seen a Dean performance ("East of Eden" is his only movie I've seen to date; it has since been joined by "Rebel Without a Cause" as of Nov. 2007) it's easy to get suckered by these details into believing that this is the only thing that adds substance to the man. Not so. In "East of Eden" he delivers an intense performance as, unsurprisingly, an enigma; an individual too sensitive for life in his own world. It sounds from this as if it could well be similar territory to "Rebel Without a Cause", and given the events it's also perhaps not too far away from the real person - but nevertheless it's a striking portrayal that shows unmistakable 'fire' and talent. James Dean is not one of those people who've come to be mythologised due to outside circumstances entirely beyond their control; for the consummate skill in his craft and the posthumous Oscar recognition brings something just as weighty to the table. About as far removed from the Orlando Bloom poster boy of his generation as it's possible to be, my expectations were completely trumped. There was real depth present, too.

All else is at least good, but it's the memory of a sobbing Cal all at once being transformed into a creature of hidden menace that I will take away with me. A riveting display from a fine actor, and undoubtedly a lasting testament to a lamentably short career. 9/10.
27
Men in Black (1997,  PG-13)
Men in Black
One of the best sci-fi comedies ever made
28
Michael Jackson - Moonwalker (1988,  G)
Michael Jackson - Moonwalker
The first time I saw this "film" I loved it. When I was 6, I was more interested in the music and dancing. As I've gotten older, I've become more interested in the acting and animation as well. While the first half is just a retrospective of Michael's career (from the Jackson 5 up to "Bad"), it was still entertaining to watch. The "Badder" sequence could've been left out, though the kids were pretty good. "Speed Demon" and "Leave Me Alone" were funny, especially when the police officer tells Michael, "I need your autograph right here", after stopping him for dancing in a no-dancing zone. But it's "Smooth Criminal" that's the icing on the cake. Joe Pesci did an excellent job as the toughie (and that hair was wild). The dancing is perfect, and so are the special effects. The only thing I could have done without was the spiders. Any fan of Michael's should see this, if you haven't already. I give it a 7+!
29
Running Scared (2006,  R)
Running Scared
This was an extremely graphically violent film with some gratuitous nudity. A lot of extremely well played roles. characters were simple with complex backgrounds. It kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire film wondering what was next. I left feeling like I had just had a two hour seizure. Every time you thought you had it figured out it threw a curve at you. From beginning to end it was fabulous and realistic. Paul Walker gave an excellent performance and you really got into his skin. The supporting cast was excellent, development of the characters rolled out in a believable manner with out a bunch of unnecessary revelations. I will buy this movie when it comes out on DVD. If you enjoyed Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction you will probably really enjoy this film.

Saving Private Ryan (1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
It's really good HISTORICAL fiction. The details were well thought out and based on reality.

Taken (2009,  PG-13)
Taken
Surprisingly good... Liam Neeson is the man of the hour







FUCKIN AWESOME THIS FILM!!! LIAM NEESON IS THE MAN!!!
32
The Departed (2006,  R)
The Departed
a must see film
33
Enchanted (2007,  PG)
Enchanted
I didn't think I would really like this film, but I actually loved it. Some parts were just hilarious and I thought it was adorable especially Pip the Chipmunk. Amy Adams gives a great performance that is impossible to love. There's some satire, not much; overall, the humour is light, harmless and shows a great compilation of fairytale cliches.
34
Halloween (1978,  R)
Halloween
CLASSIC!!!
35
The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight
An imperishable, spectacular and chaotically-brilliant film
36
Save the Last Dance (2001,  PG-13)
Save the Last Dance
The music and dancing are a real highlight. The hip-hop scenes are very fun and energetic and one of the best aspects of the film, also the scenes where Derek is teaching Sara how to dance is when the film is at its best...

I really recommend this film because it was very enjoyable and shouldn't be written off as just another teen flick. Check it out... me and me m8 Kaylie love it!!
37
Defiance (2009,  R)
Defiance
Very impressive film, the storyline was gripping and interesting. Daniel Craig and Jamie Bell were fantastic.







GRIPPING STORYLINE!!! GREAT CAST... JAMIE BELL WAS AMAZING HE DID A GOOD JOB AT HIS PART... AS DID CRAIG AND SCHRIEBER

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Ice Age 3) (2009,  PG)
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (Ice Age 3)
I was really impressed by this film. A problem that many sequels run into is that they rely too heavily on the name of the franchise and hope it will blind the audience into liking a mediocre film. This film didn't have that. It truly stayed true to the characters and themes we have grown to love in the Ice Age franchise. In this instalment, Manny and Ellie's child is on the way. Manny has a tough time and is nervous about becoming a father. Ellie, on the other hand, is very excited and feels ready. Diego worries he is going 'soft', and struggles with his desire to be a strong, intimidating tiger once again. Upon being around so much 'baby excitement', Sid feels like he wants some kids. His wish is granted when he stumbles upon three eggs, which hatch and are revealed to be dinosaur eggs. Thus, our adventure begins. Needless to say, most of the key characters have inner struggles that they are dealing with. The film also introduces a new character, a crazy cool weasel named Buck. After the film, my boyfriend told me Buck reminded him of Jack Sparrow from the acclaimed 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise. I see the resemblance, as Buck is a little on the wild side and has a hunger for adventure. The animation was beautiful. With each film in the series, the animation gets better. The scenery and colors were great, and the characters were well done as well. The film moves at a fast pace and has many laughs along the way. It's a great adventure and I really think it will be popular when it hits theaters. The script was pretty good, the soundtrack was excellent, and I really can't pin point anything that is extremely wrong with this movie. It stands well on its own, so newcomers will be able to enjoy it easily, all while keeping the same spirit of the first two, which is sure to please fans from day one.

Top Gun (1986,  PG)
Top Gun
TOP GUN rocks, plain and simple... it completely takes my breath away lol
41
The Bourne Identity (2002,  PG-13)
The Bourne Identity
A descent, realistic spy film... most of the action scenes are believable, no super-gadgets are to be seen, no incredibly lovely models fall madly in bed with Bourne, and the hero shows definite signs of physical vulnerability despite a very high level of training and competance.
42
The Bourne Supremacy (2004,  PG-13)
The Bourne Supremacy
Excellent film, the acting is brilliant and Matt Damon fits the part perfectly.
43
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007,  PG-13)
The Bourne Ultimatum
It is a perfectly satisfying conclusion, and should stand the test of time as a fantastic movie, and altogether, an unforgettable trilogy.
44
Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club
This is one of the greatest cult films of the modern era
45
My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009,  R)
My Bloody Valentine 3-D
This film is worth watching if you love a great horror film. I went to see this at the pictures with my mate Katy, and everyone in there was laughing, jumping and also getting scared! Plus it stars Supernatural's Jensen Ackles. His acting was awesome, as usual. So If you love Jensen Ackles like me, you will love this!
46
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984,  R)
47
Rain Man (1988,  R)
Rain Man
Best acting performance I have ever seen
48
Drag Me to Hell (2009,  PG-13)
Drag Me to Hell
I thought this film felt much more than an average, predictable horror popcorn flick. It's filled with plenty of twists and turns and, like any good ride, a satisfying conclusion. Much to my surprise, the horror and comedy in this film are that rare perfect mix of perfection that one craves in horror films. If too funny, they can go overboard, but not this one. In fact, I don't think I've seen quite a proper mixture since Raimi's own Evil Dead II. Overall, Drag Me to Hell did more than just impress me nonstop. It was a masterpiece of a horror film, with unrivaled intensity, scares, and one killer of an ending. More often now, horror directors/writers seem to have such a difficult time ending their films properly. This one has an ending which snugly solidifies the film as an early contender for best horror film of the year. Don't miss Drag Me to Hell... you will never look at handkerchiefs the same way!
49
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006,  PG-13)
The Pursuit of Happyness
A touching, honestly performed film with many inspiring moments. I was completely drawn in by the journey. An uplifting experience.

Scream
Love this film

Scream 2 (1997,  R)

Scream 3 (2000,  R)
Scream 3
Marvellous ending to a fantastic trilogy... it finishes with a brilliant twist to who started the murders before the first Scream... love the storyline as well
53
Titanic (1997,  PG-13)
Titanic
I love this film because of the attention to authenticity and detail...and it's a lovely romantic/tragedy story because it makes me cry.
54
Mamma Mia! (2008,  PG-13)
Mamma Mia!
I'm glad that I went to see this at the pictures... I enjoyed every second of it. I'm not even ashamed to admit it! It's a superb musical that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're just a little bit crazy and want to have a good laugh, if you love ABBA, want to see Meryl Streep like you've never seen her before or if you simply have a secret crush on Colin Firth or Pierce Brosnan (his singing was nothing short of hilarious), you will LOVE this film. Best summer flick so far. Warmly recommended.
55
Night at the Museum (2006,  PG)
Night at the Museum
Don't go into this movie expecting a complex plot and deep insight into the human condition. The story and plot are lightweight but that doesn't matter too much. The characters are likable enough and the situation is definitely full of possibilities.

The humor is silly and well-done slapstick without much in the way of vulgarity. I especially enjoyed the antics and heroics of the miniature Cowboys, Mayans and Romans. (Though my inner stickler was a tad annoyed with slight shifts in their scale.)

I recommend it for family viewing.
56
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (2009,  PG-13)
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
I went to see this mostly because Channing Tatum looked gorgeous (as always) in the preview and he sure looks amazing in this film. But the film as a whole surprised me in how much fun and non-stop action it was. I'm glad to say the the "critics" are flat out wrong on this one and am happy to see that audiences responded well.

This film has a great pace- there are several non-stop action scenes with some breaks in between where the Joes gather at headquarters, or when we get some background about the characters. There's a lot of story here, this is not a mindless Michael Bay CGI-fest. There are actually some funny lines and the characters' relationships with each other are well-developed.

A new devastatingly destructive weapon is developed by the M.A.R.S. corporation. They seek to sell it to N.A.T.O. But the people at M.A.R.S. don't exactly have the world's best intentions in mind. The military team in charge is ambushed as they transport this weapon by a mysterious group with powerful weapons. But the G.I. Joes intervene and two military guys ask to join the Joes to recover the weapon.

Theres a great cast: the sexy Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols- not looking bad either, Arnold Vosloo, Jonathan Pryce, Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller - all of them doing a great job.

There are plenty of action scenes, the most amazing one, a car/motorcycle/foot chase scene in Paris that's just mind-blowing and remarkably well done. The third act taking place underwater is almost unnecessary, or should have been shortened. This is a long film and the Paris scene would have made for a good climax.

Overall this film is a lot of fun and it is not insultingly dumb as most blockbusters.
57
Fast and Furious (2009,  PG-13)
Fast and Furious
Fast and the Furious (4) was the best installment of the series without a question. This one brings back the fast action with a solid plot line. Vin Diesel recovers from a series of terrible character choices lately. All old faces come back to life in this film and add to the already impressive plot. The film continues to be fast paced but the emotions rage in this film far more than any of the others could dream of. I give it an 9/10 for the fact that I felt there were times the film could have turned something awesome into GREAT. But I like what this film brought to the table and it raises the bar for action films this year.
58
Star Trek (2009,  PG-13)
Star Trek
I'm not even a Star Trek fan, but I thought it was absolutely brilliant... the special effects were outstanding from start to finish. The film even had a great beginning... I loved it. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto were excellent as the young Kirk and Spock, while Karl Urban as Bones, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, John Cho as Sulu and Zoe Saldana as Uhura also made their mark on film history. The action sequences were amazing and plentiful, and the story was really good too. It took a very interesting twist that I didn't expect as far as what this film actually is. Having no expectations, I was pleasently surprised. I also enjoyed Eric Bana as the evil Nero and the return of Leonard Nimoy's Spock! Simon Pegg's role was especially funny too.
59
She's the Man (2006,  PG-13)
She's the Man
I went to see this film and I can't remember a film where I laughed SO hard -- literally out loud, deep bursts of laughter because it was hilarious. Granted the storyline is predictable but the ride is so extremely enjoyable it doesn't matter that you know how it's going to end. The actors' comedic senses of timing were impeccable. The actors were perfectly cast. Amanda Bynes is hilarious and so refreshing and so was Channing Tatum - who I'm a huge fanatic of. Defiantely worth a watch.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008,  R)
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Sweet, funny, and endearing
64
American Pie (1999,  R)
American Pie
This has got to be the best teen sex flick. Not only is it realistic so teenagers can relate to some of the situations, its also hilarious, so your guaranteed to laugh your head off. I do every time I watch it. Not only did I love the storyline and plot but the actors fit the characters so well, they made them all seem so realistic. Go see this film if you haven't and also buy the sequel while your at it.
65
American Pie 2 (2001,  R)
American Pie 2
I saw the film and laughed out loud. It's just as good as the first one because they both have great redeeming qualities that pretty much balance the scale. The laughs are still there, and there are some genuinely funny moments. I don't want to give them away, though the previews and some of the other reviewers probably already did. The cast still got it. Eugene Levy steals the show yet again as Jim's Dad. I do have to say, Stiffler's character got a little too obnoxious at times. It's often funny to hear his foul-mouthed insults, but by the hundredth time you hear him use the word "f**kface" it gets kinda old. I'm still not sure if I would consider this film better than the first, but it is one sequel that lives up to the original--and that's saying a lot! Do me a favour only watch the first 2 American Pies because the others are complete and utter crap.
66
Armageddon (1998,  PG-13)
Armageddon
This movie is pure escapism fun, which has its place in my collection, movies like Independence Day and Armageddon are great fun to watch and as a bonus the characters weren't bad the script was reasonable and action was indeed plentiful. There were a great deal of laughs too (mostly intentional) anyone who hasn't seen this but just wants relax and enjoy a good (yet Shallow) action flick then this certainly fits the bill.

For pure entertainment value i score it 8/10
67
Pearl Harbor (2001,  PG-13)
Pearl Harbor
A very upsetting film it broke my heart (in a happy emotional way) lol
68
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993,  PG-13)
Mrs. Doubtfire
An extremely funny and heartfelt film. It has tones of laughs as well as tears, this is definitly Robin Williams' best films. Watching Williams do voices as well as play Mrs. Doubtfire is a real treat. Also the supporting cast of actors do an excellent job, I highly reccomend it.
69
The Birdcage (1996,  R)
The Birdcage
A Warm and Hilarious Comedy

Marley & Me (2008,  PG)
Marley & Me
I love this movie... it's a must see! Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston were amazing... storyline was awesome.... it was brilliant.... I loved how they showed the family and it really seemed like a real life story, the movie mad me feel like I was there.... this is one of the best movies I have seen of 2009 so far.
71
Madagascar (2005,  PG)
Madagascar
It is fun, fast-paced, and highly entertaining.
72
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008,  PG)
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
It's fun... just as good as the first 1 and there's loads of great laughs along the way!
73
Bolt (2008,  PG)
Bolt
I got the opportunity to see this in a sneak preview in 3D and was very entertained. Great plot, great animation and the 3D were amazing. Sometimes felt like Bolt's head was towering over the audience. Good thing he didn't drool!

All the characters were great. The pigeons were great comic relief. It's amazing the amount of detail the animators put in. Watching the way the pigeons moved their heads was entertaining in itself. Rhino and Mittens were also hilarious while having more depth as well. A lot of Rhino's great lines were in the preview but didn't exactly play out in the story the way they seemed like they were going to. Even with that, he was hilarious. Obviously the plot is predictable but it's a very fun story. I was laughing out loud throughout this film.
Skip Bond and see Bolt.

I bought this on DVD today, and I just loved it. I'll admit, at times it was a little predictable, but you will love it. Its a great family comedy with funny parts (a lot!), sad parts, and inspirational parts. And look out for the bakery scene, so funny! But don't count on that, the whole film will have you in stitches. I recommend this to anyone.

Team America - World Police (2004,  R)
Team America - World Police
The one thing I noticed while attempting to breathe during this movie was that people were walking out in between bursts of hysterical laughter.

Unfortunately, this movie is not for everyone. I wish it didn't offend some but it does. So, if you want to know whether you will enjoy this film or not, you must answer "yes" to the following:

1. I am not offended by the "F" word. Being repeated 300 times.

2. I am not offended by intense marionette sex.

3. I am not offended by racial satire.

4. I am not offended by ridiculous political satire.

5. I am not a member of the Film Actor's Guild.

If you're like me and have answered "yes" to the above five questions, go see this film. You will laugh so hard it will hurt and you will giggle about it for the next week thereafter.

I have to say that I am very desensitized when it comes these kinds of films, and I'd say that Team America has raised the bar in derogatory humor. But that only made it more hilarious. I give it 5 stars, two thumbs up, 10 out of 10; it was flawless. But...

On the other hand, if you're not like me, you might find yourself walking out by the third time you hear the song, "America, F*** Yeah!"

The Holiday (2006,  PG-13)
The Holiday
If you are expecting an epic cinematic masterpiece, then "The Holiday" is not for you. However, if you are looking for a light, entertaining movie, I would definitely recommend this film. While the previews were intriguing, I was thrilled to find that not every plot element was revealed before I even entered the theater. I completely enjoyed Kate Winslet as hopelessly devoted Iris. She was neurotic, a bit spineless, and absolutely winning. Although I do wish that her story had been developed more thoroughly. I felt a bit like her relationship was rushed through and the film spent a majority of the time focusing on Amanda (Diaz), Graham (Law), and their developing relationship. Despite the fact that I am not a huge Cameron Diaz or Jude Law fan, I was pleasantly surprised with their part of the story! Jack Black kept his character to an energetic hum rather than an explosion of crazy antics. You've just got to love that eyebrow! The scenery was beautiful! The supporting cast was hugely entertaining. I laughed out loud. The ending is fairly predictable. This is a romantic comedy after all. However, "The Holiday" is a great film for those of us who would like to suspend reality for a while and just enjoy. Go see it!

Overboard (1987,  PG)
Overboard
This is an Awesome film! I loved it. I was very unhappy when I read that 'Overboard' received bad reviews by the definitely brain dead 'critics'. This is an excellent family oriented vehicle. Kurt, Goldie and Roddy were absolutely fantastic! The film critics of today are in very bad form. I think they are being 'paid off' by jealous competitors! Overboard is a 'feel good' film that can excite the viewer! Wonderful! I would have liked a sequel of sorts to this one! Kudos to the actors, writers, directors and producers of this fabulous film! So sorry that you got panned by the petty media! What counts is the VIEWER! If you haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it!

The Ugly Truth (2009,  R)
The Ugly Truth
The movie is fast paced and does not drag. The comedy is "r" rated with a little raunchy adult humor that can be shocking at times but that is in line with the movies theme of male/female relationships.

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler were both great in the film. Not a role that you would expect to see the King of Sparta, but Butler has great comedic timing complimenting his tough guy persona. And Katherine Heigl is once again perfect doing comedy.

If you are expecting to see a typical romantic comedy you will be surprised, because this R rated film is geared toward the men in the audience as well as the ladies. Grab your significant other and be prepared to laugh and enjoy the movie together.

Up (2009,  PG)
Up
Up is seriously the best movie I have seen so far this year, it's actually one of my favorite movies of all time, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this film. Wither it was the fun and charming story between Carl and Russell, the crazy bird Kevin, or the story that nearly killed me in laughter, the dogs that have collars that make them talk. I don't remember the last time a movie that made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt, it also made me tear up and smile. If someone ever tells you that an animated film can't be considered a real movie, just show them Up. I absolutely adore this movie, can't wait for it to come out on DVD and watch it again. This is a perfect family film, actually scratch that, it's a perfect film, the animation is incredible, the characters are lovable and the story is magical. Up is going to be a film to be remembered for all time, great movie, go see it.

8/10
