"This is Sparta!"


The 300 Spartans, willing to die for their precious Sparta and it's people, were heroic in my eyes. Warriors til the end. The battle scenes were amazing and very gruesome.

I love that King Leonidas and his Queen are so passionate and loving for each other, without even having saying a word to each other. You could see it in their eyes.

The movie is amazingly put together, with outstanding actors.

Who doesn't love The Goonies?

80s movies are the best. The Goonies has it all. It has a great story line with an awesome cast. Not to mention the adventure, freaks, geeks, treasure hunting, gold, and a pirate ship. I loved this film as a child, still love it, and now my kids love as well. I think The Goonies is the perfect family film for anyone to watch.

52
Ghost Ship (2002,  R)
Ghost Ship
Each time I see this, I love it more and more. There's so many great actors in this movie, Gabriel Byrne, Julianna Margulies, and Karl Urban.
It's not an over the top horror movie, more of a thriller/suspense. The beginning scene is awesome and I love the twist ending.

Plot: In a remote region of Bering Sea, a boat salvage crew discovers the eerie remains of a grand passenger line thought lost for more than 40 years. Once onboard, the crew must confront the ship's horrifi...( read more )c past and face the ultimate fight for their lives, as mysterious things begin to happen aboard the derelict ship.

56
The Godfather (1972,  R)

58
The Ruins (2008,  R)
The Ruins
Before seeing this film, I thought maybe some kind of creature or something was down in "The Ruins", but I was wrong.
I still enjoyed the story line. The film did have some good gorey moments in it for the horror lovers out there.
59
The Wizard of Oz (1939,  G)

What a rush, watching this. I'd love to see a 3rd part
61
Beauty and the Beast (1991,  G)
Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. It's a Classic!

Belle falling in love with the Beast is what's called true love, seeing what's inside his heart and beyond his looks.
62
The Deer Hunter (1978,  R)
The Deer Hunter
"One Shot."

The Deer Hunter is truly an American Classic. It stars the very young Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro.

The film is very long (3 hours). It starts by showing the characters background, then its off to Vietnam for the war, and eventually showing the after effect the war had on each character.

Walken and De Niro portrayed their characters wonderfully, which won Walken an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. The film won over 21 awards with another 19 nominations.

I love the scene in the beginning with all the guys in the bar after work, playing pool and singing, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

Anyone a fan of these two actors should definitely see this!

Taken (2009,  PG-13)
Taken
TAKEN

Wow, Wow, Wow!
Taken is an amazing, unforgettable movie. It had my full attention from the beginning until the very end.

Non-stop action and azz kicking throughout the entire movie.
Liam Neeson's acting in this film is pure perfection. Liam you deserve an Oscar!

Like I've always said, "There's no love, like a fathers love for his daughter."

Bryan: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."




Whether your a Neeson fan or not. I highly recommend this movie!

Awesome Film. Johnny Depp is brilliant. Loved this movie

X-Men Origins - Wolverine (2009,  PG-13)
X-Men Origins - Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the best of the X-Men series yet. Glad to finally see Logan/Wolverine's back story come together. As always, Hugh Jackman did a phenomenal job as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber was perfect as Sabertooth, and Ryan Reynolds was the funniest X-Men of them all. I loved every second of the film!

Star Trek (2009,  PG-13)
Star Trek
Star Trek is pure perfection!
I've never been a hard core Trekkie fan but this movie was awesome. It was fast paced all the way through beginning to the end, action packed, and the actors were perfect.


Brilliant film! I think it will be the blockbuster film of the year.
Bows to J.J. Abrams.
67
Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans (2009,  R)
Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans
I knew before this film even hit the theaters I would enjoy it, with or without Kate Beckinsale.

Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans has the perfect story line, characters, and actors. The film shows us how the war began between the Lycans and Vampires. A forbidden love between Lucian--Lycan (Michael Sheen) and Sonja--Vampire (Rhona Mitra) began. After Sonja father, Victor (Bill Nighy) finds out, he disowns his daughter, shackles her, forcing Lucian to watch her burn to ashes in the sunlight and so the war begins....
68
Up (2009,  PG)
Up
Can Pixar ever go wrong?
I think not.

Up is definitely another classic for PIxar. The visual effects and sound is amazing. The story line brilliant. Up has everything you could ask for in a movie. Sadness, happiness, and hilarious comedy. It's the perfect movie, very entertaining.
69
Carlito's Way (1993,  R)
Carlito's Way
Just like Scarface, Carlito's Way is another classic for Pacino.
He played his character phenomenal, with class. I loved his accent, the club scenes, the music, heck I loved everything about this film.

Thank you Mr. Al Pacino!

My favorite Carlito lines:




"I'm reloaded! Okay? Come on in here, you motherf*ckers! Come on, I'm waitin' for ya! What, you ain't comin' in? Okay, I'm comin' out! Oh, you up against me now, motherf*ckers! I'm gonna blow your f*ckin' brains out! You think you're big time? You gonna fuckin' die big time! You ready? HERE COMES THE PAIN!"




"There is a line you cross, you don't never come back from. Point of no return. Dave crossed it. I'm here with him. That's means I am going along for the ride. The whole ride. All the way to the end of the line, wherever that is."

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009,  PG-13)
The Haunting in Connecticut
The Haunting in Connecticut was truly a creepy feel good movie. I haven't jumped that much while watching a movie in a very long time. Being based on true events (supposedly) made it feel even creepier for me. I was sitting on the edge of my chair just waiting to see what was gonna happen next and to think I almost passed on seeing this.
71
Juno (2007,  PG-13)
Juno
Very heartwarming!
Ellen Page was wonderful. I love her quirky smart azz remarks/comments.

Rollo: Well, well. If it isn't MacGuff the crime dog! Back for another test?
Juno: I think the last one was defective. The plus sign looked more like a division sign so I remain unconvinced.
Rollo: Third test today, Mama Bear. Your eggo is preggo, no doubt about it.
Tough Girl: [to Juno] It's really easy to tell. Is your nipples real brown?
Rollo: Yeah. Maybe your little boyfriend's got mutant sperms. Knocked ya up twice.
Juno: Silencio old man! Look, I just drank my weight in Sunny-D and I gotta go pronto!
Rollo: Well, you know where the lavatory is.
Rollo: You pay for that pee stick when you're done! Don't think it's yours just cuz ya marked it with your urine!

Rollo: So what's the prognosis, Fertile Myrtle? Minus or plus?
Juno: I don't know. It's not seasoned yet.
Juno: I'll take some of these. Nope. There it is. The little pink plus sign is so unholy.
[shakes pregnancy test]
Rollo: That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.

An Unfinished Life
There is only 1 word that comes to mind when describing this film, it's actors, characters, plot, and scenery.

WONDERFUL!

Trick 'r Treat (2008,  R)
Trick 'r Treat
Trick 'r Treat is just the right film to put anyone in the Halloween spirit. It has so many different characters and stories with great twists and turns, a bit of gore thrown in, and quite a few scenes to give you a good laugh. The perfect Halloween film to watch yearly.

Jeremiah Johnson (1972,  PG)
Jeremiah Johnson
Jeremiah Johnson is partially based on the true story of John Johnson, an American soldier who goes west to escape the war and becomes a mountain man. In 1847, his Indian wife was killed by Crow Indians, which prompted Johnson to embark on a 20-year vendetta against the tribe. The legend says that he would cut out and eat the liver of each man killed. Another theory is that he would only take a bite of the liver and then spit it out stating "the liver of the Crow is not suitable for a man." This was an insult to Crow being that the Crow Indians used to eat the raw livers from their game because they believed it gave them the vitality of the animal that they ate. He was given the nickname of Liver Eater Johnson and Crow Killer.

"His name was Jeremiah Johnson, and they say he wanted to be a mountain man. The story goes that he was a man of proper wit and adventurous spirit, suited to the mountains. Nobody knows whereabouts he come from and don't seem to matter much. He was a young man and ghosty stories about the tall hills didn't scare him none. He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better. He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better. Bought him a good horse, and traps, and other truck that went with being a mountain man, and said good-bye to whatever life was down there below."

Instant classic in my book.

This is my kind of film. It has Robert Redford in the starring role, living off the land, surviving the wilderness and bitter cold, those snowy mountains and streams, and very little dialogue, with a simple plot. Through Jeremiah's gestures and glances, you could almost feel everything he's feeling throughout the entire film, from joy of being with his new wife and son, to the sorrow of loosing them, then the rage of revenge against the Crow Indians. Just an all around beautiful film anyway you look at it.

"You've done well to keep your hair, when so many's after it."
