The Soloist - PG-13
|
|
The soloist is a movie based on an article written by journalist Steve Lopez about Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, a gifted musical prodigy that lives on the streets of Los Angeles. The story is excellent and the plot is very well developed. I has a high quantity of drama, it is very touching and even heart breaking, the viewer will drop a tear or maybe two. It is a little slow but it never gets tired. It is also a little depressing because it portraits the real life of real homeless people. It has an all-star cast with Robert Downey Jr. as Steve Lopez and Jamie Fox as Nathaniel Ayers. Both deliver an outstanding performance. Secondary roles like the ones of Catherine Keener as Downey's ex wife and Lisa Gay Hamilton as Jamie fox sister gives the movie a very good support to the two leading men. In conclusion, The Soloist is a really good and recommendable option for everyone. A movie that makes you appreciate life

Year One - PG-13
|
|
Year One is the latest movie starring Jack Black. It is basically the story of the world since the beginning of time through the eyes of two cavemen. It has some funny moments and I hate to say it because I'm a big Jack Black fan but in general the movie its just plain and simple. The story isn't that interesting and the plot is kinda flat. The cast is good Jack Black as always is hilarious, he is the best one in the movie, Michael Cera is simply awful, I don't know but this guy has no personality and beside Black he simply disappears. Olivia Wilde, better known as 13 in House, is quite decent, Oliver Platt as the High Priest is very good and David Cross as Cain is very funny. In conclusion, Year One could be a very funny movie but it wasn't. anyway if you want to see it do it.

The Informant! - R
|
|
The informant is that kind of movie that at the end of the movie you go out thinking and wondering what you saw. But after certain time you realize that you saw and intelligent , very sarcastic and incredible movie. It is a film about ising corporate star, Mark Whitacre, who turns whistleblower against his employer, agribusiness giant ADM, for price fixing. Its story is very good and the plot is very well developed. The movie at the beginning is a little slow and maybe tiresome but the last hour when the situations began to unwrap, it becomes very interesting and with a very fast pace. The music is really enjoyable The cast is very good, a very fat Matt Damon in a type of role you never imagine him to be, Melanie Lynskey as Damon's wife was quite decent and after being away fro I don't know how much time, Scott Bakula with and excellent peformance. In conclusion, Steven Soderbergh latest movie is a very interesting movie people should give it a chance, it totally worth it.

Inglourious Basterds - R
|
|
What can I say. Tarantino always finds new ways to amaze the viewer. This was the opportunity of Inglorious Basterds, a movie full of action, drama and a little bit of black humor that we're used to watch in all Tarantino's movies. It is perfectly narrated and with an excellent rhythm, yeah it maybe a little bloody but its never gross, its like I like say entertaining and justified violence. The story is excellent, set in WW II, a group of Jewish soldiers named "the basterds" travel throughout the Nazi occupied Europe killing German soldiers as an act of revenge, and the plot is perfectly written full of twists and with an unexpected ending. The cast is awesome, Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz, Til Schweiger and even Mike Myers in a very short appearance were astonishing perfect. To conclude, Inglorious Basterds is the best movie from Quentin Tarantino maybe since Pulp Fiction, fully recommended and totally worthy.

I Hate Valentine's Day - PG-13
|
|
I Hate Valentine's Day is a movie about a lonely woman falls in love on the day she dreads the most and experiences all the elements of a relationship, from chance meeting through divorce, within the space of a single February 14th. What can I say, if the movie's name is I Hate Valentine's Day, well I hate I hate Valentine's Day. This is by far the corniest movie I ever seen in my life. Maybe women will enjoy all the chessy situations the leading character has and experience throughout the movie, but men like me will get bored from the very first minute of the movie. It is supposed to be a romantic comedy but there was no humor at any moment. Nia Vardalos has the leading role, I don't what but she has something in her personality that really annoys me,besides that her character is already annoying too. John Corbett dod a decent job. In conclusion, I Hate Valentine's Day was a completely wast of time and money. A movie not worthy to see and if you still want to, well you better wait for it on dvd.

The Ugly Truth - R
|
|
The Ugly Truth is a entertaining romantic comedy about Abby Richter, a romantically challenged morning show producer whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. She's in for a rude awakening when her bosses team her with Mike Chadway, a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick. Although I think the movie is a little predictable and with some corny moments, it is also very enjoyable and funny. The cast is formed by Gerard Butler (300) and Katherine Heigl (27 Dresses) in the leading roles. Heigl is like in her previous movies very good, she is made for this type of movies and Butler is a real suprise, he did excellent in his very first romantic comedy. In conclusion, The Ugly Truth is a very enjoyable comedy for men and women.

Married Life - PG-13
|
|
Married Life is a nice thriller with very good black humor about a man with a lot of years being married and having a lover he decides that it is very painful for his wife to ask her for the divorce so instead of divorcing his wife, he chooses to murder her. The story is very good, the plot very well developed, it has very good twists and an unexpected ending although it has some holes and a very slow rhythm at some moments. The cast is excellent. Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan, Patricia Clarkson and Rachel McAdams gave us almost perfect performances To conclude, this is a movie worth to see. Very recommendable.

Aliens in the Attic - PG
|
|
Aliens in the Attic is a movie that entertains for maybe 30 minutes. After that time I think that it turns a little foolish, unreal and very childish. the movie tells the story of a very dysfunctional family that rent a house on the lake for their vacations, what they don't know is that the house is already habited by a group of aliens looking for a device to invade and conquer the Earth. The aliens can control the mind of adult people but not of teenagers and children, so it is the children of the family to protect their house, their family and the whole world. The story is very predictable, from the very beginning you can tell what is going to happen. The cast is good, the performances notthat much. I love the role of Doris Roberts as the Grandma, she is very funny, Kevin Nealon is also very food as the dad. I think that it is already time for Ashley Tisdale to leave behind the roles of the spoiled high school teenager and the kids were good enough specially the little girl Ashley Boettcher. In conclusion, Aliens in the Attic is an entertaining and enjoyable movie specially for kids, then if you don't have kids or you're not one avoid it or wait for it until its on dvd.

The Hangover - R
|
|
Usually when people talk about hangovers they usually meant about the day after drinking a lot. In this case The Hangover is the most ingenious comedy I've seen in the year. Directed by Todd Phillips, The Hangover contains all kind of comedy and humor existed in this world. It is an hour and a half full of laughs. It is cleverly written, Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they'll never forget. The movie follows a fast paced rhythm, a very nice thin for the viewer because you never get tired or bored. It also has some great locations in Las Vegas, in fact you can see two different faces of Vegas, one at night so glamorous and shiny and the other in the desert with amazing landscapes. Another thing you appreciate from the movie is its wonderful soundtrack, the music is so good and every song in it fits to the perfection with every scene in the film. The cast is excellent every actor and actress delivers an excellent and convincing performance specially Zach Galifianakis as Alan, he was so funny and the special appearance from Mike Tyson was great. The Hangover only purpose is to entertain people and I'm sure people will enjoy every minute of it. In conclusion, it is the best comedy of the year.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - PG
|
|
The Half Blood prince, the sixth and latest adaptation from Harry Potter's books in my opinion was the lamest and most dissapointing movie of all six. At least the previous five has tons of action, adventure and humor. But this one is two hours and a half of the same boredome story. It is a flat plot that never advances and the lame excuse or romance make the film ridiculously cheesy. The very few of special effects that the movie has were very good. The cast were good but their performances in comparison to the previous movies were a little weak, I don't know but I never felt any emotion in them. The only ones that were convincing enough wer Alan Rickman as Snape, Michael Gambon as Dumbledore and the very little appearance of Helena Bonham Carter. In conclusion, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for me is the biggest dissapointment of the summer and even the year.

In this one we follow how's life treats our three main characters, Manny expecting the birth of his first baby with Ellie, Diego feeling frustrated because he has no adventure in his life anymore and Sid thinking that no one cares about him. When Sid finds three dinosaur eggs and take them with him is when the adventure begins. The movie is funny from the beginning till the end, an hour and a half of pure entertainment. The animation as always is excellent , the story is good and the plot very well developed. The cast is excellent. Ray Romano (Manny), Dennis Leary (Diego), John Leguizamo (Sid), Queen Latifah (Ellie), Sean William Scott (Crash) and Josh Peck (Eddie) repeating characters and Simon Pegg as the new character Buck are very good and convincing. In conclusion, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is a very entertaining and enjoyable family movie everyone will like.

Public Enemies - R

Public Enemies tells the story of the life of John Dillinger and his brief but well known fame as a bank robber. It is an almost 2 hour and a half movie but its length doesn't make it tiresome, in fact it is a very interesting drama full of action that will catch you from the very first minute and will keep you on the edge of your seat. the story is very interesting and the plot very well developed. The movie is perfectly set in the 1930's with an excellent costume design from that age. The cast is awesome. Johnny Depp is the perfect John Dillinger, a role that fits him very well, his performance was great, Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis is almost perfect and Marion Cotillard although her role wasn't that big, she made very important for the movie. In conclusion, Public Enemies made a very good impression on me, it is a enjoyable and interesting movie.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - PG-13
|
|
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one og the biggest box office blockbusters of the summer. From the very beginning of the movie you are surround by big explosions, spectacular persecution and tons of special effects. The story doesn't contribute with many innovations, in fact I feel that it follows the same plot as the first one, The Auto-bots and the Decepticons in their eternal war and the humas in between with Sam Witwicky and his girlfriend Mikaela trying to save the world. Maybe the only novelty in the film is the new robots like "The Fallen", the twins and others. The special effects ar awesome and the CGI is amazing. The cast is really good, Shia LaBeouf repeating as Sam Witwicky was good, in this movie he is more like an action hero. Megan Fox looking extremely hot and with a decent performance. John Turturro was very funny. In conclusion, this sequel of Transformers is quite entertaining and surely it will be a blast in the box-office.
