The Girl Next Door (2004,  R)
The Girl Next Door 4.5 Stars
When you first look at the description for this film, you might seem slightly put off about the idea of the lead female character being a porn star, but the story isn't all about that, and does actually have a soul and heart. Of course there is the slight nudity, but then what R-rated comedy film doesn't have nudity? The script is very cleverly written, with smart jokes and lovable characters. You can feel just what the characters might feel, and really makes you think what you would do. Everyone portrays a wonderful character from Emile Hirsch and Elisha Cuthbert to Timothy Olyphant, Paul Dano and Chris Marquette are a joy to watch. It's not the kind of film to watch as a family, but do not enter it thinking it's all about sex. Enjoy

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (2003,  PG-13)
The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King 5.0 Stars
The problem when writing reviews for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is that they are so perfect in every way known, that there reviews will be so familiar. Each film gets better than the last, and Return of the King pulls out all the stops to bring you an unforgettable masterpiece of epic proportions. The story is well written, with the relationships between the characters really appearing.

The special effects were wonderful again, along with the locations and creatures. It becomes near impossible to spot the point when the CGI doubles become the real actors. The music again, really set the tone for the film, and expanded on the adventure. The acting was superb again, especially Andy Serkis' performance as both the non-cgi and cgi versions of Smeagol/Gollum.

There isn't much to say about this film apart from BRILLIANT. If you haven't seen these yet, you don't know what your missing. Once the end credits start rolling, you start to feel a feeling of sadness deep inside you. An unforgettable journey has come to an end. He's one fan who hope Peter Jackson will finally choose to make The Hobbit books into a cinematic masterpiece.

The film deserved the 11 academy awards it got. You should go out now and pick this up. I also would recommend the extended editions for each films. You gather lots more action and back story, along with Sarumans missing death scene.

Titanic (1997,  PG-13)
Titanic 5.0 Stars
If you ever want to see one of the best film-making examples, then 'Titanic' is one of them. Some of the lines might feel a bit cheesy and the love story lines might feel a bit too much love filled, but just watching it was an amazing experience, and i was only watching it on a DVD. The fact that the film is based on something which actually happened, makes it so tragic and so emotional to watch. I'm not normally an emotional guy, but i just felt devastated seeing everyone happening on it. The music doesn't help prevent the emotional experience, as it's some of the best music i've heard on dramatic sequences. The special effects are also amazing too with some amazing realistic shot of the ship. A lot people seem to be put off by this film, but i think its a work of movie making at its best.

King Kong (2005) (2005,  PG-13)
King Kong (2005) 5.0 Stars
The trailers for Peter Jackson's King Kong looked amazing and after seeing 'The Lord of the Rings', i was really hoping for an amazing movie to see. I was definitely not disappointed. The stars might be a bit well known, but this doesn't distract you from the story. The story might be very long (at 3 hours), but it's an exciting one which is very amazing to watch. The special effects are unbelievable, and you should really give credit to everyone involved, including WETA and Andy Serkis. Never would you have felt emotion from a CGI creature like here. If you have not seen this, you are really missing out.

Donnie Darko (2001,  R)
Donnie Darko 4.0 Stars
Weird and bizarre, but so beautifully shot and acted that you can not help but fall in love with this film. The characters are likable and although it has many twists and turns, the basic story should be able to be grasped easily by most viewers.

Freddy vs. Jason (2003,  R)
Freddy vs. Jason 4.0 Stars
I am a fan of two of the biggest horror franchises. Just like many of viewers around the world. Having Freddy Krueger from the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series and Jason Vorhees from the 'Friday the 13th' series battle each other to the death would be like a dream come true on film. Question is: Can they fight enough to entertain us? The story is quite basic and easy to understand. They go back to the start of the film franchises and make it very dark, with the qualities of both killers seen in their first films appearing. Robert Englund is back as Freddy Krueger and proves once again, that no one can play Freddy other than him. The rest of the cast aren't the most well known stars, but do their job effectively. Kelly Rowland is surprisingly good. The characters range from interesting (Chris Marquette's lovable nerd role) to the quite dull characters (Jason Ritter's tag along boyfriend). The fight is incredible and bloody, that it really does feel like a battle of the Gods. Some critics don't seem to enjoy it that great, but you watch it and make a decision. My personal opinion, is that it's definitely a lot better than most of the Freddy and Jason sequels.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005,  PG)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe 4.0 Stars
Disney Pictures, Walden Media and Andrew Adamson have worked together to finally bring the Chronicles of Narnia to the big screen in a way in which everyone can enjoy. Beautiful scenery, entertaining action, good CGI and terrific performances by the kids and Tilda Swinton bring Narnia truly to life.
