So hey I love movies! And now I review them, because hey-
"The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to complain about movies and share pornography with one another."-Holden (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.) -So that's what I'm doing. Except the pornography bit. Anyways movies are great, and I've taken my fasination with them and started making them. No these are anything but great, but my friends and I enjoy making them and watching them, so stop by for a look- www.youtube.com/jewandmeproductions -Heres one of our movies that is inspired by movies: <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-wbhFZGQNcw&hl=en&fs=1"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/></object> Movies for me are an escape from a boring and rather depressing life at times, but I can always trust that a happy ending and the good guys winning are just around the corner in a movie. Movies are good for that. Also if your a spammer don't try to add me as a friend or talk on my board, because I WILL report you and get you removed from this site. It's a cool site, we don't need your filth around to spoil it for us. So thanks for looking at my opinions and stop by for a chat. Also if you run into me somewhere(most likely at the Forum 8 watching a movie.) then you'll here me quote one or two movies during conversation. Don't be alarmed I do this often. Here's a few things I might be saying- "A man has only one life time. But history can remember you forever." -National Treasure: Book of Secrets "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."-Batman Begins "Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot." "Ah, the dark side of ambition." "Oh I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption."-Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp) to James Norrington(Jack Davenport) in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST. What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know, Goes away in the end. You have it all, My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.-Trent Reznor For Kicks and giggles-Us Your heros are dead, they roam in your head, when nothing is left we'll start again. Your heros are gone, they left with the dawn, know it's just us we'll carry on. -Heros Are Dead by Project 86. "If you ain't laughing, you ain't livin."-Carlos Mencia "Ignorance is bliss, cherish it."-Flyleaf Some people are like slinkies. Their not good for much, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.-Unknown "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy."-Dumbledore(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.) "Whose the more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows him?"-Obi-Wan Kenobi(SW IV: A New Hope.) |

The Dark Knight
PG-13
Completely blew me away! Few movies have ever had me hooked from the first 5 minutes into it, but I was sold almost immediately.
First off I want to comment on the role everyone wants to know about. Heath Ledger as The Joker. He surppasses every Joker before him, because he's not just a clown anymore, he's just plain pyscho and Ledger brought him to life with perfection and is completely disappeared behind the role.
But he isn't the only noteworthy performance, Eckhart also was very impressive and when it was his turn to change, he did so with the ease of flipping a coin.
I also continue to enjoy Caine's Alfed, because he fits the role so well and adds heart and humor to a dark film.
Bale also shines as Batman/Wayne, and I liked him best when he's not wearing the mask.
Freeman, Gyllenhaal, and Oldman also give great performances and completely disappear behind their characters and just become them.
The story is multilayered and fantastic, but thending leaves you questioning if Batman made the right choice at the end telling a lie to the city. The twist and turns throughout the entire movie leave you guessing what will happen and the film captures that insanity well, making the first hour of the film go by like that.
It's satisfying sequel that will leave you with plenty of questions about good and evil, but the one that will ring in your head the most will be The Joker's "Why So Serious?"

This film reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite. Not as funny to me as everyone else, but a few moments that almost had me on the floor laughing. The acting is good by all and the story is well written including the parts not made to make you laugh. Best parts are with McLovin and the two cops, just some great stuff with them. Rogen was my favorite, because it seems like he could do more then just the comedy genre. But I'm still not a fan of the R rated comedy. Some of it just wasen't that funny to me.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2)
PG-13
This might restore my faith in movies. Well....I want to believe that.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)
PG-13
I'm just not sure about this film, from the beginning with badly dubbed and ridiculous looking young Hellboy I started getting weary. From the start it seemed more Pan's Labyrinth then Hellboy with imaginative creatures. Yes their very imaginative, but they ust seemed out of plae inHellboy's world for some reason to me. There are also a few unanswered questions. Why does an elf, hen it dies, turn into dried up silly putty? What was the thing with the eyes on it's wings? Some kind of future seer? Also Abe's love interest was really weird and awkard, but I loved the song he and Hellboy shared. It was the best part of the film.
So I need to see this movie again to decide about it. It might start to grow on me if I see just byself with no outside influences(like a packed theater.)

Awesome amazing! If Wall-E was my #1 film for the family this year then this film has to be #1 of the ALL, because you leave with such andrenaline rush it gets to you! Cool and detailed story at times, so it's not just another shoot em up. Acting is great and this movie has now made me a Jolie and McAvoy fan, because they were amazing! Also Morgan was pretty sweet too and broke a couple molds that I had him stuck in. Specialeffects were really cool especially when the bullet goes backward through the victim. The filming was good and it didn't have much of the quick-cut-to-the-action-so-fast-it-makes-you-dizzy-stuff. I only can remember that happening once and they didn't over use slow motion too much eiother, but when they do it's freaking amazing. Also I loved the music score and it really captured what was going on without giving away what was going to happen. It was just an amazing feel good shootem up that I can';t wait till the DVD. Until then I think I might see it again. So? What have YOU done lately?
WALL-E

Great, amazing movie! Probably the best I've seen all year and tops the list of my favorite Disney/Pixar movie! It just as so much heart and character. They actually were able to give a robot personality and Wall-E is an amazing accomplishment in animation and sound effects. Ben Burtt did a fantastic job giving voice to the characters whether vocally as in Wall-E's case or the various sounds they make as machines. The story was great and the message was was almost always on the edge of screaming at you in the face but it was a lot more cleverly done and a better delivery then when Happy Feet tried it. The animation is amazing! It looked almost real at times and continues to do so through the rest of the movie. I love this movie and Wall-E should go on the list of the greatest, if not cutest, movie characters of all time.

King Kong (2005)
PG-13
Once again Jackson has given us another film loaded witha great story and characters. Still if you don't like long movies then you probably won't fine this one entrancing enough, but it's still action packed right when it starts slowing down. Amazing special effects and the T-Rex scene is amazing!

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
PG
STAR WARS original at it's finest. Brilliantly written, acted, and directed. My personal favorite of the SAGA
4.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
PG-13
A sequel that lives up to the original! The cast is great, but the secondary characters are what makes this a true treausre! Story moves a bit slow in the middle, but the ending makes it all worth while! Bill Nighy is amazing as Davy Jones here.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)
by wesley I want to start by saying that this totally lived up to my expectation. It was a great movie that had some incredible humor. I will always love that this a character driven story. I love the characters and the fact that they are the fuel for this is what I love seeing. There's the great story of relationship issues that I think everyone can relate to. That just adds to the depth of the characters. While the effects are of course awesome, despite a few TOO obvious one (I don't know how many other people will notice them but I did), the characters are what this is all about.
Another favorite aspect of mine is the fights. Pretty much anything involving Nuada (Luke Goss) is just incredible. I can not describe the awe of watching some of the moves he made. It was just so cool. You can tell when he walks into a room that he is going to pull of some amazing move that will devastate his opponent. It was just awesome.
Of course, this being a Del Toro, something has to be said of the inventive look of the creatures. There is definitely some of his usual stuff there, but then you see other creatures that look almost like something out of The Labyrinth (only done better). I loved it and I really think that everyone else will too.Hey, you should really see this! Sorry I don't have much to say but I haven't slept in three days. But hey, when do I ever say very much about anything important?
