The Matrix (1999,  R)
The Matrix 5.0 Stars
The most influential science fiction movie since "Alien." This movie takes the cake for unprecedented ideas, a 100% unique story line, great acting, killer cast, wonderful action with gripping drama. All around one of the top ten best movies ever made.

Jackie Brown (1997,  R)
Jackie Brown 4.5 Stars
Wow was my first reaction to this movie. I like Tarantino's works but this movie puts Pulp Fiction to shame. With the familiar multi-dimensional directing and deep characters, this movie delivers. I strongly recommend this movie.

Dawn of the Dead (1979,  R)
Dawn of the Dead 4.0 Stars
Probably the first good zombie movie ever to be released, Dawn Of The Dead connects you then revolts you. With graphic zombie attacks and wonderful character struggle, this movie sets the standard for all zombie movies to follow.

The ultimate romantic-comedy, Elizabethtown delivers in ways that I never expected. Laughing, crying, on the edge of my seat, every element of a wonderful movie is perfected in this movie.

Say Anything... 5.0 Stars
Definitely the ultimate romance movie with wonderfully developed and memorable characters, solid cinematography, great soundtrack and flawless story. There are few movies that can surpass such a high standard and "Say Anything" soars past all romances past and to come. Highly recommended.

Fight Club (1999,  R)
Fight Club 5.0 Stars
Going down as one of the most intense movies I've ever seen, "Fight Club" grips you from the beginning with the intentions of never letting you go. This is probably the best Drama-Action movie I've ever seen and while you'll either hate it or love it, we'll be able tell your overall taste in movies by seeing this one because if you don't like it, you're a fool. Very highly recommended.

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) (2001,  PG)
Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) 4.5 Stars
This movie is probably the greatest anime film I've ever seen. It's funny, well animated, has a nice soundtrack and is so imaginative that it sets itself apart from any random anime. While the story is mediocre, the conflict is strong and well portrayed. I recommend this movie to any anime lover.

As long as they keep making these movies I will definately be there to see them all man! While some would complain that the kid actors weren't sufficient, I think that they did an alright job. They're acting in no way hindered the progress of the movie nor distracted me from loving the plot.
