Sin City (2005,  R)
Sin City 5.0 Stars
My favorite movie of all time, the unique cinematography with little bits of color here and there was very artistic. Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, and Benicio Del Toro deliver the strongest performances in my opinion. Mickey Rourke, Nick Stahl, and Michael Clarke Duncan do a fantastic job as well. As far as actresses go, Brittany Murphy had the best performance in here, Jessica Alba had a cool scene in the bar, but not spectacular acting. Rosario Dawson did a good job as well as Jaime King and Alexis Bledel. Elijah Wood was freaky, he never spoke a word in the whole film, and Josh Hartnett was cool and slick. This movie had an amazing cast, even more big actors and actresses the the ones I listed, they all worked well together, I like the characters from the different stories were all intertwined together, it is pieced together like a Tarrantino movie, and Tarrantino himself directs the sequence with Owne and Del Toro in the car, when Owen thinks Del Toro is talking to him. This is a must see, and for those of you who won't watch it because it's in black and white, you really need to be more open-minded, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, working as a team, delivered this, the most amazing film I have ever seen to date.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007,  R)
Shoot 'Em Up 5.0 Stars
This film was everything I had hoped for and so, so, so much more. It is now one of my all-time favorites. The action scenes in it are phenomenal, the lines are great, the soundtrack is awesome. It has a noir feel to it and even though the movie is only 86 minutes long, it doesn't seem like it. The special Effects were breathtaking, some of the most amazing visuals I have ever seen in a movie. It reminds me of a cross between Sin City and John Woo's films. Clive Owen is great as the stranger who is protecting a baby from hundreds of assassins and hitmen, while at the same time is trying to figure out why they are after the baby. The movie knows it's cheesy, and that's the whole fun behind it. It's supposed to be cheesy to a certain extent, and it does a great job of it. Paul Giamatti stars as the films main antagonist, and Monica Bellucci as the prostitute who's along for the ride. Owen and Bellucci take part in the strangest shootout I have ever seen in a film, and Clive Owen proves that it's always good to "Eat your Vegatables."

Gladiator (2000,  R)
Gladiator 5.0 Stars
Russel Crowe delivers one of his best performances in this film, only second to "A Beautiful Mind." This movie won best picture in 2000 and it definitely deserved it. Ridley Scott's best movie in my opinion, and great performances by Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, and Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed. The action scenes were incredible, and the end fight scene was breathtaking, this used to be my favorite movie. The cinematography is great, and the movie flows nicely. My favorite quote from the movie would have to be this: "My name is Maximus...Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." -Russel Crowe, Gladiator

The Boondock Saints (1999,  R)
The Boondock Saints 5.0 Stars
Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus are great as two brothers who take the law into their own hands and start cleaning up Boston, thinking that they are on a mission from God. Great performances from David Della Rocko, Billy Connoly, and Willem Dafoe. Some amazing fight scenes, great music, and good cinematography. I was surprised that this was Troy Duffy's first film he has directed, this is one of the greatest directorial debuts I have ever seen. I own this movie, it is one of my favorites.

Munich (2005,  R)
Munich 5.0 Stars
This movie was incredible, Spielberg's bet work in my opinion. Eric Bana and Geoffrey Rush did spectacular, and Daniel Craig did very good, this movie was made before "Casino Royale," which launched his career. I love how this movie shows the feelings and emotions of both nations in the movie, I really liked the scene where Bana is right there talking to his enemy at the hotel, and the symbolic dialog between them, and the scene at the end when Eric Bana was having sex with his wife as he was having the vision of what happened on the helicopter was amazing. This is an incredible movie.

Training Day (2001,  R)
Training Day 5.0 Stars
This movie is incredible on all fronts. It is one of my favorite films. This is by far Denzel Washington's best acting in any movie I have seen him in. I am not surprised that he won best actor for this film, he well-deserved it. It was written by David Ayer, one of my favorite writter/directors, it was his vision. It was directed by Antoine Fuqua, who did an ok, but not great job directing. We are constantly meeting new characters in the film, seeing them for a few minutes, then they are dropped off from the rest of the movie. It seems like bad character planning, but then again the whole movie takes place in a single day, so they have to keep moving. Ethan Hawke is great as the rookie cop learning the ropes. Musicians Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, and Macy Gray all have small roles in the film, not all that spectacular, nor is Eva Mendes' role as one of Denzel's girlfriends. Scott Glenn is Denzel's friend, who ultimatly gets played by Denzel. Peter Green and Nick Chinlund play Denzel's men, Chinlund is very slick and cool. Tom Berenger plays a higher-up that helps Denzel out in exchange for alot of cash. Cliff Curtis is good as the head of the latinos. David Ayer likes putting Noel Gugliemi and Terry Crews, two of Hollywood's most famous rising character actors in his films, along with Samantha Esteban each have small roles in the film. The music is really good, which makes up for the so-so editing. Denzel's speech at the end is breathtaking, some of the greatest acting I have ever seen. "King Kong ain't got S#@*on me!"

Snatch. 5.0 Stars
The scene where Brad Pitt's friends are pulling him back as he screams watching his house burn down with his family inside it, one of the most emotional scenes I have ever scene in a movie. Great performances by the entire cast in this movie, especially Pitt's acting, one of his best. Guy Ritchie is an amazing director.

State of Grace (1990,  R)
State of Grace 5.0 Stars
One of the most under-rated movies. Hardly anyone knows that this even exists. It is one of my top 10 movies of all time. Sean Penn is amazing in it, and Gary Oldman delivers a remarkable performance as usual. It is about the Irish mob in New York. Ed Harris, Sean Penn, John C. Reilly, John Turturro, and Robin Wright Penn are also in it. (This was before she was married to Sean Penn, so her name was just Robin Wright.) Really powerful speech by Sean Penn that gives the movie it's title.

Layer Cake (2004,  R)
Layer Cake 5.0 Stars
Wow this movie was brilliant. I really like british crime movies, this is very much like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking barrels, and it seems that the director is friends with Guy Ritchie himself. The director of this film, (Matthew Vaughn) produced Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Swept away(All directed by Ritchie). This is an amazing directorial debut for Vaughn, and he moved from this film onto Stardust, an amazing film as well, but yet a different genre. This film seemed very symbolic to me, and there was alot of twists. I noticed that Vaughn also starred Sienna Miller in both of his films, along with Jason Flemyng. Great performances from everyone, Daniel Craig plays the slick character similar to his character in Casino Royale. The cinematography, lighting, and camera lenses seemed very similar to that of Guy Ritchie's new film Revolver. I saw it tonight for the first time and it is now a definite favorite of mine.

3:10 to Yuma (2007) 5.0 Stars
This is one of the most badass films of 2007. Bale and Crowe play great off of each other, but Ben Foster, like in any film he is in, overshadows them by far. Really small part for Luke Wilson, more of a cameo actually, and Peter Fonda does a good job at playing a character we're supposed to hate.

This movie looked like it was going to be just another bloody action flick, but it was more than that. It had a great story that went very deep, and I think it was Ryan Reynold's best acting yet.

Reservoir Dogs (1992,  R)
Reservoir Dogs 5.0 Stars
Quentin Tarrantino's best work of art, and I am mostlikely going against everyone by saying tha I think it is his best work, even better than the infamous Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs is one of the most influential movies I have ever seen. It really opens your mind up to an amazing style of screenwriting and filmmaking. This is one of the first movies that really inspired me to become a director, it is pure genious. It is an amazing character piece and shows the bonds of eight men, all brought together through a diamond heist. The cops were there way before they should have been, even if someone had called them there was no way that they could have got to the jewelry store that fast...so the men have to figure out who is the snitch. The film stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Edward Bunker, Quentin Tarrantino, Lawrence Tierney, and Chris Penn. It is a definite must see for anyone who loves films.

Wow, just wow. This movie came out today, and I just got back from seeing it. This is definitely one of my favorites now, the Ice Bear fight scene was AMAZING, you can really feel the adrenaline inside your body at the very end of the fight scene. The whole movie was incredible, really leaves you hanging for the sequel, only thing that dissapointed me was that it wasn't longer, it should have been atleast a 2 1/2 maybe even 3 hour film. But none the less it was still incredible. You should definitely go see this.
