2012 2012 PG-13
Emmerich in many ways is Michael Bay but better. Through the outer shell of a massive CGI bonanza was the first decent disaster movie plot in a while. The special effects were astounding, seeing individual people on the ground is just astounding detail to put in and I had a fun ride throughout. It may be a tad long but it didn't stop my enjoyment. Cusack was brilliant, I really begun to love the guy, as was Amanda Peet. Just don't go in expecting intelligence, go in to be entertained and through the cheese and silliness you will just love it.
The Fourth Kind The Fourth Kind PG-13
From what I believe this film has been universally panned by critics. Hit the headlines for the false messages it leads the audience to believe, and just generally had bad word of mouth. So my hopes weren't high going into the cinema. And after toying with the idea for a good hour the film found its way and impressed me from then on. It's not without its flaws, it feels sloppy in places in terms of editing and directing, in fact it feels like it was directed by several different people throughout. But ignoring all that, it turned out to be a very thought provoking film. Falsely advertised as shit-your-pants scary I believe that gave it injustice, The Fourth Kind is much more than that. In most places it reminded me of the brilliant Mothman Prophecies. Nothing is ever seen, it lets your mind roam free, and thats what is scarier than anything else I've seen lately. Anybody with a brain can tell the "real" footage isn't real, the whole film is based loosely on fact, it just creates its own little world. But still at the end it left you to make your own mind up...which I liked.

Andrew's Favorite Movies


Trainspotting Trainspotting R
A film which kickstarted a career for Ewan McGregor and Danny Boyle. This is in my oppinion the best British movie ever made, I am still young yet and have yet to catch up on generations of movies (2001, A Clockwork Orange, Etc..) but for now this remains my favourite movie of all time.
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back PG
Many geek-boy will tell you this is the best star wars film, and one of the best movies of all time. This movie had a much more different feel than the first. It introduced a lot more memorable characters but also developed the ones we already knew to a much deeper level, particuarly Solo. One of my favourite movies of all time.
