The Dark Knight
PG-13
Wow, it's already got a perfect 5 star rating from all so far! I absolutely can not wait for this. I'm gutted us Brits have to wait a little longer... Grrrrrrr
Waitress
PG-13
A beautifully funny, sweet and clever slice of pie. I enjoyed every moment of it, a must see!
WALL-E
G
Wow... A true landmark in animation. The first 30 mins are glorious, with an eerie looking Earth brought to life by the animated WALL.E and his little Cockroach friend. It's all very sweet when EVE arrives. The only downfall is the trip into space, although there are still some very funny and sweet moments. The humans kinda ruin it! I guess it needed something else to keep the kids amused. I personally could have watched WALL.E's Earth moments throughout the whole movie, I was just blown away by the realism of the city. The obligatory Pixar pre animation called 'Presto' was hilarious and very clever! Overall WALL.E was a wonderful experience.
Mamma Mia!
PG-13
I'm not a huge ABBA fan, but got dragged along to see this by a friend of mine. I must admit, I couldn't help but sing along to a few of the songs! It was a fun movie, and great that the cast sung their own songs - esp Pierce Brosnan, oh dear! I probably won't watch it again though.
A History of Violence
R
A very conventional movie as far as Cronenberg ones go, but this is his masterpiece! Gritty and thrilling, with the violence being more subliminal than I thought it would. Amazing!

The Shining
R
A genuinely terrifying masterpiece. The amount of effort that went into the making of this is incredible. It is said that it took no less than a year to make, and actress Shelley Duvall went through various stages of stress and illness due to the role of Wendy Torrance. It's proof that a movie does not need to have gore and cliche 'jump' scares to be terrifying. One of the finest movies ever made.
3.
Jaws
PG
A genuinely terrifying movie, and you don't even see the Shark much until the end! Made me and many others scared of the ocean. This is a timeless classic. I don't care if the Shark looks a bit fake, it looks much better than the more recent Jaws: The Revenge... What a pile of shit that was!
4.
The Silence of the Lambs
R
Probably the best psychological thriller ever made. Amazing chemistry between Foster and Hopkins, and absolutely terrifying.
5.
Scream
R
A throwback to the 80's slasher movies, set the tone for many more to come. Some good, some bad, but none match this for it's mix of scares and the ability to poke a bit of fun out of the horror genre.
6.
Mulholland Drive
R
Some words that could be used to describe Lynch's masterpiece are: Unconventional, surreal, intriguing, beautiful, terrifying, thrilling, mysterious, romantic, artistic, quirky, funny, sexy, psychotic, infuriating... This is why I am in love with Mulholland Drive..

The Dark Knight
by CraigDirected by: Christopher Nolan.
Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman.
<< "You see, madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little...push" >>
The story follows Batman a year after his accounter with Ra's Al Ghul and his thugs, the streets remain the same and Batman continues to do what he can with the help of newly appointed Commissioner, Jim Gordon and Gotham's new D.A, Harvey Dent. Before long a menacing madman called the Joker introduces something into Gotham that no one would have ever expected.
This is no doubt the hundredth review you have read on this film, massively hype for years by fans and recently by the general public, reviews have been pouring in by the bucketload...my review is simply just a reminder, from both an obsessed fan and a general moviegoer, that this film is beyond anyones expectations, especially mine and that it simply is outstanding.
Everything about the first film is simply raised in level here, everything seems to be in a new direction, yet never forgetting what made Begins so great. Christopher Nolan has always been my favorite director and he has simply proved it here by a mile. To many it might appear flashy that he has taken hold of the newest technology for the film with IMAX cameras etc and in the wrong hands it would have just been for show, but Nolan is god behind these cameras and the epic scope is deftly handled and perfectly assured, the man is long overdue to be recognised more...and Wally Pfeister simply dazzles with the assured tone on this epic scale, it adds such a lovely feel.
The Nolan brothers screenplay is simply remarkable and again, 'beyond' everything I expected from the film. I was one of the men who knew the film was going to be more than just a Batman film, the footage I saw showed it, the dialogue rang true of it and as I am no doubt repeating in this review, its more than you would ever expect. In Batman 89, the problem that feel on it was the fact that the storytelling was lax and Joker became a first rate character over Batman, who simply became third rate. Begins proved that Batman and Bruce Wayne can be powerful forces and complex humans and faces and TDK continues that power by adding so much more. Morally complex from every angle, its a perfect crime saga under the superhero cover. Each character is given special treatment and in one word, a 'soul'. Bruce Wayne must now face the facts of Rachael being with another man, especially the one appointed as the challenger to Batmans moral values on Gotham. Joker is never given a major origin story and thank god for that, because the direction of Nolans vision didn't need it. He's unrelenting, mysterious much like Batman yet so self destructive and simply one hell of a scary, menacing clown that promises anarchy and chaos.
I can't go on without mentioning something highly underlooked in films...the score. It is the first soundtrack I would have ever bothered to sit down and listen to throughout and for good reason. Its a rich force that blends beautifully with the complexities of the films morals and emotions, beautifully adding richness to every epic scene on screen, its up there as one of the greatest pieces of music I've heard that can add so much to the moving image.
You all knew I was getting to this...the performances. Christian Bale once again proves to be the greatest mix put on screen for these characters. As Bruce Wayne, he continues to show the charming and cheeky wit around the way he is seen in city, yet remains so human and battles the strong emotions with others as we all do. Aaron Eckhart simply blew me away, especially when everyone goes in for Heath. He's perfect...there I said it and easily blows Tommy Lee off the face of the earth. He's got the perfect charisma to play this all american man as D.A of a major city and really is a nice threat for Bruce in his personal life, because he is not only similiar in statue as the force of Gotham, but he has won Rachael over, who no doubt sees him as Bruce without the mask...and when Harvey changes into who he is destined to become, Aaron is scary as hell and really is compelling. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a great replacement over the horribly wooden Katie Holmes and is given more to work with this time around and she blends in just well....AND of course Heath Ledger. What more can I say that no one has already said? Many still believe an posthurmous Oscar win would be a sympathy vote, the truth is, if the man was still alive today, he would still win it for what is quite possibly the greatest villian to ever grace celluloid...and that will be argued. Equally unexpecting and expecting, his performance as the Joker will stand for a lifetime. Sure Ceaser and Jack will always have a face for Joker as the showman style of the character, but Heath is the dark side everyone knows from a 50+ year old character. Charismatic, dark, edgy and scary as all fucking hell, he breezes into every scene easily stealing it and delivering something so intense, so unexpected, yet so real. Its a performance to be remembered by someone who died so suddenly and whether or not he wins the truly deserved Oscar, he's already in the hall of fame in my eyes.
The Dark Knight is a fucking masterpiece. To be, of course as 'opinion', because no one can stand as being right, it is the greatest film I have ever seen and blew my obsessive and very high expectations right out of the water. Moral complex, beautifully captured, deftly controlled, greatly performed...simply great. I still can't say that the film is 'flawless', because I still believe no film can or ever will, but The Dark Knight comes damn close.
<< "You see, nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If I told people that a gangbanger was going to get shot, or a busload of soldiers was going to get blown up, nobody would panic. It's all part of the plan. But tell people that one tiny little mayor is going to die and everyone loses their minds!" >>What should I be saying here, read my review :) You know my obsession is good for it.
...and I was annoyed enough to have to wait until the 24th (release date) here to see it.posted 4 hours ago -

Juno
by Sam
Juno is definitely one of the funniest films of 2007. This film brings a lot of delight and pleasure to the viewers not just because it is funny but it is beautiful what a teenage girl becomes when she discovers she is pregnant and what she decides to do aswell. Also, it isnt just the situation that Juno is in, it is also all of the characters that are involved in the film. I love that a cool chav-ish girl like Juno gets pregnant by nerd and quite bizarre Paulie Bleeker. Juno acts like a girl who is a bit of a know it all and acts all hard and like she is so tough but when she becomes pregnant everything changes around. I am sure that everyone who watches the film and even most of the characters in the film wonder why her name is Juno. It is just a very unknown and bizarre name that apparently has the name of Zeus wife in Ancient Greek which is what Juno mentions in the film. Ellen Page delivers an outstanding performance as Juno. Her performance is one of my favourite leading actress performances and is certainly my Oscar Best Actress winner in 2007. I believe she should have won instead of other two favourites Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose and Julie Christie in Away From Her. But Ellen should have won her Oscar. Michael Cera delivers an average performance as Paulie Bleeker. I think a better actor could have been his character. He was better in this than he was in Superbad. Jennifer Garners performance is excellent aswell as soon to be adoptive mother Vanessa Loring. I think she was snubbed from earning her Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. One that I think should have been her instead of Amy Ryan in Gone Baby Gone. At first I didn?t think that an actress like Jennifer Garner who appears in Elektra, Daredevil and other fantasy films be any good in this film but she really was brilliant! J.K. Simmons was good as Junos father Mac MacGuff, Allison Janney was poor as Bren MacCuff, Jason Bateman was pretty good as soon to be adoptive father Mark Loring but worst of all of them was Olivia Thirlby as Junos best friend Leah. She acted a bit too hot as Junos best friend. And also Juno looks like a completely different sort of girl to Leah when they hang out and be best mates. My second favourite Oscar Best Picture winner after No Country For Old Men. This film is like last years Little Miss Sunshine. This is definately the number one comedy of 2007. This film is very similar to Knocked Up but better. Masterpiece!Hey, you should really see this!

A Streetcar Named Desire
by Sam
This is without a doubt my favourite Marlon Brando film and is my favourite performance from him and even one of my favourite performances by an actor in a leading role of all time. Marlon Brando was one of my favourite actors when I saw my first film from him The Godfather. I loved his performances in On The Waterfront and Apocalypse Now aswell. I have watched 4 of his films so far and not one has disappointed me yet. Marlon Brando portrays Stanley Kowalski so well because he acts like charming and nice looking guy as Marlon actually was at that age but he also acted like a slightly disturbed character with a lot of different problems. Marlon is good as portraying both heroes and villains. He was a good hero in On The Waterfront but he was a good villain in this aswell. I am unsure who is the real villain in this film between Stanley and Blanche because they are both very puzzling and mysterious characters to calculate. I think Stanley is more of the villain than Blanche is. The quote Stanley speaks in this film Hey, Steeeeeeella! is a classic and a memorable quote aswell. Vivien Leigh delivers the best performance from the whole cast and in my opinion the greatest leading actress performance of all time. Vivien Leigh portrays a mysterious character who is starting to get old and she still likes fashion design. She goes to visit her sister and meets her husband and she moves in for months and this causes a real rivalry and confrontation between Blanche and Stanley and Blanches younger sister Stella is torn between the two of them. Kim Hunters performance was another outstanding one aswell because she easily showed her emotion towards this character and shows that she cant choose between her husband and her sister. Karl Malden does well aswell as Mitch. Mitch is a man who falls in love with Blanche and he doesnt know how old she is until near the end of the film. I think this film is the best film that I have seen where the entire cast have delivered the best performances. Vivien, Karl and Kim all earned Best Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress Oscars but Marlon was nominated but didnt win. I think that would have made history of two actors and two actresses winning all four Oscars for the same film which this film won 3 of the 4. I dont think a film has ever done that before. Marlon should have won though. His performance in this film is my number 5 Best Leading Actor performance of all time. This is definitely a masterpiece. This film begins with a collaboration between Elia Kazan and Marlon Brando. One of greatest films I have ever seen!!!Hey, you should really see this!
My favourite Marlon Brando film. My 5th favourite leading actor performance (Marlon Brando) and 1st favourite leading actress performance (Vivien Leigh).

The Dark Knight
by DominiquePlot: Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City.
Verdict
Flixster - Share Movies
In reality, the film has brought in $158.3 million, creating an even bigger gap between itself and "Spider-Man 3," which was the previous record-holder at $151.1 million back in May 2007.
My freaking god. The Summer movie of the year and of the decade. And the figures talkes for themself. 158 million for a movie is unbelievable.If the dead of Heath Ledger contribute to this success, i say YES. His performance is Oscar worthy. I will start my review.
-----------
Directing
Christopher Nolan collaboration with Wally Pfister is so freaking good. The shots of the buildings, The batman flying of the buildings and how the camera moves. They both deserve a prize for best directing and best director of photography. I'm speechless!!! Christopher Nolan is my favorite director right now!!!
Acting
All credits of acting goes to Heath Ledger. His potrayal of the joker is so dark, psychopatic and funny. His mimic, his way of walking is freaking scary. i got goosebumps. Aaron Eckhart as Harvery Dent is so convincing and flawless, but when he becomes two face it will blow you away. Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes is way much better than the stupid Katie Holmes. Also a strong performance. Christian Bale is an excellent Batman. Strong and also vulnerable. Great supporting roles by Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and Morgan Freeman.
Sound score
If you see this movie in the IMAX. The sound is so clear and loud. The sound effects are so earblowing. i'm still deaf.

It is got my nomination:
Best Movie

The Dark Knight
by .:SexiVixxENlol,Like I was ever going to give this anything less than 5 stars.In fact just imagine that I drew another 3 or 4 stars on there,Cause YA its just that dam good.I was ready to be blown away and I got just that.Incredible sound too,I want to marry the THX guy.Anyway The cast is so good,I dont know about Maggie though I just don't dig on her too much,but thats a personal thing nothing to do with the movie.So lets get dirty then,Non stop action,It was over before I knew it,A few people have commented how long it seems and that they thought it should be shorter,Um I wasn't ready for it to be over.The whole ferry scene was really a trip,I didn't expect that,very cool.Heath Ledger was absolutely magical,in fact his magic trick made my tummy do a little flip too,but he IS the joker,I will probably get a lot of shit for this I DON"T CARE!Bring it!!! Not only does Heath Ledger play the Joker he evolved into the joker and I am sorry I think he makes Jack Nicholson's joker look like child's play.He smacked his version right outta the dam park !There just IS no comparison.Dark,demented,FEARLESS.I love every twisted second he was on the screen.I can't explain the exhilration of finally getting to see this after waiting for what seemed like eternity,It seemed like the wait got longer too after Heath passed away.But it's like stepping into the front car of the brand new roller coaster and literally after the DC comics logo flashed and it was beginning I felt myself take a deep breath,I knew I was in for a great ride.I shit you not I was like Christmas for me today.I know there will be other good movies this year,I won't LET anything in my heart or mind surpass this movie.Oh and families on a tight budget,I get it,but hear me out.If you have 1 movie that you can go to all year and see in the theater you want it to be this one,I guarantee it.Anyone who waits for this to come out on DVD ,you are cheating yourself out of the full experience.Nolan is a brilliant ,brilliant man,nothing was left out.Seriously,riveted the entire time,the music,plot,characters,everything was totally ON POINT.Here I am adding my extra stars here.Go see this movie ASAP!!! =)***** and 5 more for Heath *****

Aliens
by Audrey-KimI loved "Alien". I really did. But I found myselft disappointed with "Aliens".
After floating around in space for 57 years, Ripley and Jonesy the cat are found by the company. Ripley continues to have horrible dreams about the alien. She gives her report and the company refuses to believe her because they have set up a colony there for the past 20 years without complaints. Suddenly, the company loses contact with the colony and ask Ripley to go. Ripley refuses at first, but the representative from the company assures her that they are going to destroy the creature, not study it. Which is total bull, but for some reason Ripley believes him and decides to go.
Here arises my first dissatisfaction: Ripley knew that the company was no good from the first movie, but she gets fooled by them again. It brings to mind the saying, "Shame on you if you fool me once. Shame on me if you fool me twice." However, without Ripley's consent, there'd be no movie or, at least, no movie with Sigourney Weaver and that wouldn't be as fun. Moving on.
Ripley goes with the Marines and the representative from the company. Ripley tries to warn everyone that they could be in bad trouble, but nobody really pays attention except Corporal Hicks. They arrive on the planet and find that no one is there and the colonists had set up a lab to study the aliens. The crew moves on and finds an eight-year old girl, who appears to be the sole survivor of the planet.
My second dissatisfaction with the movie: we know wihin the first ten or twenty minutes of the movie that aliens are on the planet. But we have to sit through another thirty to forty minutes of nonsense, i.e. the little girl and the disbelief of the crew, until we actually see the aliens. The pacing was almost unbearably slow for me. I was actually bored a couple of times, which never happened to me in the first movie.
So the movie progresses on...slowly...and finally a nest is found with all the colonists in it. It turns out that the alien keeps the colonists alive so they can be used as hosts to produce more aliens. So now we are dealing with hundreds of aliens, not just one. Ripley tells the commanding officer to order the crew to pull out and not to use their guns, but of course, no one listens and the aliens attack the Marines. Ripley saves those she can, but inevitably some have died.
My thrid beef: Ripley told the Marines that they could be in bad trouble and they laughed at her. Now that they find the aliens, they bitch and moan consisently throughout the movie. SHUT UP, for Christ sakes. My fourth annoyance: in the first movie, the alien's blood damn nearly ate through the ship and that was only a little bit. With hundreds of aliens, wouldn't everyone just melt and die or, at the very least, just lose arms and legs after shooting the aliens and splattering blood everywhere? Ah, the joys of plotholes.
And the movie goes on...and we find that the company is up to their old tricks (which anyone with brains or anyone that saw the first "Alien" could have guessed at the beginning of the movie) and Ripley takes care of the little girl and the aliens get in the ship and attack people...etc. etc. etc. And then comes the best part of the movie. The annoying little girl does something useful and gets kidnapped by the aliens. Therefore, Ripley has to save her (which makes me think--doesn't Ripley always have to go back and save her pets? She had to save Jonesy the cat in "Alien" and now she's saving the little girl. But I digress). And has one hell of an awesome showdown with the queen, which is like the alien on steroids due to its gigantic size. I rated the movie an extra star due these last 40 minutes.
Overall, it was mainly the pacing that was so horribly slow for the first hour or so, that turned me off this movie. I could watch (and I have) the entire movie of "Alien" again and again without feeling bored. But with "Aliens", there'd be several parts I'd definitely fast-foward through.I know most of my friends have seen this, so this is more like "sharing controls" or whatever.

Batman Begins
by .:SexiVixxENOk ya'll OMG! I KNOW I am going to hear so much crap about this,but hear we go I am stepping out on a limb and owning this.Ok for some wacko reason I thought I had seen this movie thats why it was rated this whole time.Um yeah well,over the past week I have been in an argument with myself about Christian Bale being Batman,I remember Kilmer,Keaton blah blah but trying to recall details with Bale was leading to no where.So luckiliy it was showing on cable and lo and dam behold I just watched this for the first time tonight.What an AWESOME movie.Liam Neeson was a great surprise.I loved it beginning to end,I am SOOOOOO ready for The Dark Knight its like the kid who can't sleep the Night before Christmas.It's ridiculous!Anyway so there is my ugly confession of the week.I sure do wish I knew the reason that Katie Holmes did not want to play Rachel in the Dark Knight,if anyone knows will you please fill me in.Oh,by the way if you as well have not seen this.I totally recommend it.Especially if you want to be fully ready for The Dark Knight.=)

The Fugitive Kind
by Veronique"thr fugitive kind" is another terrific piece scripted by tennesse williams, and it is adequately casted with marlon brando and ann magnani as williams' two archetyped characters in his plays: sexually dissatisfied female with great willpower vs luscious male with stormy sex antagonism. the harsher extreme exemplification would "streatcar named desire" as brando's stanley is the central object of desire, perhaps williams' personal inclination does contribute to his various creations of "homme fatale" which is men who are the seductors casting or catalyzing doom to women.
by this time, brando is the alluring drifter with snakeskin jacket and guitar by his side, a symbol of his uninhibited nature, an aloof poise which fascinates women with masochistic tendency. and two women become the prey under his charm: one lewd exhibitionist and one shrew with tangled past. somehow he's employed by the latter whom he also falls in love with. but the malice of the woman's invalid spouse brings forth catastrophe to everyone, nothing left but a snakeskin jacket remained from a fire disaster, another symbol of williams' poetric tragedy, and one fugitive kind seeks another to compensate.
brando's male beauty has not been in the prime blossom as he was in 1951 "streetcar named desire", by 1959, he starts to bare some rugged ripeness. anna magnani, who makes her fame in "the rose tattoo", is perfect casting choice as the elder woman whose vigor of life is mighty enough to lure brando without being perished into pieces by him.
"the fugitive kind" is one good example of the significance of the scriptor, and the movie's functionality all relies upon the pearly lines of tennesse williams and his metaphoric usage of lust and death which are frequent themes in his plays as well as the occasional dialogues of existential futility which are too lengthy to be mentioned here. "fugitive kind" requires your thorough attention to chew over the clever words of pessismistic wisdom, far from a mindless pleasure you could squander over.as one of the great rebel/method actors in the beat generation, brando showcases another charm due to sexual antagonism in "fugutive kind", also scripted by tennesse williams, and this time he meets his female counterpart, anna magnani whose individuality is sharp enough to emulate his. if you like great plays as you enjoy "streetcar name desire" as well as "rose tattoo"..."fugitive kind" is also a great choice for your food of thoughts.

The Dark Knight
by LindaOnce again director Christopher Nolan did not disappoint the audience with this dark masterpiece. THE DARK KNIGHT completes with BATMAN BEGINS. Although the running time of the film is quite long, the 2-hour and 30-minute will pass faster than expected.
The action is mind blowing. The story is very well-written. It is both very entertaining and smart. From the set to the camerawork, Nolan knows how to compose an atmosphere to a film in order to experience the world of the characters.
As for the acting, it is one of a few films which use an all-star cast for a good reason and not just to put them on screen. They all have their own moments in the film. It should also be mentioned that Christian Bale is Batman all the way. He beats any other portrayals of Batman. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a clearly a better choice as the female interest. Lastly, the astonishing performance by the late Heath Ledger is ,by far, his best performance ive ever seen. He is completely mad, hilarious and scary, all at the same time. He represents madness in every sense of the word and he portrays it so well that we just want to see more of The Joker.
THE DARK KNIGHT is one of the best superhero films, if not, the best ive seen. The story is complete. The action is spectacular. And watching Batman and The Joker going against each other is quite a ride.Hey, you should really see this! I widely recommend this film to be seen in theaters.
