Rain Man

Dr. Bruner: Raymond, wouldn't you feel more relaxed in your favorite K-Mart clothes?
Charlie: Tell him, Ray.
Raymond: K-Mart sucks.
Dr. Bruner: Oh, I see.
This is an excellent and enormously moving film with an astounding performance from Hoffman together with a fantastic performance form Cruise.
I was not interested in movie at first but I am glad I stumbled across it, defiantly deserved those four Oscars.
A must see poignant film about brotherly love.
Charlie: What you have to understand is, four days ago he was only my brother in name. And this morning we had pancakes.
I Am Legend
PG-13
Neville: Nothin' happened the way it was supposed to happen.
Will Smith proves once again he is a great actor, he plays Robert Neville a man dealing with the isolation of being the last man on earth as a virus has wiped out the worlds population. A virus with Neville is immune to. The only company he has comes in the form of this trusty canine Sam.
Smith portrays the characters sanity well; his delusions were believable although humorous at times. One scene in particular was immensely sad involving his best friend Sam and the way Neville chose to deal with it.
Post-apocalyptic New York was visually amazing the grass growing everywhere, the buildings, cars still stuck in traffic and the broken bridges were magnificently done and most importantly of all looked authentic.
One of the things I disliked and judging by most of the other reviews so did other people, was the 'infected people' or the dark seekers done by CGI, they just seemed unrealistic and in a way ruined the movie a little as deserted New York looked astounding whilst dark seekers were dismal.
The first hour or so was great to watch but the last parts felt rushed, the ending was always going to be predictable, and despite the flaws it is defiantly worth watching.
Neville: What the hell are you doing out here, Fred? Fred, if you're real, you better tell me right now!
There's Something About Mary
R
Ted: I couldn't believe that she knew my name. Some of my best friends didn't know my name.
Classic hilarious gross out comedy with great cast.
Mary: Is that... is that hair gel?
Step Up
PG-13
Tyler Gage: Do I look like I own tights?
Reasonably Entertaining.!
Great soundtrack, good dance moves scattered throughout but the plot has been done a million times so the movie is very predictable with some bad acting thrown in.
At times, it kind of dragged on but worth a watch for Channing Tatum.! ;)
Nora: You know what this means, right?
Tyler Gage: No, what's it mean?
Nora: You're gonna have to get some tights.
10 Things I Hate About You
PG-13
Patrick: It's not everyday you find a girl who'll flash someone to get you out of detention.
This modern remake of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew is actually quite good it's cute, funny and along with some memorable moments like the "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" scene which make this movie watchable and enjoyable.
Julia Stiles was good as the unpopular, rebellious, boy-hating, feminist Kat. Heath Ledger was great as rebel Patrick Verona in a movie from his ealry days. Defiantly one of the better teen movies I have seen wouldn't mind watching this again.
Cameron: And, um, and here's another problem. Bianca said that Kat likes pretty guys.
Patrick: [looks confused and slowly rises] Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?
Michael: H-He's very pretty. He's a gorgeous guy.
Cameron: Yeah. I-I just wasn't sure. I didn't know.
Michael: [gives him two thumbs up] You're a gorgeous guy.

Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
by DanThe main point of the documentary was NOT to find Osama Bin Laden, i'm sure many of you gathered that. As a friend of mine said, if the heavy numbered military can't find him how can one man? What this docu-movie does go out to find (and show) is that the majority of people in the Middle East are just like you and me. Parts of the movie were sadening, parts were shocking, but much of it was funny and humane. It has unique elements that make it feel slightly different to a standard documentary without straying from the subject matter. It also opens your eyes to how the citizens of the Middle East view the USA. Morgan Spurlock is an entertaining documentarian. He comes across as incredibly down to earth and is very likable.
An informative documentary that will get you thinking about a serious subject in between spouts of laughter

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
by DeanJust as good as the first pretty much, if maybe not quite as tense or shocking. Very gory and violent, just like the first and similar to the hills have eyes. If you can handle the gore and are a horror fan you'll enjoy this.

Untraceable
by ♥LisaReally Cool flick I liked this one.Yeah it smelled a little predictible here and there but who cares? The twisted concept of this movie was like a weird cross between Se7en and The Saw movies, so if you like either of those or both you will most likely love this.Intense at times I did enjoy this movie.I am recommending this one.=)

The House on Sorority Row
by John"House On The Sorority Row" delivers a great slasher experience as it's gory, suspenful, and very well directed. The acting and fun factor are interesting as you can imagine the outcome of the movie but you're never sure about it. The best thing about the movie is the creepy atmosphere.

Hatchet
by DeanTagged as an old school American horror this definitely felt like watching an older horror film along the lines of Friday the 13th. However mixed with some very over the top gore from more recent horror films and you get this. Featuring cameos from Robert Englund, Tony Todd and Kane Hodder. There are plenty of jokes, gore and all the other ingredients that horror fans love about slasher films in this.

American Gangster
by DeanA great film with great actors and well directed. I watched the extended edition and it flew by for me despite being close to 3 hours long. It's not as violent or graphic as the likes of Casino, Goodfellas but it is as equally as immersing as those gangster films. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting. If you like gangster or mafia films you'll love this!

Day Watch (Dnevnoi Dozor)
by Alexander''I shall control the fate of the world...''
[gets stabbed from behind]
''But you can't even control your own fate.''
A man who serves in the war between the forces of Light and Dark comes into possession of a device that can restore life to Moscow, which was nearly destroyed by an apocalyptic event.
Konstantin Khabensky: Anton
Mariya Poroshina: Svetlana
I thought very highly of Night Watch and I wasn't disappointed in this sequel, but I'd say despite the HIGHLY imaginative artistic effects it's a bit more confusing and complex to it's predecessor.
I think I need to watch it again as there is alot to take in and ultimately you need to have seen the first to make heads or tails of it.
Day Watch is a blend of Matrix and Blade Runner shaken up in a Russian blended mesh that oozes style and intelligence.
I have to mention the visuals are excellent and amazing to see the other side, the flip side of the coin focusing on the bad, The Day Watch.
It's got one of those endings that concludes the epic.
An artistic fantasy adult mini-Masterpiece, Day Watch delivers.Worth seeing if your a fan of the first.
May confuse many who expect simplicity in plot.posted 4 days ago -

Iron Man
by IlyaIron Man (2008)
Directed by Jon Favreau
Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges"Tony Stark: [reading the newspaper] Iron Man? That's kinda catchy"Tony Stark is a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armour and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armour and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
Iron Man was touted to be a good film from the start, but boy; I didn't expect it to be "that" good. It is primarily good because of its stunning special effects. Now, those who are familiar with Iron Man comic book or even those who have seen the TV series will know what I am talking about. For others who are not familiar with Iron Man, this film has a strong storyline that shows briefly how Tony Stark came up with the Iron Man suit and why did he actually decided to create it. You will also see a man who decided to change his life, in order to fight against evil and help all those innocent people from getting killed. Sounds familiar? Yes, the story is not original but it is well delivered.
The plot is a typical superhero story; a guy who uses his talent for doing something completely irrelevant or something that only makes his life better, (creating weapons of mass destruction and selling them worldwide in this case) but after a terrible situation that put his life in danger opened his eyes, and so he decided to use his knowledge by helping humanity and protecting civilians from the bad guys. Only one difference to most of the other super hero flicks: just like Batman, Iron Man doesn't have any super powers. He is a normal man, only he is extremely good at machinery and engineering. He is a genius. So, while Tony Stark has being attacked by terrorists, he was brutally injured by his own weapon during the attack. This made him realise that he wasted his life by creating something that takes lives of innocent people. After the incident, he constructs a suit which will help him escape from his kidnappers an later on; he will create a much better version of this suit, in order to protect people around the world. But unfortunately for Tony, there is someone that wants to stop him from helping people, someone who only wants to earn money by causing other people deaths, and therefore Tony Stark must face this person and stop him from killing him and everyone else.
Robert Downey Jr. Plays Tony Stark. A thing about playing a superhero in the movie like Spider-Man or X-Men is that people will remember you for your role, no matter how well or bad you performed in this movie. Robert most certainly will be remembered as one of the best actors to play a superhero. He did ever so great; he acted as a typical jackass millionaire at the start of the movie, but later on he changed, he became more responsible and grateful for things he could have achieved if he was using his knowledge in a good way. He was witty, hilarious and the way he said all of his dialogues, all that was fantastic. He handled the role well, even though he is older that Tony Stark. Gwyneth Paltrow played Tony's fiancé Pepper Potts. She and Robert had a lot of mixture between them, they looked great together and their dialogues were often hilarious yet romantic. Terrence Howard played James Rupert Rhodes, a close friend of Stark and his future superhero partner War Machine. Terrence were good in his role, even though at times he looked a bit out of place, he was generally fine and even funny at times. Even though we don't get to see him as War Machine, we get a hint that he will definitely use the suit in the next Iron Man movie. Finally, Jeff Bridges plays Obadiah Stane, Tony's business partner and later his primal enemy of this film, Iron Monger. Jeff is extremely good as a bad guy, I can guarantee that you will dislike his character after the first time you see him in the movie.
Most of the superhero movies are famous for its special effects but this one had more than that. The dialogues were really good; they are brilliant throughout the whole movie. Cinematography is great, the light mixture is good and it is easy to watch the whole movie without moving your eyes away from the screen.
Overall, Iron Man movie is a pleasure to watch, especially on the big screen. While most of the superhero movies don't have what it takes to be called "super", Iron Man rose beyond expectations and quite easily became one of this year's best superhero movies. A massive credit to John Favreau for creating this stunning film that can be truly remembered as one of the best in its category.
Review Date: 11th of May, 2008.Hey, you all probably seen this by now,and so have I (about a week ago), but I didn't had time to do a review straight away, and so i only finished it now. Definitly the best superhero I have seen so far, after Batman Begins of course. My mate at the ciname said after the film finished : " surely there is no film better than Iron Man in its category", on which I replied: " just you wait until The Dark Knight"...
