Zombieland
R
It has all the formulas on being a perfect zombie movie, the style of the editing, genius comic ideas, fast-paced, bloody and funny. But after all, the zombie movie lovers wanted more. The climax was approached by the film instantly, we would have enjoyed it a lot longer. I consider that the much more aggressive zombies are more exciting compared to the slower zombies shown in Shaun of the Dead. Zombieland doesn't need to stop the time just to create a funny scene, it minimizes all the boring bits in Shaun of the Dead, because even when they're in action they can still make you laugh. Woody Harrelson enjoyed his character so much and so did I, one of the coolest in a horror genre. Bill Murray's cameo is unexpectedly fun, I love the scene when he pretended to be one of those starving flesh eaters and got shot in the chest, and I knew already what's going to happen before it did, but the gag still worked for me, very hilarious. Absolute zombie entertainment, it didn't slow down up to the end. Instead of watching this to get frightened, it will serve as a relief from a stressful day. Maybe it wasn't the scariest zombie movie ever made, but no doubt it was the coolest of all. I hope to see the sequel not as bad as most of the horror sequels.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
PG-13
Kubrick's idea was a masterpiece, but he passed away too soon without even filming a single scene, so Spielberg rescued his wonderful idea and brought it to life. Really, without Kubrick's assistant, Spielberg did almost an impossible job to make this film amazing, full of great visual effects and combined with a drama that is somehow similar to Pinocchio's. A.I. is underrated, the people underestimated Spielberg's ability and they surely missed Kubrick's perfectionism and style, but I say, "Although not accurate, this is how Kubrick would have done it if he had a chance, and A.I. is full of Kubrick's styles and only the talent of Spielberg would have accomplish such a risk."

The Godfather, Part II
R
2nd Greatest Film. The Godfather Part II was brilliant because of the two main characters (Michael and Vito), because of the main actors (Pacino and De Niro). I really admire De Niro in his portrayal of the young Vito Corleone. I mean his amazing. Pacino was even better in the sequel (the acting job). The best sequel ever made. If wasn't for the portrayal of the young Vito, this film wouldn't be as great as it was. But, in my opinion, the original was better than the sequel.
The Godfather
R
The Greatest Film. The best film by Coppola. The best crime film. The best film adapted from a novel. The Godfather is entertaining. You have great acting, characters with different personalities and charisma of their own: Sonny, Tom, Vito, and of course Michael. You have one great casting with amazing performances and sincerely, every minute of Godfather is worth to be called a classic. Some say it's boring and disappointing, I say they didn't get the movie when they watch it, but the more they watched the film, the more they went into the plot, the characters, the story, the whole atmosphere of the movie, and they finally understood the truth about The Godfather.
