The Bunker (1981)
Laughable
I am someone who loves history and have and always will be fascinated with what went down in World War II especially the last days of Hitlers life. However Anthony Hopkins performance is very laughable I could not take him seriously, when he went into his tirade I could not understand a thing he was saying. The only movie in my honest opinion that deserves praise is Downfall Bruno Gantz performance as Hitler is very believable, his performance gave me goosebumps and made me believe that he was really Hitler and that I actually there witnessing this.
If you want to see a real movie based on Hitlers last moments Downfall is that movie, it is in German which you can not ask for anything more. All performances who have tried to act as Hitler have failed, Bruno Gants is the only actor that needs to play Hitler. Anthony Hopkins performance makes Hitler into a raging, comical maniac where as, Bruno Ganz plays Hitler as delusional, hateful and cruel man -- but also human.
The Tree of Life (2011)
Beautifully Made
This movie is not for everyone, some of you will find this movie as pointless and and boring others will view this movie as a masterpiece. I will not spoil this film so let me just explain what you are to expect in this type of movie. It runs 134 minutes, the film interprets the story by visual affects and an amazing musical score that fits with it. The story is also told in narratives by main characters with some conversations between them as a family. This film does not have a lot of dialog but it is easy to understand what each character is going through.
It is a slow movie, the first 30 minutes is very slow but it does pick up and the story starts to unfold in which you can have a sense of understanding for each character and what they go through. What I want to say for those who are going to rent this movie to watch it, watch it with an open mind and try to get the big picture. It is not a complex film the visuals and the music makes it easier to understand what is going on. This film basically explains the fragility of life we can come into this world in such a complex matter but we can disappear in a blink of an eye.

Supernatural: Swan Song (2010)
By Far The Best Season Finale Tet!
Those who have kept up, and are hard core Supernatural fans will be please with the season finale of Supernatural Season 5 Swan Song. The episode from the beginning to end will not only keep you off your seats but will tear away at your every bitter emotion, as well leaving you shocked with twists that you never saw coming. The leading actors of Jared, And Jenson was nothing more then brilliant!. Supporting actors Misha, and JimB were fantastic hats of to you.
Review: I don't want to spoil anything for you guys, therefore i will make this spoiler free. When season finale 3 ended I thought it was the most heart wrenching finale i had ever seen, the fact that dean went to hell, for making a deal to bring his brother back was just heart wrenching. However i don't think i have ever seen a better season finally until this episode. I could not stop standing, for an hour! i stood waiting for the damn commericals to end. The acting was just amazing as i said before! Everything was superb, music, visuals, everything!. However! Nothing! AND I MEAN NOTHING! Compares to the last 15-20 minutes of the finale. Especially the last 10 minutes. Last 10 minutes was not only brilliant, but i believe in my heart that this season final was the best season finale i have ever seen!.
Finally: This episode had no faults. I could not pick anything wrong with it. I give it a perfect 10. And its rare, to find a series that averages a 9+ rating in almost every episode! I just hope that they do not milk the series, like they have in smallville, and buffy the vampire slayer, i think 1 or 2 more seasons should be good. I thought this would be a perfect series finale the way it ended. However that wont be the case and im happy because i want more supernatural!
The Lion King (1994)
The Greatest Disney Movie Ever and The Last of It's Kind
I am a Disney fan, i loved the little mermaid, beauty and the beast, mulan, aladdin. However the one movie that stood out the most for me as a child, and still i don't have (cant wait for it to come on blu-ray in 2011!) is Lion King. Though I have only seen it once, i remember the story perfectly scene for scene song for song story. Lion king came out in 1994, i was 8 years old, it has been 16 years and i still remember, thats how you know a movie is great or not.
It is sad that Disney movies have failed Lion King was the last of its kind, though the new Disney movie the princess and frog (i think thats what is called) is good, and brings back the old traditional Disney style, it still can not compare to Lion King, no animated film could either. For those who have never seen it (especially the younger generations) you need to buy it the first thing it comes out, and experience the greatest animated film of all time.
I am proud to have been born in the 80's i was fortunate to experience the best most movies of my time, the experience then could never match the experience of now. Children will never experience lion king in the theater where it was absolutely stunning,just like future generations will never experience Avatar in 3d and other amazing movies.
Enough of my ranting, and my reminiscence of the past.
10/10!
Avatar (2009)
The Experience of a Life Time, The movie to rule them all!
First I would like to say, if your a james cameron fan you will love this film. If your not a james cameron fan you will love this film regardless. Here is my review in 5 simple sections Story: Though the story can be cliché do to the love scenes. However it does not mater, because the story is more focused towards Pandora the world of the navis. That is where the true heart of the story lies captivating and amazing! I was constantly out of my seat and had occasional goose bumps! 10/10 Acting: Simply amazing! 10/10 Music score: Fantastic, i loved this movie so much i hardly ever buy sound tracks based on movies but the score was phenomenal james hornor did an amazing job! 10/10 Graphics: Its simple, i have never in my 22 years of living have seen anything so beautiful in my life. Avatar is by far the most beautiful looking movie i have ever seen. The 3d experience is to die for!. I wish the seats in the movie moved to that would have been awesome!. 10/10 Conclusion: I'm a james cameron fan there for i can be biased and say that i love this move. However i have seen a lot of movies. And my favorite movie for the past 16 years has been Rocky 1. Now Avatar has repalced it. Avatar to me is the best movie i have ever seen. LIke the title summary says. This movie is the movie to rule them all. It means that this movie is the future for all movies. This is a stepping stone to what the future of films will look like. As i said before this is by far the best movie i have ever seen in my entire life.
10/10 MUST WATCH!
