Into the Grizzly Maze (2015)

Best Killer Bear movie i've ever seen!

[8/10 · 17 June 2015]

I have seen so many killer bear movies, and none of them have really pulled it off really well. I am pleased to say that this is the best killer bear movie I have ever seen. How you can train a bear to do all of that is completely amazing! The plot is pretty good, but not great. But at the same time, it's quite simple. People are getting killed in the Grizzly Maze and when a bunch of rednecks come by and start killing the bear's babies, you can imagine it doesn't help the situation at hand. The bear is now angry, and goes on an even bigger rampage to kill everything and everyone.

The acting was good, especially from James Marsden, Piper Perablo and Billy Bob Thornton. Billy Bob Thornton plays the professional, greedy, annoying bear hunter, and to be honest, he was hardly in it. He was only in it for 15 minutes.

Overall, it was a great movie. I was never bored. I was always interested. The script was a bit weak, but the main actors did well with what they had.

Overall, I would give this movie an 8/10. The final showdown was pure genius! And Bart The Bear is the best acting bear I have ever seen! Definitely recommended.

Dumb and Dumber To (2014)

I laughed from beginning to end and I clapped, as did the THEATER!

[10/10 · 8 January 2015]

This is probably the second comedy I've seen now where the critics and many other people surrounding it were saying how terrible it was. I was not bored for a second. my gut was hurting from laughter! I was a huge fan of the original. I grew up with Harry and LLoyd, the two dumb butts, and I missed seeing them, so I got what i wanted, a sequel after 20 years of waiting! It all starts with LLoyd being in a Nursing Home (psychotic center) and has been crazy for all these years, or so Harry and everyone had thought! The whole time it turned out it was a prank. One of the best pranks ever! Then it introduces where it left off 20 years ago. Introducing a lot of the old characters and getting to see the changes made to the house etc. Then we get straight into the plot. Harry receives a letter that he did not open 20 years ago (how dumb) and he finds out he is a father and has a daughter and him and LLoyd embark on a huge road trip to find her.

Nothing can describe to you how Happy and how much I laughed hysterically at this movie. It was so good to see Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels back on screen together playing the two butt holes, Harry and Lloyd. I enjoyed every second of it! And yet, i see it has awards for worst Male image, Worst Picture etc. I can't see how. I thought it was hilarious, as did the rest of my theater. I clapped at the end and as did the other people in the theater! A hysterical ride. I would watch it, over and over, and over again. Great that they did a sequel! Brought back so many memories! 10/10

By the way, everyone keeps bragging about how this movie will be getting loads of nominations at the razzie Awards, but I bet everybody all the money in the world, The razzies wont give this movie one nomination!

The Expendables 3 (2014)

Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad.

[6/10 · 6 September 2014]

Within seconds from when this film starts, you know you are in for a good ride. Cool characters, witty/corny dialog, explosions and most important of all...A POPCORN FLICK. I will start this film off with the bad notes, because, like everything I do, I always love to leave on a good note! Bad Notes: Putting Jet Li in the movie was completely pointless. He was only in it for 2 mins, he shoots a few bad guys right at the end and that's it. Jet Li is a talented fighter, and he should always be givin' the opportunity to get every fight scene he can get his hands on. Second of all, Kelsey Grammar (mostly famous for Frasier), didn't even have the time to shine. He is setting up Stallone with all these new people Stallone wants to hire for the job, and Grammar just does not get the chance to even hold a gun or even bash a few people. It would have been very interesting to watch! The story doesn't really go anywhere special. You see where this film is going and you can predict the next scene within 5 minutes before it happens. Wesley Snipes needed more screen time, he only punched a few people and that was it, MORE, MORE MORE! Now...Mel Gibson...such a disappointment. He was great as the villain...and he only is given' about 20 minutes of screen time and a 57 second fight with Sylvester Stallone right at the end. Come on, it's Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) VS Mel Gibson (Mad Max), it is the best idea for a fight scene within the last 5 years and they end it in just under a minute? COME ON! Now, the good notes: It's great to see the whole cast together again. And for such a huge cast, they did really well at trying their best to make sure everybody got some screen time. Antonio Banderas was hilarious as the annoying gunman/fighter. He will kill you just by listening to his annoying voice! Most of the humor came from him. We even get to see is cool gun and fighting skills in the final showdown, just brilliant! Harrison Ford even gets to come into the firepower with a helicopter with guns and missiles! Now, the biggest good note of this is Mel Gibson! He was the best choice to play Mr. Stone! he has the most spookiest/most evil face, it would be enough to scare anybody, anywhere! He is definitely been the best villain so far in The Expendables series so far! I doubt we will see a villain this good ever again! And finally, the newcomers of the team. They were all great, considering the fact, for some of them, it was their first movie role.

All in all, it is worth seeing, but there needed so much more work to be done! 6/10.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

A modern art in the history of cinema.

[9/10 · 20 July 2014]

I loved the film the moment it started. It instantly gives you the whole gist of the movie the second it starts. Apes against the humans and humans against the apes etc. it starts off with how the apes have been surviving up in the woods all these years. How they eat, hunt, how they are slowly starting to learn English and how they have developed their own way of speaking. It impressive, to say the least. You feel like these apes are real apes, and you feel for them every step of the way.

It has been years since the humans have made any sort of contact with the apes and coming and touring their home. Caesar (played again by Andy Serkis) has started in his own family. His son and his new baby (which is just breathtaking to see the new baby being born) and all the apes have their own families and been working dang hard at surviving. One day, however, humans come along (lead by Aussie actor Jason Clarke) and they need to get into the mines to generate power into the city, for in the city they are losing power and need to get some power ASAP. Unfortunately it does not make it easy considering the fact that the mines are right where the apes have been living all this time. There is conflict between the apes and humans, but they start to begin to trust each other. Except one particular ape named Koba (played by Toby Kebbell) has hated humans from day one. He does not trust them. Koba had been tortured and almost skinned alive by the humans until Caesar freed him. Koba makes travels nonstop to the city and notices all the humans are keeping heavy armed guns and the main person in charge named Dreyfus (played by Gary Oldman) is not at all worried for killing all the apes if he has to. Trust begins to crumble and relationships are getting worse. The slowness of the battle begins to take its course.

All in all, it was a fantastic flick and I would watch it again and again, and I hope it goes down in the history of Cinema as been the best film of 2014. Great effects, beautiful shots, fantastic acting (espeicially played by Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell. My only complaint is the human characters ever get a chance to show their side of the story. They had so much emotional stuff to tell, but in the end, it never went deep enough. The main focus was on the apes (maybe not a bad thing) and I think this film should have developed more on the humans. But, excluding that, this film is just breathtaking. An excellent example of what can happen to you when you love, hate and trust somebody. I highly recommend it. 9/10.

Jersey Boys (2014)

An acceptable movie, but it needed a lot of work to be done.

[6/10 · 20 July 2014]

The last scene of "Jersey Boys" is a curtain call of sorts. Set to The Four Seasons' memorable ode to deflowering, "December, 1963," the scene explodes with bright, noisy colors and jubilant voices. It hops from character to character, visually name-checking the entire cast as they sing and dance. The camera-work, editing and lighting foster a genuine sense of excitement. In this finale, "Jersey Boys" feels like the Broadway musical upon which it is based, showcasing the energy and joy that continues to leap off the stage every night in venues from Las Vegas to London.

If only director Clint Eastwood had directed more scenes like this. He ensured his cast would be up to the task by importing several veterans from the stage. Three of the Four Seasons cast in "Jersey Boys" are from various incarnations of the show, including Tony-winner John Lloyd Young, whose Frankie Valli is vocally spot-on and a force to behold. Christopher Walken, no slouch to musicals, is also on hand, doing a bit of a soft-shoe in the aforementioned finale. His performance definitely is very worthy out of all the actors involved. Even "Boardwalk Empire" vet Vincent Piazza, as group member Tommy DeVito, holds his own with the more musically seasoned members of The Four Seasons.

The singing talent is there, but Eastwood and writers Marshall Brickman ("Annie Hall") and Rick Elise opt for a more realistic depiction of events. They transform "Jersey Boys" from jukebox musical to movie biopic, exchanging one much-maligned genre for another. In the process, the focus is shifted; the drama is played up and the music seems shoehorned in where convenient.

This imbalance is forgivable in scenes where the band deals with talent scout Joe Pesci (yes, that Joe Pesci, here in the guise of actor Joey Russo) or interact with one another. The problems arise in the mob-related material, which is seemingly endless. These plot elements are necessary to tell the full story, but the lazy way they are depicted stops the movie cold. We've already seen "GoodFellas," "Mean Streets" and any number of mob-related tales, so Eastwood's take on them feels lifeless. As the catalyst for most of these scenes, Piazza wrings his derivative character for all that he's worth. But Walken, as mob boss Gyp DeCarlo, is given little to do besides commit scene-stealing grand larceny in a weepy moment opposite Young's Valli.

"Jersey Boys" keeps the show's conceit of having each of the Four Seasons tell various aspects of the story. Tommy, Frankie, Nick Massi (Michael Lomenda) and Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen) break the fourth wall at various points to talk to us directly. Since Tommy is both the band's heart and its downfall, he figures into everyone's narrative. Songwriter Gaudio becomes the band's primary songwriter because Tommy acted on a tip from Joe Pesci. Frankie sharpens and perfects his famous falsetto with Tommy's help. And Nick rooms with Tommy for 10 years and sees the worst sides of him.

Whether they're singing or fighting, "Jersey Boys" is at its best when it focuses on the band members' chemistry. The actors know their characters' voices well enough to effortlessly plow through as many Four Seasons songs as the original musical contains. They sound spectacular, and there's enough of each song to satiate fans and newbies alike. But Eastwood shoots so many of these numbers in a matter-of-fact, almost documentary style, static way that the two times he really cuts loose are the film's best moments. The second time is the curtain call finale; the first is Young's hauntingly emotional rendering of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." If you know the song, you'll know what the big mid-number reveal is. Eastwood presents it with stunning gusto, and the reaction Valli gets at the end is as close to a stand-up-and-cheer moment as "Jersey Boys" gets.

Though no longer playing to the back of the house, Young, Bergen and Lomenda still have a tendency to go big in front of the camera. It's most noticeable opposite Piazza's Tommy, who despite his stereotype-ridden role gives the best performance in "Jersey Boys." Yet the vocal talent trumps any minor performance issues incurred. The filmmakers made the right decisions for the leads. This movie will sell many soundtracks.

The elephant in the room is Eastwood himself. He is the wrong director for this material, and this opinion comes from someone who loved "Million Dollar Baby," "Space Cowboys" and even those orangutan movies. He is the wrong choice, but not for the reason you think. Eastwood is adept at handling music in films, from "Bird" to his country music homage to Garbo's "Camille," "Honkytonk Man" (which I also like without shame). But, for once, I have to agree with those who say his style is too laid back. A movie as grungy, profane and blue-collar as "Jersey Boys" needs to feel more alive. When the music's not playing, "Jersey Boys" starts to lull you into mild lethargy. I wonder what fellow Jersey Boy Brian De Palma could have done with this.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

Better than the last two, but does not beat the first one.

[7/10 · 30 June 2014]

Within the first few minutes we are thrown into the action we all know and love. There is quite a lot of character development between all of the characters. While taking its time to introduce the characters such as Mark Wahlberg and his daughter, it does not take long until we come face to face with The Transformers we all love and have awaited for.

The acting is good (especially from Wahlberg), and I was pleasantly surprised with how good Kelsey Grammar is at changing his voice and giving us an evil accent and convincing accent. He ain't no Side Show Bob, let me tell you! Stanley Tucci even had his moments of excellent acting in this action packed movie.

The CGI has improved a lot since the "Dark Moon" and has brought us a new, interesting form of technology. All the new Transformers have all been upgraded to the brand new form of technology. The action scenes are always a blast to watch. Never disappointing in that sense.

But, in all seriousness, I do prefer Mark over Shia (little brat), and I think Mark Wahlberg has proved he can play in almost anything. Nicola Peltz, well, she had me at hello from the moment she showed up on screen. Her legs and her beautiful face in 3-D just wanted me to be with her! Way better than "Dark Moon' and "Revenge of The Fallen." I highly recommend it. But, again, it could have givin' us much more, because by the end, you think "oh, come on, please, a little bit more." 7'10.

Wolf Creek 2 (2013)

Mick Taylor is right up there with Hannibal Lector.

[10/10 · 30 June 2014]

While I loved the first film, I love this one even more. The thing is, you can't compare this one to the first one, due to the fact that they are both so different. The first one had a really slow pace they was leading up to something so great that the whole film worked. This one is action and gore packed from the very beginning. From the moment this one starts you now you are in for a huge roller coaster ride. And the movie does not disappoint in that sense.

The acting was great (obviously the main star being John Jarratt) and we have the German Backpackers and British tourist Paul Hammersmith, played by Ryan Corr. The whole film gives you the feeling that you will never escape from Mick Taylor no matter how hard you try. And a reference to Steven Spielberg's "Duel" car chase that should go down as one of the best car chase scenes in history. Mick Taylor has many memorable and hilarious lines, and some very creepy and thrilling lines as well. The Citizen Test scene will have people thinking about it all night and maybe even all month! I loved it, a great ride from start to finish. 10/10

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

So predictable, with bad (electricity) effects, but had some good scenes.

[5/10 · 19 April 2014]

We start off with the scene we all know and love, Spider-Man fighting criminals. It does not take long for the action to start. Problem for me is, it just did not appeal to me. Surprisingly a good cameo as Paul Giamitti as the first main criminal.

As far as character development goes, it did quite well. Parker and harry Osbourne met for the first time in years. They become quite close and start developing the friendship once more. Little does Parker know that Harry is dying from his Father's DNA an he needs Spider-Man's blood in order to survive. Parker/Spider-Man refuses to do so, as it might have a bad effect. So Harry has other ways of getting to stay alive. I will let you figure out where it goes from there.

We have Jamie Foxx playing Electro. Jamie Foxx, I must admit, did not do a bad job at playing Electro/Max. However, he did not do the best. His electricity effects were so fake, it looked photo shopped. The fight scenes were okay. But, for those wandering about the green Goblin. He was only in it for about 4 and a half minutes with a 3 minute fight scene. Yes, I timed it! The death of Gwen (Emma Stone) was really unexpected, but necessary. It was a very emotional moment.

Overall, I give this movie a 5/10. Way better than the first one, but could have been so much more!

The Raid 2 (2014)

I will never see a fight scene in a movie the same or any better than this!

[10/10 · 7 April 2014]

I saw the first Raid, and while I thought the first one was good, with great editing, acting, gore etc, the second one went beyond my expectations.

It starts off with the hero who is hired to bring down the biggest gangster/mafia man in the country...sadly, it will not be that easy. His family is in danger and the whole country is in danger if these gangsters are not stopped soon enough. So, what does the hero do? He goes into prison, pretending to be the bad guy, punching and injuring over a hundred prisoners and guards, trying to earn the gangster's trust. After 2 years in prison, he is released and taken straight to the gang man himself. He wants in, and the gang lord simply lets him join the team. However, with some Japanese gangsters on the loose, and wanting more power, it makes it harder for our hero. With villains like "Base ball Bat man" and "Hammer Girl", it is going to be a very tough match. Can the hero get through the biggest gang war in his whole life? The editing, the acting, the fighting, the car chase scenes, the action is beyond breathtaking and I have never in my life been so breath taken by something like this before. Screw the Die Hard franchise, this will take anyone's breath away, and if it doesn't, then they are liars.

I recommend this to everybody, but possibly not little kids. Forget the kids for one night and prepare to have your breath taken away. The most underrated film on IMDb in my opinion. It deserves way more recognition. I give this action film a 10/10.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Everything I wanted in a Chucky Movie...is all in this movie.

[10/10 · 31 October 2013]

I have always been a fan of Chucky. I loved all of the Child's Play series. The weakest one for me was Seed Of Chucky, but it wasn't terrible.

Here we have Chucky's whole family introduced. Not only do we have his family introduced, but we have more of his past revealed as well. All the Chucky movies have all been so different and Unique in their own way. It's different because in "Curse Of Chucky" Chucky kills people in so many bizarre, different ways than what he did in all the other ones. And he didn't speak much, which, in my opinion gave it a bit more of a thrill. And we get to see Chucky run around from head to toe, which was never done in any of the other ones. And the fact that everybody from all the other films have been included in this movie.

This Chucky movie is definitely my Best Chucky movie since number 1. I doubt any other future Chucky movies will get better than this. I'm giving this a 10/10! Chucky's Baxk and he's ready to play! By the way, watch until after the credits, Chucky comes face to face with an old friend.

The Heat (I) (2013)

Okay, everybody..you just need to take a step back and think about what you are saying.

[10/10 · 20 October 2013]

I remember when I saw reviews when "The Heat" first came out, everybody, and I mean everybody was bashing this movie. Saying it was worthless, stupid, vulgar, pointless etc. It even got to the stage where people were getting so offensive and making death threats to the film makers. Seriously, all of you, i'm here to tell you, BACK THE HELL OFF! And, for those people out there, who are really smart, do not believe what you have been told. This movie is truly great in so many different ways.

It is, indeed, the stereotypical buddy-cop type movie. But, if you can exclude that cliché, it is actually, extremely well thought out and well put together.

We start off with a professional, smart agent named Detective Ashburn (Sandra Bullock). She has everything you could have. She's smart, intelligent, polite, so committed to her job that it makes other officers look bad. Yet, somehow, has relationship troubles, does not have any friends, and just works, works, works until she can sleep.

Now, we have Officer Mullins (Melissa McCarthy . She is the complete opposite of Ashburn. Mullins is vulgar, crude, rough, tough, mean and says the f word almost in every sentence, and is not afraid to shoot your dick off or throw watermelons at you! Both of them are fighting over a serious case over a serial killer named Larkin. Larkin means business, this man kills families, and is not afraid to kill anyone who gets in his way of either drugs or murder.

The humor is a combination of everything. There is a lot of witty humor, and at the same time, loads of vulgar humor. I loved the chemistry between Mullins and Ashburn as well. I like how we watch them slowly have a connection with each other and start talking about each others lives and how they start forming a friendship they have never had before.

In my opinion, hilarious, lots of action, lots chemistry and loads of fun. Don't know where everyone else went wrong! 10/10

Scary Movie V (2013)

You will laugh at least twice..and that's a fact.

[4/10 · 24 April 2013]

I thought all the references all came together quite nicely. However, it is not all that funny. I don't recall even laughing at all during the Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen scenes. It just had nothing to offer. And it went nowhere. There were scenes, however that were funny. i enjoyed Snoop Dogg's short performance. He was actually quite funny. I also thought the Nanny in the Paranormal Activity reference was hilarious.

There were plenty of scenes I found funny, but some of them were just so stupid and just so bland that it wasn't funny. I hated the Black Swans references. They just weren't funny at all. It had nothing intelligent to say. It's like a 5 year old just told them what to do.

But there are funny scenes in it, just needed so much more. 4/10

Iron Man Three (2013)

It does bring a new style to the comic book movies..but there are so many noticeable plot holes.

[7/10 · 23 April 2013]

This movie had a lot of excitement going for it. And I can see why, but it did miss the mark in some places.

When Tony Stark/ Iron man (Robert Downey JR) is threatened by a terrorist by the name of Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), Tony must face him. It is Iron Man's best fight and challenge yet! However, the new suit...it was too CGI. And it was so bright. It was too bright to even look at. The rest of the CGI was fine, though! What is actually quite new is that we actually get to see Tony Stark fight without his suit on many times! While I wanted to see more of him inside the suit, I loved the fact that we get to see him fight without it on, which is quite impressive. We also get to see Pepper (Gwenyth Paltrow) fight a few times, which is also quite impressive.

We also get to meet nice new characters along the way. And they are all fitted in quite nicely.

However, there are so many mistakes and plot holes that it's too noticeable and laughable. I wont give them all away, for most of them are spoilers, but let's just say, people made out of fire, and their t-shirts and pants don't burn. You will notice them as you watch the movie.

But apart from that, it's a new (original) comic book movie and is definitely worth seeing. 7/10 By the way, the twist was great! You'll see. :)

Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

I was expecting it to be a bad movie..and so were many others.

[8/10 · 23 April 2013]

This movie looked so bad from the trailer. Didn't really look like it could pull it off and didn't look promising. However, I was quite wrong.

While it may not be the best movie in the world, it was far from the worst. The movie is obviously an adventure film and it does take you there to the adventure pretty quickly after it introduces the characters.

We all know the fairy tale. The beanstalk grows and Jack climbs up it and finds giants. Now, what this movie tends to do quite successfully is it gives us the tale of the old Jack And The Beanstalk, along with new features. Like, the whole idea of the giants taking over the kingdom etc. Most movies fail in that sense. Some movies either follow the fairy tale or story and some wont follow it at all and just do their own version of it. But this movie does both, which is quite clever and well worked out.

The acting was fine, however I do find Nicholas Hoult quite annoying. But i'm sure somewhere along the line he will get better and have a great career. Even the voices of the giants where all put together nicely. Bill Nighy was (and always is) a great choice for playing a villain. The effects were excellent. Don't let people ruin it for you by listening to them bragging on about how terrible the effects are. I like the fact that the giants are done in a way, where they look different, but not fake.

For those who are a fan of him, be on the look out for Warwick Davis. He is only in it for a minute, but he (as always) gives a great performance.

Also, the ending was very unexpected. Make sure you stay all the way to the end, because people were already walking out of the theater, because they thought it was over. But don't let the movie fool you. Just when you thought it was over, the giants come down and attack! So don't be fooled! Overall, a great movie and I will be definitely getting it on DVD. Definitely worth checking out. 8/10

Seven Psychopaths (2012)

Absolutely hilarious and very original!

[10/10 · 16 November 2012]

When this movie first starts, you have no clue what so ever as to where the plot will take you! It's very unpredictable. When the story starts it takes on an adventure and very funny situations.

The acting was top notch. And come on, IT'S CHRISTOPHER WALKEN! I mean, this Guy can do anything! So, it's obvious he was going to give a great performance!

It has excellent direction from the director and it's very well written! It would be very fair to say that this movie did exactly it was supposed to do, it was meant to surprise and it did EXACTLY that!

10/10 for me.

Bait (III) (2012)

It's definitely one of the top 5 Shark Movies ever made.

[7/10 · 3 October 2012]

This movie has been in production for quite sometime.I'm usually not big on shark movies, only because they tend to disappoint. The best ones i've ever seen are, of course, Jaws and Deep Blue Sea.

The movie is pretty typical, but, at the same time, very cheesy, but mind you, on purpose. It starts off introducing the characters one by one. They do introduce them rather quickly, only because they want to get straight to the point and story.

Basically it's about a robbery that goes wrong. And then we have the tsunami. The Tsunami hits the whole town and the whole people in the supermarket and kills some people and some people manage to survive. I bet you wish you died in the tsunami, cause now there are 2 very hungry, great white sharks in the supermarket. One is in the food aisle section and the other one is in the car park.

It does indeed get thrilling, cheesy, funny at times. There are attempts at humour, but it isn't really a comedy, it's more an action/horror/thriller. But, again, it is really cheesy at times. Maybe not such a bad thing.

The effects on the sharks may be disappointing at times, but it is better than 95% of shark movies out there.

The acting is good, and cheesy when they need to be. It is well written and directed and it does get boring at times, but then it quickly snaps back into action.

Overall, I say check it out. It's the best shark movie you'll see for a while, so definitely check it out.

7/10.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Definitely the best Shark movie since Jaws.

[8/10 · 3 October 2012]

I've always enjoyed Deep Blue Sea since I was 9 years old. It's just so much to watch.

Basically, in the middle of the ocean..hundreds of miles away from anything..you have a special scientist lab to experiment on sharks. You have people doing experiments on them to change the way their brain cells think. Trying to make sharks think differently and make them smarter etc. For example, the whole plan was to make the sharks smarter, meaning, they wouldn't mistake seals for humans and wouldn't come near humans ever again. But, unfortunately, instead, it was the opposite, the sharks got smarter on how to catch and kill the human. The whole plan backfired.

Now, in the middle of the sea, in the middle of nowhere. These sharks break into the scientist lab and the whole lab is now flooded with water and they are all now racing to stay one step ahead of these 3 sharks.

The acting (especially from LL Cool J) is really good. Not the best acting ever, but definitely real and incredibly down to earth.

And I have to say this now, it had the most original ending i've possible ever seen. Finally, a film where all the women die and a film where a black man survives! That, to me, is just fantastic, cause you hardly ever see that. I give Deep Blue Sea 8/10.

Rock of Ages (2012)

Honestly...Tom Cruise and Catherine Zeta Jones are the best singers. The rest are terrible.

[4/10 · 3 October 2012]

As soon as this movie starts we are thrown immediately into a Glee meets Rock song! It was interesting the way it started, but as within the next 10 mins it got ridiculous. Okay, for example, the girl (Julianne Hough) got her bag robbed by a thief and the so called, young boy hero ( Diego Boneta) comes to the rescue and let's the guy just get away and says "Man, this must suck for you." Ridiculous things like that happen through out the whole movie.

And seriously, both the main stars Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta are just plan annoying. Their singing is atrocious and just downright terrible.

Catherine Zeta Jones was great, but still quite decent She has done much better roles. And the whole movie is just so stupid and so far fetched that it's not even funny. I know it's a musical, but still.

Tom Cruise saved this movie. Why he chose to surround himself with talentless singers and actors is totally beyond me! Maybe that's his way of being the star...not sure. Alec Baldwin was great as well. He sung "I love Rock N Roll" extremely well. Most of the humor comes from Russel Brand, so he was clearly there for the Comedy, but he does sung, but in a comedic way.

So, I say see this movie just for Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin. Tom Cruise proves he can do anything. He can act, climb mountains, do stunts, ride motorbikes, dance and even sing. Both him and Alec Bladwin need to do more musicals, because they both have incredible, amazing, singing voices! I gave this movie a 4/10.

The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

I loved it, but I can totally understand why people would walk out of the theater and find it terrible.

[10/10 · 8 August 2012]

I'm a big Horror Fan. I have been since I was a young child. I've never seen anything like this movie before. It's a combination of everything. It's taken everything from every other Horror Movie and thrown it all into this movie. But what is really impressive is the fact that the movie has it's own (original) plot.

What people seem to get confused about is that this is also a comedy. If you haven't laughed within the first 10 mins, then you better walk out right now, because the movie is exactly the same all through out. I was laughing all the way through it. This movie is just bizarre. One of the most bizarre Horror/Comedies i've ever watched in my life, is fact, the most bizarre Horror/Comedy i've watched in my life.

Don't be expecting any scary scenes or anything suspenseful, because this is the wrong movie for you.

The acting was great, well written, well directed and excellent comedy one-liners and with the best twist i've ever seen! This movie is exactly where it needs to be, it's a cult movie. It's "EXACTLY" what it should be. I'm part of the cult following! A cult classic and the best movie i've seen of 2012! If you are a Horror (over the top violence) mixed in with comedy fan, I 110% recommend this one! 10/10

Fright Night (2011)

Great fun!

[18 September 2011]

This film lacked script work and editing. The Editing was terrible, actually. The acting is decent, but great acting from Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Ed.

I think a lot of people were worrying about the lack of editing and script. But this movie is just so much fun to watch and there wasn't a second I was bored. Every moment has you guessing and laughing and chilling. It was totally unpredictable and you never knew what would come next.

Again, yes, it lacked good script work and good editing work, but, in all seriousness, it's one of the best fun times i've ever had in Movie History in a theater and i'm not over exaggerating! It looks really good in 3D as well! especially the intro! :D Sit back, in a dark room (with maybe your 3d glasses), with your popcorn, girlfriend, friends and coca cola and enjoy some great fun! I give Fright Night an 8/10!

Piranha 3D (2010)

You would have to know nothing about movies to think this is serious.

[8/10 · 30 August 2010]

The moment you see the trailer you know you are in for one hell of a ride! The acting is over the top, the nudity is in your face (GREAT IN 3D), the effects looks so cheap and overdone and the story is just ridiculous, BUT YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY! The movie is obviously a big joke, and it makes fun of itself...AND IT S STILL DAMN ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!

I'm really liking the director AJA, he is becoming one hell of a great director! My theater cracked up all the way through it (but in a good way), and believe it or not...my audience clapped and I have to admit, i slightly clapped as well! 85 minutes of great, bizarre (porny) fun! 8/10!

Iron Man 2 (2010)

Much better than the first and just downright entertaining!

[9/10 · 30 April 2010]

This movie will definitely be one of the best movies (if not the best) I see in 2010. Robert Downey JR returns to do Tony Stark, better and funnier than ever! Tony Stark is enjoying life as himself and as being the famous Iron Man. A huge threat comes to his attention. A man with whips is trying to kill him! With the help of Don Cheadle as War Machine, the two of them try to bring a man who calls himself Whip Lash to justice! Mickey Rourke plays the part very well! It just goes to show you've never too old to be a badass villain! Scarlet Johanson plays a very hot, but very suspicious lady! The rest of the cast are good as well.

My only complaint is the middle half of the movie goes abit too slow and drags on abit. I wont reveal why, but you will see what I mean when you watch it. And Iron Man does reveal how he goes to the bathroom while wearing the Iron Man suit! I'd give this movie a 9/10.

Avatar (2009)

The future of CGI! But it ain't the future of pacing.

[10/10 · 27 December 2009]

I am a huge fan of James Cameron. I love all of his movies that he's directed....even this one. This movie was truly amazing. Truly! But it did have some slow scenes and sometimes I felt it was 40-50 mins too long.

The story was well told...it was very different. Trying to keep it where it very real and not trying to make it so over the top where the audience just goes "That is not the future at all." This could happen in hundreds of years from now. Very believable stuff.

The acting was fantastic. Even Michelle Rodriguize was fantastic! Every character served a purpose. No one ever felt pointless or left out. What I also liked about the movie is that even the action scenes (including fight scenes) were never overdone and it didn't try too hard to make it so action packed. Everything was just perfect...again...except the pacing.

Excluding the slow pacing....this movie was fantastic. Fantastic last fight scene too! This movie is pure imagination! I hope it at least wins one Oscar. It should be nominated for 12 Oscars lol.

8/10

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Robert Downey JR was fantastic in this movie! The Rest was mediocre.

[7/10 · 27 December 2009]

I honestly don't know what to say. The story was decent, Jude Law was alright, Rachel Mcadams was alright. Everything about this movie was so decent.

The story, I thought was predictable, but it was still pretty fun. The direction was pretty good, I guess. The pacing was okay too. An okay fight scene near the end. Everything about this movie was decent...except for Robert Downey JR. His performance was incredible! He'l;l definitely either win an Oscar or a Golden Globe.

I'd recommend it to huge fans of Robert Downey JR and Jude Law and Rachel Mcadams.

7/10

Zombieland (2009)

Extremely funny, but it does fall flat at times.

[8/10 · 21 December 2009]

There are loads of Zombie films these days and very few of them (in my opinion) are funny or good. I have to say this movie was both hilarious and disgusting! My theater was packed and everyone of them was cracking up all the way through it! What was really clever about the movie was that all of these 4 characters are all in their way either dumb or just plain cruel or stupid, and yet, they are the only survivors left in the whole world! That's what I really love about it.

It did have some slow points where it got too dramatic and went without laughs for at least a good 20 minutes or so, but excluding that..it's perfect.

Very disgusting, sick and twisted and hilarious movie! If you hate this movie you must be a zombie! Rule Number #1. See this movie!
