If Only Real Life Was Like The Movies



The film begins close to the end of the story, when the suspects get caught and are interrogated. Then it flashes back to three years earlier and the film proceeds forward from there interspersed with occasional bits from the interrogation.

Three years before getting caught, Bridget (Diane Keaton) lived a comfortable upper class life until her husband Don (Ted Danson) was fired from his position and sunk into debt. The paycheck for Selina, the cleaning lady, bounces again. Selina confronts Bridget and suggests she take a job as a janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Thats where she gets the idea to steal from the goverment and with the help of Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes, they rob that place for 3 years but of course every good thing comes to an end but the film is VERY FUNNY and enteraining. If I could grab things from the screen, I would pause every scene and take the buckets of money I saw throughout the film. I give the film and 9 out of 10. It had the right motive, right story, right plot and good ending but the reason it didnt reach a 10..wait..no its a 10.

Ang Lee's Pride Is Crushed



This is not a sequel but a REBOOT of the Incredible Hulk series. The plot is not hard to guess. Dr. Bruce Banner (edward Nortan)continues to find a cure for his gamma-radiation induced affliction where anger causes him to become the giant, green-skinned Incredible Hulk. I loved how this film came out. It had all the action I asked for in the first one, less drama (its a comic book movie, come on) I loved it from begining to end. If I was the Hulk, Alot of people would be dead by now. I give it a 10 out of 10. I cant wait for the dvd!

Im SO Buying The Game Now!



I only played the game 3 times (each occasion was a different installment to the seires) and I thought the game was fun but I wasnt sure if the movie was gonna be as cool as it. I gotta admit, to my surprise I was wrong. The direction was excellent and the cast was on point BUT the story was too flat. Not enough action too. The story is about The "Hitman" . A genetically-engineered, elite assassin known only as Agent 47. His hallmarks are lethal grace, unwavering precision, and resolute pride in his work. But even 47 couldn't anticipate a "random equation" in his life exactitude: the unexpected stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a mysterious Russian woman. See, you can tell from there the story is flat. I give it a 6 out of 10. Rent. or wait for cable. Dont buy (unless you planning to play all the ganes, then you should really buy it).

Fight Club For Teens



This film shows what the hood been doing for a few years. Fighting, capturing it on video, posting it to the web (and sometimes selling it on DVD). Only difference between the hood and this movie...it's done in the suburbs. The story is about Jake Tyler, (played by Sean Faris), a new kid in town with a troubled past. In this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler. Jake is introduced to the sport known as Mixed Martial Arts and is trained by his mentor, Jean Roqua, played by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond, In America). For Jake, there is much more at stake than mere victory. His decision will not just settle a score; it will define who he is. IF ONLY I CAN FIGHT LIKE THE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE. I gotta train like them. I have to learn those moves. I live in south side Jamaica Queens. I gotta protect myself if someone tries to attack me. The fight scenes were great, story was on point, the cast was terrific. I gotta give it a 8 out of 10 tho..I guess it was just so surburban. Some parts didnt seem to real. It had it's "Movie Moments". I mean I knew he was going to beat the enemey. HE'S THE MAIN CHARACTER, he has to win but you should of had me a lil surprise at some parts but it was fun to watch.



Eh, It Has It's Part



Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency CONTROL is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Given little field experience and even less time, Smart—armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm—must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried (Terence Stamp).

I was going to see this in theaters but Im glad I didnt (Might have a different feeling when I see the dvd). It had its moments that I thought was really funny and some part that seem they was trying to hard. I give it a 7..maybe a 6 and a half. I say wait for the dvd.

No Wonder It Went Straight To DVD



Hero Wanted is a 2008 action film directed by Brian Smrz and starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Ray Liotta, and Norman Reedus. Liam Case (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a garbage collector and a hero. Several years before, he had rescued a little girl from a flaming car wreck and earned a hideous scar for his effort. But he got his "fifteen minutes", but soon forgotten.

Lost and alone, Liam has turned to alcohol. After stalking a bank teller who reminds him of his wife, he arranges a bank robbery to make him a hero again. The crooks are not willing to rob a bank without the money, they shoot the girl he wanted to ask out. Liam is betrayed and vows to put things right by seeking vengeance against the thieves that put the bank teller in a coma and left him for dead.

I cant say this movie is what I expected. The 1st thing I heard about it was the part of him setting up the bank robbery to look like a hero.. I thought it was going to be a action comedy..its really dramatic and I didnt like how the story was told. The story jumped back n forth from the past and the present which actually makes things confusing. I give it a 5 out of 10.

The Most Funniest Racist Movie Of All Time



I didnt even realize how racist the first one was until I watched again after seeing this in theaters. This time, the boys get themselves in trouble trying to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now, being suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence. I saw this in theaters and was dying. It was soo racist, it was funny. It was great. Black jokes, white jokes, asian jokes, sex jokes (especially this 3 way with a bag of weed), Jew Jokes, and PRESIDENT BUSH jokes. He's actually in the movie (not really played by him tho...There is a movie about him coming out soon..I seen the trailer...looks like a parody instead of a biopic). If Bush was as funny in the movie in real life, I would like him a lil more. I liked him in this movie...seemed like a great guy but sucks as a president. The film was written and directed by the writers of the first film. I love them. They deserve a hug. I got the one disc verison of the unrated version. its nothing really different then the one in theaters (and the 1 in theaters was soo RANCHY and DIRTY!!!!). The only thing unrated about the dvd is the bottomless party. It just over laspe the dialouge. I give it 10 out of 10. If you loved American Pie, Super Bad, Van Wilder and any movie that has drunken teens, weed and sex in a funny matter..you will love this...OH AND NPH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Uh..Um..Hmm...



I cant really say I really liked this film. Direction was on point and plot was too but it had me lost at times. It starts off in 2008. The opening scene reminds me of "I Am Legend" and "Resident Evil 2". The virus breaks loose and people is going crazy! We then find the main character as a child as her mother sacafices her life to save her. The film then jumps in the near future, where Scotland has been quarantined due to the onset of a deadly virus. When the virus emerges in London, political leaders send Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) to Scotland to find a cure based on evidence of survivors. Sinclair and her crew then gets stuck on the other side and have to survive and get home. I cant say I liked where it went after that point. Blood was good. Action was fine but something about it I didnt like. It jumps around era even tho its in the future. First its around our time then (in the same year)its like in a apocolyptic heavy metal time and then jumps to the medevil time. I didnt seem creative to me. I give it a 6 out of 10. I say rent, dont buy.


I Probably Would Do This If Zombies Attack



George A. Romero, THE KING, THE MASTER of Zombie films comes back to the genre HE CREATED with "Diary Of The Dead". I had to track this DVD down after I saw the trailer. I couldn't wait to see it. Jason Creed and a small crew of college filmmakers are in the Pennsylvania woods making a no-budget horror film when they hear the terrifying news that the dead have started returning to life. Led by Jason's girlfriend, Debra, the frightened young filmmakers set off in a friend's old Winnebago to try to get back to the only safety and security they know: their homes. BUT WE ALL KNOW, If zombies are taking over there is no escape. The film has that "Blair Witch Project" feeling that actually worked for them and not agaisnt them like "Cloverfield". The film was fun to watch and I wanted to see more and more. I hope there's a sequel. I enjoyed this more than "Land Of The Dead" but I wanted more of that feeling I got from Zack Snyder's remake of George's Dawn Of The Dead but overall the film is alot of fun. I give it a 10 out of 10 (looks like Im giving alot of 10 out of 10). I love it.

The Other Story Of My Life



I have to send a Shout out To The Jewish Mother I never had, Edna Gruber. If it wasnt for her, I would never have seen this movie. It's original title is Nuovo Cinema Paradiso is an Italian film written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. It was internationally released as Cinema Paradiso in France, Spain, the UK and the U.S. Told in flashback, it tells the story of the return to his native Sicilian village of a successful film director Salvatore for the funeral of his old friend Alfredo, who was the projectionist at the local "Cinema Paradiso". Ultimately, Alfredo serves as a wise father figure to his young friend who only wishes the best to see him succeed, even if it means breaking his heart in the process.

I loved this movie (thank God for subtitiles). This is the story of my life. Im gonna have to write my own Cinema Paradiso, telling my story looking for my paradise with the love and joy of film I give it a 10 out of 10. I recomend you to see the directors cut. Its worth every penny.

If Only I Saw This In IMAX



If I only saw this in IMAX (or at least a big screen and surround sound) I would of loved the film even more. I would felt the intensive-ness of the film, the direction was great, the story went on point and the cast was amazing and Heath Ledger's (R.I.P) performance of the Joker was FANTASTIC. OH MAN!!! I loved it. It went so well I cant even describe it.

the film is a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. Christian Bale reprises the lead role. Batman's primary conflicts in the film include his fight against his arch-nemesis the Joker (Heath Ledger) and his rivalry with district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) for the affections of assistant D.A. Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal). I cant really speak for the film, it really speak for itself. I give it 10 out of 10.

Plez God, Dont Give Me A Girl



When I have a kid, Im begging God for a boy. Girls are to much to handle (especially these days), with the horomones in the milk, Sex at early ages. Music and videos filled with sex, make up, boys trying to be sex symbols in JR HIGH, its too much to rasie a daughter (or any kid) these days in america. Steve Martin's Father Of The Bride was one example..Disney's College Road Trip is another!

When an overachieving high school student Melanie Porter (RAVEN-SYMONE) decides to travel around the country to choose the perfect college, her overprotective cop father (MARTIN LAWRENCE) also decides to accompany her in order to keep her on the straight and narrow.

Im Telling you, if I have a daugther..Im buying be a gun. Im gonna be just like Martin in this movie. No Lie. The film was real funny. In a way, it takes off from Disney's other recent movie "The Game Plan". The Game Plan takes on raising a little girl. Road trip is what happens when she gets older. Donny Osmand is in the film and he is dead on FUNNY!!!! Especially at the end when his daughter vists him for thanksgiving. I loved the movie. Cant say I found something wrong with the film. It is a disney film so it doesnt really touch the "touchy" subject when letting you daughter go to out alone in the world but its great to watch if you're babysitting or watching with your family (if you have kids). I know 1 thing..Im still praying for a girl now even tho I doubt if Im gonna have kids later. I give the film a 10 out of 10.

Made Me Want To Pay Attenion In History Class



I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Some Sequels are horriable but not this one. I had fun watching this. My girlfriend didnt think it was gonna be fun to watch (because it had to do with history) but we was glued to our seats watching this movie. The direction was on point, the story was great... I loved it. The difference between this film and the first is that Treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates looks to discover the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln because he great great great great grandfather is being blamed for it so in order to clear his family name he has to uncover the mystery within the 18 pages missing from assassin John Wilkes Booth's diary. I wished I paid more attenion in history class because I enjoyed it. If you can mix fiction with reality...histroy class would of been more entertaning and seemed less boring.







This how ever, pissed me off! I actually went to theaters to see this with my girl. I was a fan of Indy growing up. I wanted to have the adventures he had. So I couldnt wait to see this film. The first hour had me strapped in my seat until they started to mention (SPOILER ALERT)Aliens. Aliens? In a Indiana Jones movie? Are you kidding me? What does aliens have to do with Indiana? Where's the history? The artifacts? Isnt Speilberg done with Aliens by now? E.T? Third Ecounter? Wars Of The Worlds? Transformers (need I continue). And George Lucas...I love Star Wars but you got to have a new credit as a director out of that franchise. Im telling you, the story sucked. By the time Indy was capture by the bad guys (once again)I was no longer paying attenion to the movie. Me and my girl was on each other in the back..not doing things you supposed to do in theaters. David Koeep Is a great writer but I didnt like this movie and how Kate Blanchett died was so stuipd. Her head exploded because she new to much (but no blood came out). I gave this movie a 5 out of 10. I loved the direction, loved the cast (even tho I already knew Shia was going to be Indy son by the time they met) but the movie didnt have the expectations I thought it would be.


THIS IS WHO I WANTED 2 BE IN HIGH SCHOOL!



Charlie Barlett was me in High School (minus the drug dealing part). Charlie was a teen with out a father. He had no life at home and wanted to feel important. He had everything he needed at home and definitely had money but he wanted to be someone. So he sold medical drugs to start his popularity and then he was a counselor to the students and they all loved him. He sold fake ids and couldn't be touched. He was a rebel. He had a crowd surrounding him when he was selling his own brand of dvds (which what I wanted in high school, people surrounding me to buy my dvds). Robert Downy Jr Plays The love interest's father (who just also happens to be the principal)
and Kat Dennings Played his Daughter (and she was looking hot in the film). I gotta say I enjoyed this film. It was fun and Entertaining and If I had a 2nd Life, I wanna be this kid.

I LOVE YOU STALLONE!!!!



I gotta be honest. I didnt think I was gonna like the film at all. I really didnt. I never really watched a whole Slyvester Stallone movie except "First Blood" (the first Rambo movie) but that was in 2004. Alot of people think its a remake, I had to keep explaning its another sequel. Now Sly can write, I know that from watching Rocky Bambola (the recent 1)but I didnt know how well of a director or actor he was until I saw the new rambo. From the trailer, my guess was the first hour was all talk and the end is the only action. I WAS WRONG. I love Stallone as a writer and director now. It gave me all I wanted in an action movie. Before I watched the new rambo flick, I watched the first 3 to get into the character's head. So now that I understood the character and know his past I was ready to watch it and I loved it. Blood was everywhere, guns were blazzing and Rambo didnt lose his touch of action. He was killing everyone from left to right. Blood, BLOOD, BLOOD!!!! It was everywhere. He finally has my respect as a writer and Director..a few weeks before I saw it, I heard rumors that he wanted to remake "Death Wish", one of my favorite old films. Before, I wasnt sure because the recent Rocky movie was alright but I didnt know how well he was as a writer/director BUT then I saw Rambo, Rocky, and Rocky 2..Sly now has my blessing to do "Death Wish"! He is a great story teller, great director and his acting is beleivable. I give the new Rambo movie a 10 out of 10.

CliffHanger The Movie



That's what they should of called this movie. It reminded me of Trap In The Closet (when each of the song ended) and Prison Break (right before commericial break), when things starts to get good, it dis-continues. it just rewinds itself 15 minutes before to someone else's point of view. I mean hey, it was creative and very intresting but there was 8 different point of views so every 15 mins the film rewinds itself 15 mins to someone elses point of view and we (kinda) have to watch the same thing twice. If there was another way of telling it without it having cliffhangers every 15 minutes and rewindin itself to reach someone else's point of view It would of been great story because I was getting annoyed but it was really entertaining and it keeps you guessing and wondering what's gonna happen next. Honestly, I liked the movie. It was fun..it just kept annyoing me with the cliffhangers! I give it a 7 out of 10.

Carlemile Viel's Death Wish




This was inspire by films such as (the original)"Death Wish", "Death Sentence", "Kill Bill" and "The Brave One" but also the film is a metaphor. The past week, there was a series of unfortunate events and I just felt horraible so this film represents how I felt and what I wanted to do when it happened. I took the negative and turn it into a work of art!...well a film.
