Unbreakable

Unbreakable is very good story and just over all a very well presented film. I loved it. It made me think about the  term superhero. Unbreakable was a very well shot movie. The types of one shots that M. Night would use were great. The story really kept you in your seat. The film stars two major players Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Both of these man put on strong acting jobs. Jackson character was the better one by far, but Willis did a better job of acting. Willis character was silent, but you got all the information form his eyes and his body language. The story is about how Willis has never been sick or hurt and how he has the "superhero" like powers. In one scene perfectly done. Was the scene were Willis is working out and they need to keep adding weight. This a very realistic story of a superhero. People who liked the dark knight will love this film. The parts that i didn't like about the film is the ending of the film it felt very rushed and wasn't the M. Night twist I was looking for. Then some parts of the film seem under developed. Like his super strength isnt really ever seen again through the film.  The action was also a bit on the slow side, but I personally didn't mind it.

Drive

I drive. Drive maybe the best filmed movie this year. Maybe the best acted movie of the year. Maybe the best movie of the year, but saying all that does not make this the movie that everybody will enjoy. Drive is about a getaway driver named.... You never get his name he just known as driver. How gets involved with a girl how has a kid and a husband in jail. The husband gets out of jail and owes money it a mod boss. So Driver and him have to rob a place and they only are supposed to get 40,000 but end up stealing a million. Then the story really takes off. Ryan Gosling has is the main character, but doesn't have that many speaking lines. You get all the emotion from his face and the way he acts with his hands. This movie almost could be have no sound and you could still tell what is going in the film. Then the way this movie was shot was beautiful. I mean just beautiful. I loved the cinematography of this movie. There a few shots that will stay with me for a long time after viewing. The score of the film is like this techno type 80's music which really works for the film. This movies is also very bloody. You are warned if you see this movie you will see a lot of blood. The only problems I have with this film where that it really isn't for everyone. This movie is like a piece of new art. It is very different type of movie. Also the movie is on the slower side. I personally didn't mind it because you are sucked into this world. Don't go into thinking your going to see Fast Five you will be highly upset. If you love film and like how it is made check this film out. I really want to give this movie 5 out 5 thought. That is how much i loved it. but others many not enjoy it as much possible hate it.

Scream 4

What's your favorite scary movie? That is the underline of this whole film. This film is one of the best screams to date. I personally love this movies. I love all three of the originals. This film really  just added a lot to the series. If you are a horror fan you have to see scream 1 and 4 I say. Scream 4 takes place a couple years after 3. All the same stars are in it. With a huge crew of new ones. The original kinda sit side sit in this film and the new stars really do a great job of acting. You really get to know these new characters and start to care for them and then they just get murder left and right. The DOP (cameraman) give this film a great look. Really dark, great use of shadows.  There is one shot in the film that is just way to dark. You can't see the actor who is talking. I loved the story of the film great for the all the remakes of horror films now. The opening of these film is one of the best opening to a horror movie that I have seen in years. The only parts that hurt the film. Is the scare factors. Yes this movie is a comedy horror film and it is one of the funniest horror films, but it really isn't that scary. I still really enjoy this film. This a perfect horror movie for the Halloween season.

The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is about a man played by Ashton Kutcher. The man had random black outs as a kid. Mainly at the most important parts of his life. We see him grow up and turn into Kutcher. The film acting wise is not the best film to date. You won't see them getting best actor of the year award that is for sure, but they get the job done. The editing in the film is descent there are mistakes in places and not the greatest transitions in the world world. What people will like most about this film is the idea behind it. If you can a moment in your life how does effect you and your family and your friends. It really is the driving force behind this film. It is the thing that will keep you guessing through out the whole movie, but like I said the parts where if you had a brain you really could tell they didn't think this film trough all the way. Moments where he could have gone back and fixed something in the alternate reality instead of going all the way to the past and the fact the film is mainly keeping you in your seat for Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart who is also in the film.  So if you like the idea of the Butterfly Effect you may like this film, but if you don't you may have to go back and change that part on your own memory

Halloween the season

Halloween is coming up as all of you know and that is my favorite time of year. Not just for the awesome weather that we get and how beautiful the trees are when the leaves fall off, the the free candy that some of us, or the parties that we all go to. But for my favorite type of films good old horror movies. So when October hits all you well see on this blog is reviews for horror films. New and old so don't worry I will tell you what I think of Paranormal 3. Please keep reading my reviews. and tell me what you think of them.

L.A. Confidential

L. A. Confidential is a neo-noir about the cops of LA. It stars Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce, and Russell Crowe as the male leads. The real only women role is Kim Basinger. The acting in the film is just so on pair all these guys and girl did a great job. I really like Guy Pearce in this movie he played the straight cop and Russell Crowe was the big bad cop. I really like there dynamic as the good and bad cop. Pearce was the guy that was we only kill if it is in self deference and Crowe was shoot then ask questions. Most people will need up liking Crowe's character more just the fact that he plays the bad ass. Spacey is a actor that the more that I watch of him the better he gets. I just love to see him play the guy that just seems to be cool with everything. This movie had a so much good. The way it was shoot just took me back to the original noir type movies such as Double Indemnity and The Maltese Falcon. The way one scene is set up was just perfect. It involves the a fire fight with Pearce and a elevator door. That scene just took my breath away. The script of the film was very well written it had some great lines and just great character development.  The only part of this film that I didn't really enjoy was the way it ended. If you are a big film noir type of person you will understand why.

The Lion King 3D (2011)

The Lion King is already a timeless movie. Most people should have seen this or at least heard of it. The movie it self is already a 5 ticket stub film. The 3D to this movie was so good. I personally was just blown away by how well done it was. I saw this movie when I was a kid like most people, now as a adult I can really appreciate the film for what it is to the film community. There so many thinks that you can look at deeper and with more meaning. The 3d for the film worked perfect the first scene of the movie was just perfect you felt like you were flying with zazu. Their is so much depth to the film now you feel like you are in the movie with simba and the whole gang. Then the score is just perfect. The score was remaster by Hans Zimmer( Inception). I say see this in theaters to get the full effect of the film,  but if you don't want to spend 11 dollars on by the Blu-ray dvd of it  is well worth your money.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night

Dylan Dog is about a private eye that deals with zomibes, vampires, and werewolves. Dylan is played by Brandon Routh who doesn't do a bad job of being this character. The parts that were good about this film where the dialogue between Routh and Sam Huntingtion  who plays his partner. Huntingtion and Routh are really the best part they have really good chemistry on screen. the viewer can tell that there friendship form Superman Returns is still very much alive.  Also the direction wasn't to bad he did a good job with what he had. You can really tell that he try to give it his own style, but it falls short a lot of the time. Which is better then nothing I say.  What really hurts this film was the script. Its not very good, we have no drive to really care about these characters. the action is very lacking and the story is descent at best. this film really is what a b movie would look like with a bigger budget and descent actors. Parts of the film seem pointless and is very hard to stick thought. You will get a few laughs but that's all form this film.

Fright Night 3D (2011)

Fright Night 3d is a remake of a 1980s film of the same name. It is about a kid Charlie(Anton Yelchin) spying on his new neighbor Jerry(Colin Farrell). Jerry turns out to be a vampire and I mean a real vampire. This guy just wants to eat you. You won't see no shining vamps here. This has everything a horror movie needs it has great scares, some of the best suspense i have seen a long time, and if you are a fan of gore it has a good amount of that too. What I liked about this film a lot was that it had a great mix of comedy in as well, but this movie is really more of a horror comedy. The comedy sits in the passenger seat in this film. So if you think your gonna get like a Zombieland where it is mostly funny and not much scares. You won't get that. This film had a great tone. It was a very dark film. Scenes that take place at night are just really dark and very well shot. One scene in participatory in the car chase scene where it looks like one shot. Colin Farrell was by far the best actor in the film. He did a great job. When he is on screen he would steal the show. Parts where he is talking about how long he has lived and just powerful he is just took my breath away. The 3d was very well done. They did a good job at of both giving you depth to the film and stuff popping out at you. Parts that i really didn't like about the film was comedy of the film. In some scenes and lines that were meant to be funny were funny but not like rolling around on the ground funny.  Also the character of the fake vampire killer i didn't really enjoy he  kinda pissed me off and he is very one sided. Even thought it has some small faults it is a very good film. great scares and descent laughs a perfect date movie in my opinion and if you like 3d it is worth the extra dollar.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Just saw Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. It was a decent film; it wasn't very scary, but very creepy (and yes there is a difference). There were some scenes that were way too dark, but I did like the scenes where you could actually see everything. I also liked the score a lot and the ending was very creepy. 3 out of 5 stars.

The Last Circus

Saw the craziest love story and just one the craziest movies last night it was very good, but most people will not like it. The movie is a Spanish flix called The Last Circus; The Last Circus gets a 4 and a 1/2 out 5 stars on my ranking system.
