Basically: You will get goosebumps, multiple times, especially if you see in theaters. Amazing.


Story: Based on a true story, Mickey Ward is a rising boxer from Lowell, MA. His ex-boxer, crack addict brother is his trainer. Can Mickey pull his brother and family out of despair, with his boxing skill? A story of family, fighting, redemption and triumph.


Actors: Mark Whalberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams


Win: Everything about this was a win. Christian Bale steals the show, but all the actors do a fantastic job. The way the fights were shot make you feel like you were really watching fight night on HBO. You will connect with the characters. Must see. Will win Oscars.


Fail: Not, really, anything. But if I have to say something, it is slightly formulaic. (But so are 95% of movies today)


Verdict: WIN!


Confused: Did anyone else notice that Conan O'Brien's sister was playing one of Mickey's sisters? Im not kidding, look it up. (She looks exactly like Conan)

Basically: Messes with your mind, very dark, intense, scary-ish. Very good.


Story: The NYC ballet company is putting on Swan Lake, and fragile, shy Nina Sayers gets the part of the Black and the White swan. She is perfect for the White swan, but through her quest to perfect the part of the Black swan...she changes.


Actors: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis


Win: Great directing by Darren Aronofsky. Amazing acting by everyone. You are always on the edge of your seat. This is the definition of a Psychological Thriller. Everything worked together, the sound, the music, the dancing, majority of this movie was flawless. If you like being gripped by movies, watch this. It's intense. 


Fail: Probably scarier than you're expecting when you walk in the theatre. Not many moments for the audience to take a breath (possibly a good thing)


Verdict: Win!


Confused: Possibly too much mind boggling?

Basically: It was pretty good, not amazing.

Very good. First off, let me say that I disliked the last two Harry Potter movies with a passion. I loved the first four. (Third was pretty good). But I was really happy when I saw this one, because I was expecting another just like the last two, but I was pleasantly surprised. 


Now another thing I have to say before I continue with this review is that I did go to the midnight showing, so the whole atmosphere, with the crazy fans dressed up shouting out trivia and stuff. That probably made me like it a little better. At one point before the movie, a girl dressed in a short golden glittery dress, with wings tied to her back got up and started running around the theater. Her friends pointed to her and yelled "There's the Golden Snitch!" a couple seconds later, a random guy dressed as Harry Potter in the back row got up and started chasing her, wand in hand. This went on for minutes, the whole theater cheering them on. It was the greatest thing ever.


Anyway on to my review. One thing that I noticed, that I really liked, was the whole time, you kind of had this spooky tension. Like Voldemort was watching over the characters. It was very nicely done, and it added a layer of creepiness to the whole movie. In a good way.


So I read all the books, loved them. This movie stays very true to the books, and I give it big props for that.  What really surprised me, was not only did the movie "stay true" to the books, I specifically remember thinking: "Wow, this is exactly how I pictured it" which is a cool experience. Like you are seeing it for a second time. 


This movie has Sadness in it, excitement, and there was one scene that was VERY nicely done. Highlight the following to see what I'm talking about, (Don't if you haven't seen HP7 yet): The scene where the old lady turns into Nagini, the snake, and you slowly start realizing what's going on, Hermione sees the flies, and Harry sees what looks like his old room. Amazingly well done.


Here is what I didn't like about the movie, and before I say them, know that the good parts of this movie strongly outweigh the bad.


Firstly, if you compare the first two movies, to this one or the last couple, you will notice something. There is a certain "Old Timey" feel, that is completely lost in the more recent movies. I really liked that charm, seeing the castles, seeing all the old fashioned wizardry shenanigans and what not. In the more recent movies, especially this one, it is so modern. I guess you could argue that this is because they interact more with the muggle world in the more recent books. Or you could argue that the Old timey feel comes with Hogwarts, which is not as much part of the story anymore. But still, now you see Hermione ordering a Cappuccino (no joke, this actually happens) and you see BMW's and instead of wearing robes they wear what looks like could be Abercrombie and Fitch or something. This bugs me.


Also, there were quite a few unintentional laughable moments. Most of them were because of the awkward love triangle of Ron, Harry, Hermione. Some weird stuff happens, and whether it was necessary in the movie is questionable.


Finally, what really got me was this: PART ONE. When the Harry Potter title starts flying in, I always get so excited, and the little Part One on the side just kind of took me out of the experience. Plus the way they ended it was very part one. 


OK, so I realize that I mainly said bad things about this Harry Potter movie, but it was very, very, very good, and if you have even the slightest interest in Harry Potter I HIGHLY suggest you go see it. HIGHLY. It was funny, action packed, cute, smart, everything you could want from a Harry Potter movie and more. Oh and when you see it you will understand that had they not made this a Two Part'er, well lets just say you'll be glad they did.

Great! I loved this movie. Some words come to mind when I think about this movie: Thought-Provoking, Intense, Emotional, Hilarious, Realistic, Thought-Provintentionaristic. I made the last one up. 

This movie was really fun to watch, Yes it is another "Michael Cera" movie meaning he plays basically the same character (Awkward Kid) with the same goals (Get Girl), but he pulls it off well. So I did love this movie, but whether or not this was intentional, it seems like there was a very target audience intended for this movie.


I really loved the story, it didn't go by too fast or too slow, the characters are great, plus the very fun style with the whole video game theme was really cool. What made the movie great was all these factors tying together. If you think you might like this, give it a try, because, just, do. This review would have been more in depth but I waited way too long after watching it to write this. Bye. Oh and I love the actors in this movie, not even counting Michael Cera they are all really great and even Jason Schwartzman at the end. There are some things I didn't like about this movie, I just don't remember them. 


So this review sucked. But Scott Pilgrim did not. Go watch it!

Sucked. So Predictable. Cookie cutter chick flick.


I Like Katherine Heigl a lot, Josh Duhamel not as much, but this movie was really awful. It's one of those movies where you know exactly what's going to happen as it happens. I really don;t need to say what was bad about it, because I could just say everything. But I'll say anyway.


In a movie this bad, usually the actors chemistry saves it from being completley awful. This is not the case with this movie. Think about it like this, in some tv shows or movies, the actors look like they are having fun, and they make you think, oh it would be cool to hang out with that group of friends, or it would be fun to third wheel a date with that couple. I actually would have been happier had the two main characters never met. That bad. Im just gonna end it there.

I Loved It! So good! Best movie I've seen in theaters in WAY too long. Oh and go see it if it's still out!


Ben Affleck was so great, Jeremy Renner was even better, and really all the acting (with one exception which i'll talk about later) was great. Boston/Charlestown was shot really nicely, it could have been better but I was satisfied. The story was solid, the action was great, and I really liked the characters. Just a really good movie. It was even funny at some parts. 


The only gripe I have was Blake Lively, I haven't seen her in anything else, but she was sub par in this. her acting wasn't awful, but it sort of took me out of the experience. But thats it, I really loved it.


Sorry this is so short I just have nothing to say. Go see it.

WARNING: I am the only person (I know of) that didn't like this movie.

I had high hopes for this movie, and long story short: I was let down. I love Angelina Jolie, and she did really well in this movie, but besides her there really wasn't much to it. In the first 5 minutes of the movie I correctly predicted the ending of a movie, which you should never be able to do. In my opinion. 


There were too many unnecessary plot points, and not enough core story. Also the characters were barely developed, beyond their backstories. Oh and there was no closure, a lot of movies have me feeling like it hasn't really ended, this was one of them. However the action scenes were great, and sometimes thats all a movie takes to entertain. 


Unfortunately I think SALT was going for more, but failed to achieve what it was going for. Heres the premise of the story: She is set up. But it gets way more complicated, which I usually love, but not here. It just wasn't pulled of well. Don't see it. Unless you are in love with Angelina (like me)

Damnit! That's what I thought when I walked out of the theater. Let down. Will Ferrel is one of the funniest human beings on planet earth. This movie did not show that off. There were a couple times where he was his hilarious self, but for the most part, it just didn't live up to his "Step Brothers, Taladega Nights" movies. I mean, those movies you are laughing so hard its sometimes difficult to breath. I had no difficulty breathing during The Other Guys. Im really sorry to say but just don't see it. Unless you've really wanted to see it, or you have a bunch of friends over and there is nothing else, this movie is totally not worth it. Sorry.         

I have been hearing people talk about this movie for a really long time and also been seeing people reading the graphic novel, and I am really glad I finally saw it. Obviously Nicole Kidman was amazing, I mean crazy, to understand what I mean you really need to see this one. The thing about it is its completely action packed, awesome fight scenes are all over the place, but it also has a very philosophical side to it. This blend of components allows it to be really entertaining, the ending is satisfying, and it's even funny at some parts. The only thing I didn't like, (and this is just my opinion it's not a mistake or anything) I didn't like the intense imagery used at some parts of the movie, I think they were trying to make references to past events and they could have made it more subtle. basically they should have trusted that the audience would have figured it out, they didn't need to shove the idea in our faces. You'll get what I mean when you see it.


I'm going to keep the synopsis short because I don't like to give away too much, but basically it takes place in London, in the future, and the government isn't in good shape. And one guy doesn't like that. But it gets deeper you learn backstory the characters etc.


Great movie, really entertaining, also has a good message and makes you think. A lot. About society and stuff. Very good. If you need something to see, see this.

Loved it! This movie was great, in a nutshell, it was extremely funny bringing that Apatow feel that everyone loves, but was also deep and emotional without being corny (basically it didn't take itself too seriously, in a good way)


Jonah Hill, who became famous with Super Bad, is back and he plays a very similar character. Watching his character mix with Russel Brands character was so entertaining. You may know Russel Brand from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, (which this movie is a tie in with, because it has some of the same characters) and he hosted the MTV movie awards a couple years ago. Anyway, They were both hilarious, there are so many quotable lines in the movie, that you will be repeating with your friends for a long time. 


And as I mentioned earlier, even though the tone during the movie was light hearted and hilarious the whole movie, it is able to captivate you enough to buy into and care about the drama side of the movie as well. The only things that me and my friend agreed about that we didn't like was there was one scene that was a little unnecessary. But besides that, you will love this movie almost no matter who you are. Maybe some won't love it, but in my opinion there really is something in it for everyone. Maybe you'll even like the scene we didn't. Anyway see it, preferably with some pals, it makes for a great night/afternoon/morning? Yea.

Pretty Good. Nothing better than Pretty Good.


It was fun to watch, it was "entertaining" but it really didn't do much more than the average movie. 


One of the strongest points of this movie was the comic banter between the characters, it was actually pretty funny. Just the little situations between the characters definitely had me laughing out loud. The story was cookie cutter, the plot wasn't horrible, this movie was overall just kind of blasé. If you want to see something with some friends, with pretty good action and laughs, then watch this, but you won't really get any story layer. Final Verdict: Surprisingly funny, good action, lame everything else. 

This movie is very trippy. It is very Tim Burton. Very dark, whimsical, fantastical, whatever you want to call it. Oh an also it was boring. Yea, I kind of feel like Tim burton thinks that he has found the perfect formula for every movie, and so he doesn't need to try anymore. I mean this movie was well made, and its cool to see the old story brought to life with new technology, but this movie just bored me. The only scene that I thoroughly enjoyed was on seen at the very end. I shouldn't have to wait that long to get enjoyment out of a movie.


There were one or two moments that were interesting, or that made me chuckle, but when I compare that to how much I liked some other movies similar to this one, I really see no reason for you to watch this unless it was some sort of childhood favorite, or you love this type of movie. It bored me and just wasn't worth it. Watch something else.

This movie definitely exceeded my expectations. I heard mixed reviews, and to be honest it looked kind of stupid. I can usually identify movies like that, stupid, quickly made, overly vulgar and jokes aren't funny. This movie maybe had a few of those characteristics, but it was definitely a good watch.


Th plot is basically entirely in the title, which is usually a bad sign, a lowlife airport security guy starts dating one of the best looking girls to ever live, and then the shenanigans begin. Just a side note, Jay Baruchel, the main character in this movie (the guy in the picture) makes the movie much better, hes is really good at being the loser. So if you have seen him in things like Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder or Fanboys, you will like him in this.


The final verdict is, yes, there are some stupid jokes, but I laughed out loud more than I have since The Hangover. If that is what you are looking for, check this movie out. If you are having a bunch of friend over and want a funny laugh out loud movie that you can all quote later on, this is a good one. If your by yourself, maybe go for something more serious.

Wow. This movie was incredible. Incredibly good? Not so much. It was very interestingm and is the type of movie that has you thinking about it for a while. This movie definitley wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. And also, i think it has a very target audience, people who have some sort of participation in the tech worlld. Nowadays everyone is somewhat invested in computers, but im talking about people who have an extended interest in the technology world. Myself for example. I spend a lot of time online, and so this movie was a commentary on something very relevant to me. There is also side dialogue that tries to broaden the scope, like talking about how this movies scenario could effect common day problems like health care and such, but tech was the main focus.

That being said. For those that this movie interests, this was a pretty good movie. The action was intense, there was never really a lull in the adrenaline. The whole commentary on the online world, and its effects on the real world were carried out extremely well. There were moments when I was freaking out at the weirdness of this movie, and I can see this not being popular with a lot of people. Overall, I, as in me, really liked this movie. I am going to be thinking about it for a while. Ludacris was great, I think he's an amazingly underated actor. John C Riley of Dexter was great, kind of weird in that his accent kept changing, but he was good. I really like Gerard Butler, and I think he did Kable justice in this movie.

However, there were very many things I didn't like abou tthis movie. There were way to many plot holes and failures in logic. With a movie like this, its usually ok, but there were way too many. There were way too many, what if, moments. Moments like, a car flipping into a windo because a bullet flew into the engine, and things like that get annoying after a while. There were also a lot of storylines that were started, and not finished. Also many of the emotional bond between the characters seemed not very strong, kind of artificial. A lot of the dialogue was really cheesy and un-naturally written. The cuts were generic and unartistic. Also, things would happen, and the audience would have no idea why it hppened. Like why did he just kill that guy, or why was he able to do that? The one thing that really annoyed me about this movie, was how much went unexplained. They should have given more scientific background, and more details on the game. Is it a first person shooter, or third person, how does paying work, what are the rules, more details like this would have made the whole idea really believable and made the movie more enjoyable in general.

So if you are really into techie gadgety stuff and online games, and you are invested in the tech industry, you would probably thouroughly enjoy this movie. Otherwise, I think I have to advise you to stay away.

This movie was just great. It was fantastic. It was a comedy that can NOT be summed up in one sentence. I really loved all the characters, constantly was laughing out loud, and constantly being caught off guard. maybe twice in the movie I thought it was predictable, but this was definitley not a predictable movie. It was really just a great wath, and im surprissed it didn't do better in theaters, because this was a genuinley funny movie.

I have a newfound respect for Jason Bateman. He was hilarious, his comedic timing was so great, and he delivered the dialogue so freshly. This was just such a fresh movie, something new to the comedy scene. Im proud of Ben Affleck for stepping it up too. Oh and Kristen Wiig. I already love her in everything shes in, shes basically never not funny, whether shes burning things on SNL or playing the wife with demensia, shes always hilariouis. What was weird about her in this movie is that she was a normal person, yet she pulled it off amazingly. Definitley watch this movie, its a great refresher from the stupid and not serrious comedies that are floating around these days.

This movie was, decent, but nothing special. It wasn't anything more than one of those gimmecky movies, where you can sum it up in one sentence. I think in general a movie should take more than one sentence to give a full synopsis. In this case: Humans have not yet developed the ability to lie, one man makes this discovery and takes an advantage of his newfound ability. Lying.

Yeah, its a funny idea, and it was executed really well, but a movie like this can only be so good. I love Ricky Gervais, and have an amazing amount of respect for him seeing as he created the inspiration for one of my all time favorite shows. Even Jennifer Garner who I generally dont like, I liked in this. And of course some other favorites helped me enjoy this movie, like Tina Fey and Jonah Hill. Even Louis C.K. a hilarious stand up comedian whose been appearing in tv and movies more often. My suggestion is, if you have some friends over and are hanging out, looking to have a good laugh, maybe try this movie out. However, if you are looking on Demand, there are definitley better movies to watch.

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture - Mo'Nique/Precious: Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga were good, but from what I've heard, Mo'Nique was better, so ill have to agree with this one. Her acceptance speech was great too.
Best Actress in a Television Series Comedy - Toni Collette/U.S. of Tara: I disagree, I think Lea Michele from Glee deserved this one.
Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series - John Lithgow/Dexter: I've heard this show is amazing, but I would have liked to see Michael Emerson from Lost win this one. That show is amazing, and much its success his due to his acting skill. Also, Neil Patrick Harris is funny, but not Globe Worthy.
Best Animated Feature Film - UP: No surprise here, everyone loved it. For some reason I didn't think it was that great. The Fantasic Mr. Fox would have been my pick. But then again, I instantly love anything Wes Anderson creates.
Best Actor in a Television Series Drama - Michael C Hall/Dexter: I agree with this one, I dont watch the show, but the other nominees weren't spectacular. Im surprised, however, that it didn't go to John Hamm of Mad Men.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy - Meryl Streep/Juilie and Julia: I agree with this one, she easily beat out Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, and Julia Roberts for Duplicity. Meryl actually nominated twice for two different movies, in this category (Its Complicated).
Best Screenplay Motion Picture - Up In The Air: This ones difficult for me. Movies wise, I thouht District 9 and Inglorius Basterd were both better. But, I beleive screenplay means which has the best script, or which is written best, and in that case Up In The Air was written brilliantly, so that would make sense.
Best Actor in a Television Series Comedy - Alec Baldwin/30 Rock: Of course, being the diehard Office fan that I am, I am going to say that Steve Carell should have won this one. But even if I wasn't, I just think he is much funnier in The Office and outside it. Michael Morrison from Glee was also great, but not quite great enough.
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture - Christoph Waltz: I could not agree more with him winning this award, if you haven't seen his preformance in Inglorius Basterds, you are missing out, he is amazing. I would have thrown a fit had anyone else won this one.
Best Director Motion Picture - James Cameron/Avatar: Even though I didn't love Avatar as much as the general public, im going to agree with this one. I thought the directing was fantastic, and if you throw in the fact that he had to deal with all the technology and he was still able to come up with this great movie, I think you have to give him this one.
Best Television Series Comedy - Glee: I completley agree. For this show to be this great its first season, and be so different, it would have been a shame to see it not win. I love The Office but it just didn't beat Glee this year. SO happy 30 Rock didn't win. It wins too much.
Best Motion Picture Comedy - The Hangover: I agree. Anyone would agree. If you don't, chances are you didn't see this movie.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama - Sandra Bullock/Blind Side: Yes. Agreed. She was good enough in this movie to beat out the other nominees.
Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy - R Downey Jr./Sherlock Holmes: I actually haven't seen it yet, and I kind of wanted to see Joseph  Gordon Levitt win this one.
Best Motion Picture Drama - Avatar: This is very much a disapointment to me. Not a surprise at all, but very much a disapointment. I thought Inglorius Basterds was ten times better, and even Precious Im sure was better than Avatar. I think its the special effects that won them that one, is that fair? Anyway I give huge props to James Cameron for speaking in Na'vi for part of his acceptance speech. That was cool.

AND I AM PUMPED! This show is beyond good. It's genius. The people behind this show have gotten this genre down. They know how to send chills down your spine, they know how to leave your jaw on the floor, they now how to get you to swear at your TV set. Yes, while watching the 4 hours of 24, I swore several times. In only the first two episodes I am emotionally drawn in to the characters. Although that is also due to 7 previous seasons, it's still a big deal. For fans of drama shows, you will still love this show. There are plenty of moments I caught myself yelling at Jack, not to go through some door, or not to listen to some person. Action junkies will instantly fall in love with the fast paced high suspense action.

About a year ago I had a chance to speak with Howard Gordon, one of the Executive Producers and Writers on the show, and he said that this will most likeley be the last season, so this is your last chance to watch a 24 season live. So get to it! Get as caught up as you can, and watch this show. You will not be let down.

This movie is very adult. Not how you're thinking, there were no overly explicit scenes or horrible language, it was really wasn't bad in that way at all. It was adult in the topics that it dealt with. Unemployment, marriage, just life in general, things that will probably only interest you if you are above a certain age. That being said, it was a fantastic movie. It was smart, it wasn't too sing songy, not everything worked out as planned, but it wasn't depressing. Basically, Ryan Bingham, (played really well by George Clooney) has a tough job. He travels the country, firing people of various companies, so the boss doesn't have to. This being a high travel job, he lives in the air. Not literally, but he is constantly traveling, always at an airport, in an airplane, or in a hotel. And he is constantly racking up miles, trying to reach a certain milestone. 


It was funny but definitely was a serious movie. And it was definitely a good movie, but you wouldn't be doing any sort of horrible injustice by waiting for this movie to come to On Demand or DVD. If you think this is your kind of movie, and it deals with stuff that pertains to your "age" than for sure check this movie out. Otherwise, I suggest waiting a little while. Oh and just something to help you make your decision, Jason Reitman, the director also directed (and wrote) Juno and Thank You For Smoking. This movie has a similar feel, but not really too much in common with the other two besides that. I liked Up in the Air more than Thank you for smoking, but I liked Juno far more. I guess it just has to do with the whole "age" thing.

I recently began watching a relatively new show called "Modern Family" and it's hilarious. Fans of The Office will immediately fall in love with the new take on the "mockumentary" genre, with the confession shots and actors looking directly at the camera. The jokes are laugh out loud funny and the characters are all quirky and entertaining. The whole show is about these three families that are all related to each other through strange re-marriages. You kind of have to watch it to better understand what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, this show premiered a while back, around November, so I am just watching them online. You can find the first two at www.abc.com and the episodes five to the most recent one on Hulu. But be quick, because they expire. So go watch it. now.

Coming July 16, 2010, is Inception, a Sci Fi-Action-Thriller, written produced and directed by the Dark Knight's very own, Christopher Nolan. The full plot of the movie has been pretty mysterious, but tagline is: "The Crime Scene is the Victims Mind."


I am so excited for this movie, it's ridicoulous. It is one of the reasons Im so eager for summer to come along. Probably my all time favorite actor is the lead, none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. One of the supporting Actors is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, one of my favorite up and coming actors, along with Ellen Page, who I am legitimately in love with. It will be really cool to see these actors in an action movie. Chris Nolan really hit it big with the Dark Knight, its two years later and his movie is still one of the most talked about, referenced, and loved movies in a long time. Hopefully he will meet his high se standards with Inception.The crazy thing is the trailer. It's amazing. You could probably sell just the trailer, because it is quite possibly one of the most intense, intruiging, overall amazing trailers i've ever seen. TRAILER

Yea, it did. I went into this thinking I knew exactly what it was going to be. One of those movies where something great happens tothem, then they screw it up, its tragic, but they salvage it in time. Fine, so that is the movie, but they go about it in a way thats not so Disney-esque, and I give them props for that. It really entertained me, I laughed out loud at times, I felt bad for the characters, in essence, I cared. I felt connected, which is what movies want. Thats what the audience wants as well. And they did that, which is why the movie was so succesful. The only thing I didn't really like about it was, sort of, the way Michael acted.

Let me back up. In case you don't know, Michael is poor, he is taken in by a rich family, and he is an amazing Offensive Tackle. So as I was saying, I thought the way he acted was to cliche and unnatural. Dont get me wrong, the act-ING, was great, just the way the character in the movie was written to ACT, I didn't like. Your wondering what I'm talking about. Basically, he would mope, not say thank you, never smile, I guess just act disrespectful, at least when first introduced to the family. In real life, im sure he was much more thankful, and respectful, or at least gracious in the way that he accepted their TLC. I mean no one would be like that, even if sersiously traumatized.

Oh and just some fun facts about the reality of this movie (It's a true story, Michael Oher actually is an OT for the Baltimore Ravens) Apparently the real Michael didn't like his being portrayed as a bad football player. He also didn't like being portrayed as stupid. But hey, it was for the movies sake.

So yes, in the end, this movie took me by surprise. It "Blind Sided" me. Verdict: See it in theaters if you want, dont make any sort of effort to get to see it on the big screen though. It would be fine on DVD, with the fam or some friends, unless its really important to you that you are able to chat about it with people now.

You may not have known, (but could probably tell from the ending of the last movie) that there were plans for a Spiderman 4 to be coming out around Summer of 2011. Well those plans are no longer plans. They are, ex-plans? Anyway, what happened is Sam Raimi, the director of the first three Spiderman films ( and Drag Me To Hell if it means anything ) decided that in order to meet the 2011 deadline, the movies "creative integrity" would be sacrificed. Basically he didn't think he would be able to make a quality movie in that short of a time. Toby Maguire heard the news, and also jumped ship, followed by the entire Spiderman cast. Apparently, the fued between Raimi and and Sony had been going on for a while, so this has not come out of nowhere. Plus there was some disagreement between Raimi and the studio about whether The Vulture was the best pick for the main villian. (John Malkovich was going to portray The Vulture, personally I think that would have been fantastic).

But if you are a Spiderman fan, don't give up hope, it has been decided that Spiderman Franchise will be "Rebooted". Basically, a new script is being written, a new cast, and a new director. The films will be completley different, and of course, there has been plenty of speculation about possible Spidermen, and possible directors. Spidermen: Patrick Fugit, Michael Angarano, Zac Efron, Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Cera, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. (All young actors, apparently the film will surround Peter Parker's Highschool escapades) Directors: Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer), Gary Ross, Michael Bay (Transformers), Wes Anderson, James Cameron and David Fincher.

Anyway, the whole idea of a new franchise is kind of exciting, but to be honest I'm really dissapointed. I absolutley loved the first movie, I thought Tobey Maguire was an amazing Spidey, along with James Franco and Kirsten Dunst (also amazing) and I'm really sad to see that they wont be playing the characters we know them as. Anyway, do they need to "reboot"? Is it going to be any good? We'll see. I konw it will be interesting...

Until I looked into it. Apparently there has been some uproar about Jame's Cameron stealing the plot completely from a Sci Fi book. This book is called "Call Me Joe" by Poul Anderson. In it, the main character is parapalegic, just like in Avatar. He goes to another planet and explores, just like in Avatar. He finds freedom in his new Alien body, exactly like in avatar, and finally, becomes a native and fights the power. Just like in avatar. Oh and oth characters have blue skin. So Yeah. The chiller: Poul Anderson apparently wrote another book. Called Avatar.

However, this is the internet, and to be completley honest you can't really trust everything you read, especially when it's coming from an angry mob of sci fi nerds. Plus, I love all of James Cameron's work, hes genuis, so It would be kind of hard to beleive he really did this.

 Anyway, this might be one of those movies that you see only because everyone is seeing it and talking about it, but I think you should see it anyway, its basic solid movie qualities plus the amazing FX = downright good entertainment.

This show has been going on, and on, and on. And it will continue for quite some time, I am sure of it. I want to be able to say that I am going to stop watching, but I would be lying. I am so sick of this show, but I can't stop. Im sick of Randy's nonsense advice: "it was a little pitchy dawg" loses meaning after the 500th time. Im sick of Simon's unnecesary rudeness. Im Sick of judges leaving the show and having it big news. Im sick of it, but I keep watching. I guess it just has lost all of it's novelty. The emotion that comes with a cancer patient making it big, or someone who everyone at hom thought was great, getting shot down. Its just so over done. I am going to make some sort of effort to try to watch this show as little as possible this season, but I know it wont last. This show is a timewaster and a lifewaster, so if you can escape the vortex while theres still hope for you, save yourself, from this show. It's too late for the rest of us.

I absolutley loved this movie, although I went in with low expectations, they slowly rose and by the end of the movie I was more than glad that I had watched it. The catch is that this movie willdefinitley not register as "funny" but more as "stupid" with a lot of people. What Im saying is that it has a very target audience, but the people who fall into that audience, I beleive, will love this flick.

It's short, it's cute, and it's just an overall good watch. It felt a little short, and so my final verdict is, if possible, make it part one of a double header with a more serious movie to follow it up.  One of my friends said that it looked very low grade, and I have to agree. I disagree, however, that this brings down the movie quality, because I thought it added something to the movie that made it more enjoyable.  This movie has it's cliche moments, (at least cliche for this type of movie) but it also manages to break the cliches. And well enough that if you think you should see it, in your gut, then I strongly suggest you see this movie.

This movie is great, you are at all times interested, all I can say is that I wish I had seen it in theaters. The acting is incredible, the whole western feeling is so cool. Watch it. For sure.

Writing a review for this movie is hard, because parts of it were great, but other parts weren't so much. The story was really good, the acting phenomenal. The story did a good job of balancing drama, action, suspense, and comedy to keep the viewer interested throughout most of the film. MOST, of the film. This is where the movie lags, there are too many spots where I was bored out of my mind, not just because nothing interesting was happening, but also because the dialogue felt repetitive, like the same thing was happening over and over again. The story just wasn't progressing. When the story WAS moving on, the dialogue felt fresh and natural, but at other times this just wasn't the case. I do think this was a good movie, but unless you've seen everything in theaters, or have no interest in seeing what is out, I suggest waiting for DVD.
              
Do make some effort to see this movie, because although it may not be worthy of going to the theater to see it, its a great watch, and a great commentary on a real world problem. (The racial segregation/tension in South Africa). So see it, just wait a little while.

 This is my first post of 2010, so I will be talking a little about what the new year will bring to this blog. One thing I am going to try to do is, well, blog more, sort of as a resolution. Wether or not I have recently seen a movie, or show, or something like that.
