Inception, the stuff dreams are made of

This review is on Inception, words cannot express the greatness that I saw in this movie. Christopher Nolan has done it again, creating the masterpiece that is Inception. This movie is full of twist and turns, that delves deep into the recessions of the mind having you think and still enjoy the movie. Inception is very complex giving layers upon layers of detail but allows you to easily follow. This movie reminds me of a 3D puzzle, when upon finishing the puzzle your actually starting to build a second layer of puzzle forming another picture, then adding other layers forming different pictures until it is complete showing the grand architecture of the puzzle. I had in the past made fun of "DeCrapio", in all honesty he is not a bad actor. The movies that he has starred in have been some of the greats in the past. Inception is no exception to the list of good movies that he has been in. Leonardo DeCaprio, playing roles like this, and showing how polished his acting skills are. He is definitely shaping up to be one of the greater actors of our time. Ellen Page has come a long way since Juno (which wasn't long ago) A movie of this magnitude, and the great work that she did will be key in landing her in bigger roles. Joseph Gordon Levitt, who I have not scene much of recently was absolutely remarkable. He played his role as if he had been acting with this level of skill his entire career. So it is safe to say that the acting was more than just spot on, there is little praise that I can give that could show the quality of the acting that I had witnessed. This movie can potentially be a large stepping stone for these two actors to further their careers. Inceptions plot line is simple but highly complex (if that makes any sense...) Leo and his team do certain jobs of invading peoples dreams and steal ideas from them. The world that is created by the architect of the dream is so real and life like that the person who is dreaming would never know they were asleep. But I don't want to give anything away, there is little that I can say that can explain without giving much away. The first ten minutes of the movie sinks you right into the world and throws your head for a loop. But is easily caught onto and even easier to follow. But this tool that Leo uses is not limited to just them, from what I caught onto anyone can use it which would be a scary and dangerous thought. Upon leaving the theatre I heard people say that they didn't like it, these people I would come to think had very little or lack of imagination. They need everything to be drawn out in crayon and numbered, they are to simple to think deeper about a story's meaning. Or even allow their minds to think for themselves and decide what to believe. People like that piss me off for their lack of vision. While still leaving the theatre I admit my eyes became slightly watery for the joy that I had felt for seeing this movie. It has been a long time coming where I can consider another movie to be added to my list of "Greats" and I will gladly clear a spot on my shelf for this movie. I have scene so much garbage to finally find the treasure that I had been looking for. I give this movie a 5 out of 4 I found my unicorn, it didn't take as long as I thought it would, but I found it. I encourage everyone to see this movie and open your mind to the endless possibility's that it possesses. Remember, the only thing that limits you is the vastness of your imagination.

Predators, what the hell is with this rule of three?

This review is on Predators, and let me get back to this rule of three. What the hell is with there being three predators in these newer movies? I will warn you now, the previews are a lie, and one of the scenes are very misleading. When Adrian Brody is standing amidst a bunch of rocks at night and all of these predator red dot sights cover his body makes it look like there are several predators. ...Well that scene never occurred, and only three predators made there presence known in the movie with a fourth in the wings. What I did like and thought was innovative, the director Rodriguez took initiative in creating separate factions of the predators. The smaller ones which are the predators that we all know and love, then there are the bigger ones that are the main hunters in the movie. Though this move was unfamiliar a change and some back story was welcome, and allowing us to know that these two factions were at war...or at conflict with one another. The story starts off with Brody free falling through the air onto the alien planet. Not really a sound opening to a movie but it has significance during the rest of the film. The plot of the film is very simple, stay alive and kill them all. I am a fan of this franchise, I truly am, I collected the alien versus predator comics, I had the predator toys when I was a kid. I loved the original movies, the AVP films were terrible, and in this movie I sought after redemption. I didn't get all I wanted but enough to satisfy me until something better comes along. I give this movie 2 out of 4. I don't know what could bring this or the Aliens franchise's back from the brink. But this movie was a good start.

Dispicable Me, its so fluffy I'm gonna die!

This review is on Despicable Me, with no real surprise I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny, very well voiced, the jokes were quite funny. Though I may have thought more things were funny than most people in the theatre. But I was told and sort of agree that the best parts were shown in the previews, which is kind of disappointing. The movie should be consistent with the jokes and not have to rely on a few good ones. The story starts off with a man named Gru, a super villain...well a has been who has been out shined by a younger villain. The ultimate goal is to steal the moon, but in order to get the moon he must obtain a shrink ray. This is where the main plot of the story takes place trying to get a hold of this weapon, thus forcing Gru to jump through hoops to get it. Steve Carell did a very good job voicing Gru, it didn't even really sound like him. This movie showed the value of family, and the bonds of love that can melt an icy heart. There wasn't much wrong with this movie other than the lack of jokes. Although I do admit that my favorite characters were the little yellow minions. They were so funny they could get there own short film. This movie gets 3 1/2 out of 4 Not good enough to be great.

The Last Airbender, not for the die hards

This review is on The Last Airbender, and first I'm going to make something very clear to everyone. I have never seen the show, this review is not a comparison between the movie and the show or trying to make some kind of relation between the two. This review is solely based on what I saw in the theatre, and let me tell you this is one of those rare cases where I agree with the news paper review of the movie. This is one of those movies where I could have easily spent a good five hours watching without break. There is so much going on in this movie that it can not be told within a mere two hours. Second, there needs to be a map at the beginning of the movie, I was a little confused at all the locations that were shown. The story starts off with the Fire nation waging a war after the Avatar had gone missing a hundred years prior to the main story line. Finding out that they don't agree with the spirits in their world that guide them. When the Avatar is awakened by two unlikely kids in the water nation a bright light flashes alerting the banished prince of the fire nation. From there when everyone finds out that he is the Avatar kind of acting like a "Jesus" in that world, and that he is the last airbender everyone is after them. The trio, the two water kids and Un (the last airbender) make a trip north going from village to village. Each of them extremely small which the fire nation had taken over, which makes me think that the fire nation are bullies rather than war mongers. The children playing the onslaught of main/sidekick characters didn't do too bad of a job acting...for rookies, better than the Twilight fags. Plenty of fine tuning is in order for the next couple of movies. The visuals were absolutely gorgeous, none of it was real, but the imagination was easily taken away by them. Striping away the arguments about the comparisons of the show, and people not liking M Night Shamalon. I found myself enjoying this movie though it had plenty of flaws. Though my biggest complaint is how the movie ended, which I have heard continuously, it ends abruptly leaving plenty of questions unanswered. And at the pace this movie was going it will take at most 3-4 more sequels to end...unless they drastically speed things up, but that's my assumption. I wouldn't mind seeing another Airbender but there is too much story to cover, and with the children aging so fast it would be impossible to do within such a short time. The 3D was and wasn't there, it was very hit and miss, and to have the movie only showing in 3D in most area's is kind of low. Trying to force people to pay more for a movie is a very low trick indeed, a movie shouldn't have to rely on underhanded tactics and trust in its ability to entertain the masses. I give it a 3 out of 4 plenty of polish will do his movie good to make it a true gem.

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, all that glitters is stupid

This review is a unique one, I went to a marathon (unwillingly) of all three twilight movies at the theatre. And I shall take a little time to dig once again and get a little personal with all of you. To put it simply I have seen this story before, I have reenacted this story long before it ever became famous. There was this girl That I worked with not too long ago, 3-4 years ago I think. Pale, light brown hair, gothic, nice but slightly dark. She had a boyfriend who she had been seeing years before I had even met her. But spent everyday together and eventually she said she loved me...how much she would never admit to me but said she only made time for her boyfriend and myself (which was probably a lie.) But none the less it was a struggle for her attention that ultimately ended up in heartbreak for myself. I have seen this story before and in the end its kinda lame. I have never reviewed any of these movies so here goes nothing. Twilight is a story of a stupid girl whom develops a taste for the dead and tormenting and using the beast that obsesses over her. Kristin Stewart (Bella) is one of the worst actresses I have ever seen, its actually up in the air between her and Megan Fox. But every line that came out of her mouth proved how bad she was. Robert Pattinson wasn't that much better. I spent quite a large portion of the scenes Robert and Kristin shared laughing. Twilight starts off with a girl moving to a town that I'm sure has no shortage of...Forks n.n She sees one of the gayest looking guys I have ever seen and this childish love hate, obsess and neglect relationship starts. No real plot that I could make out until other vampires show up and for some reason wont stop for anything to suck her blood. Which the plot was quite easily resolved, and there was just no real purpose for it. The struggle developing a relationship between a human and vampire would have been plot enough. I give it 1 1/2 out of 4 this movie required different actors.
New Moon is a slight improvement to its predecessor, and I mean SLIGHT, the only reason I liked it better was that Robert Pattinson was in the movie for maybe ten to twenty minutes (Thank God). Taylor Lautner is by far the superior actor to his other costars, and other then the fact that everyone cheered when he took off his shirt, I just enjoyed his character better then the for mentioned (Edward). Maybe for reasons that I felt I could connect better with him then the tall vampire that looks like he stuck a fork in a wall outlet or something. New Moon start with Bella, whom still had terrible acting, having a birthday party at the Cullins house. Edwards vampire family throw a party for her and Bella cuts her finger on the wrapping paper and everything goes to hell. The vamp family has to leave Forks and Edward breaks it off with Bella which turns her into an emo then dilusional adrenalin junky that has night terrors and screams in her sleep. Which I found myself laughing even harder with each night terror scene. So she goes and runs to Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and uses him to make the pain of her loss go away, but never truly gives herself to him. Again no real plot until the end of the movie after Jacob becomes a wolf and Bella runs off to Spain to save Edward from doing all of us a favor and ending this saga quickly. I give this movie 2 out of 4 just for the sheer reason that Lautner is better than Pattinson. (Go team Jacob)
Eclipse is where the actors have started to show that they have gotten their roles down. There were noticeable improvements in the actors abilities...with the exception of Pattinison, whom still sucked horribly. I did enjoy seeing the two males in this movie argue over her, it was quite humorous. And to hear about the history of the wolves was somewhat interesting, and to find that much detail in a story that is some womans wet dream of making two guys suffer over her and manage to claim them both. I really can't find much joy in watching these movies for it is quite degrading to men. Eclipse starts off with Bella and Edward talking about marriage and her turning into a vamp. Veronica a vampire from the first movie and makes a brief appearance in the second, goes after Bella because the Cullins killed her mate. Raises an army of "New Borns" which are vamps who are first bitten, to go after them for vengeance. Nothing very exciting about this movie, I was told there was humor to it and the audience did laugh...except for me. I laughed at more inappropriate moments. And at movies end I hear in the audience behind me "They definatly left it open for a fourth." No kidding...its a four part saga the last book/movie is called Breaking Dawn. I hate this crap and I even knew that... I give this movie 2 1/2 out of 4 the acting was better, but the story is still lame. If these vampires didn't "glisten" and all look like they prefer sexual encounters with others of the male species then this saga could actually be good. Oh and also better actors.

Knight and Day, I was happily annoyed

This review is on Knight and Day, coming into this movie I felt right off the bat I was going to hate it and be disappointed. Well I was both wrong and right, there were parts that were somewhat enjoyable and others...well not so much. Tom Cruise for once didn't creep me out...OK well he did but I liked it and you can call me weird all you want but I enjoyed his performance. And there's Cameron Diaz -.- this chick annoyed me, and actors are suppose to look young, she looked about 50 and I wasn't the only one who noticed. There were other things that I noticed about her but I was told to keep this "Clean" so out of the respect for the person who made the request I shall make it so. So when Cameron is in a bikini you see something sagging and its not her tits...I'll let you figure it out. But other than the physical complaints about her, the acting from Cameron just wasn't there for me, the best part of the movie was when she was drugged. The plot starts off when man bumps into woman in an airport, then bumps into her again. They sit next to each other on the flight and sparks immediately fly, romance is in the air and both are conscious of it. The woman excuses herself to the restroom then all hell breaks loose when the entire populous of the plane tries to assassinate Cruise. In a sense everyone is killed that isn't Cruise or Diaz (including pilots) O.O When she emerges from the facilities everyone is sitting upright in their seats and the two main characters share a drink before the need arises to land the plane. Cruise is an agent/ex agent protecting sensitive materials while trying to chase around and protect his air headed soon to be sidekick (Diaz). All in all its worth a rent at the redbox, its innocent fun, maybe a first date kinda movie. Couple laughs with some humorous action provided by Mr. Cruise. The plot twists and shifts quite smoothly gliding me into illusions the characters provide to cloud the plot. I'm giving it a 2 out of 4. Replace Cameron Diaz, she was the only bad thing about the movie.

Killers, psycho killers ques que cest fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better...no, no its worse.

This review is on Killers with Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigle I think thats her name. This movie was boring, barely capable of holding my attention. Ashton is by no means funny and Heigle seems kind of like a bitch. It seemed that they tried so hard to be funny, and in one or two rare occasions I cracked smile but they were few and far between. I think the three other people that were in the theatre with us were asleep. Not that I blame them, the only reason I stayed awake was for an accurate review. The plot and finish were highly predictable, the "action" was laughable. I'm not even going to bother telling you the beginning or the plot, its not worth my time or yours. Just don't go see this movie. Ladies if you really want to see it I suggest waiting for the redbox because that's all its worth. I give it 1 out of 4 Later y'all I'm gonna go see Karate Kid again.
