Battleship (2012)
out of this world!
The special effects are incredible ! This movie has it all , action explosions ! And robots , who could ask for more from an action movie ! If you like intense hi-tech computer graphics ,and inter galactic battles. Between man and machine , than this movie is the one to see ! But if you like good old shoot em' up movies, like Rambo or Die Hard . Than this movie isn't for you ! I haven't seen the block buster yet but it looks amazing ! A definite must see for the big screen ! For the technology and intense high pulse rush alone ! I would give it an A +! It looks like one of the best, movies out there by far this year ! And that is no lie , I have seen a lot of movies of this genre ! This movie surpasses them by far !
Twilight (2008)
conflicted heart
I have seen this coming of age story, about a young woman who seemed to have an ordinary life. Trying to find herself, and fit in to the new town. Until she met the brooding young man and now she is stuck in middle of a sorted. Triangle between a werewolf and a vampire! And which one her heart will choose, though I haven't read the books. As of yet, I still found the movie to be bittersweet yet romantic ! I can not wait to see how this saga, between Edward , Bella and Jacob. Will end , I would recommend this movie who anyone who enjoys a good love story. But if you want to see a movie with a little bite. With no romantic undertones . Than this movie isn't for you! I would give it an A !
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
This Kung Fu panda kicks butt !
This cartoon was funny from the start,all the way to the end.I love it,because there were no people in it. Po was my favorite character,because he reminds me of our cat;all he wanted to do was sleep and eat. This was my mom's take on this hilarious cartoon! About a comical but lovable panda. Who later became the Dragon Master ! Mine was I too loved it I laughed from beginning to end ! It was that funny , I mean who would ever think a chubby lazy panda. Could become a savior to an entire village is quite humorous! We can't wait to see the sequel ! If it is anything like this one ,it will be just as funny! Jack Black , was a great choice for the voice of Po ! It made it even funnier!
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
have yourself a very scary Christmas
Once upon a time there was a town called Halloweentown ! Where everything is Halloween, all year around ! Then Jack Skelington the Pumpkin king of this dreary and creepy little town. Had a wonderfully awful idea why not, celebrate Christmas and make it ours. There in lies the title , The Nightmare Before Christmas. A dark and gloomy spin on the classic poem. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas', that only Tim Burton himself could deliver! Such a twisted tale,of meshing Christmas and Halloween together as one! In this hauntingly delightful musical. About kidnapping Father Christmas, and putting his own spin on the holiday! But his plan takes a frightful turn for the worse, when the toys he created terrify and turn on the little kids! All of that sinister planning of his crashed and burned! My favorite character was Sally , a kind hearted rag doll held captive by a mad scientist! Who in the end won over the black hearted Jack! I love this this movie ! It combines two of my favorite holidays together. In a off color
sort of way!
Mary Reilly (1996)
Dr. Good and Mr.Evil
The movie Mary Reilly, is the tale about good and evil. And how the two tore apart the soul of one man,driving him to madness.This man was a doctor by day and a killer by night.He was a healer of man loved by all who knew him.And at night he was someone that was feared by all that he meant a long the streets.He would have black outs and could not remember what he did at all.He killed many people, got away with it for a long time because; his other half would hide him in the darkness of his mind. Julia Roberts (aka Mary Reilly) played the part very well. I loved this movie because,I feel torn between my good and bad half.We all have times when we feel this way. But there are some people that do not know the difference between the two.The story Mary Reilly was Written by Valerie Martin.The other name for this dark tale is Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. By Robert Louis Stevenson. This is my mom's take on this tale of good vs evil, within ones self! mine is the two worked well together , in this dark thriller. John Malkovich , portrayed both characters equally well ! He really made me believe he had two totally different personalities. He was that convincing, I too loved this movie.
Dracula (1992)
Dracula beloved !
I have seen this rendition of the classic Bram Stoker's Gothic vampire novel. About the infamous Count Dracula Copola's vision really captured the dark essence of the story! I found it to be the best rendition ever, Gary Oldman's portrayal was incredible he really brought a chill down my spine. He was that terrifying, in this disturbing love triangle, of a beautiful young woman Mina (Winona Ryder), her handsome fiancé Jonathan (Keanu Reeves) and Dracula (Oldman)! The acting was fantastic by all, including Van Helsing( Hopkins ). This movie had it all, romance, death, vampires and other creatures of the night! And bloodshed ! The ultimate horror love story of all time! This is my daughter's take on this movie.Iam the one that told her,about this movie.I knew that she would love it as much,as I do.The love trio,between them is twisted yet some how hauntingly beautiful.
The Scarlet Letter (1995)
Beautiful sin
I love this movie , Demi Moore's portrayal of Hawthorne's character. From his classic novel was excellent, as the woman who had committed the carnal sin of adultery. And was considered a harlot and a witch. For not only did she have an affair , brought on by feelings of lust and desire. But it was with a Holy man sworn to be loyal and faithful to only the Lord our savior. Which was considered forbidden , so as her punishment she was forced to wear the scarlet letter 'A'. Which stood for adulteress, But she when found out she was with child. And out of wedlock she had only two options , neither one was promising. In the end she had only 4 options be hung, burned , end her affair with the Priest (Oldman) which was forced to leave the church. And her final choice leave with her child and never comeback! Great move fantastic acting ! Due to certain controversial content this movie isn't for everyone! But for anyone who appreciates classic literature this is the movie for you!
Hamlet (1990)
Prince on the brink of insanity
I love this movie, Mel Gibson's performance was Oscar worthy by far one of his best next to Braveheart! I haven't seen very many versions of the classic Shakespeare's play, but two. But this one surpassed the other one by far ! This is my daughters take on this movie.I have seen every one of the older versions of this play.And I can honestly say that his performance is just as good,as the men that portrayed this crazy prince in the past.Mel really made me believe that he was a mad man.He me feel sorry for him and mad at the next.If Shakespeare were alive to see him,in this play he would of loved it as much as I did. Glen Close, was great in this movie;she truly made me think that she too had gone mad.
The Libertine (2004)
Demented and repulsive!
This movie was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life time.Johnny Depp's performance was great. However the movie itself was down right awful.It was demented and degrading to gays and women. Toward the end of this piece of crap movie,he looked like a decaying corpse. I did not know that rotten flesh bad language and a lot of sex made a good movie.I thought that good acting and a good plot made a good movie.Not a man with a horrible affliction and bad acting. That is my mom's take on this ghastly movie, mine is I found it be appalling and an abomination! I did not know that obsession with man's genitals and orgies! Made a movie good! Depp's performance was one of his best ever, it is to bad. He wasted on such a disgusting , perverted piece of tripe! This movie is like the plague, it lingers and makes you suffer as you watch it! I think the worst part was his body deteriorate and wither in decay! We give this movie an F, not suitable for everyone due the pervese and disturbing content. How it made it to theaters we have no idea!
The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)
Fantastic classic
I love this movie , Leonardo Dicaprio's performances were stellar! This was a beautiful rendition , of the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas. Though I have seen it many times, it is still one of my favorites. The cast was incredible, and the acting was superb! Especially from the four acclaimed and seasoned actors, who portrayed the aging Musketeers. The only part about this movie, was the mistreatment of the good twin Philipe. Forced to hide his face, and having to live in solitude in a dark dank cell. I really felt sorry for him, because he didn't deserve that punishment! The King (also Dicaprio), was a vindictive spoiled brat especially when he didn't get his way! I didn't care for him to much, but behind the betrayal and deception. There was one character that added levity and that was Portos, I found him to be quite comical! This was one of the best versions of this classic , I have ever seen. I would give it an A++! This is my daughter's take on the movie.I too loved this movie it is just as good as,the one that;Richard Chamberlain was in.
