How to Train Your Dragon

When I first heard about this movie, I thought no, I'm not interested in it. But having seen the film I walked out of the cinema and thought over everything that just happened and I decided it was a pretty decent movie.
How To Train Your Dragon is about a town full of Vikings.  It isn't infested with mosquitoes or slugs, instead its infested with dragons. Everyone there has to work on trying to kill or at least help kill a Dragon! The town warrior is very skillful and good at killing dragons, his son however is not. His name is Hiccup (Jay Burachel).  His dream is to be the first to kill a dragon no one has ever seen before. One day he catches one and sets it free knowing that it was as scared as he was, but the dragon keeps coming back to him so he learns alot about the creatures and no longer wants to kill them.
This movie is really good the only problem is that it takes a bit too long to get in the feeling of fllying with dragons.  If you do see this, you must try and see it in 3D the flying scenes look real!

2012

2012 is such a bad movie that it is actully funny.
The movie is obviously about the apocolypse of 2012. It begins with a divorced father called Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) who does not feel that he gets his part of the kids. But once the waves of destrution start to hit, the whole family seems to help eachother stay alive. (Which is wierd as the parents never talk to eachthere).
This movie is pathetic even though the trailer looks good it is not.2012 is unrealistic as they would be dead halfway through the move

Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs

This movie is fun, full of laughter and makes you hungry.
The film is about a scientist named Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader)who never achieved any sucssesful inventions. Then he makes an invention that will never be forgotten called the FUDEMUFER (i'm not kidding, it's something like that).  It converts water into food, which drops right on a town in Alaska. The town soon gets out of control with all the food coming down from the sky, a lot bigger than they'd imagined. This movie is very creative and unusual as the town never could manage to get full of food.
Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs is a very good family movie, it has action and laughter.

Planet 51

Planet 51 has put sound effects and scenes from other movies to improve this film's reputation.
This movie is about an astronaut they call Captain Charles T. Baker (Dwayne Johnson).
He lands on a planet full of what he sees as aliens.  Only trouble is on this planet Captain baker is the alien.  He causes major panic, the captain's space shuttle gets put in a compound and he has to find some alien friends to help him get back to earth.
It's a good idea, but I'll get to the point fast here this movie is boring!  Nothing really happens in it and its just feels like everything in it was easily predicted.

Wanted

Wanted is one of those action packed movies that us blokes all love.
Wanted is about an ordinary guy named Wesley Gibson (James Mcavoy) who gets unexpectecly recruited to a team of assassins.The leader of the assassins, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) tells him that he has the talent to make his heart beat 400 times per minute. He soon finds himself with his partner Fox (Angeliana Jolie) who has the talent of curving the bullet which Wesley must master. His assasination target seems to trouble him and get him to start to wonder if his been told the truth by his fellow assasins.
This action movie is really unrealistic. They flip a car over 20 police cars by running into a speed bump, then jump a 20 metre wide road and shoot guys while still in the air. I guess the curving bullet is acceptable but more then 1 unrealistic thing is over the line for me.  If you can look past the unrealistic stuff this is an extrodinary action movie, so pick it up from the dvd shop.

Gran Torino

Gran Torino is Clint Eastwood's latest movie and he's blown me away, as usual.
Gran Torino is about a war veteran called Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood).  He is getting old and his wife has just died. Walt's neighbourhood has becom increasingly Vietnamese, and a Vietnamese family has moved in right net door.  He does not feel comfotable with these changes. Though he becomes friends with them the Vietnamese gangsters get one of his neighbours to try and steal his car, the Gran Torino.  This movie is about racism and how violence is not very cool.
This movie is fantastically dramatic and the racism and violence make you feel frustrated.

Constantine

I think that the movies name should be changed to Angels and Deamons.
This movie is about a guy called John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) who is trying to earn his way into heaven by slaying deamons, but things aren't exactly going his way. He meets a girl called Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz).  Her twin sister commits suicide and Angela Dodson tries to figure out with John Constantine why this happened.
This movie is a very weird and unusual one. Deamons get into humans bodies and control them.  By the end of the movie you'll be asking your self questions, guaranteed. Keanu Reeves acts well in this movie, but it's just not a very good movie.

Romeo + Juilet

Romeo + Juliet is one of my favourite plays by shakespeare.
This movie is about 2 families who have minaiture wars.  romeo is from the Montagues and Juliet from the Capulets. They fall in deep love, willing to do anything to see eachother.
Let me start off by saying this movie is not a love story that will bore your son out of his mind.  This movie is also action packed. What Baz Lhurman changed the setting from the 1600's to the modern time., so yes they do use guns.
The soundtrack for this movie was another thing that pushed this movie to a higher ground, even though there are some random artists in it.

AVATAR

Ok if you have not seen avatar I suggest you watch it as soon as possible because its by James Cameron and its a really good movie.
AVATAR is about a war on an alien planet they call Pandora, there fighting for steel in the ground which is worth a lot back on earth, the main charachters job is to go into a machine that lets him control one of the aliens. He must learn there language abd there ways of doing things to get there trust, but will he stay with the marines or join the aliens and kill his own kind.
This movie is very creative for the visual effects, the story line and the story behind the whole movie. The actors was a nice mix as James Cameron got an actress that he'd used before like Sigourny Weaver and some new actors like Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana.This movie started a new look at things like the amazing special effects. Over all this movie is a must borrow and watch once more or buy the movie.

The Hangover

I admit that I should not have seen this movie for some very good reasons that i will not be sharing here. 
This is the 2nd funniest movie i've ever seen.
The Hangover is about 4 guys who go to Vegas for a bachelor party. They wake up in the morning not remembering a thing about last night and their friend who's supposed to get married today has gone missing. They spend the day searching all through Vegas to find their friend, in the process they find out what happened the previous night.
What made this movie funny was when they uncover stuff that will effect there family or themselves and we see how they react to it. When you watch this movie just a note: listen to whatever the guy with the beard says, he practically just says funny stuff.

Aliens In the Attic

If you've seen the Aliens In the Attic trailer and decided not to watch it you made the wrong choice!  This movie is actually a really funny kids movie and I really enjoyed it. It's about two families that go up to a holiday house but soon the kids find out that Aliens have moved in on them so they try and stop them from setting up the Alien invasion.
Theres not much I can say about the movie besides that it's excellent and very well done.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend is a Will Smith movie and one of his very best. The movie is set at the end of the world and Will Smith and some other characters are left on earth. But, there's one trick: at night time the zombies come out of there dark holes to kill whatever humans are left.
This movie is fun, action packed and sad!  So don't think it's some movie that has action all through it and is just boring because it isn't.Will Smith has acted at his very best once more and topped it off with the way he makes you keep watching with this oustanding movie.

Alice In Wonderland

Tim Burton's next movie has come to cinemas, Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland let me think, ok if you've seen the original or read the book it's the same story. Really this wasn't nearly as outstanding as I imagined it to be, in fact it was not big on story line it was the visual effects that made it half better than what it would've been. This movie is not one of Tim Burton's best but it's worth borrowing from your dvd shop.

I give it 5 white rabbits out of 10.

Blair Witch Project

Oh my gosh I just finished watching the Blair Witch Project, scary stuff. I understand if you think about it the movie is 10 years old but so am I and it's good to watch an old movie here and there.
The movie is about two boys and one girl who go into the woods to film a documentry on the town myth the Blair Witch, but they get a bit more than they expected when they start to get hunted down at night.
The magic of this movie is how it was filmed on a video camera, and the very first to do so. This movie is not your average family movie even though it's rated M it's one of the scariest movies i've ever seen. It might not be Saw or Friday the 13th scary but it's enough for me to be out of my wits.
These University students have proved that not every scary movie has to have blood and violence all through the movie, suspense is the key to achieve that.

I give this movie 8 screams out of 10.

The Birds

The birds is is one of my favourite Hitchcock films.The movie is about a girl called Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hendren) who goes to Bodega Bay to deliver some birds to a man named Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor). Some time later the birds start to attack everyone in Bodega Bay, locals and visitors.
I personally like this movie because it is suspenseful (in my case that's always a good one). It has good character selection and most importantly Hitchcock managed to stick to the realism of what birds can actually do.
