Unstoppable



Unstoppable is about a dangerous runaway train carrying toxic chemicals. Train engineer Frank Barnes(Denzel Washington) and conductor Will Colson(Chris Pine) team-up to stop it. Connie Hooper(Rosario Dawson) works frantically with the two men to stop it before it derails and causes the spilling of toxic material on a small town.


Directed by Tony Scott, he has made this high impact action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Once again Denzel Washington has you spellbound, and you can't look away.


I give this movie 3 1/2 Stars.

Paranormal Activity 2


After Katie and Micah tragic ending, paranormal activity 2 sets a continuation of the original format, so you think? The new suburban family under siege by unknown forces, coincidentally is the family of Katie's little sister. The family come home to what looks like a break-in, so the family set-up security cameras all around their house, only to realise that a more evil presences is there. No one is safe, but especially baby Hunter.

Wow, this is the first time that a sequel is better then the original, with all you're question being answered from the first movie. You will scream, hide your faces, and afterwards have the whole family join you in the same bed. This is a must see.

I give it movie 4 1/2 Stars.....

Jackass


Guess who's back? Those crazy Jackasses Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and the rest of the gang. With pranks like the sling-shot port-a-potty with Steve-O and a large supply of human excrement, lots of balls shots, animal stampede, and their usual chaotic pranks.The gang are a bit older and more reluctant to do some of the stunts. The 3D technology that puts everything up-front -and personal, redefines the usage of balls across your nose.


If you love Jackass 1, and 2, you will love 3D. Johnny and the boys have become very rich men doing this, and those Jackasses are laughing all the way to the bank. The pranks are so stupid, that you love it, for its simplicity mix with chaotic, sick, demented humor, you will love it. And what do they say? Oh, yes it always better in 3D.


I give this movie 5 Stars....

Conviction


Conviction is based on the real life events of Kenneth Waters and his sister Betty Anne Waters.
This movie is about Kenny Waters(Sam Rockwell), who in 1983 was arrested for murder and sentenced to life in prison. Betty Anne Waters(Hilary Swank) a Massachusetts single mother of two boys and Kenny's little sister will go to great length to exonerate her brother conviction.

Betty Anne Waters spend 18 years to free her brother and she did it. She sacrificed her marriage to achieve the impossible, and undue the injustice committed on her beloved brother Kenny. This touching story of love, and blinded faith to her brothers innocence was extraordinary, and her believe to fight with everything you have, for the one you love.

I give this movie 5 Stars....

Hereafter




A drama involving three different people from three different parts of the world. George Lonegan(Matt Damon)is a American with genuine psychic abilities. He struggles to lead a normal life without the use of his power. All the while, his brother Billy(Jay Mohr) urges him to use his gift for money. In Paris, Marie Lelay(Cecile De France) a French television reporter has a near-death experience during vacation, with a powerful tsunami.

And in London, Marcus(Frankie McLaren) identical twin brother Jason(George McLaren) was suddenly and tragically killed, Marcus attempts to reach his brother by any means necessary. Each of them, in search of the truth of the existence of the hereafter.




Directed by Clint Eastwood, this multi-language movie French and English with subtitles was long and monotonous. The best sequence was the first fifteen minutes of movie, then it went downhill from there. This movie will be best enjoyed on cable t.v. were you at least can change the channel, and it won't hurt your pockets.

Never Let Me Go


Childhood friends, Kathy(Carey Mulligan), Tommy(Andrew Garfield) and Ruth(Keira Knightley) grew-up in Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic British boarding school. Life at Hailsham was solace for the children, unfamiliar with life outside the gates, they found comfort in each other. Until a rude awakening occurs, when their teacher Miss Lucy(Sally Hawkins) informed them, that they're all very special children with a unique propose and their life's in the outside world will be very different, compare to everyone else.

Never Let Me Go is a drama/thriller directed by Mark Romanek, this movie was dull and boring. Unable to follow the storyline at first, then you realize that you don't care if you do. I rather be at home painting my room, and then watching the paint dry.
I give this movie 1 1/2 Stars.

Director Robert Schwentke creatively transfer this high action-comedy with an equal amount high explosion not seen in other movies. RED is based on D.C. Comic graphic novel by Warren Ellis, and Robert Schwentke turn it to a MUST SEE MOVIE. Action pack from beginning to end, this movie is perfect for the adventure seeking men and romantic seeking women with enough of both to satisfy everyone. You be leaving wanting more, "THIS I GUARANTEE".

I give this movie 5 Stars.
