Shutter Island

Excellent

Excellent but darn near superior. The only thing keeping it off the superior list is that fact that it just wasn't quite as good as the ones on the Superior list. I was worried that the movie was going to be more like a haunted house movie, but it wasn't. In fact all of the "supernatural" things happen only during dream sequences. The last 20 minutes of the movie are the best, and they really make the movie great. Even though I figured out what was probably going to happen, I was still surprised by the way it was all wrapped up.

All in all some gret film-making. I fully recommend this one!

Machete

9-5-10 The Grand Theater Horrible...Great...Not Superior What can I say, it was as healthy as cotton candy. Was it trying to be a serious action flick? Sometimes. Was it a comedy? Maybe? Bad writing, dumb ending. Cool action scenes followed by ridiculous embarassing action scenes. When you add it all up what a horrible movie. You shouldn't go see it because it's so stupid...it's so dumb...it's cheap entertainment with it's decapitated heads, pretty women and ugly men both doing outlandish, illogical and implausable acts. So there, take that, it's a bad movie. By the way I liked it, but I shouldn't have. Do you want to go see it with me again? Machete Trailer

Inglorious Basterds

The Grand Theater 8/23/2009 Excellent This move was as good as I had hoped it would be. What made it good was what makes all good movies good, "Writing" Quinten Tarantino is one of the best writer/ directors around and Inglorious Baterds fits his style perfectly. This movie is not as good as Pulp Fiction, but it is most certainly in the same league. This movie takes it's time and isn't consumed with the violence, even though it is extremely violent. There are no weak (or short) scenes. The dialogue is carefully written and the character complex and interesting. The best performance is by Brad Pitt. If only this were a true story, things would have been different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sQhTVz5IjQ

The Karate Kid

6-28-2010 Countryside Cinema Great It would have been better if it wasn't a remake. However, Karate Kid has such a great fomula you didn't mind many things being the same as the original. In fact, I kind of got upset that it wasn't exactly like the original, only with different characters in a different setting. I though the main characters were too young. It's hard to relate to a love story with a 12 year old. Jaden Smith needs a new hair cut, he looks like a girl, no I mean he really looks like a girl. He needs also to stop acting in the same manner as his Dad. It just reinforces that he's too young to be an actor of his own making. Ok maybe I'm too picky, but it's just a thought. I thought Jackie Chan (who I'm not a big fan of) showed a great deal of emotion and acted very well, even if it was hard to understand him from time to time. Do not expect this to be as good as the original because it's not, however I think they got it right. Just like th
