This movie was way better than it was supposed to be. I mean James Cameron writer/director, James Horner composer, Celine Dion singing at the ending credits, it's going to be Titanic 2 right? Wrong. Although it uses all the ingerdients of a normal movie it uses them in the most effective way possible. It's like going to your favorite restaraunt and ordering you favorite dish and enjoying it. Was it a surprise? No, but you enjoy it anyway.

Now I'll be the first to say it's not the best of the superiors, in fact it's probably the worst of the superiors. If I look over my list though at all of the Excellent ratings, I will not find a movie that is better than this one.

Great action movie, with great sci-fi ideas that was crafted very well. It's a bit long, but even after 2:40 I'd like to stay in that world a while longer. That's the usual sign of a Superior movie...you don't want it to end.

I tried to fight it, I didn't want it to be true but it is. Avatar is a superior movie that I highly reccomend...

Except can we please get rid of Celine Dion...She ruined "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic as well.

Seven Pounds

1/2/2009 The Grand Theater Good Why was it called 7 pounds. This movie could have been excellent. It had great acting. The storytelling was the problem. It's annoying because you don't find out the whole story until the very end. That's ok if what we find at the end is something amazing, or shocking. Something like "Seven" "Fight Club" "Sixth Sense" They had shocking ending which made not knowing what's going on worth it. 7 pounds wasn't worth it. It was about redemption, however the main character didn't need redemption, he himself suffered great loss, and those he helped were random and unconnected to those he hurt, accidentally. If they were somehow connected, then maybe it would have been better. If maybe there were no clues given it wouldhave worked better. The clues were given throughout the film, and you can piece it together yourself. The problem is you're not surprised by the ending you've been waiting for, yo...

Green Book

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.

2/16/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent Where is the press on this one? What a great movie. Very sensual, if you're uncomfortable with naked people, this one isn't for you. There's a lot of naked. There was so much involved in WWII it's amazing how many stories can come from it on all sides. Great acting, go see it!
