Knowing 2009 8/10

Ok I know that critics have slammed this movie but I don't care. I saw the film in theatres and at first I was a little confused weither I liked it or not. In the last month I've been finding myself hungry to get a hold of the DVD. I am really excited to see it again. I have the OST, I watch the HD trailer now and again and I keep finding little things in the film that I think "Now that is KICK ASS!!!" If you haven't heard, the ending is really strange. For me personally I think the ending was poor but I can't get over how awesome some of the scenes were and the score! The score is amazing. I'm listening to it right now. It's scary, emotional and epic! For a $50million budget, they did really well! Sure the acting is crap and the script needed some work but the rest is pure delicious! I can't wait for the DVD!

Unforgiven 1992 8/10

Con Air 1997 6/10

hmm..where to start..o.k. I will just list pros and cons.

Pros:

• 1) Awesome Action Sequences
• 2) Bombs/Bullets/Blood
• 3) John Malkovich
• 4) Cobra Attack Helicopters
• 5) Bashing the hell outta Las Vegas

Cons:

• 1) Nicholas Cage's Hair
• 2) Acting
• 3) Script
• 4) Colm Meaney
• 5) Soundtrack

I'm undecided about this film...it's got it's good points and bad but it's worth watching so it gets a 6/10.

True Lies 1994 7/10

 A great action flick from director James Cameron. Although long and sometimes a little slow, this film delivers bone crushing, gun blazing, explosive action, ending with a harrier jet battle. Acting is of course lackluster considering the cast. (with Tom Arnold contributing a lot) But the cinematography was top notch and direction was well thought out and executed. Overall an acceptable and exciting action film with FX that could stand up to today's standards.

War of the Worlds 2005 7.5/10

A nice WOTW re-make from the legendary 1898 H.G Wells novel of the same name. I've seen the 1953 film and apart from the obvious difference in visual effects the story is a lot more personal, which is closer to the book. Surprising performances from Cruise and Dokota Fanning, well cast for the parts they play. The cinemitography is well directed which is to be expected from Speilburg. Visual effects are spectacular with specific mention to the tripod design and behavioural characteristics.

There Will Be Blood 2008 8/10

There will be blood is a master work from director Paul Thomas Anderson. With actor Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role, who gives a stimulating performance. Daniel Day-Lewis's character plays a self made oil tycoon, we watch his progression from a mere well hand to a rich capitalist businessman.
The film features stunning performances from all the cast and sets itself in the rugged, dessolate terrain of the deep south. The film was sometimes slow but didn't detract from the story or cause the overall film to suffer. It just wouldn't apeal to younger people or people with short attention spans. Overall, brilliant acting, ingaging story, gorgeous cinimatography and thought provoking symbolism! Top notch.
