I found myself interested in every word and focusing on every incredible scene of The Hurt Locker. Not since Platoon and Saving Private Ryan have I viewed a war film as worthy a selection for the Academy Awards.
I liked G-Force, it’s a very good family film filled with comedy and adventure that kids and most parents will like. It’s a rollercoaster ride in 3D as the film pops out at a frequency that keeps youngsters grabbing at the air and pushing themselves to the back of their seats.
The film Orphan is fun to watch, but not convincing enough making it a run-of-the mill horror flick. The evil storyline is interesting and somewhat surprising with makes it fun to watch. The twists and turns come late in the film so one needs to pay attention so you can say, Oh I new that was going to happen.
Although Humpday is groundbreaking in that it show’s the other side of the temptation to experiment with alternate sex, I found the film insincere and lifeless. In fact I really don’t know to what lifestyle to even recommend the movie. Most of the gay lifestylers will leave the theater with an empty feeling, and I don’t think male straights will make it thorough to the enlightening ending.
The movie Afghan Star, a documentary that depicts a return of pop culture to Afghanistan, takes a courageous peak into the lives of a people and culture that has been constantly changing. I liked the film very much because it reaches into the hearts of the Iranians who seem to be looking for freedom from oppression and the right to happiness through self-expression.
Mystical, mushy and meager is the best way to describe the movie version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth in a series of seven books by J.K. Rowling. Not your ordinary kid friendly film, but more of an updated drama filled with romance, some adventure and sinister machinations.
Unfortunately I saw the trailer for I Love You Beth Cooper and was expecting a lame film with some bad acting. Well I must admit, the film was quite good, with some nice performances from Rust and Panettiere and witty support by the rest of the cast. If teen movies are your passion, then run to see this film.
