"Breach"


Breach is fantastic! The crew and cast were done perfectly. A closer look into the C.I.A. for any of those that are watching. To make a long story short, I loved it!

"Fracture"


This movie was really dark! I thought that Sir Anthony was spectacular. The only person that outshined him, was Ryan Gosling. This guy is from Canada, and absolutely amazing. There are rumors about that he was dating Rachel McAdams for a short time. After seeing their performance at the MTV Music Awards, I believe it!

"Number 23"


This movie was scary. It is a true horror flick. I don't know what else to say... Continued on: Jim Carey is fantastic!

"Inside Man"

I justed watched "Inside Man" last night starring Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster. The title seemed familiar and I thought I'd already seen this 2006 movie. I had clearly let this one slip under my radar. Inside Man takes the bank robbery movie genre into new and exciting directions. This plot driven movie has a host of great actors. None of the actors really shine in their own right. The intriguing story is the true star of this flick. http://www.insideman.net/index.php

"We Own the Night"


This movie was a little weak I thought. Phoenix and Walberg together though, what a combo! The plot was sort of lame, and I didn't think they gave Eva Mendes enough face time. All in all, three stars.

"The Queen"


Helen Mirren is a classical actress from London. She gave one of the most spectacular performances that I have ever seen. Mad props Helen!

"Knocked Up"


This movie was absolutely insane. I personally thought that it was amazing. Child birth is one of the hardest things to do. If I could explain it, I would probably be a millionaire.

"Eastern Promises"

This movie grabs you down low and shakes you around from the start. From its life size violence to its vibrant characters Eastern Promises is a movie of flavors. The flavors range from the Russians mob, depicted in lavish colors in the Russian mob bosses restaurant and then less delicately in his sons brothels, to the sweet house of a young nurse, played by Naomi Watts, who stumbles her way into the lives of these mobsters, to the streets of London where these contrasting worlds collide. The story of Eastern Promises is a cohesive unveiling of what lies in the depths of the hearts of a variety of criminals as they struggle with an implosion of dilemmas. We learn about the criminal minds of the mob boss at the top, his young flagrant son who assumes that he will get the crown someday and their employee who is stoically pounding his way into a position of greater and greater importance. Each criminal is starkly different from each other in their motivations yet their fates are twisted together as each one struggles to survive the difficulty drama they are entrenched in. The unfolding of the story reveals the bitter truths about these criminals in a beautiful explosion of flavors, tastes and aromas. In summary, the movie was good.

"Bobby"


This was personally one of the best movies I have ever seen. I thought the acting was incredible! The cast of stars goes on for miles, A-listers!
