This movie was epic. I would recommend seeing it in 3-D but if you can't you will still be surprised by the movie. The characters were great. The movie was great. Everything I wanted in a movie. Five stars.

No Country for Old Men was scary! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Javier Bardem is one of the most intimidating men I have ever seen on the big screen. Tommy Lee Jones as always gives his dry humor to the movie, I like the guy. Josh Brolin as a Vietnam Vet made me wonder a little, but once he started kicking some ass at the end, I was convinced. Five Stars.

"Adaptation"

This has got to be one of the most bizarre and inspired movie scripts ever written. All the actors do a great job but the story is something else. The story keeps folding inwards on itself as the movie becomes the writer trying to write a movie that is an adaptation of a book. Nicholas Cage plays 2 twins with opposing characters. Chris Cooper plays a Orchid Hunter and Meryl Streep plays a writer who is writing about the strange world of these orchid hunters. This is a must see for anyone interested in movie writing or just a fantastic story. I'm slotting this into the Top-10.

"Into the Wild"

Director Sean Penn brought his A-game for this one. It had me on the edge of my seat. The performances of Emile Hersch, Hal Holbrook, Kristen Stewart and last but not least, Kathrine Keener are fantastic. This movie is dramatic and mildly disturbing. Those with timid eyes might not like it. In conclusion, 5 Stars!

"American Gangster"

Denzel Washington will get my nomination for best actor. Russell isn't quite ready yet. As an Australian actor, he hasn't reached the genre of the Americans yet. He will though. Let's not forget the fantastic performances of Josh Brolin, and Tip Harris (the new comer). Chiwetel Ejiofor has always been a good actor, he just hasn't gotten the recognition. In summation, this movie gave me chills, literally! 100% thumbs up!!! This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

"Blood Diamond"

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my favorite actors. This movie is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. I almost broke down into tears twice throughout the duration of the movie. Jennifer Connely has done some light stuff since her fantastic performance in "Labrynth" as the star of the show. She does a great job as the "hard to get" reporter on a mission to expose the illegal diamond trade. Djimon Hounsou steals the show at certain points that sent chills up and down my spine. I give this movie five stars, thumbs up, and whatever goes along with those!

"The Departed"

Jack Nicholson delivers his most impressive performance ever, in my book. He is followed up by two performers, Vera Farmiga and of course Leonardo DiCaprio. Closing the show is Mark Walberg who I wasn't quite sure about. All in all, I liked this movie very much! Intense and heated moments take control. Alec Baldwin was perfect for the role he plays. The cast and crew pulled it off!

"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.
