The Illusionist

i saw this movie Yesterday and i have to say that it was not what i Expected. NOT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL.

In this movie a For-Real British Magician called Eisenheim(Edward Norton) is reunited with his Love interest(Jessica Biel). However, Due to there Social network, She is engaged to another Man(Rufus Sewell) who is having the Chief of police(Paul Giamatti) Investigate The magician.

7 out of 10. THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE WAS SO DULL.

The mummy: Tomb of the dragon Emporer

sorry i never got around to the Illusionist. A friend brought this DVD over so i won't be able to do the Illusionist today.

This movie is about a bumbling Archeologist(Brendan Fraser) Who Accidentally unleashes an ancient Mummy king(Jet Li) who attempts World domination. The man is assisted by his wife, His son, a girl his son met and His Brother-in-law.

9 out of 10. much better than i expected. Brendan Fraser was a bit slow but was OK. full with action. Good for kids 9 and up.

indiana Jones and the last crusade

This is my favorite of all of the entire Saga. It had all the characters you loved and Loved to hate from previous movies and new characters who are new and just as good.

In this movie, Dr Jones(Harrison Ford)goes out to rescue his father(Sean Connery) from the Nazis who are searching for the Holy grail that gives the drinker Eternal life. In a flashback it also shows the reason for Indie's fear of snakes.

9 out of 10 for the saga's third part.

Batman (1989)

this was the first successful Batman Movie. I got it from netflix and i liked it a lot.

In this movie batman(Michael Keaton) sets out to fight the Joker(Jack Nicholson), a Maniacal Psychopath that sets out to take over Gotham city.

This movie was the Grandaddy of Batman movies and is good, but it doesn't compare to the Dark knight. 7 out of 10.

Sunday: The Illusionist.

Bride and Prejudice

i love this movie because it was very colorful but there was one thing that did not help. The names of the people changed dramatically from the original Pride and prejudice to this film.

Set in India, bride and prejudice is about he bakshi family whom are soon intertwined with famous Americans when the Americans come to India for a wedding. after which the men fall in love with the daughters, who are reluctant.

9 out of 10. I explained why it didn't get 10 in the first paragraph.

chicken run

i saw this movie a while ago, saw it again and appreciated it much more.(The exact opposite reaction with "Quantum of Solace")

This movie is about the chickens on a farm run by a woman and her bumbling Husband and/or brother. The chickens know they are on the chopping block and start creating escapes. All hope seems to be lost until they meet a flying rooster who might be the answer to their prayers.

Created by nick park, creator of Wallace and Gromit, 9 out of 10.

Coraline

i just got back from seeing it. It was a very good movie. It had its dull moments though.

Based on bestseller Neil Gaimans novel, this movie is about a girl who moves into her new apartment with her plant obsessed and self obsessed parents when she discovers a tunnel to an alternate world where everything seems perfect until she makes a shocking discovery.

7 out of 10. Memorable appearances by Dawn french and Jennifer Saunders make film good. Appearance by Teri hatcher makes film as nightmare like as the book.

Troy

i was watching this movie in class as preparation for a play we were going to do(We never got to it because it was 31 pages and counting).

This movie is about the Trojan war, a war in which a man steals a woman from her husband and brings her Troy, a city which is modern day Turkey, and tries to marry her. Of course, the husband starts a war and brings Greek soldiers to the city of Troy.

9 out of 10. Very gruesome and vulgar.

Legally blonde

i decided to watch this movie before i saw the play(Which was filmed live, Courtesy of MTV) and i really liked.

A sorority queen(Reese Witherspoon) takes the ultimate challenge after her boyfriend dumps her and runs off to Harvard law school: Get into Harvard and win her love back. It is seen as a challenge due to a new Girlfriend, "Mean" teachers and getting sidetracked by her beginning talent at law.

9 out of 10. very good indeed.

my neighbors the yamadas

i rented this movie recently from netflix. it was very good and also very funny. An original family film without the cornstarch Disney sloppiness.

This movie is set in china and shows the corky and unstable Yamada family and shows there misadventures in the form of a line of episode reminiscent chapters.

9 and a 1/2 for the yamadas. I did not really like the animation.

The league of extraordinary gentlemen

i got this movie from my grampa. He had it and did not really want it so he gave it us.

This movie takes place in several places such as Venice, Kenya, Britain and The arctic. it follows adventurer Allan Quartermain(Sean Connery) as he leads a group of talented individuals from various literature to stop a war machine.

10 out of 10 for the league. Very good show.

A mighty wind

i have this movie on DVD and it is one of three mockumentaries that i have. The other two are "Best in show" and "Waiting for Guffman", both of which i gave good reviews. but i never did this one.

Following the death of a folk music icon, a memorial concert is put on in honor of the icon and the groups he started up. groups include the main street singers, the folks men and Mitch and Mickey.

10 out of 10 for a mighty wind.

Paul Blart: Mall cop

I just came back from watching this movie in theaters with my family.

This movie is about a Mild-mannered cop(Kevin James) who has to fight of Criminals in the mall he works as a security guard.

7 out of 10 for "Mall cop". Physical dialogue was hilarious. Written dialogue, not so much.

Waiting for Guffman

this is another Mockumentory made into a wonderful piece similar to BEST IN SHOW.

this movie is about a small town, Blaine Missouri, having its annual pantomime, Directed by Corky st. Claire(Christopher guest) and a group of citizens from the town who are taking part in the play.

9 out of 10. Mild language is often but also stimulates the movie.

Blades of Glory

i loved this movie! It was bizarre and hilarious.

This movie is about two burnt out single skaters(John heder and Will Farrel) who do a double skate act to get back on track. In there way is another team, old rivalries and love.

8 out of 10. some things were just a bit too much.

Mad hot ballroom

i didn't see this movie until i saw my sister watching. It looked interesting, so i immediately Engaged.

This movie is a documentary about a Ballroom dancing Competition in New york that is set for fifth graders in schools that are in P.S. 115, 112 and 150.

9 out of 10 for mad hot ballroom. It was a feast for the eyes.
