Gone Baby Gone 5.0 Stars
My first movie of 2008 I am completly GA-GA over.Ben Afffleck shines as a Director.This movie is highly intense and the who did it when ,where ,what all the way to the end,I thought I had it all figured out but was really off.Brilliant performances by Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman,Casey Affleck as wel although I have not seen him in too many movies so don't have much to go off of.But for the subject matter of the movie he did an amazing job.This is REALLY a must see,Next on the list guys,It leaves you asking at the end what would you have done?DAM it was good!!=)

Outstanding movie!Kevin Bacon gives a great performance as a man with a vengence he just cannot quench.Great cast,including a very raw and mean John Goodman,Kelly Preston ( always liked her),But Bacon takes the cake.Very good,NOOOO slow spots,high action ,very suspensful.Makes you wonder what any person would do,what any human may be capable of under these circumstances,Great flick,Check it out! =)

Stop Loss (2008,  R)
Stop Loss 4.5 Stars
" Since September 11,2001, 650,000 American Troops have fought in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts."

"81,000 of those American troops have been Stop-lossed."

"30,000 More Troops were sent by the President to fight the war against the Iraq Insurgency in 2007"

"It has not yet been disclosed how many of those Soldiers were Stop-Lossed."



Well here I was all excited because they jam packed a movie with a few of my very fav hunky men.Well SLAP! Reality check this movie was almost overwhelming for me.High tension,highly emotional driven story well acted and sadly true.I guess this one got to me a little bit more because my father has been through 2 wars,It amazes me the man is still completely sane.I always feel very patriotic and very respectful of what ALL of the soldiers are doing in the wars after every war movie.But this is so different,the shit never should have happened.Senseless ,greed,I'll stop before I get myself off on the wrong track.


If any military service soldier happens to stumble across this little review,Please know that I for one Have the utmost respect for you and your choice to go and do what you feel is right for your country,And I Thank you.I will make an extra effort to keep you guys in my mind a little more every day and be thankful for the little things.
I did not know about Stop Loss until this movie.But it's a chilling reminder that every God Dam day,while we are bitching about traffic, slow internet connections,how we have had a stressful day at work,We have men and women stuck in that God forsaken SHITHOLE over there waking up every day praying they will live to see the next sunrise.See This Film!

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford 5.0 Stars
Simply excellent.At first the narration got on my nerves but I calmed down about that and settled into the story.I learned so much.Aside from that yes the scenery is beautiful.Brad Pitt, I don't know how he is going to be able to keep topping himself as far as his acting ability.I think he will be a wonderful actor until he is very old,I certainly hope so at least.Casey Affleck is truly destined for special things.Excellent film,Yes its a bit long but should defintely NOT be missed.=)

Step Up 2 the Streets 4.0 Stars

I really liked this movie,I was again for the first half hour comparing it to Step up.Can't do it! They are 2 different world,The first kinda more of a love story,Don't get me wrong it was dam hard staring at Channing and watching him Mmmm Move like that for 2 hours,but anyway this was awesome.I don't know I am absolutely fascinated with Dance films it seems.This had kind of a mediocre storyline however it was carried very well.I want to also add that anyone that plays in any of these movies,Step up,Stomp the yard,etc, these people are NOT just actors they are true athletes,to have the ability to move that way and have all that endurance.Not to mention Its not just memorizing scripts this is countless hours of rehersals these folks go to to be in these films.

Their precision and timing BLOW ME AWAY.Take my opinion for what its worth,I really liked it ALOT,Just remember ,No Channing this time and a completely different storyline for this film.I would recommend this for sure =)

Cloverfield (2008,  PG-13)
Cloverfield 4.0 Stars
OK,

I have finally joined the Cloverfield club lol.I am being generous,(VERY) with giving it the 4.Don't get me wrong it's watchable,The shaky camera didn't bug me as much as I thought it was going to.The cast for being a group of "unknownes" did very well.There were also some pretty good intense scenes.But if you are expecting to see alot of monster action Sorry not this time.It's such a dam tease.But I am not going to say anymore...I don't think I have said anything more than has already been reviwed,So I hope I have not ruined anything for anyone.My best advice see this one for yourself,and YOU be the judge.Oh and if you are gonna pay $$$$ to see this at the theaters,be ready for a quick ride ok?Whole movie Start to finish is 85 minutes.Just something to think about.=)

In Bruges 4.0 Stars
This was a pretty cool movie,I was just expecting more of what the trailer gives us.What you get though is kind of an unexpected suprise.A story of Regret,Haunting memories and even sadness at times.It's kind of a dark comedy,I liked it ,like I said if you are looking for the whole movie to be like the trailer you will most likely be disappointed.

Wanted (2008,  R)
Wanted 5.0 Stars
Gawd,where do you start with this? For the action movie freaks like myself out there this movie will feed the action meter to overflowing.Once it starts it's bad you just want more and more,like a junkie that has needed a heroin fix for a couple days.The story sucks you in and with such a well held together plot it keeps you sternly in place till the very climatic ending.Stellar cast,,someone definitely knew what they were doing with this one.I will say that myself I could not have worked for Janice and her fucking stapler for more than 5 minutes before I would have quit and walked out.Anyway If you are an action fan you must see this on the big screen,Also if you are a fan of (also like myself) the bullet time film scenes that were born from the Matrix you will REALLY love this.It has perfect mix of Underdog,Comedy,Action,Revenge and Violence all balanced out with the beautiful and dangerous Angelina Jolie.Go See this soon,You WILL NOT be dispointed!

Hancock (2008,  PG-13)
Hancock 4.0 Stars
OK,ok I know what happened now,I get it.People who put the final stamp of approval on Trailers should maybe be put through a 2nd opinion sometimes.From the trailer this movie APPEARS to be a comedy.It is funny,but as the story proceeds you find out there is some drama involved a deeper meaning to Hancock and his existence.Then you throw Charlize Theron into the mix who in the trailer is bearly even shown and it 's almost as if you are watching a different movie.Hancock was great,I think Will Smith kicks ass and I always will.I think he is one of the top notch actors we have today.Maybe something could have been done more with the script as well,but all in all its worth watching =)

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 5.0 Stars
lol,Like I was ever going to give this anything less than 5 stars.In fact just imagine that I drew another 3 or 4 stars on there,Cause YA its just that dam good.I was ready to be blown away and I got just that.Incredible sound too,I want to marry the THX guy.Anyway The cast is so good,I dont know about Maggie though I just don't dig on her too much,but thats a personal thing nothing to do with the movie.So lets get dirty then,Non stop action,It was over before I knew it,A few people have commented how long it seems and that they thought it should be shorter,Um I wasn't ready for it to be over.The whole ferry scene was really a trip,I didn't expect that,very cool.Heath Ledger was absolutely magical,in fact his magic trick made my tummy do a little flip too,but he IS the joker,I will probably get a lot of shit for this I DON"T CARE!Bring it!!! Not only does Heath Ledger play the Joker he evolved into the joker and I am sorry I think he makes Jack Nicholson's joker look like child's play.He smacked his version right outta the dam park !There just IS no comparison.Dark,demented,FEARLESS.I love every twisted second he was on the screen.I can't explain the exhilration of finally getting to see this after waiting for what seemed like eternity,It seemed like the wait got longer too after Heath passed away.But it's like stepping into the front car of the brand new roller coaster and literally after the DC comics logo flashed and it was beginning I felt myself take a deep breath,I knew I was in for a great ride.I shit you not I was like Christmas for me today.I know there will be other good movies this year,I won't LET anything in my heart or mind surpass this movie.Oh and families on a tight budget,I get it,but hear me out.If you have 1 movie that you can go to all year and see in the theater you want it to be this one,I guarantee it.Anyone who waits for this to come out on DVD ,you are cheating yourself out of the full experience.Nolan is a brilliant ,brilliant man,nothing was left out.Seriously,riveted the entire time,the music,plot,characters,everything was totally ON POINT.Here I am adding my extra stars here.Go see this movie ASAP!!! =)***** and 5 more for Heath *****

This flick was pretty alright.Nick Stahl plays the brother to Charlize Theron,who is in trouble ,partying it up and basically a mess, with a mess of a life and pre-teen daughter dragged all over to hell and back with her.The acting was good,I had never seen Nick Stahl in anything before so,So far so good there.My little Annasophia Robb,I tell you what this beautiful little girl has so much ahead,she is so talented and did really well in this role.Dennis Hopper,Lord knows I love him but good lord the man plays the meanest old bastard you have ever seen.Pretty good,Not phenomenal but worth watching.=)

I have heard nothing but great reviews about this movie and now I see why,this movie is non-stop funny.The breakdown:Ben Stiller,this man is such a genius I have never watched a movie that I did not like him.Very versatile and hilarious in this film.Jack Black,quite possibly the funniest role,IMO that he has done to date.Robert Downey Jr. Goes 1,2 This is his comeback year for sure,a great follow up to Iron Man.He was absolutely brilliant in this role! My,My My I must say I guess I have forgotten how much I absolutely LOVE Tom Cruise as an Actor.He is the icing on the cake of this movie!! He is so dam funny,believe what everyone is telling you about him in this role,It's all true.Tom Cruise is simply Amazing,I really wish he would actually play more roles like this.He is perfection as an actor,he truly can play ANY role.I have such huge respect for him as an actor,If you are a Tom Cruise fan You will love him in this role.Definitely see this movie,It's totally worth it!!! =)
