Last Chance Harvey

I liked Dustin Hoffman and I felt that he did really good in this movie. I thought that Emma Thompson was the right choice to play the role opposite of Dustin. I felt her acting was good that it felt real in the moments that she was hurting. To me the movie is about love and hope that comes around as a second chance for life. Sometimes a person is so alone that they feel they should be alone and is afraid to take a chance again when love or hope is presented.
I thought this movie was well done, but maybe there could have been added to make it more intense and more heart felt. Overall I liked the movie.

Shutter Island

I liked this movie! When I first saw the previews for Shutter Island I thought it was going to be more of an horror, but it wasn't. The story line was good and went well together. The twist at the end of movie made sense and I thought it was really well done. I liked Leonardo DiCapro and Mark Ruffalo and felt that they played the characters really well. The whole movie had a great cast, everyone played their part good.
This movie makes you feel like you're able to predict what is going to happen, but as soon as you think you have it figured out, it turns around and makes it completely different. I like Shutter Island and can't say enough how much I enjoyed watching it. Although I must say towards the end of the film, once you realized what happened, it is pretty moving and sad. I feel that humans goes through traumas in their life and those that don't handle it well could turn up being insane.

The Karate Kid - 2010

I love this movie! I felt that Jaden Smith did a really good job acting out his part. I loved it especially when he cried and told him mom that he hated living in China. The emotional that he portray seem so real. Jackie Chan did a really good job too, although I thought they try to make him seem older to fit the role of the master, but I felt he should have just stay the same age he is now. That would have work out better when the movie is supposed to be more modern.
I was surprise how Jaden was transitation into his fighting skils. I thought it was clever, cute, and worked well. All the fighting scenes were done nicely even with some of Jackie's style.
The only thing that was kind of odd to me was that the fighting style was supposed to be Karate, but it was Kung-fu instead which just made the title didn't really fit with the whole movie. But overall I liked it a lot and would definitely watched it again. I would recommend this movie to anyone and any age.

Gabriel Iglesias: I'm Not Fat...I'm Fluffy Live from El Paso

This is funny! Really Funny. I was laughing my butt off every minute of the way. This was my first time watching Gabriel and it was worth the whole hour of it. I never heard of him and never realized how popular he is. Any show of Gabriel is worth watching!

The Caretaker-2008

This movie was not scary at all! I love scary movies and this one was not even spooky. It's supposed to be a homecoming party during Halloween and there's nothing in the scenes that looked Halloween or school related. The storyline was predictable and even the ending was lame. I was so disappointed, the cover and plot look so good, but I would not recommend this movie to anyone, even if they're bored and have nothing to do.

Edge Of Darkness

I actually liked this movie. It was a good movie for Mel Gibson to comeback with. It had all the things that it should have: mystery, action, drama, just perfect for Mel Gibson's type of character. I was into the movie the whole time. This is a good action movie with a few violence that may make you jump, but overall recommended to watch.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

I didn't see the trailer for this movie so I had no idea what it was about. The title pretty much sums up what the movie is about. It about military tactic involving the use of psychic as another weapon. I thought George Clooney was pretty funny which made the movie had humor in it, but at the same time it was pretty dull. Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but came pretty close.
