U.S. Rating: PG-13
I've always said that The Twilight Saga should ever be remembered for gathering the worst and most untalented cast in Hollywood. I personally believe that those films have been extremely successful for anything you might think, but the talent and acting performance of its cast.
I remember discussing this with my wife Mary, she agreed with me on most of my comments, but disagreed about Taylor Lautner. She said this guy was the best from the Twilight cast and shouldn't be considered as a low level actor as Robert Pattinson or any other guy from the Saga.
Well, after watching Abduction, I should say one more time that Taylor Lautner is just another untalented actor from the Twilight cast. If there were some doubts, his performance on this film confirmed my thoughts about his acting performance. The sad thing about this film is that it actually had a pretty interesting script for a good action movie, not mentioning the great supporting cast (Sigourney Weaver and Alfred Molina). The acting performance of all the cast involved in this film showed just a poor acting performance. Taylor Lautner's acting reactions, in several scenes were so awful and fake that it even looked ridiculous! Even Sigourney Weaver, which I consider such a high profile actress had some low moments on her acting performance on this film.
Anyway, as said before, it is a good action script that could have been extremely sucessful with a better cast, especially, a better lead role. With Taylor Lautner, it looked just like a "Bourne wanna-be" film.
The film is about the story of Nathan Harper, a teenager who lives with his parents, Kevin and Mara. He frequently consults a psychiatrist, Dr. Geraldine Bennett, about s a recurring nightmare, trying to discover the meaning of it.
During a school assignment about missing children, Nathan is partnered with his neighbor Karen Murphy. Karen finds a website that shows how the children would look like as adults, and they discover that a young boy named Steven Price would look exactly like Nathan, when Price got older. Searching in his basement, he finds the same shirt that Steven is wearing in the picture and realizes that he and Steven are the same person.
Nathan calls the website's owner, unaware that he is a Russian terrorist. The man reports back to his commander, Viktor Kozlow, who deploys two agents to Nathan's house. They attack Nathan's parents, who tell him to run before being murdered and the house is destroyed. Nathan and Karen escape and attempt to call the police, but the call is intercepted by CIA operative Frank Burton, who tells Nathan that he's in danger and sends a team to pick him up.
Before the team arrives, Dr. Bennett appears and tells Nathan that Burton can't be trusted. She reveals that Nathan's biological father, Martin, is a CIA agent who stole a list from Kozlow with the names of corrupt CIA operatives and that Kozlow created the website in order to locate Nathan and use him as leverage to force Martin to return the list. Kozlow's men appear, having intercepted Nathan's call. Bennett tells Nathan to run away and head for a safe house in Arlington, Virginia. Karen decides to go with Nathan. Before they leave, Bennett tells him he can only trust his father and a man called Paul Rasen, and blows up her car to facilitate both their escape and her own.
Nathan and Karen arrive at the safe house, where Nathan finds Martin's cellphone as well as an address and photo of his biological mother, Lorna Price. They discover that she is dead. Nathan visits her grave and notices fresh flowers, so Karen asks the caretaker about recent visitors. He reveals that the last visitor was Paul Rasen from Nebraska.
Nathan and Karen head to Nebraska on a train; Kozlow's right-hand man follows them. When Karen leaves to get food, he kidnaps her and attempts to capture Nathan, but Nathan overpowers him and throws him off the train. Karen escapes and reunites with Nathan. They leave when the train stops in response to Kozlow's agent's death. Nathan takes Kozlow's agent's phone during the fight.
Burton and his men find and convince the two that they want to help. They stop at a diner, where Burton tells Nathan about the list. Nathan checks Martin's phone and finds the list, which contains Burton's name. Before Burton can react, Kozlow's men attack the diner and kill several of Burton's men. Nathan and Karen escape while Burton and his partner kill Kozlow's men.
Kozlow's right-hand man's cellphone rings and Nathan answers it. Kozlow reveals that he has planned to kidnap Karen's parents and will kill them if Nathan doesn't give him the list. Nathan agrees, but says that he'll choose the place of the exchange. Kozlow agrees. Nathan realizes that his nightmares are due to repressed memories of Lorna being murdered by Kozlow while trying to protect him.
Nathan decides to give Kozlow the list at a Pirates baseball game, and reveals to Karen that he actually intends to kill Kozlow. Nathan receives a call from Martin, who tells him not to give Kazlow the list. Nathan ignores his advice, and tries to shoot Kozlow, who steals the gun and tries to force Nathan to give him the list. Burton's men, stationed all over the stadium, open fire as Nathan escapes, with Kozlow in pursuit.
Martin calls Nathan and tells him to lure Kozlow to an open area. Nathan does so, and, as Kozlow prepares to kill Nathan, Martin kills Kozlow with a sniper shot fired from a nearby building. Burton's men appear and capture Nathan. On their way to CIA headquarters, Burton attempts to decrypt Martin's cellphone. However, his superiors reveal that Martin has warned them that Burton would attempt this in order to remove his own name, and Burton is detained.
Martin calls Nathan one last time and apologizes for everything. He says that he'll always be watching over Nathan, who reunites with Karen and Bennett, who tells him that she has arranged for him to live with her until he graduates, at which point he can move out to attend college. Nathan thanks her and leaves with Karen for a date in the empty stadium.
Definitely a good script that could have been a great action film. Sad it lacked of good acting performance.
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

I must start saying that I still remember the first time I watched the original film from 1981 with Dudley Moore. It was considered one of those great comedies from the 80s, and honestly, it really was. Dudley Moore was simply hilarious playing Arthur, not mentioning the amazing cast involved in that film. I was really excited when I heard Warner Bros was working on a remake of this successful comedy, even tough, I got really cautious about how good it would be when I knew that Arthur would be played by Russell Brand. Oh boy, I wasn't wrong. I'm not a big fan of Russell Brand. I personally believe he looks and acts like a total weirdo. I think that the only decent job he's made so far was on the film Get Him To The Greek, maybe because the rest of the cast had such a strong influence on the film that he was just part of the job, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, as said before, I didn't like the idea of casting Russell Brand to play Arthur. I must admit I had a few laughts, but none of them related with Brand's performance. The rest of the cast made a great work, especially Luis Guzman and Helen Mirren. Even though it was part of "Arthur's personality and nature", Russell Brand played the role in another level of stupidity and childish personality. Yes, he played it ok, but I do believe he didn't honor Dudley Moore's work at all.
The plot brings the story of Arthur, a childish momma's boy who's drunk most of the time and spends his fortune with no limits or bounderies. While his mother tries to keep their empire on top of their expectations, Arthur's behavior is pushing investors away. That's why his mother offered him an ultimatum: Marry Susan Johnson, a talented business executive and ex-girlfriend of Arthur. They have nothing in common, but since his mother threatened him that if he didn't accept the proposal he'd loose all of his money ($950 millions), he agreed to do it. The only problem is that during that time of engagement and wedding preparation, Arthur meets a nice humble girl and falls madly in love for her.
Arthur needs to manage the situation of being engaged with someone he doesn't love and someone he met and fell in love with but can't tell the truth about it.
A really entertaining plot, but as said, it was too childish to handle. It could have been such an entertaining film to watch if maybe the lead role could have been played by someone else.

Synopsis: After a misunderstanding aboard an airplane that escalates out of control, the mild-mannered Dave Buznik is ordered by Judge Daniels to attend anger management sessions run by Doctor Buddy Rydell, which are filled with highly eccentric and volatile men and women. Buddy's unorthodox approach to therapy is confrontational and abrasive and Dave is bewildered by it. Then, after yet another mishap, Judge Daniels orders Dave to step up his therapy or wind up in jail. So, Buddy moves in with Dave to help him battle his inner demons. Buddy himself has no inner demons since he acts out at every opportunity and that includes making lewd comments about Dave's girlfriend Linda and goading Dave into confronting every slight, past or present, head-on. But Buddy finally goes too far and Dave must decide whether to crawl back into his shell or stand up for himself. Could it be that Buddy's confounding and contradictory treatment is just what the doctor ordered?

One crazy hilarious film that matched the perfect combination: an amazing cast, good direction and a pretty funny script.
Anger Management is about the story of Dave Buznik, a young executive who faced a traumatic experience being a little kid. He was embarrassed while he was trying to kiss the girl of his dreams when another boy dropped his shorts down in front of all his friends, people and especially, the girl. Now that he's an adult, he has some issues trying to kiss or show affection to his girlfriend in public.
During a trip for work, he faces an incident inside the plane and he needs to face the judge who obligates him to ger enrolled in an anger management program for 20 hours. He'll face some really crazy situations while he's involved in this program, especially when he faces some events that will make him feel like he's losing his girlfriend.
The end of all these crazy situations, program and events are finally related with a secret help his girlfriend has set to help him to take a step forward and control his old fears and traumas, and more important, show her the love he feels in public and feel comfortable to commit and propose her.
A hilarious plot with some amazing role performances played. It was actually funny to see that Adam Sandler was put in a second place, overshadowed by Jack Nicholson's hilarious role.

1. Jack Nicholson rocked in this film! He was simply hilarious!

Jim's grandmother is sick and wants to see Jim walk down the aisle, so they're going for it in two frantic weeks. Stifler plans to be there (for the bridesmaids!) and, more importantly, to throw the ultimate bachelor party (for the strippers!). Finch is all for the hedonistic rituals, but not for letting Stifler steal the maid of honor, who happens to be Michelle's sexy younger sister, Cadence. But while everybody else sweats and frets, Jim's Dad is cool as ever, dispensing advice that no one wants to hear and getting ready for one of the best days of his life.

Normally, huge hits like American Pie can't handle a sequel without falling into a boring, nonsense of unfunny content. This is not the case for this funny franchise. American Pie I, II and American Wedding is a perfect example of how to maintain the story and sequels as funny, creative and entertaining as the first one. There are other films that are (supposedly) related with these three original films, some of them even have one or two members of the original cast (for example, Eugene Levy), but they have nothing to do with the original trilogy and their creative funny content.
This film brings some really interesting details to their fans. First of all, American Wedding didn't fall into something boring or unfunny. It has some crazy bizarre content, but at the same time, a original and creative plot that will keep you laughing from one scene to another one.
I remember a while ago when some members of the cast were asked about a future sequel, they commented that there was a big chance for it, possibly about an affair, a baby birth or any other situation that could reunite the team. It's been almost 7 years since American Wedding, but the good thing is that new rumors are flying around the entertainment industry about a new sequel or reboot of this great franchise.
If you enjoy these comedy films and haven't had the chance to watch this one, I totally recommend it. I'm sure you'll have some good laughs.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely, the best of this film is Seann William Scott's role, Stifler. It was hilarious! His change of personality and his dance scene at the gay night club were the best!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It's been a long time since they made this film without coming with a new fresh and good sequel or reboot with the original cast

Synopsis: Mary Horowitz is a cruciverbalist - a crossword puzzle constructor. Her brain spins at warp speed with an endless stream of arcane information. She can come up with the perfect word - and dozens with the same meaning - at a moment's notice, but "normal" behavior eludes her. For Mary, nothing is typical, especially relationships. When she is set up on a blind date with handsome cable-news cameraman Steve, Mary thinks the chemistry is undeniable - that Steve is "the one." Steve, on the other hand, thinks Mary is crazy. Mary, who just knows she's found her soul mate, decides to do anything and go anywhere to be with him. She begins to pursue Steve relentlessly as he crisscrosses the country, covering breaking news stories. Mary's escalating infatuation with Steve is encouraged by the self-serving actions of news reporter Hartman Hughes, who enjoys torturing his insolent cameraman at every opportunity. With Mary never far behind and Hartman urging her on, Steve becomes increasingly unhinged. But when Mary becomes embroiled in the news story of the year, Steve and Hartman begin to see her differently. Hartman is plagued by guilt, knowing his game of one-upmanship with Steve has placed her squarely in harms way, while Steve is feeling his own pangs of remorse at his callous behavior. Despite the media storm surrounding her, Mary with her upbeat, unaffected manner brings together a small community of new friends. And all who encounter Mary will realize that sometimes the ones who don't fit in are the ones who really stand out.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
Most of the reviews and comments about this romantic comedy are as tough as they can be, and I must agree with them in some way. With such an amazing cast, we could have expected more from the script and story. Sandra Bullock gave her best and saved the day with her leading role as a crossword puzzle constructor for a local news paper who is incredibly smart but really weird at the same time and falls in love with Steve (Bradley Cooper) on their failed first blind date. Bradley Cooper played an ok role, since his role didn't demand much from him, Thomas Haden Church stole the show with his funny role as the irresponsible, immature and dumb journalist.
Most of people have been really tough on this one, but I would say that is a really good option for a lazy afternoon or night weekend at home. I'm sure you'll have some good laughs.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The scenes when they meet for their blind date and she jumps on him inside the car, when she finds Steve at the hospital and the scen when she falls in the hole, really funny!
2. I really enjoyed Thomas Haden Church's role, his dumb and immature competition with the journalist from the other tv news station and how he gets his anchor role
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. With such an amazing cast, the script should have been way much better
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of "Titanic," first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not exist yet. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where corporations are mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.
Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world.

This is one of the of those perfect examples of why we shouldn't take our decisions based on the critics, reviews and comments of those who claim to be professional movie critics. I'd say that 90% of the reviews that I read (most of them from important portals and newspapers) made me think that this film didn't have what it takes to make history. Of course, most of them said that the effects and 3D technology applied to the film were A1, but the plot was plain and boring. Most of them said that all this film had to offered was delivered within the first 30 minutes of the film. I spent the last 4 weeks going to the movie theaters making my decisions based on any other movie but Avatar, since I wasn't convinced it would be a film worth to watch.
I finally took my decision to go and watch Avatar this week after reading a couple of articles about the top 5 movies in box office's history. I noticed that Titanic has been in 1st place for about 10 years, collecting the impressive amount of $1.7 billions, but Avatar has reached the 2nd place in just 4 weeks after making $1.4 billions! There must be something that is making people going to the theaters and watch this film over and over again!
Avatar is one of those unique films that you MUST watch on theaters... in 3D! If you miss the chance, you're missing the beauty and the best of it! Avatar brings an unique and spectacular new era in especial effects, technology and film scripts.
What's Avatar all about?
Avatar is the story of Jake Sulley (Sam Worthington), a Marine who lost the use of his legs in combat. Jake had a twin brother, a scientist working and training for the Avatar project, who died in an incident. Jake was offered a new life in a new planet, taking his brother's place. This was extremely important, since the Avatars were bio-engineered bodies genetically coded to an specific human. Even though he hasn't got the specific training, Jake got engaged in the project and was able to take total control of his Avatar.
The RDA Comporation is leading the Avatar project in Pandora, the planet inhabited by the Na'vi, a blue-skinned species of sapient humanoids with feline characteristics. Pandora's atmosphere is toxic to human. This is the reason of the creation of Avatars, Na'vi bodies modified with human DNA that are controlled by genetically-matched, mentally-linked human operators. These Avatars let Marines get involved with the inhabitants of Pandora, learn their language and culture, trying to convince them to relocate and let the Corporation and its project to exploit Pandora's reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium, valued in $20 millions per kilo. The inhabitants fight against the invaders trying to protect their planet, nature and the fragile balance in their natural world.
Once Jake starts learning the language and culture, getting involved with the inhabitants, he starts learning the importance of their beliefs and nature protection. After a series of events, Jake takes side with the inhabitants and fights Colonel Miles Quaritch and his army with the support and help of the inhabitants and nature, fighting them in an epic battle.
Avatar is one of the most amazing films I've seen so far. James Cameron took technology and visual effects to a higher level. The images and motion capture employed for the film are more than impressive.
The plot, the weak side of the film - according with the "professional reviewers" - is simply amazing. It is actually a pretty basic plot... yes, but a simple and strong script that is able to deliver the drama, action and emotions needed for this amazing film. Everything was beautifully matched... the direction, cast, plot, technology, effects and images.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The 3D technology and CGI effects applied, incredible!
2. The plot is simple but strong and entertaining, it is able to deliver the message and idea of the script, and most important? It matches with the visual side of the film
3. The cast was perfect for the film
4. I loved how colorful the film is!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Nothing at all!

Directed by: Nimrod Antal
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I could say that Armored is one of those movies that you won't remember the morning after you watched it, but I do believe that it will definitely entertain you while you watch it, no doubt about it. With such an amazing cast, this intriguing plot is played by some of the most talented actors in Hollywood. They do what they do best, and they deliver the unique suspense and action that we expect to see in this film. Based on a group of officers working for an armored transport security firm, they plan the fool-proof ultimate heist against their own company, while they deliver 42 millions from a financial entity. Everything went well until they include an honest officer that is forced to accept be part of the plan due to all of his financial and personal problems, but when a serie of unexpected events start playing against their plan, this honest officer will turn against his partners and will stop them, doing whatever it takes to save the life of a police officer, his younger brother and his own life. A really entertaining action film, totally recommended for a quiet and relaxing afternoon at home.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Such a great cast selected for this film

Synopsis: When Robert Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati -- the most powerful underground organization in history -- he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.

I should start saying that I didn't read the book, just watched the movie. For many critics, Director Ron Howard left out much content from the book that gave more sense to the plot. No matter what, Angels and Demons is such an amazing entertaining film. Offering so much more action and suspense than its predecessor, Angels and Demons brings a joyable plot, amazing locations, monuments and historic places in Rome and the Vatican, and such a great performance by the lead roles played by Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor. I personally believe that its predecessor, The DaVinci Code, offers more suspense, drama, thriller and action, but Angels and Demons focused on the entertaining action and suspense. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The roles were actually really entertaining and greatly played
2. The places, monuments and locations were impressive
3. Even though, Ron Howard didn't take some detailed situations that would give more meaning to the plot, it was still really entertaining
4. The image quality (in theaters and Blu-Ray) are simply amazing

Synopsis: Kiki Harrison is the devoted personal assistant to beautiful, narcissistic megastar Gwen Harrison. She also happens to be Gwen's sister. Life with her famous sister has never been easy for the awkward and self-conscious Kiki, but it's about to get even harder since she's agreed to help Gwen and her estranged actor husband Eddie Thomas reunite for one last public appearance to promote their latest movie. Veteran press agent Lee Phillips, on the brink of being replaced by his younger protege, is put in charge of masterminding this highly anticipated event. With Kiki as his secret weapon, Lee just might make this weekend go off without a hitch. At first it seems Lee and Kiki's biggest challenge is to maintain the peace between Gwen and Eddie and keep their high profile image intact, but soon Kiki finds she's faced with a more important concern as her longtime friendship with Eddie surprisingly begins to take a romantic turn.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
Having such an amazing cast, America's Sweethearts could have been way much better than it really was. A comedy about that plastic and bold relationship between the entertainment press, Hollywood stars and public in general. The plot could have offered so much more, since they had so much material to bring a pretty strong romantic comedy script. No matter what, the unique cast was able to make the film so enjoyable and worth to watch. Each one of the people involved shined in their own sphere with their professionalism. Billy Crystal was amazing! He stole the show with his hilarious role of the smart and ingenious agent who takes advantage of every single situation and turned them into publicity for the movie and projects. Even though I think it could be so much better, I totally recommend this film for a good and quiet movie night.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Billy Crystal was the bomb in this film, excellent!
2. Hank Azaria's role (Hector) was hilarious, his Spanish accent and the fight he has at the Hotel restaurant
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The plot was too plastic and could have offered more strong material

Directed by: John Hindman
U.S. Rating: R
For those who have watched this film, yes, it might be a sassy plot with some flaws or inconsistencies, but I MUST admit that I really loved the film. The Answer Man offers such an enjoyable smart sense of humor and great dialogues. It might be kinda slow during some moments, but it definitely will keep you laughing during most of the important moments of the film. The perfect film for an early morning in bed or a quiet afternoon at home.
The Answer Man is about a man who "supposedly" talks with God and has received the answers to some of the most important questions in life. He's been writing most of these experiences and knowledge and has collected more than 25 books over 20 years of writing. He tries to keep his life and privacy under radar and he lives a pretty boring,depressing and lonely life... until he meets the perfect girl. After suffering of a severe back pain, he visits a quiropractor to be adjusted and meets Laureen Graham. They start a friendship relationship that soon will turn into what seems to be a life-chaging romance experience. During this process, they will face some experiences and situations, crossed with other people's lives and tragedies, bringing a great romantic drama ending to what I believe it is a funny and smart script played by such a talented cast.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I totally enjoyed most of the dialogues on this film. I believe it offered such smart and hilarious comments and expressions!
2. It offered such a professional cast for the roles in this film
3. It tried to keep a balance of comedy/drama. I couldn't define the film as a romantic comedy with some drama, or a romantic drama with some comedy. It was able to balance the comedy/drama content in most of the scenes
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The plot has a couple of slow/boring scenes during the film, but it was ok though

Synopsis: Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.
Starring: Al Gore
Directed by: Davis Guggenheim
U.S. Rating: PG
One of the best documentaries I've watched until this day. No matter how dramatic or eco-horrific it might look, Al Gore put so much statistical facts, information powerful and intelligent arguments all together to present not a "scary" but thoughtful documentary about how our actions directly affect the nature and the world we live in. Al Gore tries to describe not just what Global Warming is, how it works, but how it affects the planet and our lives, especially through all the latest events and natural disasters. I personally learned some amazing details about our planet that I wasn't aware of. Totally recommended... Worth of the Oscar received.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The statistical facts and information presented in such a professional manner and in a very entertaining way
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. So much material, thoughtful facts and information that might not being taken as serious as it should

Synopsis: A traumatized woman is questioned by a cop and a psychiatrist about three stories involving a clown, a hotel and a convoy, that involve her and two of her female friends from childhood.
Starring: Keir O'Donnell, Katheryn Winnick, Laura Breckenridge, Jessica Lucas, Tad Hilgenbrinck
Directed by: John Simpson
U.S. Rating: R
Amusement. I'd define this movie with a simple word: Weird. When I watched this movie, I honestly thought it wasn't a traditional movie, but a series of short individual scary chapters no related at all. The structure of this plot was kind of interesting. The plot starts with three individual situations and incidents. After these three individual episodes, the next stage on this movie starts on a interview room, where the person involved in the third episode is being interviewed about the incident and tragedy she lived. That's the moment when she finds out that the person who tried to kill her is an old school friend with some eccentric/morbid ideas and sense of humor. She goes back in her mind to the moment when she and her friends, the ones involved in the other individual episodes, were together at their school and the crazy little boy that tried to amuse them with a dead rat in a box was the same one that not just killed some people, but tried to kill her too. A horror movie that I could say, offer a few scary/entertaining moments.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I like the plot structure. The plot and story was kind of boring, but the structure (starting with three individual episodes, going back in time, and coming back to present
2. I totally loved the t-shirt/vest used b the girls at the end of the movie, the ones with the chest open, like an autopsy... when the crazy guy kept them tied in front of the glass walls
3. The scenes with the dolls and the clown was kind of scary and entertaining
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was weird to watch Keir O'Donnell in a role like this one. After watching him in some really cool and funny comedy movies, it was weird to watch him in a key role in a horror movie, playing the character of a crazy weirdo
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Adventureland, a self-professedly 'funtastic' Pennsylvania amusement park, appears to be the bane of recent college graduate's James Brennan's existence. He previously had big plans to spend the summer on a life-altering trek through Europe that would initiate him into real adult life. But when his family suffers an economic downturn in the middle of the Reagan 80s, James' only summer trip is straight to a minimum wage job manning a game booth so existentially bankrupt, no one is even allowed to win the giant stuffed panda. Yet, Adventureland isn't quite what it seems on the surface. For behind the cloying cotton candy aroma, the grating disco songs and the near pathological customers, there's a whole other world of misfit friends, hidden dreams and most incredibly, after-work encounters with the alluringly sharp-tongued arcade girl, Em Lewin. And when James discovers the hard-won courage to go to battle for Em, the result is a savagely funny yet sweetly heart-felt and unexpected encounter with 'real adult life'.
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Martin Starr, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig

A very slow movie. I expected it to have more comedy that it actually had, since the trailers tried to make it look like a summer comedy. It had some really funny scenes and moments, some drama and romantic situations, but I could expect more from it. Maybe I was expecting the plot to be a school dumb comedy and this was more a drama/romantic plot with some comedy scenes. Ryan Reynolds, I don't know... his professional performance is like waves, he works in some really funny and great movies, or big movies like Wolverine, and then he plays roles like the mechanic who fixes things in a local theme park and likes to cheat on his wife but, he's a really good guy at the same time... no comments. And finally, I haven't finally decided to watch Twilight. I know it's been a huge success, but I've never felt the desire to watch it. I might do it one of these days. I brought the Twilight comment, since it seems to be Kristen Stewart's most important credit, being the second role in this movie, but oh boy, she sucks as an actress!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The way the park's manager runs his park, no comments! really funny
2. The scene when Jesse Eisenberg is called the boner after kissing Kristen Steward in the pool
3. I kinda liked the end of the movie, how the guy after trying to save money for his school in NY moves to NY with no money, just trying to find the girl he wants
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Kristen Stewart, she sucks as an actress
2. Ryan Reynolds, a crappy role after being in some recent great movies
3. The story says that it is in the 80s, but noone dresses like being in the 80's only the music played in this movie is from the 80's
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: Risk-averse Reuben Feffer, whose best-laid plans for life and love careen wildly off-track when his bride dumps him on their honeymoon for a muscle-bound scuba instructor. Stunned, humiliated and in the grip of acute indigestion, Reuben plans to play it safer than ever. But a chance adventure with an adventure-craving childhood friend named Polly, shoots him into a whirlwind of extreme sports, spicy foods, ferrets, salsa dancing and living in the moment.
Starring: Ben Stiller, Jennifer Aniston, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Debra Messing, Alec Baldwin
Directed by: John Hamburg
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I really enjoy Ben Stiller's humor and movie style. Being a loyal movie follower of both, Ben Stiller & Jennifer Aniston, this movie was a big hit when it came to the theaters in 2004. We can enjoy a really funny and spontaneous plot from the very first minute in this movie, when Reuben gets married and plans to enjoy a great honeymoon with his wife (the beautiful Debra Messing) on a paradisaical beach, and from that very moment we can enjoy all kind of crazy and funny situations, showing the meaningful and important changes and risks anyone can take in his or her life, especially when extreme experiences and love are on the way.
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a really funny role in this movie as the crazy, weird famous actor "wannabe", loyal friend who always tries to give him some "helpful" advises.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Taking the risk of eating spicy food (even when he hates it), I totally laughed hysterically when he was eating at an Indian restaurant on their first date. The way he was sweating profusely and all the situation on Polly's apartment after their dinner out.
2. The one-on-one basketball game situation between Ben Stiller and the hairy & sweaty guy. Totally hilarious and disgusting!
3. The first time they go to the Salsa club. His dancing routines... such a funny disaster! After few salsa lessons, his final visit to the Salsa club and his especial and professional routine... Hilarious!
4. The moment when Philip Seymour Hoffman takes Ben Stiller's place and gives the presentation to the company's board about the insurance policy and the safety issues conclusion. He had no idea about anything he was saying, but he looked so convincing on what he exposed that he got the insurance contract.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I would prefer for them to get married at the end of the movie, especially when they are at the paradisaical beach. But it was a great end anyway, givig the option of taking things one step at a time, taking the time to know themselves better and get to the next step when they feel they're ready for it.
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
