Synopsis: On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.

U.S. Rating: R
I'm such a fan of the three previous movies, especially the second and third one. On these previous movies, everyone of them were attached to the first experience or movie, when they faced a similar situation and they got the complete information about how things happened and all the effects related with this situation, for example, the sequence of deaths, the things that would happen (showed in pictures, etc). The daily, usual activities that killed all these people in these previous movies gave its own trademark. Maybe I was expecting something different in this new sequel, especially because the name and trailer try to sell the idea that this new sequel will be "different" from the previous ones, it will be "The" Final Destination, that they will be able to break the death process. Well, I was totally wrong. It was just more of the same shown in the previous three movies, with just a big difference. It was way more predictable than the previous ones. Besides that, the cast wasn't able to offer the emotion and suspense, sense of horror that I was able to feel in the previous movies. Really cheap acting performance in some important scenes and moment through the movie, but well, I could at least say that I enjoyed it, it was good watching it at the movie theater though.
What did I like from this movie?
1. That it was filmed in 3D
2. The effects shown in some scenes were really good, especially when they were shown in 3D
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The cheap acting performance from most of the cast involved in this movie. For example, the moment when the security guard is trying to kill himself. When the guys find him in his room trying to die hung but the rope breaks and he falls in the floor and gets up and starts talking, walking and doing things like nothing happened... not even a single cough or feeling like chocking!
2. The guy that dies in the pool, his role sucked. The bad guy that doesn't care about anything, just like a similar guy in the second movie, the one that dies in the field cut by the wires. In this movie, this guy was "too much" obvious that was acting more than playing a role
3. The situations involved in every single death were a bit more exaggerated than any of the previous movies. In the previous three movies, every situation that led to every death looked like spontaneous mistakes and situations that provoked those deaths. In this movie, every situation looked like they were manipulated for an invisible person who managed every single mistake (real or not) to provoke these deaths
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden sees that he has a natural talent for street fighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership. As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.
Starring: Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Zulay Henao, Michael Rivera, Flaco Navaja (II)

U.S. Rating: PG-13
A movie with an excellent cast. Terrence Howard played such a enjoyable role in this movie. Even though this movie is predictable and the fight scenes are just 3 major fight scenes, these scenes don't take more than just very few minutes each. The whole story is about the process of this small-town boy trying to survive in a metropolis like New york and how he gets deep in the underground world of illegal fighting while other people bet on these fights. I don't know if watching Fight Club and Fighting within the same week would affect my point of view about street fighting plots, and especially about this movie Fighting, since Fight Club made history in this kind of movies.
What did I like from this movie?
1. As said before, what I really enjoyed from this movie was Terrence Howard's role. He played such a really enjoyable role, even during the slow and boring moments through the movie, his role brought some really entertaining situations.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Being a movie about street illegal fighting (the movie is even called "Fighting") there are only 3 major fights (and, these fights take no longer than just few minutes)
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: FBI Agent Gracie Hart became an overnight media sensation after she successfully disarmed a threat against the Miss United States Pageant while working undercover as a contestant. But things haven't been going so well for her lately. Reeling from a broken romance and frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardizing the undercover work she loves, Gracie reluctantly let her boss, Agent McDonald, talk her into serving the Bureau in the only way now possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit as the face of the FBI. Capitalizing on the greatest PR coup in agency history, the FBI presses their new poster girl into a while of photos ops where she re-enacts her pageant exploits to an adoring public, with the help of her personal stylist Joel to smooth her rougher edges.
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Regina King, Enrique Murciano, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson
Directed by: John Pasquin
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Being such a fan of Sandra Bullock, I believe this sequel was not one of the best in her record. But, it wasn't her fault at all! The plot was a basic script that relies heavily on repeating gags from its predecessor, which I consider was way much better than this sequel. It brings some good laughs, but the plot was not able to offer good material for almost 2 hours. I started enjoying it at the beginning of the movie, some moments in the middle of the story, but definitely felt like the end didn't offer much, or it was just me getting really bored after (almost) 2 hours watching this movie.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The moment when Sandra is talking with the other agent at the airport and she says "You might consider a tic-tac"
2. Some scenes when she's tracing the people involved with the kidnapping

Synopsis: A team of mercenaries under the command of hard-charging war veteran Mack (Gooding Jr.), are contracted by a mysterious CIA operative named Elissa (Cruz) to rescue a scientist (Perlman) working on an archeological discovery deep under the Middle Eastern desert. With the help of a mysterious priest (Rollins), Mack and his team soon discover the true secret of what lies beneath the sands. A secret that has been protected for thousands of years. A secret that is not of this Earth
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr, Taryn Manning, Valerie Cruz, Ray Winstone, Franky G
Directed by: Jason Connery
U.S. Rating: R
I personally don't know what's been wrong with Cuba Gooding Jr lately. All his most recent movies and roles couldn't ever be considered good enough for such a good actor. While I was watching this movie, I thought for a moment that I was watching a cheap version of Resident Evil, when a team commando is sent to a secret underground lab in the middle of the desert and they have to fight all these dead people. It might be a watchable movie for those lovers of war movies, even though, as I said, I think that Cuba Gooding Jr has lost his mojo lately with the most recent movies he's played in (except American Gangster).
What did I like from this movie?
1. What I liked from this movie is that I always love war/action/thriller movies, even though, the plot wasn't as good as I expected it to be, it was ok for a war movie.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The whole disgusting thing about the dead zombies spitting the soldiers and friends, really grouse.

Synopsis: Based on Mexico's current criminal climate, EL CÁRTEL is a rare look into the values and practices of the world's most intriguing and enigmatic industry - the multi-billion dollar business of drug trafficking. When Jules Land, a naïve business journalist, approaches Mexico's most notorious drug cartel and requests an audience with its leader, a one-time-priest turned murderous cutthroat, he quickly realizes he's in over his head. Wanting only the chance to kick-start his struggling career, Jules goes from seeking to understand the principles behind The Cartel's success, to fighting to return home with his wits - and his life - intact.

First of all, how in the world, a naïve business journalist will have a face to face interview with a Lord of Drugs? For someone who has lived most of his life in South America, I know that this is almost impossible to do. You will certainly get either killed trying. You just need to read or watch documentaries about Pablo Escobar, the most famous and terrible Lord of Drugs that have ever lived so far. This people are not a celebrity or politician that you just go to their assistants or secretaries and set an appointment to talk with them! anyway, I watched this movie and I might have liked that they showed (just the very top of the iceberg!) some of the hundred, maybe thousand different ways that drug dealers try to move their merchandise. Also, how they try to show in this movie their evil actions toward anyone that interfere in their business.

Synopsis: Katherine Winter doesn't believe in miracles--she believes in facts. A former minister, Katherine turned her back on the cloth after losing her young daughter and husband while doing missionary work in the Sudan, and now seeks answers through scientific investigation rather than prayer. As a university professor, she has become the foremost debunker of supposed miracles, called to sites all over the world to investigate weeping statues, wall stains resembling saints and palms that bleed. And so far, there is no divine mystery she hasn't solved. But when small-town schoolteacher Doug Blackwell seeks her help with a series of bizarre occurrences the townspeople believe to be sent by God, Katherine and her partner Ben come to learn that sometimes miracles can be treacherous, and the line between faith and superstition is dangerously thin. Hidden among the woods and swamplands of Louisiana, Haven is a town where the rules of reason seem to have been rewritten. A child has died and the river has turned to blood, which is only the beginning of what appears to be a revisiting of the Biblical ten plagues upon the town. For the first time in her professional career, Katherine can't explain these phenomena with science. The townspeople believe an enigmatic child named Loren McConnell has brought God's wrath to their doorstep, but what they see as a harbinger of evil, Katherine sees as a lost child needing her help. The more she is drawn into the dark heart of the mystery, the more Katherine discovers her own role in a conspiracy that threatens to shroud the world in darkness.

U.S. Rating: R
A good horror/thriller movie. I really enjoyed the plot, since the end reveals things that I wasn't expecting at all, especially related with the whole situation about the girl and the deaths. Hilary Swank plays a great role in this movie, giving life to this doctor who tries to find the responses and reasons for all the scary and bizarre situations faced by this little town in Louisiana. The little girl also plays such a good role, along with the rest of the cast in this movie. I definitely recommend this good horror/thriller to all those lovers of horror movies, or those lovers of Hilary Swank's work.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I really enjoyed that Hilary Swank, in her role, tries to keep her position and vision, finding the reasons to all these situations through scientific facts, and not by miracles and other mysterious situations.
2. It actually had some good effects. For example, the insects attacks, the fire explosions, etc.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The end was a little bit theatrical, lots of fire explosions, they should have kept it the same way it was through all the movie, but the end was ok though.

U.S. Rating: R
Bachelor Party Vegas, an entertaining movie for all those who love this kind of bachelor, college kind of guys movie in Vegas. This plot brings some funny situations and scenes, where Nathan (Kal Penn) and his friends travel to Las Vegas to celebrate his bachelor party. From the very first moment when they're trying to take their flight to Las Vegas, they have to face weird and bizarre situations, including being related with a casino robbery. At the end, we find that most of the crazy different situations were all related and there's some kind of boring message about friendship. Anyway, a movie that I could consider a good option for a Sunday afternoon, if you have nothing else to do and want to have some (trivial) laughs.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The scene when they found the porn movie studio and one of the girls' boyfriend (with his biker fiends)get to the studio and want to hurt anyone that is with his girl
2. The moment when they're running from these bikers and find the "Elvis" woman with the spaguetti pool
3. When the limousine with the chunky strippers stops and give them a ride, but few minutes later they're dropped in the middle of the street because the girls asked them to show them their willies and they were "too small"
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The end was a little bit boring of unexpected, when the bachelor party organizer gives the speech about friendship and shows them that every single situation they had to face was part of the party (well, this was actually ok)

Synopsis: At the Forest Ridge Mall, head of security Ronnie Barnhardt patrols his jurisdiction with an iron fist, combating skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly customer while dreaming of the day when he can swap his flashlight for a badge and a gun. His delusions of grandeur are put to the test when the mall is struck by a flasher. Driven to protect and serve the mall and its patrons, Ronnie seizes the opportunity to showcase his underappreciated law enforcement talents on a grand scale, hoping his solution of this crime will earn a coveted spot at the police academy and the heart of his elusive dream girl Brandi, the hot make-up counter clerk who won't give him the time of day. But his single-minded pursuit of glory launches a turf war with the equally competitive Detective Harrison of the Conway Police, and Ronnie is confronted with the challenge of not only catching the flasher, but getting him before the real cops do.

I could say that I compare this movie with Me, Myself & Irene (in some way). Maybe because of the bi-polar cop role. The only difference is that in this movie, Seth Rogen plays a much drama kinda guy. I really enjoyed the plot, a good movie for a weekend night at home. The movie offered a good cast and plot, since it brings comedy from some actors that I've never seen in a comedy role before, for example, Michael Pena (which I consider a good actor, for example, in Shooter).
What did I like from this movie?
1. The interview moments, when he seriously take as an offense being called "security guard"
2. The scene when they bit the crap out of the kids skating in the parking lot
3. The moment when Seth is left in this gang neighborhood and he appears later with the kid after kicking everyone's butts and he gets motivated to go for the Police test
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The final scene when the pervert is running naked in the mall, too much!

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Frank W. Abagnale was employed as a doctor, a lawyer, and as a co-pilot for a major airline company's all before reaching his 21st birthday. A successful con artist and master of deception, Frank is also a brilliant forger, whose skill at check fraud has netted him millions of dollars in stolen funds--much to the chagrin of the authorities. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty has made it his prime mission to capture him and bring him to justice, however Frank is always one step ahead of Carl, baiting him to continue the chase.
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Nathalie Baye
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I really love movies based on true stories, and I personally believe that the story of Frank W. Abagnale is TOTALLY amazing. This man was a piece of art! I saw a TV show here in the UK about scams programs and one of the episodes from this show presented a scam used by Abagnale many years ago. He told the guys that when the movie was being filmed at the airport, he worked on a scam just to tease people and it was totally amazing how he fooled people and got their money. The guys applied it here in the UK and it worked also. He's definitely a genius about scam programs and falsifications. Anyway, the plot is basically about his life. I felt too much Hollywood style included in the plot. No matter what, I still loved the movie, and as I said, the story of this guy.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The way he played all his fake roles in life and especially, the way he practiced and learned about it.
2. It was really funny when he tries to be a lawyer, learning from TV movies
3. The way he's captured. It wasn't enough the planes in the bathroom, he already had a mass production of check books!
4. So good the way everything turned at the end in his life and movie, being offered to work for the FBI, instead of being in jail
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. As I said, it had too much Hollywood style, instead of making it more real or like a movie-documentary about this guy's life.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
One of my favorite movies. I believe it's one of the best (if not the best!) movies with Jack Black. Jack Black brings such a fresh and really funny role to this plot full of different situations, when Jack, being a frustrated musician and looser gets a temp job impersonating a substitute teacher (his roommate!). He inmediately turns his class in a complete rock band, including really hilarious situations, until the very last moment when they have they're great presentation in a rock band contest. I've watched this movie like 10 times so far and never get tired of it!
What did I like from this movie?
1. At the beginning, when he's playing with his band and jumps from the platform to the public and they don't catch him
2. When he's teaching his first lessons during his first day at work, changing all the rules and doing absolutely nothing, just waiting for the time to go home, while the kids are expecting him to teach them and give them some homework. Then, the second day he finds out the music talent of every kid in his class... the rest is history.
3. The whole situation when he's being busted and has to leave the job as substitute teacher, including with the next morning, when they play at the rock band contest.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I know Jack Black loves to sing, but I believe that the success of this movie motivated him to work on his next movie: Tenacious D, which I expected to be as good as this one, but honestly, it sucked. I believed because of the cast working with him.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
