Burlesque (2010)
Hot.Hot.Hot
I have no idea why this movie is rated as a 6 it has to be at least an 8. Of course it is not the deepest or most meaningful movie out there, but it does it's job which is to entertain.
This movie was almost 2 hour long and it passed by like 10 minutes! I actually did not want it to end. It was just so much FUN! The dancing, the music and the performance overall was mind-blowing. And the costumes were to die for!
The movie was extremely steamy and hot without any nudity. Everyone in the movie is super good-looking which for me was a complete +1! It's just so much fun, the story isn't WOW but the movie was just great for its genre.
Christina -eventhough is not the best actress out there- was great for her role, because seriously she was gorgeous and her voice makes you tingle! And Cher as always is perfection.
Definitely going to see it twice! But have in mind take it as it is and just have fun, because you will probably see the hottest movie out there!
Lie to Me: Blinded (2009)
.Best.Episode.Ever.
I'm a huge fan of Lie To Me, it's so original, exciting and the characters are so interesting. But this episode was different, this episode was THE episode of Lie To Me.
I have never seen an episode like this air on TV before. It is so well-thought and the plot is mind-blowing. Twisted, and filled with malice is what describes this episode.
Daniel Sunjata who plays a major role in this episode as the psychopath rapist is beyond amazing, he is one hell of an actor. He is so charming in a creepy way, I can't find the words to describe it. His easiness and calmness makes you shiver at the sight of him. I'm trying my best to describe how amazing this episode is, but I just can't, you HAVE to watch it.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Overrated!
Transformers the sequel is a perfect definition for the word overrated. It is has been highly publicized so it will inevitably be a blockbuster but I personally did not like it.
I actually find it quite boring, usually explosives and awesome digital effects aren't boring. But when the movie is all that, yes it is. I almost fell asleep! There was no clear story, it's obvious the movie is just about showing off effects.
But I won't say I didn't enjoy it at all. The characters are awesome, I enjoyed when they actually were involved in talking to each other (Probably 10-20 lines each, that's for the main characters) Other than that they were just running around with explosives everywhere.
By the way there is a huge error in this movie, apparently the two main characters ran -on foot- from Jordan to the pyramids of Egypt in like an hour. Are they serious? Those to places are not even close, it would take DAYS or maybe WEEKS to go there on foot.
5/10
House (2008)
Piece of CRAP.
I have always said that there is never a bad movie, each movie at least has a good part in it. I never imagined that I'd ever rate a movie 1/10. I actually think it deserves a ZERO but that's not possible here.
The movie is simply TERRIBLE, terrible can't even do the movie justice. IT IS HORRIBLE! I can't believe it! I watched the trailer and looked forward to it I thought it would be exciting and scary. It wasn't! First of all this movie is COMEDY, wait I think it's actually "SCARY MOVIE" in disguise. The acting was TERRIBLE! The music was TYPICAL and VERY BAD. There was no storyline, I mean seriously! I still have no clue what HAPPENED, or what the story was! It was freaking, not confusing, but weird in a bad BAD way! Oh and don't let me start talking about the make up HORRIBLE, some characters looked like CLOWNS. What the HELL. I can NOT believe this movie was released! It should be banned, it's SO bad that it makes you laugh! I laughed so hard on how bad this was! When I entered the theater about 20 people were there, when the movie finished only 3 were left (me and my friends) everyone LEFT. I had hope that it would suddenly, suddenly BE GOOD, but NO NO NOOOOO!!! -SPOILER- THE ENDING? WHAT THE HELL. They were dead ALL along, do they think that would spice things up? It made me laugh, it made it WORST.
Waste of time AND MONEY! The only good thing that came out of this is that now I know what is the WORST movie EVER and I can warn people not to watch it! 0.5/10 DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. I read the reviews and I didn't believe them, and watched this movie, oh I wish I believed them.
DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!
17 Again (2009)
A fun movie!
Once in a while I like to go out with my friends to watch a comedy/fun movie. You know one that isn't so deep and leaves you confused, no a movie that you just sit and laugh with your friends and enjoy it to the max. And that's what 17 again is about.
The movie is simply FUN and yes it is funny I burst out laughing a lot. Of course there was the cheesy factor but you must admit it we all want to watch a cheesy movie once in a while.
And oh my Zac Efron knows how to act! Now I know why he is an actor! He portrayed his role perfectly, I was shocked! I like the fact that he took up this movie it will now give him a new reputation as an actor, not a random untalented wannabe from a musical! 17 again is one of those movies that you'd watch multiple times and not be bored! A great movie to see with a bunch of people (friends or family). Great fun! 8/10
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)
Good, but dull.
The beginning of the movie was good it attracted my attention and made me anticipate that this story will be different, that this movie will be unusual, and I was right.
However there were 40 minutes in the middle of the movie that were completely DULL! I barely could continue, I actually took a nap, and then finished the movie. I also think that it was too long, if they cut out about 40 or 30 minutes it would've been better.
But even though it was dull the ending was priceless, I must admit I initially was very confused I didn't know what exactly happened. So I quickly checked for an explanation online and then I understood it. And as I understood the ending, I found out that the meaning behind the movie is profound. Therefore, it isn't easy to consume but it is still a very intelligent movie. Especially the ending, I think it actually made me a bit sad, not for the victims but for the murderer (Jean)!
I must also applause Ben Whishaw for playing Jean so magnificently, even though he didn't have much to say his acting was perfect. He portrayed Jean as a naive boy, lost in the obsession of his talent incredibly.
8/10
Cruel Intentions (1999)
Cruel, Evil and Entertaining
I watched this movie just a couple of minutes ago because it was recommended frequently by my friends. So at last I got to see it.
I have to say that the title of the movie fits quite well with it, it is pure evil and malice.
The movie starts off with Sebastian the stepbrother of Kathryn (a popular girl who maintains her "good image" at school but is secretly well a B***CH). Sebastian is what every parent does not want in a child, he is careless, rude and most importantly sex-obsessed. Sebastian makes a bet with Kathryn that he can get Annette (the perfect good girl who swore to keep her virginity until true love) in bed, and if he wins he gets Kathryn his obviously "long love" and if he doesn't Kathryn gets his car.
Sebastian goes ahead with his plan but with unexpected surprise he actually falls in love with Annette. I think it is quite a typical bad boy good girl story but it was enjoyable. However what I did not like was that he fell in love with her VERY quickly, seriously is that love? Looked more like a crush! Anyways other than that the movie was entertaining, was predictable at times but was also very unpredictable. The ending for examples WOW-ed me I have NEVER expected Sebastien to die, and it was quite satisfying that all Kathryn's bad deeds finally back-fired.
About the acting I have to praise Ryan Phillippe he did a great job and I must admit he is very charismatic and charming.
Overall it was a good and actually deep teen movie! I give it a 7/10
Fast & Furious (2009)
Can this movie get more ridiculous?
The answer is NO.
This movie was beyond awful. The only reason that I didn't give it a 1/10 is because I watched it with my friends, that means we laughed really hard on stupid scenes, so we kind of enjoyed it. But as a movie it had NOTHING, it was empty, I don't even recall the story! The fighting was boring, the action was CHEESY, the cars weren't that interesting (watch Death Race and you'll know how movies about cars should be) and mostly Vin Diesel was horrible! He is a bad actor, I feel bad for dissing him but he is, and what is up with those muscles? Very distracting - and NO not in a good way.
Okay so maybe I enjoyed the movie once or twice during it but that's about it. It is obvious that the target audience is men who want to see some cars flying around and a lot of hot chicks. Okay I GET IT the movie has to have some hot girls but what is UP with the asses? Most of the film was people shouting in Spanish and scenes of girl's asses. How stupider it can be? I have no idea! I know this movie might not be directed to me a 18 year old girl, but I enjoy such movies (yes I don't mind the "hot chicks" and "cars") I'm into movies with car action! But this movie was just silly.
Don't waste your time on it, if you are interested in a COOL FUN movie - WITH HOT CHICKS & CARS - obviously what guys are looking for .. watch Death Race, you WILL enjoy it SO much better! 4/10
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
How come I didn't stumble on this movie before?
I LOVED IT.
From reading all the comments I've realized it's one of those movies that you either love or hate. I think people who didn't like it are probably interested in those obvious lame comedy movies or action movies.
This movie had a wacky sense of humor that made me burst out laughing throughout it. A great story and a lot of symbolism.
The movie is about a broken family, mostly three brothers who obviously love each other but are just distanced. Their oldest brother played by Owen Wilson tries his best to reunite the family.
Their love for each other and their brotherhood is beautiful. I think I understood it because I myself have three sisters and we act the same exact way borrowing stuff without asking, fighting for no reason, telling on each other and so on. That is how sibling really act.
The acting was magnificent. But Adrien Brody was seriously INCREDIBLE he was the star of the movie I do not have words to describe how good he was! The place where the movie was shot was also very beautiful, the bright colors, the music, everything was perfect.
I recommend this movie to people who appreciate profound movies with a quirky sense of humor.
And at the end of the movie in the part where they run to the train and let go of the luggage, I almost clapped. Beautiful metabolism I hope everyone picked that up!
Bravo to Wes Anderson. Amazing director! 10/10
Silent Hill (2006)
Simply Awesome!
I watched Silent Hill about a month ago, and I must say it is one of those movies you can't stop thinking about. I loved most of it from the plot, to the ending, to the graphics and cinematography. The feel of the movie was real, I felt that I was moving along the steps of the characters, I gasped, shrieked, and closed my eyes, all the things you should be doing in horror movies.
But this movie was more than that, it was deeper, I loved the details of it, if you are interested in history of the town you'd find the little details beyond fascinating. I personally thought it was more than just a gruesome horror movie it was very artistic.
I also loved how you might be a bit confused throughout the movie but in the end everything makes sense, and that minute you realize that this movie was all worth it.
The only flaw in the movie might be that the acting of the main characters, wasn't incredible it was a bit fake at times. Other than that I loved this movie and would recommend it to all the fans of the game and horror movie lovers! 9/10
Up (2009)
Beautiful movie, recommended for everyone.
I'm a movie junkie, but I was never a fan of animated ones (3D). Even if they were PIXAR's work I'd usually be a bit disappointed. But when I saw the trailer for UP I just had a feeling that this would be PIXAR's best. I went to watch it today with my whole family, age ranging from 5 years old to 50 years old. And I swear that everyone enjoyed it.
At first I thought it would be the happy animated movie everyone enjoys to watch. But it was deeper than that, it had a message that I believe touched all the audience.
The movie starts with Mr.Frederickson life story with his beloved wife. They shared everything from love to dreams. They always dreamed to have a great adventure in South America. But in the end it was just a dream, and time passed by, as they got old together, and unfortunately his wife passes away. The story of their love is remarkably touching I am 18 years old but I still shed a tear, and my heart ached me.
Later on Mr.Frederickson sets his mind on achieving his wife's and his own dream by flying all the way to paradise falls. But with a pleasurable surprise Russell a young wilderness explorer tags alone. We see their fantastic adventures as they head to their destination. Throughout it they meet many friends a dog called doug and a bird called Kevin.
They move bravely through the obstacles to reach to Mr.Frederickson's dream destination.
Over all this movie gives you more than a few laughs, smiles and tears.
It gives out an important message that friendship does not have any limits, dreams can always be achieved, tomorrow is always a new adventure and mostly it teaches you to let go of the past but not to forget it.
This movie has it's very own special place on my list of favorite movies. I truly loved it and recommend everyone to watch it.
Stardust (2007)
Amazing movie!
About a week ago my sister bought the DVD of this movie and was insisting to watch it together I wasn't really interested since I hate fantasy movies they just bore me to death. But since it was summer and I had nothing to do I sat down and watched it with her. And I have to say I was so happy I did, it is truly one of the best movies I've ever seen. It had everything from romance to adventures to comedy. The actors and actresses were phenomenal, I have to say that Claire Danes did a great job and was the star of the movie. Plus the ending was just so magical a happy ending that was actually not cheesy! It is one of the movies I won't mind watching again and again! 10/10
