Although at first, you will think about this movie's genre as being action, Chaos Theory is actually quite an entertaining movie about family and marriage, about friendship and misunderstandings. It takes up the subject of how one misunderstanding can lead to another and the consequences that follow. It tells the story of how things can change in an instant and how one little thing can be the reason for everything else happening. It's hard to tell that was this is a drama or a comedy. In my point of view it blends the both genres in a mediocre way. It is a great movie. Everything is so real that you can relate with each and every event in the movie. Ryan Reynolds is perfectly cast as obsessive organizer Frank. The rest of the cast were also great. And together with the fantastic soundtrack they made this movie into an entertainment and a worthwhile experience. Emily Mortimer played great as the wife and Matreya Fedor was great as the daughter. Together they made a family worth watching. I think it is a great movie with a good message of letting loose and living your life. They teach you that you shouldn't interrupt conversations and you should listen to what the other person has to say before you add something. Chaos Theory is above average. It is unusual, funny at times, emotional at times and scores high marks for its search into the dramatic side of life changing events. Definitely it is better than what one might expect. I give this movie seven to ten and it deserves to be watched. I am sure that you'll enjoy very much and never be bored in any minute of this movie. Some of the scenes will be unforgettable for you. Highly recommended. Have a nice time when watching.

Rosemary's Baby is a true genre classic.Undoubtedly, this film is certainly one of the best horror/suspense films ever made. As a horror fan I thought I was missing out on a lot by not having seen this, and I was right.Expectations were high and this one lived up to them.This movie is an example of the horror genre done right; there are spine-chilling moments, satanic images and horror themes that will stay with you forever. The editing in these parts is very impressive as well, creating visual illusions without special effects. It also contains some of the damned finest performances a horror film has ever seen.Mia Farrow was nominated for a Golden Globe award for her performance, and quite rightly so.Farrow's portrayal of the helpless mother desperately seeking to protect her unborn child is powerfully emotional. Ruth Gordon also put in a splendid performance as the creepy character of Minnie.This is a masterpiece of horror. Everyday situations have an undercurrent of evil. These skillfully hid details haunt the viewer. An odd closet, a suicide, her neighbors' extreme interest
As the date of birth gets closer, the film grows increasingly claustrophobic. The development of the plot gets interrupted abruptly in the last scenes, when the intrigue is revealed.The story builds a nice conspiracy well and sustains a real creepy atmosphere all the way through to good effect.Farrow is suitable unbalanced and we feel her fear and suspicion growing during the film. Her performance is really good and the fact that she manages to balance her own doubt for most of the film is very effective.The music is also very memorable and creepy.Overall, this is a perfect adaptation of Ira Levin's book, Rosemary's Baby remains today one of the best horror movies, not for its use of gore, but for its use of tension and surprise.
