Glory Road Movie Review

If you are a Basketball fan, this is not a movie for you. Not much basketball action what so ever.
If you are looking for an inspirational film, move along and go rent remember the titans.
If you are black and looking to see a moment in time for black people in the basketball, it could be a movie for you, but don’t expect any great acting.

Pretty much a rental.

Underworld 2 Movie Review

Better than the first movie, this movie has a much better story, better special effects, and some nudity this time.

I believe Kate Beckinsale is a lot hotter in this one than ever.

Great action and good storyline, who can beat that.

King Kong 2005 Movie Review

King Kong is one definitely one of the best movies this year and quite possibly one of my favorite action movies of all time. Peter Jackson definitely did not dissappoint and I will from now on watch anything that he makes.

King Kong had at least 5 top of the line action scenes that rival any action movie ever produced including Lord of the Rings.

As you can tell I am giving King Kong a very high rating of A.

I warn you though the ladies might cry if you watch this because its pretty darn sad for the big guy.

This is a perfect date movie, family movie, buddy movie, perfect.

Also remember to give yourself ample time to watch this movie, it takes 3 hours and 7 minutes to complete.

Chronicles of Narnia - Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe Movie Review

I read Narnia when I was in elementary school, it was a good book. One of the very few books I have read back in the days.

This movie was not as good as I expected. I guess I grew up because this movie to me was very kiddy-like.

The Special effects was OK only and the story was OK only, appeals only to younger kids. Acting is horrible.

I do not recommend people over the age of 15 to go watch this movie.

My rating: C-

Aeon Flux Movie Review

When I was young I used to watch Aeon Flux on MTV, but didn’t get what the hell was going on. This movie finally summed it up, or I got older and understand a lot more.

Anyways, Great Movie, awesome action, awesome scenery, and who else Charlize was fantastic.

If you are an anime fan, action fan, Charlize fan, this is the movie for you. Great date or friends movie.

Rating: B+

Pride and Prejudice 2005 Movie Review

When I was younger I have tried to read this book for my High School Honors class, couldn’t do it, too boring. So I tried read the cliff notes, couldn’t do it, too boring. Back then there was no movie version of this book, so I just stopped reading it and took a test on it and failed.

Now 2005, watching this movie I finally get the story. Good story geared toward women. If you read this book and liked it, then you will like this movie too.

But if you have seen the Colin Ferth version, you will still like it, but not as much as the Colin Ferth version, because of Colin Ferth. But this movie is definitely recommended for Pride and Prejudic fans.

Knightly was perfect in this role, no other actress could of done this better in this movie.

The scenery in this movie BLEW me AWAY. You should watch this movie just for the scenery and the sets.

Overall Rating: B+

Worst movies of 2005 - do not watch

Here is the short list:

Charlie and the Chocolate factory 2005 - avoid this at all costs, better off with the original version
Transporter 2 - I want my life back, all cheesed out

Must see movies of 2005

Here is a list of must see movies of 2005 that is already out:

Mr. And Mrs. Smith
40 year old Virgin
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Hitch
King Kong

Update - I was wrong on Narnia, movie is too kiddy-like, if you do not have kids and you are an adult, skip it. Even if you read the book in your younger years, skip it. I was correct on King Kong, one of the must see movies of 2005.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night.

I give this movie an A.

Reasons:

  • Special Effects were AMAZING
  • Humor was as great as ever
  • Storyline was awesome
  • There is a Dragon
  • Interesting new characters
  • Left me wanting more..

This was by far the best Harry Potter Movie out to date. Worth the wait standing in line for an hour.
