Edge of darkness


MY OPINION: It was really good, action, Mel Gibson and some jumps!! The plot I guess it could have been a bit more interesting than it is but it was good enough to get my attention. Martin Campbell did a good job.

THE BEST: Seeing Mel Gibson again in action.

THE WORST: I guess the ending in a way.

UNEXPECTED: Being shot at the front door.

RATING: 6/10

Public Enemies


MY OPINION: Did not like it as I have expected. They put the same song every time they rob any bank, and I didn't get how the woman can be so in love with someone so dangerous and risk her own life. I understand Johnny Depp is worth it, but it makes me doubt it. Maybe it was a direccion's fault or script.

THE BEST: Not sure yet

THE WORST: The end.

UNEXPECTED: The woman who betrayed Johnny's character, I thought she would say anything at the cinema

RATING: 6/10

Rescue dawn


MY OPINION: I really liked the film, it is based on a real person and what he said it happened, Christian Bale is great as always and the film makes you being optimistic and always keep surviving under any circumstance.

THE BEST: Christian Bale

THE WORST: Sadly it was true

UNEXPECTED: Chopped head!!!

RATING: 9/10

Borat


MY OPINION: I have never wanted to watch it, it was one of those films that you know you will not like even before you see it, but after hearing loads about it and because of being so famous I have decided to give it a try....and here it is, what I think of it: Completely disgusting and unpleasant to watch, I could not finish it, I really cannot believe it made any money at all, or even people liked it.In my opinion it is not a comedy, it is just crap.

THE BEST: Nothing.

THE WORST: Everything

UNEXPECTED: Chicken in a suitcase????what????

RATING: 1/10

Gran Torino


MY OPINION: Astonishing film. Clint tells us a very common and simple story where a person changes completely (from being a loner to being a more social person), after dealing with the least person you could imagin. I would describe it

THE BEST: Clint Eastwood

THE WORST: The lack of choice at he end.

UNEXPECTED: The well planned ending.

RATING: 9/10

Up


MY OPINION: Excellent animated film. Funny and very sentimental. One of the best Pixar movies ever made, loved it completely even though it made me cry at times....

THE BEST: Everything, including Kevin and Dug :)

THE WORST: It made me cry

UNEXPECTED: Kevin and talking dogs :P

RATING: 9/10

Tropic Thunder


MY OPINION: Funny all the way through. The original trailers at the beginning are hilarious and the cast is remarkable.

THE BEST: Lots of things, like Ben Stillers's sense of humour, Robert D Jr act, the trailers at the start, Tom Cruise, the explosion of the director, etc...

THE WORST: If I have to say anything I would go for the character that Jack Black plays, I don not really like it...sorry :( but I do like Jack.

UNEXPECTED: Tom Cruise dancing :P

RATING: 7/10

The time traveller's wife


MY OPINION: Impossible to change the past but they didn't explained at all the whole thing. You can see and know what will happen but you do not try to know how to control it, because you know it can be done.... I am sorry but I do not get it.

THE BEST: To introduce a bit of mystery in a romantic story.

THE WORST: To watch Eric Bana on and on about travelling but not investigate why and how it happens? You know the date!!!Try to avoid things!!! It's like Flashforward, You know the facts and dates...Just do not be there on that day :P

UNEXPECTED: Nothing really

RATING: 4/10

Gone baby gone


MY OPINION: Ben Affleck directed well, and even though his brother annoys me, I thought is well acted. Cast is good as well. My only concern is about the dilema at the end...I would have left it open.

THE BEST: Not sure...

THE WORST: They swear too much and it is impossible to understand what Casey Affleck says

UNEXPECTED: The end

RATING: 7/10

Hot Fuzz


MY OPINION: As a british film I would have to say that it is one of the good ones. It's funny and has a lot of action. Maybe too much sometimes. The duo work well together and the other cast is ok as well. A bit predictable but I guess is part of the fun.

THE BEST: Eating a cornetto in one bite and driiive, that was funny, and the Point Break scene.

THE WORST: The flashes between shots, they make me dizzy.

UNEXPECTED: After the explosion some people are still alive???

RATING: 6/10

Alice in wonderland


MY OPINION: I love movies where the characters use their imagination, but in this film, something is missing, it could be the lack of expression from Alice or that if it is after the original story. it is not well explained. I lost interest after 30 minutes.

THE BEST: Alice's wardrobe, visual effects and Johnny Depp

THE WORST: Alice

UNEXPECTED: Difficult to follow

RATING: 4/10

The Condemned


MY OPINION: A bunch of people trapped on an island to fight for their lives, and all is filmed to show on an internet show!!!! Sadly some people would watch it if it was real. I think it was kind of entertaining because I knew people weren't hurt. Mostly it is for guys in need of a wresting session with some muscular guys and acting like Die Hard stuff...

THE BEST: Uhmmmm.... maybe the island. It was beautiful location :P

THE WORST: Too much violence

UNEXPECTED: Seeing girls fighting with big guys

RATING: 4/10

The Road



MY OPINION: I shouldn't be writting this, really. I was forced to finish it. My opinion is very negative about the story. The film is very well made, but from my perspective, the story is very sad and depressing. I did not like the way it made me feel while I was watching it.

THE BEST: Viggo Mortensen

THE WORST: The story and the end.

UNEXPECTED: The sadness and the pessimism of some characters.

RATING: 5/10

Daybreakers



MY OPINION: The film is between blue and yellow, I enjoyed the film from beginning to end. Vampires, humans and optimism if you can see it. Great cast and well directed aswell. It is so good that you may want to try a bite after it :P

THE BEST: I have to say Ethan's human eyes and the end.

THE WORST: I think it was too much blood, it didn't needed it to be good.

THE UNEXPECTED: The "cure".

RATING: 8/10

Prince of Persia


MY OPINION: It was really entertaining, action, adventure, love and a bit of comedy. The film has similar bits to the game, at least the one I remember. Without a doubt I would recomend the film to people I know and can appreciate it the way I did.

THE BEST: Jake Gyllenhaal and Alfred Molina.

THE WORST: The soundtrack and some bits were too similar to Pirates of the Caribbean.

UNEXPECTED: Jake's great english accent, and the ending. I would have expected it open for a sequel.

RATING: 8/10

American Gangster



MY OPINION: It was very long but I really liked it. Ridley Scott is an excellent director, and the cast is exceptional. I can't believe how money and power can destroy so many lives. It was good to know that Denzel's character had a concience after all, even though he seemed like he didn't.

THE BEST: It was well explained, I managed to understand it!!!

THE WORST:Denzel looked too similar to the Training Day's character performance.

UNEXPECTED: Crowe pointing the gun at some kids :P

RATING: 8/10
