Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Review

We found Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to be a pretty good movie. Pretty good in this movie means that it had good action, effects, and long length. The story is not strong in this movie, but that is not something we expected. When watching a movie such as this, about alien robots on Earth [...]


Terminator Salvation Movie Review

Terminator Salvation, directed by McG, was released May 21 of 2009. The whole movie is shot in a grey low saturation style, almost looking like it is a viedo game. Some stars in this movie include Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, and Moon Bloodgood. This latest part of the Terminator series is one of the best [...]


Hancock Movie Review

Hancock is a 2008 movie starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman, Charlize Theron, Eddie Marsan, by director Peter Berg. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Cloverfield Movie Review

Cloverfield is a 2008 movie starring Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, Odette Yustman, Lizzy Caplan, by director Matt Reeves. The most interesting thing I found about this movie is that it was filmed as if done by hand with camcorders. This effect, combined with the explosions, drama, and craziness in New York city, does make for [...]

Inside Man Movie Review

Inside Man is a Spike Lee movie that stars three academy award winners, including Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, and Jodie Foster. Denzel Washington plays a sharp detective, Clive Owen plays a masterful bank robber, and Jodie Foster plays a fix it person. This is a heist crime thriller like no other. As Denzel Washington tries [...]


Mission Impossible III

Mission Impossible III is the third in a set of three modern Mission Impossible movies. This was my favorite one since it was so clever and worldly. Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt in this J.J. Abrams adventure movie. Cruise is convinced to come back to the action as the movie starts out. Hunt faces a [...]
