Yes it uses a recycled plot but it’s executed perfectly and I bet the other films didn’t have blue people in them!

Avatar 3D : I didnt care for it, the only thing good about the movie was the graphics, soundtrack wasnt inspiring, plot was cliche, weak justification for the mass murder of so many humans. Also couldnt suspend my disbeleif in some areas, mainly the part where a digital image is "scaled up and enhanced" and one part where some normal photographs were shown in 3D as well as near the end where the Jake Sully and Neytiri 's hands are the same size 2/5
Sherlock Homes : loved it good acting, good action, brilliant soundtrack, rather predictable but it still kept me interested 4/5

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I saw Daybreakers last night.
The first half was pretty awesome. It had a really cool aesthetic and vibe and was doing some reasonably interesting things. Unfortunately the second half degraded and instead of a very obvious, satisfying ending they went for an extremely cliched one which whilst 'happier' was just less satisfying.
Also they could have done a lot better with less action and more thinking and arguing. I sort of get the feeling that they wanted something a bit more cerebral but it just didn't pan out for whatever reason. Even so it's reasonably fun and worth seeing. Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe both give pretty good performances and are both pretty pleasing to the eye, so that's okay then.
Oh and they completely avoided any (SPOILER)ty love/romance bollocks! Which was nice.
I totally wanted to live in the vampire city they portrayed in the beginning of the movie. I thought it was sweet and I sympathised with them. XD
For a moment there I actually thought they were going to just chuck one in there, (SPOILER)when they're in the surveillance room during the climax, just for the halibut. Pleasantly surprised that they didn't.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
The Hurt Locker
5/5
Incredible, riveting, smurfing intense. It's one of the best movies I've seen all year, one of the most uniquely crafted films I've ever seen, and one of the most profoundly uncomfortable movie watching experiences I've ever had. It's not a film you see to have a good time. I finished watching it and my whole body felt rigid and exhausted. I'm not sure I would ever watch this film again, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's an amazing film and the only film that I know of that shows the brutality of war, without any sort of political agenda.

Pretty much sucked.
Going to watch The Law Abiding Citizen soon. Mmm, Gerard Butler.

Forrest Gump. Amazing movie.
Death to Smoochy, one of my all time favorite bad movies. The premise is kiddie shows are really hotbeds of corruption, lust and murder. It's so bad that its wildly entertaining. I guess it's because the acting is over the top yet the characters themselves are generally likable. Except Robin Williams' Rainbow Randolph, who is so insufferable that when gansters rough him up, you cheer on the gangsters. My favorite character is Tommy Cotter, the matriarch of the gangsters who effortly mixes steely ruthlessness with mother hen instincts.
Paranormal Activity: 3/5
For the type of movie it was (POV) it wasn't too bad, dialogue was a bit lengthy at times, and since when did a movie based on a true story have an alternate ending? o.o
District 9: 5/5
Alien movies aren't really my thing but this was amazing. Awesome graphics and concept. Plot was well done and the action was incredible. Five stars all around.
